(on River Clan territory)

Switzerland screamed into the moss for a good long time while the two medicine cats gave him some weird stares. He finally stopped and got up, a look of absolute contempt on his face. France really was dead this time. The last thing Switzerland wanted was to be stuck in a place, away from Liechtenstein, where everyone thought he was crazy.

"Uuhhhh….What was that about?!" Willowshine said after a short silence.

Switzerland just sighed and said, "Nothing." The two medicine cats shared a look, believing their work would be cut out for them trying to make this cat sane again. Soon they heard Leopardstar calling all the cats out for a meeting. She stood on top of a small boulder in the camp.

"Cats of Riverclan," she announced, "I have decided to let these outsiders join the clan." There were gasps from the crowd of cats and murmuring began sweeping through the crowd.

"But Leopardstar, we know nothing about these cats!" One cat protested, "They don't know how to fish so they may just end up being extra mouths to feed! We can't afford that, especially now!" Others agreed with the cat. Even Switzerland had to agree with that cat, he had a good point

"yeah! And one of them is crazy!" Another said.

"HEY! I HEARD THAT!" Switzerland yelled in the general direction of the speaker.

"QUIET!" She shouted, "River Clan needs more warriors to protect what little prey we have now. The other clans see us weakening every passing day! These cats are strong and can help defend us. They have generously offered their help and they WILL join the clan!"

Switzerland couldn't help but wonder what made her change her mind about them so quickly. Only about thirty minutes ago she was treating them like outcast or those who had committed a great crime, and now she was defending them with all her power! She was happily prepared to throw them out, and now she wants them to stay! She didn't seem the type to change her mind easily, either.

"And out of respect of them so generously offering their services," she said glancing at France, smiling for a second before looking back over the crowd with a serious face, " I am allowing them to keep their current names." There were several gasps of shock and protest.

None of the clan cats could comprehend why their leader would do this. Switzerland on the other hand-er PAW-, finally understood. He nearly face-pawed for not realizing it earlier. The whole reason she was being so nice to them: France infatuated her. France had used his power of charm to get her to do what he wanted. Switzerland shook his head. 'If only she knew what France was really like!' he thought.

"QUIET! ALL OF YOU!" Leopardstar shouted again, "They are keeping their names and that is final! Now, Tomorrow I will assign a patrol to teach them how to fish and see how well their fighting abilities are." She leapt down from the boulder and walked off to her den. The crowd slowly dispersed.

Switzeland decided to walk around the camp to find out where each den and structure was. When he came to the nursery, he saw a little white she cat kit with large green eyes peaking out from the den entrance. He looked at the kit and smiled sadly. The little kit reminded him of his little sister. 'I hope she's ok…' he thought to himself.

(on the mountains the next morning)

Sweden shook Finland till he woke. Finland opened his eyes slowly; still a bit tired from all the walking the other day, and staying up late didn't help. He looked around to see that most of the cats in the cave were already up and about. An old cat walked up to them.

"Good, you're up." he said, " I am Stoneteller the leader of the tribe of rushing water, and I believe you have some things to explain." He gestured for them to follow and they did. The tribe gathered around the mouth of the waterfall. Stoneteller began to speak again, "My first question to you is simple: since you are not here to steal prey, why were you on the mountain?"

" We were lost, looking for some friends whom we were separated from." Finland said. It wasn't a lie, they were lost, and they were looking to see if any of the other countries were around.

"No other reason?" Stoneteller asked.

"N'n" Sweden said. Stoneteller was about to speak again, when several tribe cats came running towards them. A few others were trailing behind.

"Soneteller, we were just beginning our patrol when we found remains of prey on our territory, and the stench of the outsiders was all over it! They've crossed our territory again and that's not all-" The cat said, but was interrupted by Stoneteller.

"WHAT?! Again? Why do they continue this disrespect?" Stoneteller questioned obviously outraged, to angry to see the cat was trying again to get his attention.

Finalnd looked puzzled. " Umm…Who are these Outsiders you keep talking about?" He said.

"They're a group of wild cats that came to this mountain several moons ago, and they continue to steal prey from us, which prey is very hard to find around here." Stormtail explained to Finland and Sweden.

"That's cruel!" Finland exclaimed. He felt bad for them and thought about what he could do to help (As Santa Clause, he's naturally generous). His face lit up when he got an idea. He turned to Stoneteller who was pacing angrily and said, " Excuse me, Mr. Stoneteller?"

"What?" Stoneteller snapped.

"Well I was thinking, since my companion and I might not be leaving soon, we could help you with your problem." Finland said. Stoneteller gave him a curious look. Finland continued, " You see, we are fairly skilled fighters, Sweden here has even been know to scare off armies! Anyways, what I mean is, we can help protect your prey, or at least help with hunting."

Stoneteller thought for a second. " Very well," he said, "Help in these times would be useful, but you must be willing to follow our traditions."

"Don't worry Sr., we can! Right Sweden?" Finland responded.

Sweden turned his head towards Finland, shrugged and said," Ya, s're f'ne." Finland smiled and Stoneteller nodded in approval.

The cat that had been trying to get Stoneteller's attention spoke up again. "Stoneteller!" he said, "There's something else that you need to know."

Everyone turned toward the cat. "What is it?" Stoneteller asked.

'When we were heading back to tell you, we found this strange cat." He said moving out of the way so people could see the cat. It was a small, skinny brown cat with geen eyes and cream on his muzzle who was looking around nervously. The fur on the underside of his tail was longer, and so was the fur near his cheeks. It reminded Finland of a certain country he knew. In fact, maybe it was said country.

"Lithuania?" Finland asked tilting his head to the side.

The cat turned his head towards Finland, surprised someone in this group of strangers knew him. "Finland?!" he asked recognizing the voice.
