"Tiger!? Where are you Tiger?!" Lightning called, rapidly looking around.
"Here!" Tiger called from the organizers den. She had been laying there and fantasizing for about an hour.
"Ugh! Fantasizing again? I've been looking for you, all day!" Lightning exclaimed, giving her friend a playful swat with her claws sheathed.
"Well, you obviously don't get it, since you're not interested in a mate! Fire is perfect....." Tiger said, rolling onto her back.
"Whoever said that....??" Lightning said blushing and looking over her shoulder.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about, Riiiiiiivvvvvvvererrrrrrr...." Tiger teased pawing at Lightnings face.
"I do not have a crush on River!" Lightning yowled quietly. Tiger laughed.

"All cats old enough to dig a den, gather under high lump for a meeting!" Flower called from atop High Lump.
"Wonder what this is about...." Fire mumbled sitting next to Tiger and River.
"Uhhhh.... Maybe it's a rank change? Or a kit birth? Or new mates?" Tiger said looking curiously up at her leader.
"Ahem! Step forward, Storm!" Flower said motioning for a little grey she-cat to step forward.
The tiny she-cat stepped forward, a little nervous. She bowed to Flower in respect.
"Storm, even though, against code, you have mated as a Trainee, and shall be punished after the birth. You're punishment will be having your greatest dream taken away. You shall never become a hunter and you are to be kept in the prisoners den!" Flower said glaring coldly down at Storm, the young Trainee who had mated before she became a hunter.
Storm wailed a cry of sadness and was taken by two guard-toms to the prisoners den.
Fire looked at Tiger with a pained look. They had just received their new ranks. They were Trainees just a moon ago. Fire and Storm had been as close as siblings.
Tiger licked Fire over the ear to comfort the tom. "It'll be ok, it'll be ok....."
Fire looked down at the ground to hide his tears.
Flower stepped off the High Lump and stepped into her den. All the cats returned to their dens. Everybody wanted this chaos of Flower's rein to end.
