Here is the script for the Midnight Animation I'll be doing. If you want to try out for one of the cats, see my blog. If you want to tryout for a cat, use the words that they say from here.

Thanks

Script
''(It is late Greenleaf in StarClan. It is Night, there is also no moon, but all the stars shone down and lit up the forest. BLUESTAR slips between the trees and stops infront of a shallow hollow. At the bottom a pool reflects the starshine, the wind battering her fur, BLUESTAR climbs down the hollow and sits on a rock jutting out over the pool. Cats slip down to the pool and look at BLUETSAR expectantly. No one is speaking. BLUESTAR stands up.) ''

BLUESTAR: (Formal) “A new prophecy has come. A doom that will change everything that has been foretold in the stars,”

''(The cats glance at each other and shuffle around. OAKHEART bows his head.) ''

OAKHEART: (Strong but submissive) “I have seen this to. There will be doubt, and a great change.”

''(OAKHEART looks up at BLUESTAR and their eyes meet.) ''

BLUESTAR: (Softly) “Darkness, air, water, and sky will come together and shake the forest to its roots. Nothing will be as it is now, nor as it has been before,”

RUNNINGNOSE: (From the back of the crowd) “A great storm is coming!”

''(The word ‘storm’ is taken up, passed around and repeated until it echoes around the hollow. NIGHTSTAR stands up and pads forward until the water laps at his paws.) ''

NIGHTSTAR: (Hopeful but pleading) “Can nothing change what is about to happen? Not even the courage and spirit of the greatest warrior?”

''(BLUESTAR gives NIGHTSTAR a kind look but her eyes are sad) ''

BLUESTAR: (Defeated) “The doom will come. But if the Clans meet it like warriors, they may survive.”

''(BLUESTAR looks around the hollow and meets the gazes of many cats. The cats at the back crane there, trying to find out what has happened.) ''

BLUESTAR: (Sigh and then her voice grows stronger) “You have seen what must befall. And you know what must be done. Four cats must be chosen to hold the fate of their Clans in their paws. Are you ready tom make your choices before all of StarClan?”

''(BLUESTAR again gazes around that cats and they nod and agree with her. There are lots of sad cheers. The surface of the pool shimmers and one or two cats look down at it. OAKHEART stands up and looks at CROOKEDSTAR.) ''

OAKHEART: (Still looking at Crookedstar) “I will begin. Crookedstar, do I have permission to speak for RiverClan?”

''(CROOKEDSTAR bows his head) ''

CROOKEDSTAR: (Authority) “Yes, I give my permission,”

''(OAKHEART nods his thanks takes a deep breath and continues.) ''

OAKHEART: (Confident) “Then I invite you all to see and approve my choice.”

''(FEATHERTAIL’S image appears on the water’s surface. Oakheart looks at the water proudly and SILVERSTREAM, who is sitting halfway up, draws herself up to her full height. BLUESTAR narrows her eyes.) ''

BLUESTAR: (Half pleased, half incredulous) “That one? Are you sure, Oakheart?”

''(OAKHEART’s tail twitches) ''

OAKHEART: (Amused) “I thought that choice would please you. Do you not think she was well mentored?”

''(BLUESTAR frowns and SILVERSTREAM waits for her daughter’s approval) ''

BLUESTAR: (Annoyed) “She was excellently mentored.”

''(BLUESTAR narrows her eyes and her fur fluffs up.) ''

BLUESTAR: (Agreeing) “Do StarClan agree?”

''(A murmur of approval rises up and OAKHEART dips his head. SILVERSTREAM smiles and sits back down) ''

NIGHTSTAR: (Tired sounding) “Here is my choice. See and approve it.”

''(TAWNYPELT appears on the water and NIGHTSTAR nods approvingly at his own choice. BLUESTAR gazes down at the shape sadly and her eyes show images of an apprentice sneaking through the woods with a tabby apprentice.) ''

BLUESTAR: (Wistfully) “She has courage and strength,”

''(A black, battle scarred muzzle raises from near OAKHEART) ''

YELLOWFANG: (Honestly) “But Nightstar- does she have loyalty?”

''(NIGHTSTAR’s neck fur bristles and he digs his claws into the soft soil. He turns to face YELLOWFANG.) ''

NIGHTSTAR: (Angry) “Are you calling her disloyal?”

''(YELLOWFANG nods and narrows her eyes) ''

YELLOWFANG: (Losing patience) “I do, there’s reason for it! She was not born in ShadowClan was she?”

