Featherdance was board and so she walked over to Lilyfire and Rivertail. She looked from cat to cat and smiled. She new having kits was foolish to have with another cat from a different clan. Yet, Nightpaw had left to be with the one he loved. She smiled and turned her eyes on Rivertails eyes. "So I hear there love in the air between cats these days." she mewed humoring herself. She looked at Lilyfire and smiled. Lilyfire looked huge compared to other thunderclaners. Her eyes filled with questioning, but faded when the thought came to her. Had Lilyfire been sneaking prey. No! she thought to herself. The war in her mind had luckily not shown, but she smiled even brighter. ~~~~~~~~~~ Darkmask stepped out of the shadows behind Rivertail. Inside he was hurt, but on the outside he showed no emotion. He smiled and sat next to his sister, Featherdance. "So hows Riverclan?" he asked the late coming cat named Rivertail. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Since only Lilyfire had showed up at the gathering, Dawnlight walked over to the Medicine cat and smiled. She couldn't wake to tell her about the new herb she had found. Yet, did Lilyfire even want to hear anything from her? She pushed the thought away and sat next to Lilyfire. She whispered in her ear. "I found a new herb!" she could hardly hide her excitement. (Woohoo! I think this the most active gathering yet. All we need is the leaders )

Rivertail purred at Lilyfire, "I'll send your regards along to Mistpaw and Nightpaw." He jumped, "Oh yes! Could you send a message along to Silverstar? Nightpaw wants to come back to Thunderclan. He says Riverclan is not the place for him." Rivertail smiled slightly and continued, "Although, he insists that he still loves Mistpaw very much. And if Thunderclan has a problem with that, he will not return."
He twitched his whiskers, then looked at the cat that had come to join them. Featherdance. Rivertail was instantly struck by her beauty, and for a moment he was lost. But a breeze brought him back to his senses. He shook his head, and snorted. No! I can't fall in love with this cat! I will not make the same mistake as Mistpaw.... I can't... Rivertail looked in Featherdance's eyes, and struggled to pull his gaze away. The fur around his neck bristled slightly as he focused himself on Lilyfire, but he found it hard not to let his eyes stray back to Featherdance.

Featherdance saw the want in Rivertails eyes. He just couldn't take his eyes away from. Great! Now I'm stuck with him, just like Darkmask and Morningblaze. she smiled at him. (mom telling me to hurry up and do homework. Sorry couldn't post any more. Grr!))

Rivertail quickly flashed a smile at Featherdance, then swallowed and turned his body away from her a bit. I can't let myself fall in love with this Thunderclan cat....
He glanced at the beautiful she-cat out of the corner of his eyes, once again, her beauty crashed into him like a wave. Rivertail grunted as he shifted his gaze back to Lilyfire. He sighed, and dipped his head slightly, "Will you excuse me for a moment?" He stood and faced Featherdance, "May I speak to you alone?" Rivertail signaled toward the edge of the clearing with his tail. I have to explain to her that we can't be together.... I can't let myself make this mistake....

Twinetail looked over at Rivertail and Featherdance. They seemed strange together, like him and Silktail. He recognised the look in Rivertail's eyes; he had worn it many times before when he'd looked at Silktail. He sighed. Featherdance was a good friend of his; he supposed he would cover for her if she asked but he hoped they would just stop it now and not go on to be mates or whatever. He wondered if Silktail would reply to his greeting; just sitting there, not talking, was pretty awkward.

Darkmask mewed good-bye to his sister as she followed Rivertail. ~~~~ Featherdance couldn't say no. His handsome eyes and pelt were needed to keep her going. He was the sun and she was the plant that needed his warmth and life. She smiled at the thought. This was the first time she'd really saw Rivertail for who he was. She had a felling that they were ment to be together. She sigh heavly and awaited what would come next as she followed Rivertail into the Shadows.

