Rainlight noticed Dawnwhisker's apprentice and slipped out beside her. "Hello," she whispered," I'm Rainlight, medicine cat of FrostClan. You must be Dawnwhisker's apprentice. Is she settling in okay? I know what it's like to join a new Clan."
"Nice to meet a friend of Honeyfrost," Owlspot meowed, smiling politely.
"It's always a surprise to realise my siblings have friends," Coppertail meowed, his voice sulky.
"Jealous I have friends and a mate and you don't?" Owlspot asked.
Coppertail glared at him. "I have friends! Like...um..Lightstream and Duskfur!" He raced away and over to a black and ginger tortoiseshell. "Come over and meet my siblings," he hissed in his ear," I need show Owlspot that I have friends in the Clan." He felt his skin flush with shame as he realised our pathetic his request was.
Owlspot had watched him run off and turned back to Owlfoot and Honeyfrost. "So you're the RainClan deputy? I feel slightly sorry for you. Anyone who has to possibly lead alongside Rockfang is better off being a kittypet."
"Owlfoot will be a great leader," Honeyfrost snarled," He needn't fear Rockfang. He could take her any day. He will have a Clan of loyal and strong warriors. Rockfang will have a Clan full of rogues, kittypets and traitors!"
Owlspot winced. "That was a low blow Honeyfrost," he scolded. Is that how the other Clans really think of us...?

Owlfoot twitched, turning to look at Owlspot, feeling hurt. He then turned to look at Honeyfrost, shocked by her hostility. "Please, you two, don't fight," he mewed, looking between them.

Moonstream looked over at Sootpaw. "Oh yes, if you soak marigold in chervil juice it truly does keep infection away. She turned back to Quietshadow. "Yes, Rockfang can surely inflict horrible wounds, which makes her wonderful in battle. Amazing warrior, somewhat...corrupt leader, though she cares who she's fighting for." The silver she-cat listened as Icestar and Jaystar were whispering angrily at each other. She sighed. "They're at it again. BeachClan and AquaClan used to be such friends.
Doveheart listened to the angry words coming from Jaystar and Icestar. They must be talking of Tigerstripe's kit! Can't they just realize it wasn't their decision?

"Mm-hm. I'm her apprentice," Sootpaw meowed, nodding. "I think she's doing okay. We didn't know what to do when the former medicine cat passed away, you know - I mean, I hadn't even been training for a moon, and I barely knew anything." She looked to the sky. "Then Dawnwhisker... she just showed up out of nowhere, and already knew everything she needed to! Like a gift from StarClan... Getting used to her was strange at first, I guess, but she's really nice - and I'm learning a lot" She paused for a moment, then looked back to Rainlight. "I have RainClan blood, but I wasn't actually born into the Clan. We both came here knowing nothing of Clan life, and... I guess we understand each other in that way. A bond like that's a good thing, right?"
Duskfur was annoyed at first when Coppertail approached him, but smiled at his request. Friend? He'd never really thought of Coppertail as a friend before, but now that he thought about it, they did tend to agree more often than not. "Um. O-Okay. Heh." He glanced around, and padded after him.

"Corrupt isn't quite it," Quietshadow meowed, frowning. "Not quite murderous either. I don't know--she's just the sort of cat you'd like to have on your side. Very intimidating too."
Thunderpaw yawned and rolled over on his back, kicking his hind legs in the air. "This is so boring," he moaned. "Why can't someone else speak up so I can go back home?"
Quailpaw glared at her brother. "Shut up, Thunderpaw," she hissed. "Icestar and Jaystar kinda hate each other's guts right now so they're busy having a stare-off."
"Beacause of you?"
"Yes, becau--you know what, I'd rip your pelt off right now if this wasn't a Gathering."
Thunderpaw smirked. "Who said you can't? Surely you're not listening to this stupid rule."
"Actually, I am," Quailpaw replied coolly.

