Bill Nye pads through a small cave, quivering slightly from the coldness. He pauses, licking his paw and running it over his head, smoothing a tuft of fur.

Bill Nye: *shivers.* It's cold in here. I wonder if it has something to do with the seasons. *mysterious music starts playing in the background.*

Bill Nye: *leaps up in surprise.* Where's that coming from?

Creepy Voice From Above: Sorry... *the music stops.*

Bill Nye: *leaps up again.* What was that?!?

Creepy Voice From Above: I said sorry.

Bill Nye: Who are you?

Creepy Voice From Above: I'm a Creepy Voice From Above, obviously.

Bill Nye: No, but who are you? Are you a cat?

Creepy Voice From Above: *sighs reluctantly and pads out from behind a wall of the cave.* Hi there. I'm Creepyvoicefromabovepaw.

Bill Nye: Well nice to meet you, Creepyvoicefromabovepaw. I'm Bill Nye, and I'm looking to learn all about science! What Clan do you hail from?

Creepyvoicefromabovepaw: I'm from SoundClan... I can take you for a visit, if you'd like.

Bill Nye: That would be great!

Creepyvoicefromabovepaw and Bill Nye: *pad deeper into the cave.*

Bill Nye: *says as he rounds a corner.* It's dark in here.

Creepyvoicefromabovepaw: Yes. We settled down here because of the echoes.... Echostar quite likes the auditory.

Echostar: *pokes her head from around the corner.* I heard my name?

Bill Nye: Hi there!

Echostar: Welcome to EchoClan... EchoClan... EchoClan... EchoClan.

Bill Nye: *eyes widen.* What was that?

Echostar: That's an echo! The echoes here are created when the sound waves created by my voice bounce off the walls and come back into your ears! There are always echoes when sound is created, but we usually can't here them.

Echolocationkit: *pokes his head out from underneath Echostar.* Yeah, some animals use echolocation to find things! They make sounds that us cats can't hear, and they bounce off things and the animals can make a picture of the area in their heads. Bats and dolphins and some birds can use echolocation.

Bill Nye: That's amazing...

Echostar: Do you hear that?

Faint Voice: *quietly rings in the distance.*

Bill Nye: Yeah, but I can't understand what's being said...

Echostar: It's my warriors! They're telling me that SoundwaveClan is trespassing. Come on, we have to help them out!

Echostar runs off with Creepyvoicefromabovepaw following her; they make their wave down the cave, toward where SoundwaveClan was trespassing.
