The bright sky was flushed with a rosy pink, and the shining sun was gold. The long, thin, wispy clouds wove in and out of the sky, and tiny birds flew and chirpped cheerfully. Crowfeather and Leafpool had left only last night, and they'd spent their night at Ravenpaw and Barley's place.  But now, Leafpool thought, we are on our way! We are going to find ourselves a home now! She and Crowfeather were slowly- but peacefully- making their way through a field of wavy, golden wheat, and yellow and green buttercups and tiny purple violets. They had caught a few mice before they had started off, so neither of them were hungry. Oh! But our journey has only just begun! Leafpool thought, a little desperately. She really wanted to find a place where her and Crowfeather could live. It would be so wonderful! Maybe they'd start a new family, and perhaps gather up a few rogues, and form a new (though small) Clan! Leafpool thought about all this carefully.

**********NEXT MORNING**********

"Leafpool!" Crowfeather snapped. "Are you listening?" His tone softened as he saw her confused face. The tom sighed heavily. "Look. Look right over there!" He pointed with his tail. He was pointing to a large piece of land right off the field of wheat, where no two-leg's nests were. It was a green forest, with what looked like a large stream running through the top of it. The land ended at a pond, they realized, as they reached the forest. The pond was called a kettle hole, but, of course they did not know that. It was perfectly round, and, unlike most kettle holes, it was very large. "This is perfect..." Crowfeather meowed quietly. "Yes, it is." Agreed Leafpool contentedly.
