There has been a bit of a problem on this account pertaining to, shall we say… security issues. A hacker came to my account, deleted all my stories, and, worst of all, tried to botch up my entire profile (oh the hours I spent piecing it together! AHH THE PAIN!). They miserably failed, however, and I have managed to recover everything that was deleted before.

Have you guessed it by now? The hacker is me.

This was a rather failed attempt at an April Fool's Day prank, as everyone figured it out immediately. However, I would like to inform you that April Fool's Day in the Clans is not nearly as bad, and actually was quite successful! So enjoy :)

~Special Chapter: April Fool's Day~

Cloudtail was becoming quite a nuisance. Ever since the battle with the Dark Forest and CookieClan cats, he had taken all the credit for winning the war, even though Hollyleaf and Jayfeather had taken an important part in it. Since then, he became the lord of all the Clans, and got his way with everything.

He had demanded tribute from everyone in the Clans, to prove his awesomeness, and the Clan leaders had reluctantly agreed to send it to him. He was using it to repair his van, even though he clearly had enough money to fix it, considering how successful his business was. All of the cats resented his high-and-mighty ways, and the fact that he had taken on a new title: the Lord of Frozen Death.

One day, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Cinderheart were discussing ways to get back at him.

"We could boycott his ice-cream," suggested Hollyleaf. "Then he won't make any money."

Cinderheart shook her head. "Not going to work. No one is going to boycott his ice-cream, no matter how much they hate him. We live on the stuff. Besides, we all pay tribute anyways, so he can still get money regardless."

"Boycotts are so boring," added Lionblaze. "We need some real action."

Jayfeather agreed. He was getting bored, sitting around and doing nothing. Ever since what had happened at the battle, Alderkit and Sparkkit were treating him like a hero, always pestering him with their silly questions. He was always called to kitten-sit them. He was ready to do something now.

"Throw some of his own grenades at his face," Lionblaze suggested. "I hear the popsicle sticks work really well."

"That will most certainly NOT do!" shrilled Hollyleaf suddenly, standing right up. "The WARRIOR CODE is clear about that. Rule 999,999,999,999 is: 'Any cat caught throwing ice-cream grenades at a member of the Clans will be subjected to torture in an igloo and subjected to eat mouse-dung ice-cream until they throw-up.'

Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Cinderheart stared at her in dismay. "You didn't tell us that," said Lionblaze.

"I put it in myself," said Hollyleaf crisply. "The rule stays."

"Well, there's only one alternative," said Cinderheart. "Jayfeather, do you remember the screen-shots of the fanfictions that you took?"

"I sure do," said Jayfeather, a sudden grin going to his face. "Right here." He took out his phone and showed it to the others. "I can send these to him. He'll get such a shock that he'll never demand tribute again."

"Hang on a minute!" cried Hollyleaf. "Another violation to the WARRIOR CODE! Rule 1,000,000,000,000 is: 'Any cat caught distributing indecent images, such as fox-dung, Oreo cookies, Android phones, oh yeah, and fanfiction, will be sent to the igloo and tortured for ten months straight!"

"Hollyleaf, you spoil-sport!" cried Lionblaze. "This would be so much fun to do. If you report us to the law, the perfect chance for revenge will have been ruined!"

Hollyleaf wasn't finished yet, however. "Of course, the rule says only if you get caught," she continued, a malicious gleam tainting her emerald eyes. "And unless you send it in an email or text, which can be easily traced to you, there's no way to get caught!"

"Are you suggesting we break rules?" asked Cinderheart in mock horror.

"I suggest no such thing," answered Hollyleaf. "Now remember, this conversation never happened! If you three can work something out, you shall be the heroes, not Cloudtail!"

She left three excited cats with very mischievous plans.

"Now what shall we do?" asked Cinderheart.

"I got it," said Jayfeather. "We just need to sneak into Cloudtail's home and hack his computer."

"That shouldn't be much a problem, he's always at the Ice-Creamería anyways," replied Lionblaze. "Let's go."

They went to the car. Lionblaze fired up the engine, driving them to his lordship's house. It was decided that Lionblaze would keep watch outside, while Cinderheart and Jayfeather, who were better with technology, would do their thing.

"What is your plan?" Cinderheart asked Jayfeather as they went into the house. "I hope you've got something good."

"Yes," said Jayfeather. "You just need to insert these photos into his hard drive. I'll deal with his phone." He held up a flash drive.

Cinderheart shook her head and turned on Cloudtail's computer. She hacked into it (the true definition of hacking, not the fake stuff I did this morning). She inserted the photos easily enough, and then even put a particularly horrible one as his desktop wallpaper.

"That'll make him sit up," she grinned, turning off the computer. She then gasped in horror as she saw Jayfeather with Cloudtail's phone. "Jayfeather, what in StarClan's name are you doing?"

Jayfeather was using a software that kept Jayfeather's Mac fully in charge of Cloudtail's iPhone. That meant that Jayfeather could access his files, lock his phone into an app, see what he was doing, or even delete all his storage if he really wanted to. He looked up at Cinderheart.

"I'll remove the software when this is all over," he promised. "This is just to give him a shock. It's what he deserves." He finished the installation process and turned the phone off, then went to the computer. He quickly printed out a QR code and left it conspicuously on the table.

"This is going to be fun," Cinderheart grinned. Then she had a thought. "I say, it's April 1st today. I read something about this day on the World Wide Web. Isn't today supposed to be a day for pranks or something?"

"Is it?" asked Jayfeather.

