*under le tree*

Margerystar: *yawns, waking up* Happypaw? Babypaw? Sourpaw? Are you guys awake?

Sourpaw: We are now. -_-

Margerystar: *rolls eyes* Good, 'cause we need to get going. We have to get back to PickleClan, and who knows where Zolon is!

Random Yellow Cat: *sashays up* Hey y'all! Whatcha doin'?

Happypaw: Who are you?

Random Yellow Cat: Well, I'm not "Random Yellow Cat", like some people seem to think. *glares at Writer*

Writer: *whistles nonchalantly*

Random Yellow Cat: Actually, my name is Custard. What're yer names?

Margerystar: I'm Margerystar, leader of PickleClan. These are three of my Clanmates, Happypaw, Sourpaw, and Babypaw.

Custard: Awful small Clan ya got there.

Margerystar: The rest of my Clan is in the forest. I was captured by Zolon and these three brave apprentices came to rescue me. I'm trying to get back to my Clan now.

Custard: Oh, well that makes more sense. So, why'd ol' Zolon capture ya?

Margerystar: My Clan and I were fighting him and his Insane People at the Mountain of Chocolate Cake 'cause he stole our Protection Stone, and then he grabbed me and carried me off.

Custard: Ah. Well, I gotta beef with 'em too. I'd be glad to help ya.

Sourpaw: What did they do to you?

Custard: Stole my backgammon board. x-(

Happypaw: Um...

Custard: How 'bout I go get my siblings? One of 'em's a real good tracker, he can prob'ly getcha back to yer Clan in the blink of an eye.

Margerystar: Oh, sure. Thanks for the help!

Custard: No problem! *sashays off*

Sourpaw: Is all you do is sashay?

Custard: No, I also prance, waltz, can-can, and saunter. Which do ya want?

Sourpaw: ...Never mind.

Custard: Okay! *sashays off*

~An hour later~

Custard: *waltzes up with three random yellow cats and a random black cat* Hey guys! Meet Butter, Cream, Egg, and Bob.

Margerystar: ...Bob?

Custard: Hey, I didn't name 'im that. >.>

Egg: Hello.

Butter: Howdy.

Cream: Hey.

Bob: Yo.

Happypaw: ...Hi...

Babypaw: Do you know how to get to Bernie's Fawm?

Margerystar: Ahem, we're not going to Bernie's Farm, Babypaw. Maybe some other time. Anyway, do you know how to get us back to the forest?

Egg: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! Sure I can, easy as pie. Piece of cake. Know the way like the back of my paw. I--

Custard: Thank you, Egg! Let's get going, shall we? *whispers* He's a little big on idioms, cliches, sayings, those kinda things.

Margerystar: I see...

Custard: Welp, let's go! *waltzes off*

*in le forest*

Margerystar: This is it! Thank you!

Custard: Ah, no problem, glad to help ya. And speaking of help, d'you think we could help ya with yer little feud with ol' Zolon?

Margerystar: We're glad for the help, but, are you sure?

Custard: You kiddin'? We haven't played backgammon for months!

Margerystar: Oh, er, well, okay. I've got no idea where Zolon has the Protection Stone, though.

Custard: Oh, well that's no trouble, Cream here can find it in a flash. She's a bit of an expert at findin' stuff. 'Ey, Cream! Get that little device Butter made ya and look fer Margerystar's Protection Stone.

Cream: Okay. *pulls out device and starts fiddling with it*

Happypaw: So Egg's a tracker, Butter's an inventor, Cream's a finder, and you're in charge? What does Bob do?

Custard: Stands around, mostly. Sometimes 'e pops up with some great idea, but 'e mostly just follows us around. Real good fighter, though, we just don't fight a whole lot so we don't put that on his resume.

Sourpaw: You have resumes?

Custard: 'Course we do! Right 'ere. *shows resumes*

Sourpaw: Oh...cool...

Margerystar: Look! The camp! *runs in*

Jewelheart: *gasp* Margerystar! You're alive!

Margerystar: Of course I am! *mutters* You think I would leave my Clan and let you become leader?

Jewelheart: What?

Margerystar: Oh, nothing, Thing. I'd like you to meet the cats that helped me and the apprentices find our way back. This is Custard, Butter, Egg, Cream, and Bob.

Sunfrost: ...Bob?

Margerystar: My words exactly. .-. Anyway, they have their own argument with Zolon and have agreed to help us.

Cream: EUREKA!

Peanutternothing: *jumps* What?! What happened?!

Custard: Oh, nothin', she just yells that every time she's found somethin'. Did ya find the Stone, Cream?

Cream: I did! It's at Windbreaker Castle!

Jewelheart: You mean that dark, foreboding castle on the other side of the lake?

Cream: Uh-huh, exact same one.

Sunfrost: What a dumb name. Who'd ever think of naming a castle after a jacket?

Writer: -.- I have the power to delete you, you know.

Sunfrost: Sorry, sorry. Forget I said anything. *mutters* Tyrant.

Writer: WHAT WAS THAT?!

Sunfrost: Who, me? Nothing. :)

Writer: x-(

Margerystar: AHEM, I think we should all sleep on it. We'll attack the Jacket Castle or whatever the heck its name is tomorrow morning. Custard, you and your siblings are more than welcome to stay here. :)

Custard: Ah, thanks! We 'preciate the hospitality.

Margerystar: You're welcome! Now, to bed, all of you! We have to be awake at the crack of dawn. And no weird wake up calls this time, Thing.

Jewelheart: No promises. >:)

So! Hope you liked this part. Personally, I love Custard already. xD