Rivertail suddenly whirled around to face Featherdance, and sat. His eyes glowed, not with happiness, but with frustration. A few moments went by, then he softly murmured, "Featherdance.... I think we both feel the same way about each other." He paused, and swallowed. I need to say this without hurting her....
Rivertail blinked, then continued, "But... We can't let this happen. You're from Thunderclan, and I'm from Riverclan." He looked away from her face, and stared at his paws. "My apprentice, Mistpaw. She.... She just had kits. With a Thunderclan apprentice, named Nightpaw. She's young, they both are."
Rivertail stopped again as a chilled breeze swept through the forest. After a moment or two, he murmured, "Now she was to take care of her kits. I don't know how, or when she will be able to continue her training." He shook his head, and looked back up at Featherdance. Sadness masked his eyes, "We shouldn't be together, you know that." He had planned on getting up, and walking away after that. But he found that he couldn't, and it made him angry.
Rivertail twitched his whiskers, and sighed, "I can't leave you.... Ugh, this isn't right, I don't want to make this mistake." He looked deeply into Featherdance's eyes, "We can be friends." Then he added seriously, "But we can't let anything go too far. Remember that."

Silktail had been staring into space for a while before she noticed Twinetail. She jumped, as if she had been doing something bad. "Oh, um, hi Twinetail." She said quietly, staring down at her feet a little nervously.

Featherdance had only started to get to know Rivertail a few moon ago. She didn't know that he might think it a serious that they were hanging out anf showing a emontion for each other. Smiling, she mewed "We'll try to be friends." She looked into Rivertails eyes and mewed in tone only a mother would tell a kit he was doing something he shouldn't. "I am not looking for a mate, I want to enjoy life with out having kits to take care of." she mewed harsher then she ment too. She smiled warmly and flicked her tail across Rivertails shoulder. "Lets started over. Hi I'm Featherdance of Thunderclan." she mewed even welcoming to act the part.

Rivertail narrowed his eyes, "I prefer not to start over. We're friends, and let's just continue that way." He swallowed, and dipped his head slightly to Featherdance. Then, he pulled together the strength to walk away from the beautiful she-cat. Although it hurt him to be rude, and ignore her friendly offer, he knew what he had to do.
Rivertail walked by Lilyfire, and trotted through the mass of cats, to the other side of the clearing. He quickly found a spot in the between some trees, and crouched there. His eyes scanned the clearing, and for a moment he thought he would see Featherdance appear from the group of cats, and find him. She probably won't come after me. Not after I was so rude to her... I should have just said sorry, and started over like she suggested. Or maybe, I shouldn't have said anything.... Rivertail sighed, and curled tail around his legs.

Featherdance sighed and of course she followed silently. She curly pelt stood out amoung the shadows. She took a short-cut and walked behind the trees and stopped behind Rivertail and flicked her tail across his shoulder gently. "Like I said, If I am going to have a mate, I want to be good friends with the tom before getting to serious." she mewed and laughed lightly. "I want to know that he'll stay by my side while times are tuff. We've been friends for like forever, but I never new it was that serious." she finshed and sat next to him and curled her tail neatly over her paws.

Twinetail looked over at Silktail, happy to hear her voice. "Look, I'm sorry I've haven't been talking to you as much recently; but I was busy, and I know that's no excuse, but please forgive me, Silktail? Please?" He looked away, and saw Rivertail stalking away from Featherdance. Maybe those two wouldn't work out, and he wouldn't have to cover for her at all. That would be good. Then Featherdance followed him and he sighed. Why didn't she just leave him alone? Twinetail could see this coming from a mile away.