OOC: I'm not very good with words...'Specially with definitions...
Moonstream nodded. "They need to learn a thing or two from Burntstar's children. Just because their from different Clans doesn't mean they can't be friends...And it was Quailpaw's decision to leave the Clan, not Icestar's or Jaystar's. They need to learn that too." She sighed inwardly. "Yes. I trust Rockfang, but it's scary to think what might happen when Jaystar dies. Hopefully, maybe by then she'll know how to run a Clan."

ooc: Quietshadow's just stating his opinion of her. I don't think there's really any catch-all adjectives for Rockfang anyways x3;
bic: "Some cats just never learn," Quietshadow replied quietly. "Icestar has always been a rather headstrong cat. She wants things done her way and has many natural leadership tendencies. A few cats were mad when her mother made her deputy--it seemed like favoritism at the time--but looking back, she was just doing what was best for BeachClan. And yes, Burntstar's kits maintain a close sibling relationship despite being scattered throughout the four clans." He wrapped his tail around his paws and flicked his eyes upward at the Highrock. "They really need to hurry up. We haven't got all night."

Moonstream nodded. "I agree. The moon's going down." She looked anxiously up at the Great Rock as the two leaders quarreled. "Well, I just hope it's that way for AquaClan as well." She yawned silently, looking around the clearing.

Hawstar sighed, looking up to the moon. They didn't have time for this at the Gathering. He rasied his head and looked out to the throng of cats, his voice coming out loud, clear, and commanding. "Enough. The Gathering is about sharing our news, seeing friends, and talking about important issues. We have no room, nor the patience for your quarrels." he said, giving a look to Icestar and Jaystar. "It seems this cat has already made it's decision. It's final. Now, I'm sure Whitestar agrees with me when I say, let's continue so we can go home. I have some injured cats that I would like to get back to." Then he stepped back finished and sounding like a cat older and more mature than him in years, nodding to Jaystar. "Jaystar, please share your news about Aquaclan."

Jaystar sighed and shook his head. "Very well" He meowed "Aquaclan has new kits, Shadowsoul's and Scarletmoon's" He meowed happily. "Aquaclan is prospering and recovering fast from a border fight" He coughed a few times but flicked his tail, signaling that he was done.

Hawkstar nodded to Jaystar, smiling. Finally, they were getting somewhere. "Thank you Jaystar. I guess it's my turn." he said, pausing before looking out to the cats gathered below. "Rainclan is doing well, and still am thanks to Frostclan. I would like to express my thanks for the warning of the badger in our territory. Though we are strong enough to handle it, as two of my warriors proved, it would have been a lot worse if we were not warned. The reason Dawnwhisker is not present is that she is helping warriors wounded by the badger." he said, looking to Sootpaw. "And the badger is still a threat, it's blinded and wounded, but it's still dangerous. And we don't know if it's left Rainclan territory or not. So be on the look out. Now, for more happy news, we're expecting kits from Orchidtail. And that's all from Rainclan." he said, stepping back.

Owlfoot turned and watched as the meeting began, slightly relieved. He padded quickly up, sitting beneath his leader as deputies do. His tail twitched nervously. He still wasn't used to the whole deputy thing.

Moonstream nodded, happy that the meeting had finally ended. She turned to Quietshadow. "If you'll just talk to Tigerstripe and her kits I'll handle Jaystar." She padded away, searching the group from Jaystar.

"You're welcome," meowed Whitestar quietly to Hawkstar. "It was just the right thing to do, you know?"
Quietshadow nodded. "Okay. Good luck." He also got up and padded over to small group of BeachClan warriors. The medicine cat easily recognized the tabby warrior and crouched down to whisper in her ear, "Tigerstripe!"
She yelped and nearly toppled backwards into the cat behind her. "Sorry," she quickly mewed. "What do you want, Quietshadow?!"
"Please stay after the Gathering tonight," he meowed. "I've heard from Moonstream that Jaystar is refusing treatment and we figured that you're the only cat who can talk some sense into him. We also planned on having your kits who are present here to stay so he can see them."
"Okay," she replied, voice now tense and nervous. "I hope he's all right."
The black tom then slunk over to the group of apprentices congregated near the middle of the clearing.
ooc: If we do this then Thunderpaw will find out the identity of his father. D: Should I just invite Quailpaw and Larchpaw?

