     Moonpaw scanned the sea of colors, looking for a familiar pelt. Suddenly, a smokey gray figure barreled into her. "Moonpaw!" "Ripplepaw!" She purred. "How are you?" "Great!" He glanced at her shredded ear, a fresh scar from her battle with the rogues. "Another fight?" Moonpaw nodded. "Darkstar should mention it. We drove them off, of course." "I'm sure you did." "Hi Moonpaw!"

     A long haired she-cat padded over to join them. "Duckpaw." She acknowledged. "How have you been?" "Great." Duckpaw replied. Then she narrowed her eyes slightly. "Have you been in a battle recently?" She felt herself bristle slightly. "Yes. And we drove them off. They won't be returning anytime soon. And we're ready for any other intruders."

     The RiverClan apprentice never got a chance to reply, because a yowl stopped everyone's conversations. "The Gathering has begun!"

     Carpstar stood up straight. "RiverClan is thriving despite of the cold! The lake may be frozen, but the rivers running through our territory remain plentiful with fish!" Yeah, and the fish are probably half frozen.

     "WindClan discovered a new way to stay warm in the moorlands!" Meadowstar announced. "We weave heather flowers and tall grass to make a wall of plants. Then, we place it on top of an entrance, and put rocks over it to keep it in place. This blocks out the cold wind." A few cats murmured in admiration. Smart. Moonpaw thought. Wait until you hear our news. "Larkbreeze has given us one fine kit, Breezekit."

     "The birds are easier to catch when they're dosing in their nests!" Nightstar yowled. "Leafwhisper gave us three fine kits. Nutkit, Cloudykit, and Birdkit!" "And they're healthy too!" Swanfeather, the SkyClan medicine cat purred. "Also, Shineclaw has moved into the nursery! That is all."

     Darkstar stepped forward. "ShadowClan is doing well despite the fact that it is leafbare." He meowed. "We were recently attacked by rogues, but thanks to Badgerclaw, Lizardleap, Willowear, Shadepaw, Icepaw, and Moonpaw, they were driven off." "Wow!" Ripplepaw exclaimed. "I haven't been in a battle yet, and you've fought in three!" Moonpaw felt her ears heat up. "It's nothing." She mumbled.

     But her modesty was crushed with Darkstar's next announcement. "I would like to give a special thanks to Badgerclaw's apprentice, Moonpaw. She defeated the leader on the band of rogues single pawed." "Moonpaw, Moonpaw!" The ShadowClan cats cheered. Moonpaw flattened her ears in embarrassment, trying to disappear into the crowd.

     Her embarrassment ended when Darkstar continued. "Lizardleap gave us two toms! Amberkit and Stormkit!" "Congratulations Duststorm!" She heard some cat purr. Darkstar flicked his tail, indicating that he was finished.

     Moonpaw moved closer to Icepaw and Shadepaw, sandwiching Icepaw in between them. Icepaw twitched her whiskers and aimed a playful cuff at Moonpaw's ear. Moonpaw ducked, and focused back towards the leaders.

     Rainstar took a step forward. "ThunderClan is thriving well! Cloudwing has moved into the nursery!" She announced.

     "The Gathering is over!" Nightstar called, and leapt off of the branch. "Come on!" Icepaw meowed. "Hold on." She looked around for her RiverClan friends, but they were nowhere in sight. "Ready?" Icepaw asked. "Ready." Bye Ripplepaw. Wherever you are.
