Gathering Fanfiction - Fireworks "I feel like something important should happen today.” I sighed. Streampaw glanced at me, looking confused. “What do you mean? It’s just another day.” Iceflower nodded. “Maybe we should go hunting in a different spot today?” I shrug. “I guess.” “Let’s get Gigglepaw, Wollowpaw, and Foxpaw!” Streampaw exclaimed, pointing to the four friends standing nearby. “It’ll be an apprentice adventure!” “What’s an apprentice adventure?” Sundance asked from behind, making the four apprentices jump. “We’re just going hunting in a different spot,” I explain quickly. Sundance smiles. “Okay, Wavepaw. Stay safe.” “We will!” I promise. Streampaw nudges me. “C’mon, let’s go get Lupinepaw and Goldenpaw!” I glance over to see Iceflower talking to Foxpaw, Gigglepaw, and Wollowpaw. “Sure.” We pad over to the two she-cats and explain the plan to them. //-// In no time, we have an apprentice ‘’army’’. I never expected ‘’that’’ many cats would want to go! But here they were. “When are we going?” Icestorm complains, pacing. “Soon,” Fernpaw promises. Stormy Sea rolls his eyes. “Looks like ‘’never’’.” Airwave snorts. “Be patient!” “We’re just waiting until Owlwater, Mapleheart, and Eagleclaw come to switch out for Frostflower, Thistlepool, and Sunnystripe,” I promise anxiously. Cypresspaw rolls her eyes. “Let’s get to the nursery now. They’re almost done.” Appledapple shrugs and the large group of apprentices quietly moves to the nursery. I peer inside. I can see Maplekit, Rainbowkit, Stoatkit, Dawnkit, and Flowerkit sleeping, not in their respective nests, but in a huge kit-pile. I can barely hold back my purr of laughter. I see Emberpaw double over in silent laughter and Gladepaw look away, grinning. I flick my tail. “Come on,” I whisper. We move to the warriors’ den. I can see a curious few apprentices, including Geckopaw, Lupinepaw, and Foxshade peering inside. I join them. Russetfeather snores in a nest quite near us, while Birchfoot, her former apprentice, is curled up nearly a mouse-tail away from my forepaw. Jetclaw rolls over and almost sees us. We rush away into the dark. //-// As soon as we’re out of camp, we’re suddenly a lot happier. We rush though the peaceful midnight forest, breaking the silence with our happy shouts and meows. Goldenpaw dances. Fernpaw does a penguin waddle. Rainpaw swings on a branch. I lay down by my brother, Icepaw, and watch Wollowpaw and Gigglepaw play tic-tac-toe in the dirt while Streampaw watches. Cypresspaw, Fernpaw, Iceflower, and Airwave jump into a small lake. Suddenly, everything seems to go quiet for a second. Coincidentally, nobody was splashing, shouting, jumping, or scratching at the same time. Then it happened. The colors exploded in the sky in bursts of yellow, pink, blue, and purple light. We stare, awestruck. “The fourth of July,” Foxshadow whispers. “Fireworks!” I grin! “Fireworks! Fireworks!” And in the end, it did end up to be a special day.