"Yes," responded Cinderheart. "Though most of the pranks, I've heard, are not really that successful. We'd better make sure ours is!"

"Right," agreed Jayfeather. He then found a step-ladder while Cinderheart got the security-camera. She then climbed up, and attached the camera to the ceiling, careful to obscure it behind a curtain, yet put it in a position where they could see everything in the room.

Suddenly, Jayfeather's phone buzzed, and he received a frantic text from Lionblaze:

Lionblaze: His Lordship is outside right now. You'd better get out of there, or else it'll really be Frozen Death for you both!

Jayfeather's heart took a flip. "We'd better go," he said to Cinderheart. She quickly finished hanging up the camera and leapt off the ladder, putting it back where they found it. The two dashed out, through the back door, and shut it – just seconds before Cloudtail entered his home through the front door.

For a second, he frowned suspiciously, imagining that he heard the sound of the back door slamming shut. Then he decided that he'd ignored it. After all, who would dare come and trespass on his property? Him, the Lord of Frozen Death. No, the Lord of Explosive Frozen Doom. He reckoned he'd better tell Bramblestar that he'd changed his title, so that it could be officially recognized.

Sighing dramatically, he sat down in his office chair. He found his phone on the table and took it out. Normally, he didn't bring it to work, seeing that it interfered with his thousands of ice-cream orders. He unlocked the device, not yet suspecting a thing.

While in the backseat of Lionblaze and Cinderheart's car, Jayfeather was giggling. He could see everything Cloudtail was doing on his Mac. He watched with eagerness as Cloudtail's screen changed. Meanwhile, Cinderheart and Lionblaze were watching the security surveillance on Cinderheart's phone, laughing the entire time. They watched with anticipation as he picked up the QR Code, puzzled.

"He's going to scan it!" said Cinderheart. "Just watch!"

And that's exactly what Cloudtail did, though confused he was. He scanned the code with his phone, and it instantly directed him to a website. His eyes bugged out as he saw that it was a website with screenshots of… fanfictions. He tried to click the home button, but Jayfeather had already enabled single-app mode, which prevented him from leaving the Qrafter app. Cursing, Cloudtail sat down, his eyes glued to the screen in a sort of horrid fascination.

"This is particularly bad," he gasped. "Cliché plot, bad grammar, death, and – oh, I thought we put this all behind us! What in the universe is this?" He opened up one story.

"Oh my lord!" he cried. "This one is about me and Brightheart together, doing"… he couldn't even finish the sentence. "One of those horrible lemons!"

Cinderheart, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather were in hysterics as he continued reading. Cloudtail gasped even harder as he saw more horrible stories.

"What is this?" he cried as he opened a story titled 'Ivydawn's Destiny'. "What kind of a prophecy is this? 'The ivy will save the Clans from the thorns'? Wow, I have no idea who's going to do that!" The heroine of the story, obviously, was Ivydawn, and the villain was a cat with 'thorn' in his or her name.

Cloudtail continued reading, increasingly growing more and more paranoid.

"What's wrong with these names?" he shrieked. "'Hammerpaw'? 'Umbrellafan'? 'Cupcakecandle'? Cats aren't even supposed to know what those things are!" (Wow, totally disregarding the fact that he owns an ice-cream store, which is the last thing you'd expect a cat to have).

"Hmm… I'll check the romance fic photos. Maybe the pairings will be decent."

"You bet they are," cried Lionblaze, causing Jayfeather and Cinderheart to roar with laughter.

"Hm… Cloudtail x Brightheart! Of course! What you'd expect!" Cloudtail beamed around. Then he frowned.

"Cloudtail x Daisy? I was drunk on ice-cream shakes, okay? Can we forget about that?" His wife, Brightheart, wasn't too happy about what had happened before with him and Daisy.

"Cloudtail x Lostface – who is that? And why would I want to date a she-cat with a lost face?"

"Lostface is Brightheart, moron," Cinderheart shouted. "And I am so telling her you said that."

Cloudtail fortunately couldn't hear Cinderheart, which was just as well. He was too busy freaking out about the next pairing.

"Cloudtail x … Princess?" Cloudtail shrieked. "She's my mom! That is beyond creepy!" His eyes grew wild. "Cloudtail x Firestar – no, no, and no!"

The three cats in the car were laughing hard at this point. Cinderheart couldn't resist. She took a story that she had written recently, just to make fun of Cloudtail. She quickly airdropped it to Cloudtail.

Cloudtail frowned as he saw the airdrop appear on his screen. Before he could decide, Jayfeather clicked 'Accept' on his Mac. Cloudtail's eyes grew wide with horror as he saw the picture in detail. "Cloudtail x Stargleam? NUUUUUUU!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!" He ran to the window and actually threw up.

"This is so horrible," gasped Cloudtail. "I'm going to check my favorability ratings to see how many people like my ice-cream." Normally, everyone loved Cloudtail's ice-cream, so his ratings were always extremely high. It was often a morale boost that Cloudtail looked at when he was feeling really down. He turned on his computer, and gasped.

"They're EVERYWHERE!111111111111!1!11!11111!" he screamed, seeing the thousands of photos of fanfictions on his desktop. "I – CAN'T – TAKE – IT – ANYMORE!"

And then Cloudtail promptly fainted. Laughing, Lionblaze called Hollyleaf to tell her that their plan had been a success. Jayfeather began to dismantle the software from his Mac, but not before sending a message on Cloudtail's iPhone, telling the Clan leaders that the lord was renouncing his title, and the tribute payments were off.

Happy April Fool's, everyone.
