What if I'm not right for the job?? What if I let the clan down?? Dustfoot thought as he sat on the Sunningrocks, warming his fur in the early morning. Dustfoot was very recently named Deputy of Thunderclan, and he had been struck with many emotions. Excitement, unsureness, worry, happiness, but most of all, he wondered if he was really right for the job.
No, I can't think that way. I'm supposed to be happy, right? I guess I am happy, but I can't help but feel worried. Dustfoot was happy but all of this excitement left him feeling a bit shocked. I know that I can do this. I can be a good deputy. I am a good clan cat. Dustfoot thought to himself. Dustfoot lay down, smiling, knowing that he could be a good deputy. If Silverstar knew she made the right decision by choosing me as the new Deputy, I am willing to believe her. Dustfoot thought, one more time, before he finally relaxed.

Snowheart trotted out onto the Sunningrocks, seeing Dustfoot, the new deputy. She smiled, and walked out and sat next to him, "Congratulations, Dustfoot. Are you ready to become the new deputy? I think you'll do great." She smiled at him.

Dustfoot saw Snowheart walking over. Good, some company. He thought, for he was getting lonely. "Heh. Thanks." Dustfoot replied, and smiled back.
I sure hope that I'll do alright..... No, I've got to stop thinking about what could go wrong! I need to think about helping the clan. I'm happy that I was chosen to be deputy, but I can't help worrying just a little bit. I know that Silverstar made the right choice. The rather inexpirienced cat was nervous and happy at the same time.

Snowheart looked at Dustfoot, she smiled to heself, she was a smart cat, and she could already sense his nervousness when she first approached him. She looked out at at river, "Nervous, is a common feeling, I guess. But nervous can be good, I don't think of it as some do, I think of it as....another form of exitement. I was nervous when I first found out I was going to have kits, because this will be my first litter. But, that soon changed to exitement." She smiled, "You'll see, you'll find yourself loving your job before you even know it." Snowheart looked into Dustfoot's eyes to see what he was thinking.

She is quite a smart cat. She knows just what to say to make me feel better. Dustfoot thought. He smiled at Snowheart's kind words. "Thank you, I understand what you are saying." Dustfoot looked out at the river. "You really are very kind." He mewed as he looked down at his tawny paw. He chuckled at the thought that his foot was his namesake. Dustfoot forgot about his worries, as those feelings were replaced with happiness.

Hearing Dustfoot laugh was wonderfull, and it made her feel so much better, she knew it wouldn't do the clan any good with a nervous deputy. Then she laughed with him, and she didn't even know why she was laughing, her stomach shook with her laughter, and suddenly she felt something jerk inside of her, her laughter cut short, and she curled into a ball, grinding her teeth together, as her insides pinched.

"Wa- Wait. Whats wrong?" Dustfoot mewed with a very worried expression on his face. He jumped down very quickly off of the rock and went over to Snowheart. He didn't know what to do, so he sat down and asked again, "What's wrong?" But with a bit more emphasis this time. He was becoming stressed and didn't know what to do.

Snowheart looked up at Dustfoot, "I-I don't know. I think it's the kits, but I don't know what's wrong.." She hissed at him through ground teeth.
For a few moments more her insides churned, and she squeezed her eyes closed, and held her mouth shut. Then things started to calm down, and she could breathe again. She took in a breath, and let it out. Then uncurled and sat up, cringing, she was still a little shaky.
Snowheart looked at Dustfoot, "I'm okay now." She took a breath again to calm herself, then looked at Dustfoot, "I'm fine. Let's just, go back to camp, I need to rest."

Dustfoot let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when Snowheart sat up. "Thank Starclan..." He mewed quietly with a sigh. "Come on let's go back to camp..." He mewed to Snowheart. He was still worried for her, but she needed to get back to camp and rest. Dustfoot's limbs were still shaking a little, and he found it a bit difficult to walk.
Despite that drama, Dustfoot felt more secure with his position of Thunderclan Deputy. He walked back to camp feeling more confident, and no longer nervous.

Snowheart picked herself up, and wobbled a little, she was still getting used to walking with her increasing weight. She got up, and walked back to camp next to Dustfoot, she felt much better now. Although she still wanted to know what had happened before. She was content. But tired, hungry, and thirsty.
