"But...but Stormstar...you're on your last life!" Treepool blurted out. Moonpaw was shocked. His...his LAST life...? thought Moonpaw. Stormstar didn't even look embarrassed.
"I'll be fine Treepool. Don't worry," said Stormstar.
"No! It's too dangerous! First I lose you to Flowernose...NOW YOU'LL PROBABLY DIE ON A JOURNEY YOU DON'T NEED TO GO ON!" Treepool wailed. All four the apprentices gasped. Who was Flowernose...? Thought Moonpaw. Stormstar looked furious.
"Look, Treepool! I chose her over you, because I thought you wanted to be a medicine cat!" he yowled. Treepool had a disgusted look on her face.
"How daft are you? I became a medicine cat BECAUSE you chose her!" she looked angry, but also hurt. Stormstar sighed.
"Not that it makes any difference now, but I always loved you the most," he said sadly. Treepool's eyes filled with tears. Moonpaw didn't understand at all.
"What? Who is Flowernose?" he asked. Stormstar shot him a look. "We will discuss this no more. Treepool, I am going on this journey whether you like it or not," he said firmly. As he was walking out of the den, he turned around and looked at the apprentices.
"We leave in two days. Start saying your goodbyes." And with that he left.
"Well, you heard him. Start saying your goodbyes," Treepool whispered. Then she stormed off, clearly upset. Moonpaw looked at his friends and brother.
"Well...we should probably start with our littermates," he declared. The rest nodded their heads in silence, clearly as overwhelmed by the day as he was. They padded solemnly out the den, and went to where Tansypaw and Larkpaw were sharing tongues. They turned to face Moonpaw and the others when they came closer.
"Where have you all been?" asked Tansypaw, "We've been looking ALL OVER for you." Moonpaw cleared his throat to start talking, but then Featherpaw stepped forward.
"Look, Tansypaw, Larkpaw. Moonpaw, and the rest of us had a dream. From StarClan. They told us to journey to the other four Clans, and save them from the trouble that threatens them. We aren't saying we're better than you, but we have to go on this journey, and I'm sorry, but you can't come with us. We love you all very, very much. Will you be okay without us?" Featherpaw asked soothingly. Both Tansypaw and Larkpaw nodded with understanding. Though sadness shone in their gazes, there was pride too.
"Of course we will be," said Larkpaw.
"We'll miss you guys though. And be CAREFUL," Tansypaw said playfully, and nudged Featherpaw. Then Tansypaw whispered something in her ear, and Featherpaw giggled, looking embarrassed. She-cats, Moonpaw thought, and rolled his eyes at Tigerpaw and Blizzardpaw. Then they exchanged a glance of their own, as if they knew EXACTLY what the two she-cats were talking about.

RandomOkay, this is my first story, so don't judge. It's also probably retarded. It's about a cat from SkyClan who has to go on a dangerous journey. If you have any helpful comments, please put them down! Enjoy! :-)
