Here it is! ENJOY!
Tigerpaw gasped and ran forward. "Darkstream?"
The dark tabby froze. "Tigerpaw?"
"Why?" Tigerpaw whispered. "Why?" She cuffed the earth with her paws.
"I'm sorry," he whispered.
"Me, too," Ferntooth murmured. "But I can't stop the fact that I'm expecting your kits, Darkstream."
"Please don't tell Snowstar," Darkstream meowed.
"I won't," Tigerpaw replied. "See ya." She padded away, confused. Darkstream was breaking the warrior code? Why?
"You okay?" Patchypaw asked. Tigerpelt had decided to stay at camp just in case something happened to Windytail while the Clan was at the gathering.
"You look sick," Blaziepaw murmured.
"I'm fine," Tigerpaw mewed. "Really, I am."
"Ok…" Patchypaw mewed while Blaziepaw hollered, "CHARGE!" and ran off to see an apprentice. Patchypaw shook his head and followed his active sister. Tigerpaw chuckled.
"Hey, Tigerpaw." Mousepaw joined her. "What's happenin'?"
"Nothing really," replied Tigerpaw, flicking her tail. "Apart from the fact that I'M SO BORED I COULD SNUFF IT!"
"Now I'm bored too," Mousepaw yawned. "You're always bored."
"Am not," Tigerpaw mewed. "I want a swim." Mousepaw rolled her eyes.
"You always want to swim," Mousepaw mewed.
"That I do," Tigerpaw meowed. "That I do."
"And you're never calm," teased Mousepaw.
"Nope," Tigerpaw replied.
"I'm Sunpaw." A golden colored tom sat down beside them. "I'm from ThunderClan." He had piercing ice blue eyes. Little did Tigerpaw know, Ghostface was watching Sunpaw.
"I'm Tigerpaw and this is Mousepaw," Tigerpaw mewed. "We're in RiverClan."
"I'm pleased to meet you," Sunpaw meowed.
"How long have you been made an apprentice, Sunpaw?" asked Mousepaw.
Sunpaw shrugged. "About 4 moons now." Ghostface couldn't sit there any longer. He stood up and padded to Tigerpaw and Mousepaw, watching Sunpaw suspiciously.
"Hi, you two," he meowed.
Sunpaw's eyes narrowed. "Ghostpaw!"
"Actually," Ghostface mewed coldly, "I'm Ghostface."
"I bet you still act like an apprentice," Sunpaw hissed.
"You're just mad that I beat you," Ghostface snapped.
"You cheated!" Sunpaw growled.
"How do you cheat in battle?" laughed Ghostface. Sunpaw hissed at him angrily.
"Now you want my friends to yourself!" Sunpaw hissed.
"Grow up," Ghostface sighed, with a bored expression. "Honestly, I know them. I grew up with them. You're just mad because Tigerpelt turned you down."
"So Tigerpaw is a warrior now?" Sunpaw purred. "I bet he deserves it unlike you." Snowstar yowled to get the gathering started, which was lucky, because Sunpaw and Ghostface looked ready to kill each other.
"Who would like to begin?" Snowstar asked.
Autumnstar stepped forward. "I will. ThunderClan are thriving. Twirlwind was recently made a warrior and Mysticspirit has just given birth to a fine litter. I would also like to ask Smokestar a serious question." She turned to Smokestar, the ShadowClan leader. "Why did you attack our camp?" Murmurs filled the crowd and ShadowClan cats held their heads high.
"You refused to give us part of your territory when we asked," Smokestar hissed.
"Why should we have? You were completely unreasonable! You killed one of our queens and now her kits are starving! We were lucky that Mysticspirit had extra milk!" Smokestar turned away and Autumnstar stepped back.
"I'll go." Blizzardstar stepped forward. "Our medicine cat, Jaywind, has died of greeencough. He refused to stop healing the sick cats in our Clan to save himself and, as a result, he died. We will always remember him and now his apprentice, Icepath, will take his place." Yowls filled the clearing. Jaywind had been popular among the cats. "We have a new litter of kits and an apprentice who will soon be a warrior." He stepped back.
Smokestar stepped forward. "We have a new litter of kits and a new apprentice, Darkpaw." Tigerpaw looked around then saw a dark brown tom sitting with his head held high. Darkpaw, she thought. "We also have a new warrior, Twigfoot." He stepped back.
Finally, Snowstar stepped forward. "Tigerpelt and Ghostface are now warriors and we have a new queen, Windytail, whose kits are expected soon. Also, Blaziepaw and Patchypaw were just apprenticed recently." He stepped back and the Gathering was dismissed.
"Bye, Mousepaw. Bye, Tigerpaw," Sunpaw mewed, padding after his Clan.
"Bye," Mousepaw and Tigerpaw mewed back. Tigerpaw turned to Mousepaw.
"Come on," she mewed. They padded towards Darkpaw. He turned around to look at them. "Hi," Tigerpaw and Mousepaw mewed.
"Hello," he meowed. "I'm Darkpaw."
"I'm Tigerpaw and this is Mousepaw," Tigerpaw greeted. Darkpaw grinned and dipped his head.
"Darkpaw!" called a gray warrior. "Let's go."
"That's Graywind," Darkpaw mewed. "She's my mentor." He ran off to join his Clan.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tigerpaw walked along side her Clan towards camp. She heard pitiful mewling and stopped walking, aware that Ghostface had stopped and walked over to her. Tigerpaw pushed her nose through the reeds and came face to face with a tortoiseshell she-cat kit. The kit pushed its nose to Tigerpaw, examining her. Then the kit sat back down, as if she knew Tigerpaw wasn't a threat.
"Woah," whispered Ghostface. Tigerpaw grabbed the kit by the scruff and padded to Snowstar with her.
"What," hissed Snowstar, "is that?"
"A kit," Tigerpaw snapped. "I knew you were stupid but I didn't know you were blind." Ghostface stared at Tigerpaw and Lionheart stifled a groan. "Can we take care of her?"
"Only," Snowstar smirked, "if you give up your warrior ceremony for it. You will stay an apprentice until you become an elder if you take that kit in camp but we will care for it." Ghostface's eyes widened and he stared at Tigerpaw. Lionheart looked stunned.
"I-I," Tigerpaw stuttered.
"NO TIGYPAW!" Blaziepaw and Patchypaw squealed. Tigerpaw pictured Blaziepaw or Patchypaw abandoned and alone and knew what to do. "I will." Ghostface closed his eyes and Lionheart shook his head in disbelief. "While I'm here, no kit will die because they're abandoned."
"Very well," Snowstar mewed, coldly. Tigerpelt raced to them.
"Thank StarClan you're back!" he cried.
"Why?" Darkstream asked.
"Let's put it this way," Tigerpelt mewed. "I'm a father!"
