Rio, Saph, and Leafy are gathered around a small card table that was unfolded in the back of the office. Outside, it's dark, and wind moans gently in the background. With a sigh, Rio tosses her cards on the table and leans backwards.

Rio: I fold. I think I need to get some sleep - I have school tomorrow.

Saph: It's only five thirty! *starts dealing out a new set of cards.* Oh right... sorry, I forget that the Freedom Eagle set your dumb time zones.

Rio: The Freedom Eagle is my senpai.

Leafy: I thought your senpai was Dustpelt? *pushes her chips into the center of the table and glances out the window*

Rio: *shrugs* Senpai comes in many forms.

Saph: Moving onward... *starts collecting the cards and forming them into a deck* Does anyone else hear that weird knocking from outside the office?

Leafy: I'll go check the door. *stands up and walks over to the door* Hello?

Rain is now gently pattering against the sides of the building, and soft mews are audible from outdoors. Leafy opens the door, and three cats quickly rush in, their pelts damp from the clouds above.

Rio: IT'S BRIGHTHEART~SENPAI! *bolts upward*

Brightheart: *dips her head to Leafy* Thank you for letting us come inside. It is rather cold out there. *shivers slightly and turns to Rio* What's a senpai?

Rio: How can you—you not know what a senpai is? *faints from shock*

Saph: Sorry about her... she's stayed up too late again. *pushes Rio's limp body toward a corner and haphazardly drapes a blanket over her* Anyways... who else do we have here.

Onewhisker: Hello! The name's Onewhisker, nice to meet you all.

Leafy: Hi Onewhisker! When do you become a lead—

Saph: *stuffes her tail into Leafy's jaw* Shhhh! Don't tell them anything that could mess things up when they get back into their own dimensions. If he knows he becomes leader, Mudcl—*stops talking*

Onewhisker: Wait, I become the leader?!?

Saph: Uh, no. Forget I said that.

Leafy: *flicks her tail sharply and mutters under her breath* Hypocrite...

Onewhisker: Wait, does Mudclaw die? Or does he become leader and then dies? What happens? *pads toward Saph*

Saph: *inches toward Rio's snoring body* Nothing! Nothing at all!

Frostfur: *croaks gently* I'm here too...

Leafy: *turns to the ThunderClan elder* Hello there! So you're the one who gets left behind and dies, huh.

Frostfur: Wait what?!?

Saph: *sighs* Maybe we should stop talking.

Rio: Maybe you should! I'm trying to sleep here...

Another chapter by Rio. Don't mind the spam; my admins are just being a bit unproductive ;)
