Chapter Two

The loud humming noise sounded again before shooting Yellowfang out of the broken time machine. She stood blearily again, this time in some 1500's European city.

Yellowfang: Astro! Your dumb time machine sent me somewhere again! *crickets chirping* Astro?

Wikipedia: *appears out of nowhere* Hello, child.

Yellowfang: *seethes* Child? CHILD?! YOU DARE CALL ME A CHILD YOU DISRESPECTING PEASANT?! I'VE BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS! YOU'RE THE CHILD AS I SEE IT!

Wikipedia: Fine, you elder. Calm down. Astro sent me to help you.

Yellowfang: *scoffs* Astro sent a meek little cat like you to help me? You've got to be joking!

Wikipedia: I am not joking.

Yellowfang: *huffs* Fine. If you're here to help, then get me back to StarClan.

Wikipedia: *shuffles feet awkwardly* I'm afraid it's impossible for you to go back. Unless--

Yellowfang: What? Unless what?

Wikipedia: Unless the time machine decides to take you back to StarClan. But it might be chapters before that happens.

Yellowfang: Woah, dude. It's only the second chapter. Let's not break the fourth wall just yet.

Wikipedia: Ugh, fine.

Yellowfang: *taps foot impatiently* So if you're here to help me, then help me!

Wikipedia: Well, my name is Wikipedia. I know all. That's why Astro told me to find you and tell you what's going on.

Yellowfang: Then what's going on?

Wikipedia: You've been sent back to the 1500's in England. Currently, William Shakespeare is writing something.

Yellowfang: William who-now?

Wikipedia: Shakespeare.

Yellowfang: Does he shake spears?

Wikipedia: No. He's a play writer.

Yellowfang: Oh. That's boring.

Wikipedia: Actually, his works consist of a lot of death.

Yellowfang: *brightens up* Death? I love reading about death! Can we see him work?

Wikipedia: Sure. Follow me.

Yellowfang follows Wikipedia through the winding alleyways of London. They finally reach a house with someone inside speaking in incoherent muttering.

William Shakespeare: Oh, I has't finally did wish to writeth something comical!

Yellowfang: Hm?

Wikipedia: He is writing his first comedy play.

Yellowfang: And what would that be?

Wikipedia: *slight humming and buzzing noise* Why, Comedy of Errors, of course. Published in the early 1590s, it was not taken to the stage—

Yellowfang: Alright, alright! I don't care! How do we get in?

Wikipedia: Er, I suppose we could peek in through the window . . . ?

The two cats carefully climb up a leafy vine toward a window.

Wikipedia: Your tail is in my face! Ugh! Why are you so fluffy?

Yellowfang: I hate you.

They reach the window, and Yellowfang eagerly peers in.

Yellowfang: Where's the death? I want DEATH!

Housekeeper: SHOO, YOU NASTY CATS! OUT! OUT! *swats them with a rag*

Yellowfang: Wikipedia! *hastily climbs down the vine* You didn't tell me there'd be a horrible Twoleg who didn't like us!

Wikipedia: You never asked. *clicks tongue*

Yellowfang: Well, this is boring. I don't see any of the death. Can we go now?

Wikipedia: We have to get back to the time mach—

Yellowfang: *rolls her eyes* Let's go then!

They pad down the street until reaching the time machine.

Yellowfang: So am I stuck with you, or. . . *trails off*

Wikipedia: We'll have—

Before Wikipedia can finish, they are sucked into the swirling vortex of blue.
