Well, a quarter-moon before the haircut, Firestar invited me to watch some TV at his den. He brought a chocolate bar to the "kouch" with him, and I recgonized the color of the wrapper immediately, even though I couldn't see the writing from my side of the "kouch". It was my favorite type of candy bar.
We started watching a pretty scary movie. Two she-cats with teleportation powers were trying to kill each other. Yet, although it was scary, it was pretty good.
Pretty soon Firestar was completely engrossed in the movie, and was paying me no attention whatsoever. The candy bar had slipped out of his paw and onto the part of the "kouch" right next to him. I slowly and carefully began to slowly inch toward him. He didn't notice me. I slowly reached with my paw for the candy bar. I grabbed it, and then, I ate it.
Near the end of the movie, Firestar meowed, "I'm hungry."
He looked around for his candy bar and couldn't find it. "Where's my candy bar?" he asked, looking at me.
"I dunno," I meowed, not removing my eyes from the screen.
"I said, 'WHERE IS IT!'" Firestar repeated impatiently.
"Maybe you dropped it on that ugly purple carpet of yours," I replied, still not looking away from the movie, where the two she-cats were both lying in the middle of the path, bleeding and only shown not to be dead by the faint rise and fall of their chests.
"It's not ugly!" Firestar meowed as he lowered himself closer to the ground and scanned the floor.
"I don't see it!" he exclaimed.
I said nothing. The movie was coming to a conclusion. A tom padded down the path and froze in shock when he saw the two half-dead she-cats. "Medicine cat!" he called.
A medicine cat came rushing into view after a pause. He walked up to one of the she-cats. Her breathing had appeared to stop. The medicine cat glanced at the other she-cat and then sighed. "They're both dead...." the medicine cat began.
"Cloudtail!" Firestar screamed in my ear. "Did you hear what I just said?"
"I'm trying to watch a movie," I muttered.
"Well, my candy bar..." Firestar began.
"Do you even realize that both of the she-cats, you know, the main characters of the movie just died?" I asked.
"What?" Firestar asked, brought back to reality for a moment.
He turned to look at the TV for a moment and saw the she-cats' dead bodies. Then he went back to the candy bar search. "Where is it?" he asked, growling now.
The movie ended and the credits came on. Thunder roared overhead and gray clouds were beginning to appear in the sky. I glanced at the sky and leapt off the "kouch". "It's gonna rain soon," I meowed quickly. "I better head back to my den ."
I quickly darted out of the den.
"CLOUDTAIL!!!!!!"
