*Dewpaw smiles and her long tail flickers in excitement.* Aye, and it seems we might just be the only fully present clan here!
*Whisperfur turns to silvertail* That's ok, but we're all doing fine. *She says with a smile.*

**Rowanstar's paws fairly flew over the ground as she ran towards Fourtrees for the Gathering. I'm late! How could I be late? Just calm down, Rowan. You'll be just fine... As the tortoiseshell leader neared the clearing of Fourtrees, she detected the strong scents of RiverClan and ShadowClan. A wave of relief washed over her. Good, at least we're not the last to arrive. ThunderClan's still absent.
Padding into the clearing, the lithe WindClan cat moved swiftly to Icestar and Snowstar, nodding her head in greeting.** Icestar, Snowstar. I find you and your clans well? **Rowanstar sat down and began washing her paw as if nothing had happened.**
**Twingetail padded serenly into Fourtrees after his leader, his thin tabby pelt rippling with his stringy but strong muscles. The warrior viewed the cats in the clearing with an air of peacefulness. One night of peace in the Forest each moon... it doesn't seem enough. Suppressing a sigh, the tabby padded towards Whisperfur, the RiverClan deputy. He nodded respectfully as he approached, then spoke.** Whisperfur. I don't believe we've met. I'm Twingetail, warrior of ShadowClan.
**Battlepaw tumbled into the clearing after Twingetail, tripping over his own paws the entire way. He landed on the floor of Fourtrees near one of the great oaks with a thud. Scrambling to his feet, the young apprentice licked his chest to calm himself down, before padding confidently into the main group of cats, his tail and head held confidently high.**

**A spotted she-cat enters the clearing after Rowanstar. Her amber eyes gaze aound at the cats form RiverClan and ShadowClan. Dawheart shakes her head. ThunderClan is late, again. The WindClan medicine cat pads after her leader and nods respectfully to Icestar and Snowstar.** Good evening, Icestar, Snowstar. I hope your clans are faring well.
**Sablepaw trots into the clearing after Twingetail and Battlepaw. As she passes Battlepaw, the dark brown she-cat smiles slightly. Her eyes follow Twingetail and and notice that he's talking to a RiverClan warrior, apparently named Whisperfur. Sablepaw approaches the duo shyly and sits a short distance away, grooming her fur nervously.**

*Out from her side of Fourtrees, a light ginger she cat stands. The figure is silhouetted against the moonlight, giving her a more prominent outline. Beneath her feeling of normality, however, if one was to look close enough, they would discover some many things that point out her mood; the drooping tail, her bowed head, how her shoulders slack slightly. The tail gives a weak flick, and she bounds down the slope.*

*Torclaw follows her new leader, proud and happy. Her best friend has been made leader of ThunderClan...but that still didn't change them being late for some reason. The black she-cat stops by Twingetail and Whisperfur, smiling.* Hello all!
* Kempfur bounds down the slope after Rowanstar, not at all bothered by their lateness. He watches from his spot near Great Rock as ThunderClan comes.* Skystar is still absent...*He mutters to himself.*
Couldn't be better, Rownstar.* Snowstar answers, a half-smile on her lips. She flicks her tail as ThunderCLan comes, the last ones, as usual.*

*Goldenpaw, determined to make some new friends, dips her head respectfully to Twingetail as she retreats from her mentor and friend's reassuring company. She lifts up her tail and her head, padding toward Sablepaw. The golden she-cat sits down on her haunches, mewing cheerfully. She parted her jaws as she spoke and noticed that this was a ShadowClan cat, apprentice, by the size of her.* Hello, I'm Goldenpaw of RiverClan, what's your name? *Her eyes flick curiously at the cat in front of her, to the other ShadowClan apprentice she saw, Battlepaw.*