[*tough May.]
Silktail licked Twinetail's ear gently. "Of course I do. Our warrior duties have just been keeping us apart. It felt kind of lonely not being chased by you or Leopardheart, but a cat told me he's given up on me, because he loves me so much he knows he's gotta let me go." Silktail smiled, twining her tail around Twinetail's, nuzzling him.
[URGH >>]
Silverstar stood in front of the cats. "Prey in ThunderClan is growing a little more seeing as leafbare is drawing to a close. We had a report from one of our warriors that, you, Silentstar, tresspassed upon our land like you once did before Crowstar took you back to be his deputy, did you not?"
The tom gave a sly smile. "Yes, Silverstar," he said, licking his maw with his ravaged tongue. "I did, but only in good heart. I saved a young female twoleg from her doom by an adder."
"Well, you should have left our territory and the twoleg alone. Twolegs on ThunderClan territory are our business, not yours." she said, a slight tone of anger in her voice. Then, Lightstar stepped forward.
"Friends, this is a gathering. We must be civil." his tail flicked up to the moon, where a cloud partly covered it. "As for RiverClan, we have nothing much to report. The river is unfreezing, and we have our newest apprentices with their mentors. Our medicine cat has also discovered a new herb." he said, nodding at Dawnlight.
"ShadowClan has been faring well, however the disease is still living within our ranks, claiming more of our friends and clanmates. However, we have no new apprentices or warriors."

Rivertail jumped up as the leaders started talking. He lifted a paw to take a step, and looked back at Featherdance, "Look, I'm sorry if I seem rude. But....." He sighed, "We need to talk about this. Meet me by the Sunningrocks late tomorrow night." He looked seriously into her lovely eyes for another moment or two, then turned and padded back into the clearing.
Rivertail walked up straight to a spot in front of the gathered cats, and sat. He cleared his throat, and looked up at Silverstar. "Silverstar, what I'm about to say, is on Nightpaw's request." He heard a gasp behind him, then continued, "Nightpaw and Mistpaw have come back to Riverclan. I do not know if Mistpaw and her kits are going to be able to stay permanently or not, but Nightpaw wants to return to Thunderclan." Rivertail flicked his ears back as anxious murmurs arose from the cats, and waited until it was quiet again.
He swallowed, and then kept speaking, "Nightpaw still loves Mistpaw and his kits, with all of his heart. And yes, he wants to be with them, but not Riverclan. His place is in Thunderclan, and so, he requests permission to return." Rivertail paused for a moment, "But! He also wants to make sure that you understand the fact that Mistpaw and his kits are very important to him, and if Thunderclan has a problem with that, then he will stay in Riverclan." Rivertail nodded, signaling that he was finished, and was waiting for an answer.

Silverstar nodded. "I offer both him, his mate and his kits all a place within our clan, but I understand if Mistpaw wishes to remain with RiverClan." Silverstar nodded, waiting for Mosseyes to speak.

Gingerpaw sighed. He already liked Seedpaw. What would his parents say? He did not love any other cat, and never would. It was, alas, love at first sight, which is quite extraordinary. He walked swiftly away from Seedpaw and the googly-eyes tom. Gingerpaw was not going to have any competition. He would win over Seedpaw. Not that other tom. That other tom was so unimportant to Gingerpaw that Gingerpaw already forgot his name. Mudpaw? He didnt care, either. "I wonder if Seedpaw likes flowers. Hmmm...." He found a nice patch of nice looking flowers. He chewed a few away from the rest, and walked triumphantly back to where Seedpaw sat. 'For you.' He said, dropping the flowers at her feet.

Featherdance smiled and mewed shyly "I'd love too." and frowned as Rivertail walked away. She liked that Rivertail was playing hard to get, alas like Morningblaze and her brother Darkmask. She listened to what Rivertail had to say, he was so brave... ~~~~~~~~ Seedpaw smiled happly at the thunderclan apperntice. Gingerpaw and her would be best buds. She looked down at the flowers he had dropped at her feet. This saddly rminded her of her mothers death, when her brother, sister, and her had laid flowers on their mothers body. A single tear fell down her cheek and dripped soundlessly down to the snow covered floor. "Thanks Gingerpaw, there lovely." she mewed and flicked her tail across Gingerpaws fur.

