*two hours later*

Cats of PickleClan: *finally run out of breath and collapse to the ground*

Sunfrost: *looks up from card game with Margerystar* About time.

Margerystar: *jumps back on Meeting Stump* All right everyone, listen up! Yes, the Protection Stone was stolen, but—

Hellokitty: *about to start screaming again*

Margerystar: *glares at Hellokitty*

Hellokitty: Errrr... *looks away sheepishly*

Margerystar: Ahem, thank you. Now then, everyone remember, don't panic!

Sunfrost: Could've said that a bit sooner.

Margerystar: -_- ANYWAY, we need to examine the scene of the crime and find out who it was that stole the Protection Stone. So, nobody touch anything!

Jewelheart: But, Margerystar—

Margerystar: Be quiet, Thing, I'm trying to talk. Who's our best detective?

Jewelheart: You said not to touch anything, but—

Margerystar: Thing, shush. Umm... Us, you investigate where the Stone was and see what—

Jewelheart: Margerystar!

Margerystar: THING! STOP INTERRUPTING!

Jewelheart: BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Margerystone: The Protection Stone was just STOLEN!!! What could be more important than that?!

Jewelheart: YOU TOLD US NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING BUT YOU'RE SITTING ON THE PLACE THE PROTECTION STONE USED TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Margerystar: What? *looks down* ...Oh.

Jewelheart: GAHHHHH

Margerystar: *clears throat* Um, Thing, take Peach, Ninnyclaw, Tweepytail, and Firepaw and go see if the thieves left a trail we can follow. Report back to me.

Jewelheart: Fine. -_-

*patrol leaves*

*in le forest*

Tweepytail: Hey! Look what I found! These tracks aren't cat tracks!

Ninnyclaw: OOOOOH!

Jewelheart: Don't make such a big deal about it, Ninnyclaw. It's just the Insane People— WAIT! THE INSANE PEOPLE?!?!?!? OH GREAT STARCLAN THE INSANE PEOPLE HAVE STOLEN THE ONE THING THAT KEEPS US SAFE FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ninnyclaw, Peach, Firepaw, and Tweepytail: OH MY GOSHHHHHH!!!!!!

Jewelheart: We have to report to Margerystar right now! Where did I put that thing... *starts rummaging around in some tree roots* Oh! Here it is! *straps on jetpack*

Firepaw: What the—

Peach: O.o

Ninnyclaw: Cool! Do I get one??? :D

Jewelheart: No. *flies away*

Ninnyclaw: >:(

Tweepytail: Ummm, I guess we'll just walk back then...

*back at le camp*

Jewelheart: *lands in middle of camp*

Margerystar: O.O

Jewelheart: Margerystar! You'll never believe it! We found out who stole the Protection Stone!

Margerystar: Okay, first, two questions. One: Where are Ninnyclaw, Tweepytail, Peach, and Firepaw? Two: How in the world do you have a jet pack????

Jewelheart: Errrr.... Long story. Now, don't you want to hear who stole the Protection Stone?

Margerystar: Who?

Jewelheart: Okay, ready? THE INSANE PEOPLE!

Margerystar: Of course. I would have never believed that our ONLY ENEMIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD stole it. I thought HELLOKITTY did it!!! >.>

Jewelheart: YOU DID?!?!?! O.O

Margerystar: NO.

Jewelheart: But you said—

Margerystar: Be quiet, Thing. Everyone! It has been discovered that the Insane People stole the Protection Stone. We must go and get it back! Who's with me?!

(most) Cats of PickleClan: WE ARE!

Hellokitty: Wait, like, we're, like, seriously going to fight them? I could, like, BREAK A CLAW!!!!

Margerystar: You could've broke a claw by finding that the Stone was gone and running around and screaming!

Hellokitty: *gasp* OH MY GOSH! *checks paws to see if claws are broken*

Sunfrost: *facepaw* Great StarClan, I'm surrounded by idiots...

Margerystar: Back to the point, who's going to fight for our freedom? For our kits? For their kits? FOR PICKLECLAN'S FUTURE?!?!?!

(most) Cats of PickleClan: WE WILL!

Margerystar: We will fight them on the beaches, on the—

Pear: Uh, Margerystar?

Margerystar: What?

Pear: We don't have any beaches.

Margerystar: Oh, right. Well, we'll just...fight them! FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*all PickleClan cats except Hellokitty, Cheesynurse, Babykit, Sourkit, and Poutingkit charge wildly out of camp*

Hellokitty: They're, like, crazy! Don't they, like, realize what they could, like, DO to themselves?! UGH! *leaves to go primp herself*

Poutingkit: I wanna go fight too!

Cheesynurse: But Poutingkit, you can't!

Poutingkit: Why not?!

Cheesynurse: Because you're too young. Now, why don't we go to Bernie's Farm instead?

Babykit: YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Sourkit: /)_- This is going to be so. Much. Fun.

And there we have it! Will Margerystar and her warriors get back the Protection Stone, or will they be destroyed by the Insane People? Will Sourkit make it through the trip to Bernie's Farm? Find out, in the next chapter of the Tale of PickleClan.
