"Don't be mouse-brained Sharpclaw." Longclaw sighed. "She wouldn't be here if Lighstar hadn't agreed to it."

Sharpclaw growled. "What-ever!" And with that he turned, flicked his tail and headed into camp. Moments later and the clan plodded back into camp, Crystal let out a releafed sigh as the clan left.

"Crystal." Echopaw called out as he plodded over followed by Honeypaw, Wildpaw and another small cat.

"Echopaw, Wildpaw, Honeypaw." Crystal purred and plodded over to meet them.

"Echopaw?" Longclaw called out. "Do you know this cat?"

Echopaw's ears, tail and head drooped as he looked up to see his deputy.

"Yes."

"And how is that?"

"I met her when I was hunting, I stoppd to drink at the river and there she was. Drinking on the ThunderClan side." Echopaw explained, Crystal sighed.

"I asked if I can talk with him, I had never met a clan cat before and I wanted to know what it was like." Crystal said proudly, Longclaw nodded.

"I take it Wildpaw and Honeypaw knew about this." The deputy asked, Crystal paw and Echopaw nodded slolwy.

"Okay, let's keep this between us. Shall we?" Echopaw, Crystal, Wildpaw and Honeypaw nodded quickly before racing off into the RiverClan camp.

Longclaw let out a deep sigh before following after them, Crystal stoped in the middle of the clearing and stared in amazement at all the new scents and cats. Echopaw quickly dashed off over to a large entrance in a bush, Crystal stared before bolting after him.

"This is the Warriors' den." Echopaw said. "When we are made warriors this is where we will sleep."

"It's huge." Crystal meowed.

"Well there are a lot of warriors'." Wildpaw butted in, Echopaw shot him a playful glare before laughing.

After Echopaw and Crystal had seen the whole clan they had curled up outside the apprentices' den, Wildpaw had also come along and brough a mouse from himself, Echopaw and Crystal.

Crystal yawned and finished the mouse, Echopaw laughed as he streched.

"Try and stay up, Remeber Lightstar is going to give you your apprentice ceremony when he gets back." Echopaw pointed out, Crystal sighed.

"How long does a gathering normaly take?" Crystal asked.

"Sometimes StarClan cuts it short, other times they don't get back till dawn." Wildpaw told her, Crystal let out a deep sigh before streching and rolling onto her back to look at the sky.

"It's beautiful." She purred as her eyes watched the moon and SilverPelt.

"It's sad to thing I will be gone soon." Wildpaw said as he rolled onto his back just like Crystal.

"Gone!" Crystal rolled around suddenly so she was facing Wildpaw. "What do you mean gone?"

"When leaf-bare come it will become dark and cloudy, so you won't be able to see the moon or Silverpelt." Echopaw said as he curled up next to Wildpaw, Crystal let out a sigh of releaf. I though he ment gone as in, leaving. She though as she rolled back onto her back.
