BTW, the part of Fuzzypelt getting her nine lives (Oops... spoiler :/) was really dependent on the Warriors Wikia cos i'm not really good at that part... so itz really similar to Firestar's... sorry -.- 

Epilogue:

"Fuzzystar," Rockpath mewed to LightClan's new leader. "It's time to recieve your 9 lives." The flame she-cat had followed the stone-pelted medicine cat to the Moonpool, where her new life as Clan leader awaited.

Fuzzypelt, who was not at all used to how Rockpath was addressing her, mewed slightly excited. "Okay, Rockpath. But don't call me Fuzzystar until I truly receive my 9 lives."

As she touched the cool waters of Moonpool, she felt her old warrior life rip away from her. Although her body was unable to move, her mind was soon in the presence of StarClan.

9 cats appeared. And of course, all of them were to give her her new lives. "Fuzzypelt. Are you ready to recieve your nine lives?" StarClan asked in unison as Fuzzypelt nodded. "Yes."

Of the familiar cats, Patchpelt was the first to speak. "With this life, I give you courage. Use it well to defend your Clan without fear." Her brother's nose touched the back of her head as she felt a life flow through her.

Doveflight spoke next. "With this life I give you justice. Use it well and always do what is right, and judge fairly."

Lightstar padded forward. "With this life I give you loyalty. I know that your loyalty to LightClan will never waver, may you guide the Clans for seasons to come."

Redstripe was next. "With this life, my gift is endless energy. You had always been a little ball of energy, so please stay that way and carry your duties well."

Flowerheart smiled as she spoke. "With this life, I give you protection. Protect the Clan like you would do so for your beloved kits. I treated you like my own kit, and I will always protect you with all I have."

Clawstar followed. "With this life, I give you mentoring. Use it well and train young cats to be warriors."

Mittens walked up, her tears brimming. "With this life, I give you compassion. Use it well and protect those weaker than you, and keep them all safe."

Spotleaf spoke with pride obvious in his tone. "With this life, I give you the power of love. Use it well and care for every cat in the Clan."

Mossstar was last, but he spoke as long-winded as he was when alive. "Welcome my lovely deputy. I had made the right choice after all, seeing as you are as great as you are now. With this last life, I give you nobility and faith. Use it well and lead your Clan in the ways of the warrior code and in the will of StarClan." 

"I hail you by your new name, Fuzzystar. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of LightClan. Defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code; live each life with pride and dignity."

As he finished, StarClan was full of cheers of "Fuzzystar! Fuzzystar!" and Fuzzystar felt a single tear trickle from the corner of her eye. She was finally the Clan leader.

"I've always known you were meant for something huge my dear kit," Mittens purred as the scene before her slowly blurred.

Fuzzystar's eyes blinked open and in front of her was Rockpath. "Fuzzystar?" she asked worriedly. "How'd it go?"

Fuzzystar smiled. "Perfectly."

6 moons later... :)

Amberpaw hurried along to Rockpath, who had been arranging the herbs. "Rockpath, these are borage leaves right?" the amber-pelted she-cat asked her mentor.

Rockpath turned to see her apprentice with the hairy leaves of the mentioned plant. "Yes, Amberpaw. And what is it used for?"

"It can be chewed by queens to produce more milk for kits or can be used to bring down a fever!" Amberpaw answered excitedly, glad to have remembered.

Rockpath nodded, before Amberpaw bounced away to see her littermates. Bluepaw had been out with her mentor, Mumblecloud, and Redpaw with Pineshade.

The border patrol had just returned, and Thornmist's kits were happy to see her return. The hunting patrol followed soon, and Fuzzystar realised something she had yet to do.

"Let all cats old enough to catch prey gather around the High Rock for a clan meeting!" she yelled, as the cats were soon gathered.

"Frostsnow, is it your wish to give up the name of a warrior and go to join the elders?" she asked the snowy she-cat. "It is, Fuzzystar," Frostsnow nodded. "Okay then. LightClan honors you and all the service you have given to us. I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest."

"Frostsnow! Frostsnow!" the Clan cheered.

Tawnyheart and Shrewstripe followed along, but Tawnyheart pressed closer to Shrewstripe, murmuring softly, "When should we tell them?"

"Soon, but our kits should remain a mystery for a while, eh?" Shrewstripe leaned closer, and their tails twined.

Jaywing padded into Fuzzystar's den, only to see Sandtail. His father, the current deputy of LightClan seemed happy to meet him.

"Where's Fuzzystar?" Jaywing asked. "Out to stretch her legs I suppose," his father replied simply, as he smiled at his son.

"We're safe now, aren't we?" Jaywing asked suddenly as Sandtail only chuckled. "Jaywing. We are but warriors. Our lives had never been safe. It's only up to StarClan to decide, and for us to do as we can."

Jaywing nodded, slightly doubtful, but yet understanding at the same time.

-----

Fuzzystar raced no cat in particular through the depth of the forest, feeling her paws run free. The feeling was just... brilliant.

She stopped at a pond, where she saw the reflection of herself. In the water, she could see bright emerald eyes staring back at her, flame-coloured pelt messy as usual, and a nip in her ear, a healed scar on her flank. But still, she was Fuzzystar.

"I'm so relieved all these problems with Rainstar is finally over..." she mewed to herself. And with that, she returned to her Clan, where she was needed. And where she would give all 9 lives for.