Moonstream padded up to Jaystar, making sure she had Jaystar's attention. "Jaystar, Tigerstripe, Larchpaw, and Quailpaw would like to speak to you after everyone leaves. Rockfang can lead the Clan back to the camp."

"I traveled here after leaving my Clan. I wasn't the medicine cat there, I was a warrior," Rainlight meowed, smiling. "I met some rogues and became friends with them. The often got sick so I would take herbs from the medicine cat den. Moving right along, with help from Oceansong, IceClan's real medicine cat, I learnt what to do and decided to look for a Clan which needed me."
"It's okay Owlfoot," Owlspot meowed, licking his shoulder. "That's just Honeyfrost for you. I'm used to it."
Honeyfrost snorted and looked away. We weren't fighting. I was standing up for you, you mouse-brain.
Coppertail had arrived back with Duskfur by his side. "This is Duskfur," he meowed," He's a BeachClan warrior and my friend."
"Wow," Owlspot meowed, blankly. "A friend."
"Somebody wanted to be your friend?" Honeyfrost laughed as she padded after Owlfoot.
Flaxeyes joined the group, signaling to Blackleaf to follow. "Nice to meet you Duskfur. I think I might of seen you when I visited BeachClan with Skypaw."
Desertflower yawned. "Icestar and Jaystar aren't getting along are they?" I thought they were friends?" She turned to Stormcloud with a puzzled look.

"Uhh, yeah. You too." Duskfur swallowed. He wasn't used to meeting so many cats at once. "Now that I think about it, you do seem familiar," he meowed to Flaxeyes. "I'm not too great with, uh, remembering cats exactly, but, um..." Mouse dung. So much for a good first impression. "But, yeah. Coppertail and I are friends." Kinda-sorta friends, anyway.
"Oh, wow! I've never heard of IceClan before," Sootpaw meowed softly. "What kind of place was it? It sounds beautiful! Was it in the snow?" I've never even seen snow... "My mother used to be a RainClan warrior. She told me about the clan, and it turned out that I had a sister there." She sighed. "So... I ended up going back, and after a little while I ended up being Sleetpelt's apprentice." She made sure to leave out the argument she and her mother had had, and the fact that she'd probably never see her again.

Icestar turned and growled at the Aquaclan leader. "And you never sent a patrol to tell us that she stayed in Aquaclan? We looked all over out territory for her! We were worried!" she hissed. Icestar was as mad as ever. She turned around and looked at the cats. Her icy blue eyes had a strong gaze to them. "I'm done," she meowed. She nodded at Hawkstar. "You can go now....." she whispered into his ear.
Blackleaf followed his mate. "Please don't tell anyone about me, I can get into some huge trouble. Rainlight already knows...." he whispered into Flaxeyes ear.

As the cats dispersed, Moonstream padded close to her leader. She waited until he was ready before stepping in front of him.

Owlfoot turned and smiled to Owlfoot. He turned to look at Honeyfrost, smiling gently He thenn turned to look at Hawkfrost, waiting for his leader to gather the RainClan cats and head back home to camp.

bic;
Icestar jumped down from the rock and threw her tail straight up in the air. She started to walk toward her territory, then she stopped and waited for her clan.
Stormcloud noticed Icestar ready to leave. He smiled and said his good-byes to his kits and walked away.
Blackleaf smiled and touched noses with his father. Skypaw did the same. The two cats walked over to Whitestar. "Can't believe it was him!" Blackleaf whispered to his sister.
Browntail said good-bye to the apprentices and padded over to Jaystar. He stood next to his leader, eager to leave.

Hawkstar leapt down from the tree, landing on his paws easily. He padded over to Honeyfrost and Owlfoot. "Let's go home." he was all he said, smiling, but looking tired. He padded to the edge of the clearing, turning and waiting for Rainclan to follow.

