PufferPelt yawned, and made his was into camp, placing his bird down. It was nearing the end of NewLeaf, the are was getting warmer, and twolegs where using there water monsters. PufferPelt watched as MothWing and WillowPaw laid out herbs to dry, and smiled. He felt proud his former apprentice was helping his clan. DownPebble and OwlScreech where exiting the warriors den, and PufferPelt blushed slightly, this was his chance. OwlScreech head out of camp, and PufferPelt walked up to DownPebble, smiling Awkwardly. " H-hey DownPebble, can we chat? " PufferPelt smiled, purring deeply. " Yeah! What's up! " DownPebble meowed, her blue eyes bright. " Well....DownPebble I...I.. " PufferPelt began, but IceWing and MintFur stood in the center of camp. " Me and MintFur have a announcement " IceWing purred.

" I would love nothing more Puffy " DownPebble giggled, and stood up, running out of camp. PufferPelt ran after her, smiling. " Aw...Young...Love " Earth spoke, and PufferPelt giggled. " I'll make sure yours comes back Earth...But now I have a promise to Uphold "
