Icestar counted the cats she had amoung her. "Wait, we're missing someone," she whispered. "Thunderpaw! Tigerstripe! Lets go!" she meowed. She didn't want to be the last clan to leave. Again. It shows that a leader can't get their clan together quick enough and they don't know how to run a clan very well...

"We have business here, Icestar," Tigerstripe yowled. "You can ask Quietshadow for information."
Thunderpaw ran up next to his mentor. "I'm here," he protested. "I didn't wanna wait." The light brown apprentice flicked his tail, slightly annoyed by the two she-cats. Ugh.

Coppertail circled around the group of cats. "Come on," he meowed, his voice filled with annoyance. "Don't any you want to sleep before the dawn patrol?"
Desertflower laughed. "Many moons more."
"Did you know Skypaw might be getting her warrior name soon?" Tussockpaw meowed. "I have been training way longer then she has and I don't have my warrior name!"
"Home?" Honeyfrost asked, brushing gently up beside Owlfoot. She looked at the deputy with curiousity. "Why are you smiling?" she asked," What's so funny?" I don't think I've ever seen him smile so much.

Owlfoot jerked before blinking at her. "W-what? Nothing's funny," he said hurriedly, turning to follow Hawkstar. "I'm just...happy." He didn't know why, but Honeyfrost always filled him with so much joy. "We should get going." And with that, he ran off after Hawkstar, his gray tail held in the air as he ran.

"Business?" Lightstream meowed with a yawn. "It can't wait until later? I'm getting tired." She sighed. "Icestar, do we have to wait for them?"
Duskfur listened to the BeachClan cats' talking from his own secluded position. Looks like most of them just want to get home. So did he, he supposed. Nonetheless, he paused curiously at the edge of the group, wondering what sort of business Tigerstripe might have. Probably has something to do with that huge fiasco earlier. His ears pricked up, waiting for someone to say something more, while he remained silent himself.
"Oh, I'm sure you'll get your warrior name soon!" Woodpaw meowed to Tussockpaw cheerfully. In his mind, at least, the older apprentice was amazing - everything he could ever dream of being. It'll be forever before I'm good enough, he thought gloomily. He was tired, and was stumbling as much as he could to hide the fact that he was limping - he found it rather difficult to keep up.

"Icestar, Lightstream, please," Quietshadow meowed. "She is merely stopping to visit her mate and Quailpaw." He dared not mention Jaystar's name in front of BeachClan. "I've heard from Moonstream some...ah, negative news. And Thunderpaw was supposed to be with them," he added with a slightly irritable glare at the apprentice.
Thunderpaw fluffed up his short pelt. "I want to sleep," he protested. He then looked at Icestar, silently pleading for some backup. "You can't make me come."
"Fine. Do as you wish. Well, we have instructions to not wait up for them."

Icestar was getting angry. The black leader ignored her medicine cat and turned away. "Thunderpaw, what do you smell?" she asked her apprentice. She sniffed the air. She smelled all four clans, rabbit, mice, and pine from the forest just up ahead.
Browntail ran after his clan. How could they almost leave without me? he thought, a little angry.

Thunderpaw scented the air. "I smell BeachClan and three other scents sort of mixed in. One is crisp and sort of flowery, one is sweet, kind of like after it rains, and there's a murkyish mud-like one. And I smell trees." He flicked his tail and glanced expectantly up at Icestar.

"Happy?" Honeyfrost echoed in a abrely audible whisper. She said it as if it wasn't a possiblity.
She shook her head and smiled before chasing after Owlfoot. "I'll give you a mouse if you can beat me back to camp!" she yowled.

Applesong opened her mouth and took in the strong scent of the Clans. She started to think about Duskfur, the mysterious tom Lightstream had mentioned earlier. Who is he? she wondered. What makes him so...nervous? So different from Lightstream? Maybe I'll meet him. Maybe I'll get to know him someday. She turned her head to Tussockpaw. "Wanna race?" she asked with a grin on her face. "Let's see who gets to camp the fastest."

Owlfoot turned his head and grinned. "Alright!" he yelled, running faster. Hawkstar was still far ahead.

Her mate? Lightstream wondered. Could Jaystar actually be... No, maybe I misheard earlier. She wondered if she should bother to ask - she knew it wasn't really any of her buisness. "Oh. So, um... You're saying her mate's not from BeachClan?" He has to be. Otherwise, she could have just talked to him back at camp.
Duskfur sighed. How slow can a cat get? He wondered, glancing at his sister. Sometimes, it really was embarassing to be related to her.
Sootpaw laughed as the RainClan cats started to speed up. "Hey, wait for me!" She called softly, dashing after them as fast as she could. It was nice, feeling the air against her face in the darkness, and the worries about Spottedfrost and Wolfheart began to fade away from her. She let her mind become distant, blurring with her surroundings .
"Hey," Woodpaw muttered. He was still struggling along near the back of the group, and didn't intend to make an attempt to run. Maybe I should just stop walking and see if they even notice I'm not here...

"He's not," Quietshadow meowed. "I suspect that's why Quailpaw specifically ran away to AquaClan since she was dissatisfied with life here. If she wanted to run away just to get away then she probably would have opted for FrostClan. They're close and Whitestar is notoriously friendly. See, she must have known that she has family in AquaClan."