Whitestar jumped down from the Highrock and landed steadily (for once) in front of Blackleaf and Skypaw. "They do look like you both, though," he meowed, giving his tail a flick. "FrostClan! Prepare to depart!"
Rockfang padded to the front of the AquaClan group. "We going?" she asked Jaystar, voice slightly impatient.
Quietshadow followed Icestar back to camp, mewing a quick goodbye to Moonstream, Rainlight, and Blackleaf.
Thunderpaw yawned. "Forget this. I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. I'll be going back to camp now."
Quailpaw sighed. "Whatever..." She padded over to the group of warriors with a quick glance over her shoulder. "C'mon, Larchpaw!" She crept up behind a golden-brown she-cat with dark black stripes and playfully pounced on her.
Tigerstripe yelped and whirled around, claws unsheathed. "Wait...Quailpaw?!"
Quailpaw nodded, head slightly tilted. "Yeah, it's me."
"I've been so worried!" She gave her daughter a lick on the ear, which Quailpaw promptly pulled away from--"Mom!"--and sat down. "Apart from being worried, you've more or less driven BeachClan and AquaClan to war."
"I kind of figured that out, actually."

Moonstream turned to Jaystar. "Jaystar, Tigerstripe, Larchpaw, and Quailpaw would like to talk to you. If you'd just stay behind a few moments, Rockfang can lead the Clan back to camp." She waited for Jaystar to answer.
Doveheart meowed a quick goodbye to Tigerstripe before bounding over to where Whitestar and the rest of the FrostClan cats were filing out of the clearing. She walked alongside Flaxeyes quietly, holding her head low and watching her paws.

Honeyfrost meowed a quick goodbye to her siblings and darted after Owlfoot.
Coppertail watched her leave and turned to his brother. "What do you reckon?" he asked.
"Are you talking about the war between AquaClan and BeachClan or Honeyfrost's obsession with Owlfoot?" Owlspot asked.
Coppertail shrugged. "Either one."
"Both unhealthy, but at least Honeyfrost won't get us all killed," Owlspot answered.
"The way she launched into you before," the ginger tom meowed," I doubt it." He glanced around the clearing. The cats were leaving. "Bye all. Time to go Duskfur," he announced. He flicked his tail and padded over to Icestar and the rest of BeachClan.
Owlspot meowed goodbye to the two BeachClan warriors and touched his nose to his sister's. "Be safe," he meowed," Tell me when the kits arrive okay?"
Flaxeyes nodded and soon she was the last of siblings left. "Come on Blackleaf, I guess we have to go tell Whitestar now. Do you think Rainlight would've told him the truth?"
"Opps, got to Sootpaw," Rainlight meowed, rising. "I'll talk to you next half moon. Say hi to Dawnwhisker for me!"
Desertflower nudged Tussockpaw gently. "Time to go you two," she meowed to her son and Woodpaw. "Gathering's over and you'll have training tommorow."

Hawkstar nodded to his clan as they all gathered. "Alright, let's go." he said, turning and darting through the underbrush, his black fur almost blending into the darkness of the forest had the moons rays not made the white on his chest and paws glow.

"Aw, alright, Desertflower..." Woodpaw whined, though his tone was joking. "This was fun! I hope I get to go to more Gatherings later!" He called good-bye to his new friends, and turned to follow Desertflower, pain surging through his paw as he stepped. He wanted to train more than anything, but wondered if he'd even be able to. No, I shouldn't worry about that. It'll be better by that time.
"I will!" Sootpaw called to Rainlight. "Looks like Hawkstar's leaving, too; I'd better go. Bye!" She scurried after her clan as they vanished into the darkness, with a final glance over her shoulder. She looked forward to seeing the other medicine cats again.
Duskfur headed for the group of BeachClan cats, but hung behind them for a moment.
"Nice seeing you!" Lightstream meowed to Applesong. As she padded toward the BeachClan group, she nudged her brother. "Aren't you coming?"
Duskfur looked up at her as she spoke. He hadn't meant to give her such a harsh glare, but it caused her to back up, looking away. "Well, we're getting ready to leave," she meowed. "Sorry..."

"Bye, Lightstream," Applesong mewed over her shoulder as she hurried to catch up to her Clan. She was confused by some of the tensions between the leaders of BeachClan and AquaClan. Hawkstar may be young, but he has a good head on his shoulders, she thought. He wouldn't let his emotions put the Clan in unnecessary danger. RainClan was fortunate.
