Episode Five
The scene begins in a shower of glitter pouring from above, cascading down over Clan camp and half submerging its residents.
Pridestride: *from the top of an oak tree with a large bucket* PRIDE MOON IS ALMOST OVERRR! D';
Flagswag: Pridestride, it's pride moon every moon of every season for you. *shifts pelt to match the demisexual flag* Does it really matter?
Pridestride: YES. Because THIS pride moon is the most special. It's the moon where Straightfur finally comes out of the closet.
Straightfur: *from across camp* No, no it isn't!
Pridestride: You know what? I think a suitable way to celebrate the near end of pride moon is to have everyone share their coming out stories!
Flagswag: Uh... but no one ever had to come out in QueerClan... we assume everyone's quee -
Pridestride: - Hush, child! Straightfur, come along.
Straightfur: *longgg sigh* Fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Pridestride: YAY!
Several very gay moments later...
Fluidstream: *speaking to Pridestride and Straightfur* Well, when I was born, Aceface couldn't decide whether I was a tom or she-cat! And that's how I came out as genderfluid.
Straightfur: Seriously? So let me get this straight -
Pridestride: *snickers* Heheh..."straight"... heheheh. *snorts*
Straightfur: -_- Nevermind. I'll just pretend his/her/their story makes sense to me.
Fluidstream: It's "her" today, by the way.
Straightfur: Her, then.
Fluidstream: Wait, no... they. No, he! Ugh, I can't figure it out! *stomps away, grumbling*
Pridestride: Okayyyy, let's go talk to Fluidstream's mate, Pansand! Whee! *bounces off with a very bored, yet somewhat amused looking Straightfur trailing behind*
The two cats meet up with Pansand, who is busy grooming his tail in the shade of an oak tree. He looks up as they approach.
Pansand: 'Ello.
Pridestride: *leaning backwards to look at the very large, buff tom* Yooo wanna tell Straightfur how you came out as pan?
Pansand: *in a deep, gruff voice* I like cats regardless of gender...
Straightfur: *nervously avoids Pansand's gaze* ...
Pansand: ... but I like Fluidstream the best.
Pridestride: But, how did you come out to the clan?
Pansand: I came out of my mother, that's how.
Gayday: *pops out from behind the tree* HAH! That's a good one, Pansand! *attempts to give Pansand a high paw*
Pansand: *stares at Gayday's paw*
Gayday: High paw? No? Okay... *goes back behind the tree*
Straightfur: I still don't get what this is for, though. If everyone knew what they were when they were born, then wouldn't I know what I am?
Gayday: Dude, that's deep. *pads away to go flirt with Queerdeer*
Pridestride: Welp, I tried. Good luck, youngster. *pats Straightfur with his tail and retires to the elders' den*
Straightfur: This has been a weird day... *pauses* come to think of it, every day here is weird.
Pansand: Tell me about it, kid.