''(All of the gathering cats begin to argue about the cat. BLUESTAR looks from NIGHTSTAR to YELLOWFANG and flicks her tail for silence) ''

BLUESTAR: (Calmly) “Then that would make her a good choice.” (Pauses) “If the Clans cannot work together now, they will all be destroyed. Maybe it will take cats with a paw in two Clans to understand what has to be done.”

''(BLUESTAR gives YELLOWFANG a hard stare) ''

BLUESTAR: (Still angry at her friends fighting) “Does StarClan approve?”

''(The cats pause and glance at each other. Then RUNNINGNOSE cheers and everyone follows his lead. Another sleek black cat stands up, with the help of STONEFUR, and hobbles to the water’s edge. He had a twisted foot and he lent against NIGHTSTAR before speaking) ''

DEADFOOT: (Rasping and tired) “My turn I think. See and approve my choice!”

''(Cats strain to see CROWPAW’s image appear on the pool surface. HEATHERSTAR narrows her eyes and gives Deadfoot a flick over the ear with her tail. OAKHEART sighs) ''

OAKHEART: (Exasperated) “''What? ''That one? That’s an apprentice Deadfoot!”

DEADFOOT: (Dryly) “I noticed that, thank you, Oakheart.”

''(STONEFUR lifts his head nervously.) ''

STONEFUR: (Worriedly) “You can’t send an apprentice into danger such as this,”

''(DEADFOOT flicks his tail and glares at STONEFUR, angry) ''

DEADFOOT: (Growing very angry) “Apprentice he may be, but he has the courage and skill to match many warriors. One day he might make a fine leader for WindClan!”

''(BLUESTAR gives DEADFOOT a sympathetic look) ''

BLUESTAR: (Softly) “One day is not now, Deadfoot, and the qualities of a leader are not necessarily those that the Clan’s need to save them now. Do you wish to make another choice?”

''(DEADFOOT hisses and lashes his tail. HEATHERSTAR runs her own tail along DEADFOOT’s flank. He ignores her) ''

DEADFOOT: (Very angry) “This is my choice. Do you- or any other cat- dare to say he is not worthy?”

''(DEADFOOT glares round the circle and then at BLUESTAR) ''

BLUESTAR: (Keeping calm) “What do you say? Do StarClan approve? Remember that every Clan will be lost if one of our chosen cats should weaken or fail”

''(StarClan began to mutter to each other in small groups. They gave uneasy glances at CROWPAW’s image and at DEADFOOT who stood beside the pool, fuming with anger) ''

BLUESTAR: (Still calm) “Does the Clan approve?”

''(The agreement came, low and reluctant. DEADFOOT nodded and lent on HEATHERSTAR as she helped him back to her place. OAKHEART licked BLUESTAR’s ear.) ''

OAKHEART: (Softly) “You have not yet made your choice for ThunderClan, Bluestar.”

''(BLUESTAR smiles at OAKHEART before looking down into the water and puffing out her chest when BRAMBLECLAW appeared on the surface.) ''

BLUESTAR: (Proudly) “No. But now I am ready”

''(OAKHEART laughs and nudges BLUESTAR. His jaws are open in laughter) ''

OAKHEART: (Amused) “That one? Bluestar, you will never cease to surprise me.”

''(BLUESTAR lashes her tail and pulls away from OAKHEART) ''

BLUESTAR: (Angry) “Why? He is a noble young cat, fit for the challenges this prophecy will bring.”

''(OAKHEART’s ear twitches) ''

OAKHEART: (Smoothly) “Did I say he was not?”

''(BLUESTAR looks deep into OAKHEART’s eyes and does not look at the cats when she asks) ''

BLUESTAR: (Demanding) “Does that Clan approve?”

(The Clan agree loudly and BLUESTAR flicks her tail before glaring at OAKHEART before looking away. OAKHEART shakes his head in affection for his mate. 

BLUESTAR steps forward again and raises her head, calling to the stars and cats) 

BLUESTAR: (Loudly so every cat can hear) “Cats of StarClan! Your choices have been made. Soon the journey must begin, to meet the terrible storm that will be unleashed on the forest. Go to your Clans and make sure each cat is ready!”

''(BLUESTAR pauses and she brings her eyes over all of StarClan) ''

BLUESTAR: (Loudly so every cat can hear) “We can choose a warrior to save each Clan, but beyond that we cannot help them. May the spirits of our warrior ancestors go with these cats, wherever the stars may lead them.”

(She looks up to the stars and the final song begins. Before the Credits etc begin, three stars in the night sky shine and catch BLUESTAR’s attention. She frowns before walking away, her tail intertwined with OAKHEART’s)