**Lionclaw bounds into Fourtrees after Squirrelstar. Pride swells in her chest as she gazes at her friend and new leader of ThunderClan. Looking around, she spots Rowanstar, Icestar, and Snowstar speaking together. Nearby, she spots the RiverClan deputy, Whisperfur, and a ShadowClan warrior speaking together. Twingetail, or something like that. She also notes the presence of two new ShadowClan apprentices. One of them, a dark brown she-cat, is speaking to the RiverClan apprentice Goldenpaw. She notices a spotted figure stand and walk towards her. She smells of WindClan, and Lionclaw recognizes her to be Dawnpaw. She dips her head.** Greetings, Dawnpaw. How are things in WindClan?
**Dawnheart smiles warmly at Lionclaw.** Hello, Lionclaw. Actually, it's Dawnheart now. I was made WindClan's Medicine cat.
**Lionclaw smiles in return.** That's wonderful news, Dawnheart.
**Sablepaw looks up at Goldenpaw. She does, indeed, smell like RiverClan, and she looks to be about Sablepaw's own age. Sablepaw smiles.** I'm Sablepaw, apprentice of ShadowClan. It's nice to meet you, Goldenpaw. Is this your first Gathering? It's my first one. **She looks around nervously at the cats from other clans.**

*Goldenpaw shakes her head.* No, actually, Sablepaw, this is my third Gathering, but they still excite me all the same. *She mews gently, hoping to ease some of the apprentice's nervousness.*

**Dawnheart smiles.** Thank-you, Lionclaw. It means a lot to me. You know, suddenly having these new responsibilities to my clan.
**Lionclaw nods.** I understand that. When I first became a warrior, it was the same for me. Suddenly, I was rushing in and out of camp, doing things to make everyone feel safe, and it made me feel proud that Skystar thought I would be a good warrior. **Her voice trails of sadly.**
**Dawnheart's expression changes quickly to concern.** What's happened?
**Lionclaw shakes her head, as if her thoughts were too painful, even for her.** Skystar went missing. That's why she didn't come to the Gatherings. Then she visited all of ThunderClan in a dream, and told us that she was now hunting with StarClan, and that Squirrelpelt was to be our leader. Actually, she's Squirrelstar now. **A hint of pride for her friend creeps into her voice.**
**Comforted by Goldenpaw's tone, Sablepaw relaxes a little.** Wow. This is your third? I can't wait until I come to my first Gathering as a warrior. **She stares off in a happy daydream.**

*Goldenpaw lets out a mrrow of laughter. Then she mews encouragingly.* Train hard and Snowstar will make you a warrior in no time. *She promises her fellow apprentice.*

* Winterpaw trots up to Dewpaw and sits, licking her grey shoulder.* I'm a bit nervous.* She mews quietly. She watches Dawnheart and Lionclaw talk and decides to join them, all nervousness forgotten.* I'll see you guys later.* She bounds over to the two warriors and smiles.* Hi! I'm Winterpaw of RiverClan; who're you?* She sniffs a little and determines that one of WindClan and the other ThunderClan. But...only 3 have their scent. Where are the rest of them?*

*Buck up, Squirrelstar thinks to herself. Your friends are proud of you; you should be, too! The ginger ThunderClan leader trots up to the other leaders looking slightly more cheerful, but now that much.*
*From behind Battlepaw comes a lanky dark brown tabby tom. His fur smells strongly of many herbs; but that's to be expected, since he is the ShadowClan medicine cat! He slows down his pace and trots over to where Lionclaw and Dawnheart are talking. He barely picks up the last part about Skystar's disappearance.* Skystar? Gone? How many patrols did you send out, looking for her? *Stickfur sits on his rump next to the two warriors and looks at the ThunderClan cat questioningly.*

**Dawnheart smiles down at Winterpaw.** Hello, Winterpaw. I am Dawnheart, WindClan's medicine cat, and this is Lionclaw of ThunderClan. **The spotted she-cat tilts her head towards the tawny ThunderClan warrior.**
**Lionclaw looks mournfully at Stickfur.** We looked and looked, but we never found any trace of her. She came to all of ThunderClan in our dreams and told us that she had gone to hunt with StarClan, and that Squirrelpelt, now Squirrelstar was to be our new leader. **She gazes sadly down at her footpaws.**
**Sablepaw purrs happily.** Thanks, Goldenpaw. I hope sure hope I get promoted soon. I wonder what my warrior name will be? Sableheart? Sableclaw? Sablepelt? **The dark apprentice goes off into thinking of other likely names.**