Rivertail dipped his head, "Thank you, Silverstar. I'm sure Mistpaw would appreciate your offer. Although, I also think she would prefer to stay in Riverclan." He swallowed, and shivered at the thought of Nightpaw taking Mistpaw and the kits with him.
He blinked a few times, and looked back up at Silverstar, "I will tell Nightpaw, and he will probably return tomorrow." Rivertail sighed, "I will also pass your offer along to Mistpaw, but I doubt she will leave Riverclan. Her and Nightpaw agreed that even though they will live in separate clans, they will still love each other. And the kits will get to see Nightpaw from time to time." He smiled slightly and continued, "They were very precise about the details."
He flicked his tail, "Again, thank you. If we both understand each other, then I will leave now." He twitched his whiskers, and nodded.
Icefur stood, "Wait! Since the kits are part Thunderclan-"
Rivertail growled slightly, "The kits are staying in Riverclan!" He turned to face the Thunderclan she-cat, "Nightpaw and Mistpaw already agreed on that." He searched the cat's eyes, "And would you really those kits away from Mistpaw?"
Icefur's fur bristled, and she stood to look evenly into Rivertail's gaze, "Are you really going to make Nightpaw leave his kits?" She flicked her ears forward, showing that she had a point to argue also.
Rivertail narrowed his eyes, "Nightpaw is making this decision for himself. Thunderclan is where he wants to be, although he loves Mistpaw and his kits very much. And he said he wouldn't leave unless it was guaranteed that he would get to see them again."
Icefur's tail stood straight, "And how do you plan to do that? Just have Mistpaw and her kits trot on over to Thunderclan territory so she can visit with Nightpaw? I don't think so!"
Rivertail tilted his head, "Oh, and I suppose you're the one who gets to make Thunderclan's decisions, right?" The she-cat only narrowed her eyes, and glanced over at Silverstar. Rivertail added, "And are you saying that you don't want Nightpaw to return to Thunderclan? Or, that you do, but you want him to be unhappy? And you want Mistpaw and her kits to be unhappy? Hm, he was your apprentice, so I would have thought you wanted what's best for him, and for him to be happy. Am I wrong?"
An angry glow flashed in Icefur's eyes, "I never said that! Stop putting words in my mouth!" She took a step closer to the Riverclan cat, and leaned closer to his face, "I was thinking of Thunderclan! I don't think it's safe to allow Riverclan cats to just walk on over whenever they feel like it!"
Rivertail twitched his ears in a circle, "So, you're saying that we would take that to our advantage? Do you really think we're that-"
Icefur yowled, "Silverstar do something! I can't talk to this crazy Riverclan cat anymore!" She turned sharply away, and padded back to Thunderpelt's side, where she sat, and curled her tail around her legs. Although her eyes were still glowing, and the fur on her shoulders still stood straight.
Rivertail stared at the Thunderclan she-cat for another moment, then faced Silverstar again. He dipped his head, "I apologize, but I think the kits should stay in Riverclan. That's also what Nightpaw and Mistpaw agreed upon, so I think we should go with it." He waved his tail lightly through the air, and took his seat again.

Featherdance wished she could sit by someone, yet she new at the moment Rivertail didn't want her now, so she sat by a bunch of warriors. She saw her friends Robinclaw and walked over to him. ~~~~~~~ Robinclaw smiled at his good friend Featherdance. "Hows it going?"

Silverstar lashed her tail as the clouds began to gather more over the moon. "The desicion belongs to Mistpaw. If she wishes so, she can remain in ThunderClan until her mate has become a warrior, then, they may go in either my clan, or yours Rivertail. Next, time, watch your place warrior." She said with a slight flash of anger in her eyes.
Shiverpaw had hung back, sitting quietly in the shadows, watching Seedpaw with his one good eye. Then, a ThunderClanner gave her flowers. His pelt stood on end. How dare he! Shiverpaw loved Seedpaw! Ooooooh!!! Shiverpaw was in the right mind to go and fight Gingerpaw! That stupid pile of fluff!