Hawkstar looked over his shoulder, making sure everyone was coming. He caught sight of Sootpaw and Woodpaw near the back. He slowed down his pace, falling in line next to Owlfoot. "Owlfoot, could you finish leading the rest of the way. I'm feeling a little tired and am going to bring up the back with everyone." he said quietly, smiling. He wasn't that tired, but he didn't want them to think Woodpaw was slowing them down. With that, he slowed down considerably, letting cats pass him till he was with Woodpaw. "Leg still bothering you?" he asked lightly, padding beside the apprentice with ease.

Lightstream blinked. "Oh." I suppose that makes sense. She yawned, then leaned over to Quietshadow and whispered, "So, um, does the rest of the clan know that yet? 'Cause I won't tell anyone if it's supposed to be a secret."
Woodpaw nearly jumped when he heard Hawkstar's voice beside him. How'd he get there? I thought he was up ahead... He wasn't sure whether to admit that his paw still hurt - he might have to miss training tomorrow. But then again, if it got worse, he'd miss it anyway. He hoped it wasn't infected. "Uhh, yeah. A little." He glanced at the sihlouettes of the rest of the clan ahead of him. "Am I slowing everyone down again?" He whispered, looking down.

Hawkstar shook his head, chuckling lightly. "No, you're not slowing them down. Actually, if anyone's slowing them down it's me. I'm so tired, and I feel even older having to stop Jaystar and Icestar. They're like bickering kits." he joked, nudging the apprentice's shoulder with a laugh.

Honeyfrost's paws hit the earth with soft thumps. Her eyes twinkled mischeivously and she glanced over her shoulder to see if Owlfoot was following. Her smile faded as Hawkstar started talking to him. I know he's the deputy but a little fun now and then can't hurt right?
Tussockpaw looked at Applesong with surprised eyes. She seemed to be always trying to test his speed. He couldn't help but think she had some alterior movement and she really wanted him to vanish forever. "Um, okay?" he meowed, awkwardly. A smile slowly spread across his face though at the aspect of challenge. " You versus me? Because you should probably just walk. I'll beat you and there's no point of you wasting your time," he teased.

ooc: oh my, has Maplepaw's paranoia rubbed off on Tussockpaw? Applesong has no ulterior motive; she just enjoys interacting with the apprentices.  bic: I wonder why Tussockpaw hesitated, thought Applesong. I hope he didn't have a bad experience at the Gathering. Tussockpaw's mentor Ravenclaw hadn't been able to come. In fact, she hadn't seen him around much lately. "Oh, puh-leez!" Applesong meowed back to Tussockpaw, glad to see the spunk return to his eyes. And, she took off toward camp. |

"My kits!" Jaystar purred as he scampered over to his family. He nuzzled Larchpaw, who returned his father's greeting with a nuzzle back. "Hello father" Larchpaw meowed politely.

Moonstream felt warmth flood her body as Jaystar nuzzled Larchpaw. Wouldn't it be nice to have kits? She shook herself clean of the thought. Don't even think about it! First, I refuse to break the warrior code. Second, you swore you'd never ever ever fall in love. That title includes NO KITS! She turned back to BeachClan and AquaClan. "Err.. Tigerstripe and the apprentices just need to speak with Jaystar for a moment. It won't take long."

Owlfoot kept running, Honeyfrost already in front of him. He grinned, increasing his pace, paws thudding against teh earth almost silently.

"Jaystar!" Tigerstripe mewed, bounding up to her mate and rubbing her chin on his shoulder. "How have you been?" She let her weight drop to her paws, resulting in a certain unsteadiness. The warrior leaned against him and let herself regain her balance. "Oops."
Quailpaw sat down and tucked her tail around her paws, watching her parents with mild interest. "Larchpaw, how's Swallowpaw and Inkpaw? They weren't here at the Gathering."

"They're as well as they can be I guess" Larchpaw shrugged. "How are you?? I've missed playing with you, I don't like how Swallowpaw and Thunderpaw always play fight. It's not the same" He complained.

"Thunderpaw doesn't like me," Quailpaw meowed, a bit irritable at the mention of her brother. "I never really felt like I fit in at BeachClan. You were more or less the only friend I had. Things'll get better in AquaClan, I hope. By the way, who was my mentor going to be?" She shifted her weight on her four white paws.

"Oh, okay," Quailpaw meowed. "My mentor is Rainfeather. She's a warrior and seems pretty nice; I haven't really gotten out to any training. Besides all the fighting, is there anything else I missed?"

Larchpaw shrugged. "Nothing really. Things are pretty normal and slow around here" He sighed.

ooc: It's fine. There's actually not too much to say here. x.o
(lol, I almost typed "She rested her shoulder on his head." xDD
bic: Quailpaw nodded. "Same here."
Tigerstripe turned to Jaystar. "You know the main reason why we came here, right? Jaystar, you've got to take those herbs and stuff that Moonstream is giving you. If you won't get better for yourself or your Clan, do it for your family. Me, Larchpaw, Quailpaw, Swallowpaw, Inkpaw, and Thunderpaw." She rested her head on his shoulder.

Tigerstripe nodded and remained silent, closing her eyes and breathing softly.
Quailpaw blinked, watching them intently. She did not speak--the silence seemed so unbreakable.... She snuck a nervous glance over at Larchpaw that plainly said Now what?
