Sandra walked into her apartment followed by Alex. She had just done one of her shows and the others had already left.

"That was a great show, Sandra," Alex commented. "Maybe one day you can see if you can do one big concert."

"I don't know about that. I'm far from that," Sandra replied.

"Come on! It'd be so cool!" Alex pressed.

"It would be cool, and fun," Sandra agreed. She just shrugged. "Well, if it happens, it happens. Whether it does or not it doesn't matter. I sing songs for people now and right now, one song is enough."

She then lied down on her bed and pulled up a Warriors book. "Let me guess. Reading another one over, right?" Alex guessed.

"Yep," Sandra answered.

"Have the Clans been doing ok since we left?" Alex asked.

"I guess so," Sandra answered, not sure if her answer was right.

"What's happened?" Alex asked.

"Well, Bramblepaw is now Brambleclaw and is the ThunderClan deputy. Ashpaw is Ashfur and now hunts with StarClan. Fernpaw is Ferncloud and is the most experienced nursery queen. She had a few litters of kits with Dustpelt. The Clans all moved to a lake. Firestar had kits with Sandstorm. Their daughters are Squirrelflight and Leafpool. Cinderpelt was killed by a badger. Leafpool had been her apprentice but she had kits with a tom from WindClan named Crowfeather so she was forced to resign as ThunderClan's medicine cat. Her son, Jayfeather took over. Her other two kits are Lionblaze and Hollyleaf. Longtail died and Mousefur moved to the elders den. A lot of cats have died, really."

"Ok, you can tell me the rest tomorrow," Alex said, stiffling a yawn. "I'm beat. Night, Sandra."

"Good night, Alex," Sandra said, turning out the lights. Both girls then drifted off into sleep.

Sandra opened her eyes to discover she was once again in her cat form, but she was still dreaming. She got up and looked around. A cat approached her. Sandra smiled as she reconized Bluestar. "Hi, Bluestar. I didn't expect to see you again. Is something wrong?" Sandra asked.

"Yes, Sandra, and StarClan must call on you and your friends once again," Bluestar replied.

"Is it Doji again?" Sandra asked, unsheathing and sheathing her claws.

"Yes, but he hasn't turned to living cats this time. He's turned to the Dark Forest. We need your help to get rid of him once and for all. Will you help is?" Bluestar explained.

Sandra nodded. "Of course. The Clan cats are my friends, and I'm not going to stand by while they're in danger."

Bluestar smiled. "Thank you. You and your friends will be sent there right away."

Sandra nodded as her dream faded away and she awoke in a forest. She tasted the air and could detect ThunderClan scent. Following it she tried to reach their camp but a growl stopped her. She looked up to see two ThunderClan cats. From the description in her book they were Bumblestripe and Toadstep.

"Get off our territory, rogue!" Toadstep growled.

"Look, I'm just looked for ThunderClan's camp," Sandra meowed.

"Why?" Bumblestripe asked.

"I wanted to visit some old friends," Sandra answered.

"Like we'd lead you into our camp based off of what you just said!" Toadstep growled, taking a menacing step forward. Sandra remained calm.

"Stand down," a voice ordered. Toadstep and Bumblestripe turned to see Brambleclaw coming up, a smile on his face. "She's a friend of ThunderClan from before you were born." He turned to Sandra. "I never expected to see you again."

"Nor I you," Sandra replied. "Would you mind taking me to your camp? I'd love to see how ThunderClan has been doing."

"Of course. I'm sure Firestar and everyone else that knew you will be glad to see you again," Brambleclaw meowed, turning to the other two. "Finish the patrol and head back to camp." Toadstep and Bumblestripe nodded, padding past Brambleclaw and Sandra and disappearing. Brambleclaw flicked his tail for her to follow him.

"While you were gone I got my warrior name. I'm Brambleclaw now," Brambleclaw meowed.

Sandra smiled. "Nice," she replied. She already knew but only Firestar knew that she knew everything that happened to them. "Any she-cat catch your eye yet?" she added, teasingly.

"No!" Brambleclaw replied quickly.

Sandra smiled with amusement. "Relax. I'm just joking around."

"I'm really glad you're back. You were a good friend when I was an apprentice," Brambleclaw meowed. He then led her through a tunnel and into ThunderClan's new camp. "Welcome to ThunderClan's new home."

Sandra gazed around the clearing, smiling when she saw Graystripe, Dustpelt, Sandstorm, Cloudtail, Brightheart, and everyone else she had once known.

Brambleclaw nudged her. "Come on. I'm sure Firestar wants to see you." Sandra nodded and followed him to Firestar's den. Brambleclaw called a greeting before leading Sandra inside.

"What is it Bramblec-" Firestar stopped when he saw Sandra. He smiled. "Well, I never expected this. Welcome, Sandra."

"It's good to see that you're doing so well, Firestar," Sandra replied, dipping her head in greeting.

"Are your other friends here?" Firestar asked.

"They're supposed to be somewhere here," Sandra answered.

"Brambleclaw, please go and find them," Firestar ordered.

Brambleclaw dipped his head. "Right away, Firestar." He trotted out of the den, leaving Firestar alone with Sandra.

"You do know about the threat we face, right?" Firestar questioned.

"Of course. And I also know about the prophecy about the three," Sandra replied. "Jayfeather, Lionblaze and Dovewing, right?"

Firestar nodded. "That's right. They're supposed to save us. Just a fair warning, though, be careful around Jayfeather. He'll figure out everything about you just by reading your thoughts."

Sandra laughed. "Trust me, I know. I also know that he has a temper. Just like another medicine cat I know."

"Yeah, he is similar to Yellowfang isn't he?" Firestar agreed, his eyes shining with amusement. "Are you staying here for awhile?"

"If you'll have me and my friends," Sandra answered.

"You're always welcome in ThunderClan," Firestar reminded her. Sandra smiled.

"Thanks, Firestar."
