BlackPaw and PatchPaw had a successful hunt. They returned to the meeting spot with their mouths stuffed with 2 voles and 1 sparrow. The two apprentices sat in awkward silence until MintPaw and CloudPaw return. MintPaw carries two small mice and a scrawny squirrel. "Hello BlackPaw, hello PatchPaw!" CloudPaw calls out and sits beside BlackPaw. MintPaw sets down the mouse with the voles and sparrow. She sits across from CloudPaw and BlackPaw. "Where's the others?" PatchPaw asks. "I'm not sure," MintPaw replies to his question.
After a couple minutes OrangePaw, WillowPaw, and IvyPaw return. Apparently their hunt wasn't successful for only WillowPaw carried a baby bird. Good thing the others had enough. "Let's eat," BlackPaw suggests. The others agree and pick out prey. IvyPaw takes a mouse for herself and settles down near RuffledPaw, who also picked a mouse to eat. OrangePaw picks up a vole, CloudPaw takes the second for himself. MintPaw takes the squirrel and shares with WillowPaw. StreamPaw takes the baby bird. The only thing left is a sparrow. BlackPaw and PatchPaw both reach for it. BlackPaw blushes and sits back. "Do you want to share?" PatchPaw asks, scooting the sparrow in between them. BlackPaw nods, "Thank you." PatchPaw and BlackPaw begin to eat.
After the apprentices finish eating they take a rest. The sun was starting to rise. "I suggest we travel until sun high, then we stop and rest" CloudPaw mews. The others nod and meow their agreements. They begin their journey again. The sun slowly rise as they travel across an open field covered in tall grass and wild flowers. BlackPaw pounces on a flower that wavers in the wind. She sneezes from pollen that makes it's way into her nose. "A-ACHOO!" She sneezes again and rubs her nose with her paw. The other cats look back and giggle at her. BlackPaw looks at them embarrassed and follows them again. To her relief the other cats were mingling. TabbyClan, IcyClan, and CliffClan all talking together. The small group seemed like a clan to BlackPaw as she races to catch up.
