"Forest monsters?" Rae asked.

Trinity's whiskers bent forwards and tried to remember to name Bobo had used.
"I think you may know them as Clan cats?" commented a helpful voice behind them that made the she-cat jump.
"Augsbery!" she exclaimed, turning around to barrel into the tom, then snuggled into his tangled grey fur.

Bobo snorted. "Those aren't no monsters! Some of them are complete wimps! Some Kittypets actually join the Clans, and some Clan Cats are so weak they become Kittypets. So, really, it's just a bunch of wimps made up of cats wanting to be Kittypets or just plain Kittypets." Tommy flicked his tail in fustration and hissed at Rae. "Are you so stupid that you actually think you can butt into someone else's conversation?" "Now now," Missy soothed, still afraid of everyone except Trinie and perhaps the newcomer, Augsbery.

"Clan cats? Never heard of 'em," Rae said. "So. Who are these Clan cats?"

Augsbery twitched his ears in annoyance at Bobo's description. "The Clans, my dear," he replied to Rae, "are groups of feral cats. They're proud creatures, and any number of them would have ripped this young tom's throat out for referring to them as wimps and kittypets."
Trinnie pouted up at her mate. "But I'm a kittypet."
At this, the older tom licked her forehead and rumbled, "They don't like kittypets. But I happen to love a certain one."
Happy with this answer, the she-cat snuggled in deeper, then stared at everyone else from her placement. She looked quite content.

Bobo rolled his eyes. "I bet this wimp," he meowed, tilting his head towards Augsbery,"has probably never come across a Clan Cat. I, for a matter of fact, have met EVERY SINGLE CLAN LEADER! Stuff your face with THAT!"
Missy sighed. "You never do that with me!" she whispered into Tommy's ear. Tommy looked into her eyes and meowed,"But you know that I love you."

(Lawlz. I love Missy's reaction. XD)
Augsbery blinked, unimpressed, at Bobo, but Trinnie's expression was another story. She stare up and stared at Bobo with wide, innocent eyes. "Really?!" she whispered, as if it were a secret, and the tom hadn't said it loudly and proudly. "Whatt're they like?"

"Yeah, Bobo, what're these Clan leaders like?" Rae asked.

Bobo puffed. "They act like kings, though I suppose they are. Just because they have more lives than the rest of us, they think they're all mighty and powerful. They claim it to be their forest, though the only thing that comes to that defense is their stinky scent everywhere."

She was about the comment, but her tongue stumbled as another thing entered her thought. "Wait," mumbled Trinnie. "They have more than one life?"
"Surely I've told you that," commented Augsbery, suspiciously glaring at Bobo. So far, everything he had said was true, except his over-opinionated reaction to the Clans...Had he really met them? Or were these stories he'd heard from his mother?

"Uh, yea-ah! When they become the leader of their Clan, they go sleep by this rock or something, and wake up with the name of star at the end of their name and 9 lives. So, if I was to be a Clan leader, my name would be Bobostar, and I would have 9 lives. Your name would be Trinniestar, and his name would be Augsberystar." Bobo pondered over the thought for a moment. "Or, perhaps, since they don't really want to edmit that their Clans are made up of Kittypets, they change the Kittypets' names to stuff like Leafeye and Grasstail. That way they don't sound like names a human would think up. So, perhaps your name would be..." He looked at Trinne. "Lilacheart and your name would be.." He looked at Augsbery. "Stubbornfoot." Bobo grinned to himself. "Then, if you'd become leaders, you would be Lilacstar, and he would be Stubbornstar."

Innocently accepting Bobo's flattery with a grin, while Augsbery glared at the other tom behind her, Trinnie stepped forward and said, "Wow! I thought you were a lying dolt, but now I see you're really nice!"
(Clumsy, gentle payback she doesn't realize is happening...Ah luff yous, Trinnie...)

Rae kept her expression coolly calm. "So these leaders are in charge of the whole forest? Wow, that's impressive. They couldn't act like kings though. Why would anyone want a leader that acts like he's the best and doesn't care about you?" She paused, and then added, "These Clans actually sound kind of cool. They must be powerful cats, ruling a whole forest, just..." Rae stopped and thought. "How many leaders did you say there were?"

"Well, there's TreeClan, WaterClan, and then this grassy, windy Clan, and then there's this Clan will all sorts of hills. So, I think there's just four. But hey, We're the leaders of THIS!" Bobo stood on his hind legs, his front legs outstretched. Knowing that wasn't something to be very proud of, since the Twoleg Place was pretty much a dump, he came back to all four paws.
"Sounds stupid to me," Tommy meowed. "Why go out there just to freeze and starve during Leafbare?" He licked his paw.
"I'd rather stay here," Missy mewed. Bending into Tommy's ear, she mewed,"I'm still not very happy with you."

"We aren't the leaders of this," Rae said. "The housefolk are. Some cats might last awhile without them, but food would run out and we'd have to leave. We might be smarter than the Twolegs, but they're the ones who keep the balance just right in this town. If all the kittypets got no food, then we'd all be starving." Rae paused, and then added smugly, "But I'd bet that if the housefolk had never come here, we'd all be doing pretty well."

Augsbery grinned at Rae. "You're a very smart kittypet, aren't you?"
Twitching her ears with annoyance, though she knew it to be true, Trinnie walked off to sit by Missy. "Hey! What you you think of thisClan business?" Her tongue stumbled over the unfamiliar word, but was fairly certain she got it right.

Rae shrugged. "Smarter than Bobo over there, for certain. He doesn't think about what he says, or at least he hasn't thought about anything he's ever said to me."
Lorelei was walking in the park, when she saw a large group of cats. She was planning on avoiding them, when she heard the word Clans. She blinked. Could these cats know her brother? Slowly, she walked up and stood, uncomfortable, behind a she-cat. "Um.. excuse me?" Lorelei said softly. "Are you... uh... talking about the Clans?"

"OH MY G*D! How dare you say that when you YOURSELF are just about as smart as that pole over there! And still you're stupid, because I meant that we are the KINGS! Do you see US feeding and waiting on THEM?! THEY feed, brush, and give US things!" Bobo, paused, then added,"And if there WERE no Twolegs, then we could just hunt for our food. Whoever is stupid enough not to know or at least learn how, like yourself, then, well, they're just STUPID!"
"Wait, I'm confused," Tommy meowed.
Missy scooted away quickly, then replied,"I thought I just told you." She silently thought,Gosh, this is a moron!

Trinity, not finding the friend in Missy as she had thought she would, turned to the newcomer. "Hi! Yeah, we're discussing them. Did you know that Bobo-" here, she gestured at the tom with her tail, "-has actually seen them?"
Augsbery felt his annoyance rise with Bobo with every word that came out of his mouth. He's almost as bad as Dante...

Missy pawed Tommy. "Do you want to get going?" Tommy smiled, then raised his voice. "Sure. This is starting to turn into a real love fest." Missy, unimpressed, mewed,"Bye Trinne." She didn't feel like saying goodbye to any of the other cats, for they all seemed too... weird. Tommy looked about. "Bye...uh... Everyone!"
Bobo, sensing madness, meowed,"Does ANYONE, find a problem with THAT?" Feeling a stupid sugar rush, he meowed to himself,I shouldn't have eatten that frosting off the floor! He went charging over to his bench, then did a U-turn back, circling around the cats.
