Hollypaw opened her eyes. Stretching, she got out of her mossy bed, and prickled her ears.

She heard knocking on her door. Turning, she opened up the door and saw Cinderpaw standing there. Her eyes were narrowed, and she flicked her ears. Pocketing her Lionpaw photo, Cinderpaw turned and faced her with a sly grin.

"What is it, Cinderpaw?" Hollypaw asked. It was twelve days, thirty-five minuets, and and twelve point five seconds until graduation. It seemed odd that Cinderpaw would visit her, epically at seven thirty in the morning.

Cinderpaw took a step aside, and, with a great shock, Hollypaw saw Willowpaw and Minnowpaw standing there. "We are skipping school and going to the mall," Willowpaw said.

"Yeah, the famous mouseball player, Mudclaw, is going to be there! Signing autographs!" screamed Minnowpaw suddenly.

"Shhhh!" whispered Cinderpaw, and she led way towards Hollypaw's window. They jumped on the thick willow branch that led beside her window, and they slid down the tree trunk.

They raced towards the mall. Hollypaw didn't like skipping school—it felt wrong, like a warrior flirting with an elder, or when a bird seems to fancy a mouse, though Hollypaw had only heard stories about that. She shuddered and suddenly fell.

Her face hit the concrete. "OW! SON OF A BIRD!" screamed Hollypaw.

Cinderpaw laughed, and suddenly Mudclaw walked up to them. He signed their foreheads randomly, and walked towards Victoria's Secret randomly.

Hollypaw stared after him. They were going to have graduation soon, in a couple of days.


Sorry if not as funny...
