Cloverstem paced outside the warriors den along with Sandfall, Brightwing and Willowpool. They were waiting for the tom's final decision, which they promised to tell them at sunset. It was a quarter moon since they had first told them about being their old selves, and a lot had happened. Grayfeather, Sparrowflight, Smoketail, and Leafwing had been made warriors, and Silverwing and Blazestrike's kits, Lichenkit and Skykit, were adventurous as ever. And Echoheart had moved into the nursery, pregnant with Oakfall's kits. Cloverstem paced outside, to be put to a halt by Sandfall's tail.

"They're coming." She muttered, and Cloverstem could only just work out the faint outline of their shadows entering the camp. The four she-cats lined up and shuffled together for support, this could become rough to handle.

"We've come to an agreement." Toadstep meowed gruffly once they had met them.

"And?" Brightcloud squeaked.

"And, we want more proof." Toadstep meowed.

"But we are willing to except it if Ivystar is." Snowstorm cut in.

"And we are happy to have you back." Dewfeather meowed, with his eyes glistening with happiness. Every cat was delighted, and they shared news and asked questions such as "where have you been?" And "why are you here?". Though they couldn't find a reasonable answer that didn't give away their big Twoleg secret, they still enjoyed eachothers company. Toadstep still remained suspicious, but it was fading and he seemed to be warming up to the idea that they were back, and were for real.

"So, I've been meaning to ask." Cloverstem meowed and all the cats around turned their heads to face her. "How have you been? How's ThunderClan been?"

"It's been great, no major battles,enough prey, nice weather. StarClan has been good to us." Foxleap answered. "But it's way better now, having you back, Cloversplash..." He licked her cheek before adding, "actually, it's been pretty boring, with nothing new happening. But I imagine with you back it'll liven things up again."

"By the way, I've been wondering, your names," Snowstorm meowed. "Sandfall, you were always Sandbreeze to me, then Sandstar. Are you going to just keep your new names?"

The four turned and looked at eachother. It was a topic they sure had discused a lot. Cloverstem missed being Cloversplash, but she didn't mind her new one. Names don't change the cat after all.

"Yes, I think we'll stick with the ones we have now, I guess." Sandfall meowed, shuffling closer to her old mate. Things were still a little awkward between all the mates because they didn't know where they stood. Were they mates again? Of course we are, Cloverstem scolded herself. But were they? I got a little awkward, with no cat talking and all of them absorbed in their own thoughts. Then, one by one, a couple left, finally only leaving Foxleap and Cloverstem.

"So, I guess we should get going then..." Cloverstem meowed after a couple heartbeats of awkward silence. She stood up and started to walk, expecting him to follow, but he remained where he was.

"What's up?" She asked, she was afraid for the answer. What if he said he didn't want to be her mate anymore? What if he found another cat that he liked better? What if he never liked her? Stop thinking those thoughts! She scolded herself, and managed to bring her paws back to where Foxleap still sat.

"Cloverstem, I loved you. I still do. I've missed you so much, seeing you now, I'm so confused. I just need to know one thing : do you still love me?" He murmured.

" I -" she began to answer only to be interrupted once more.

"Please be honest with me." He begged. "I'd rather be put down now then lied to only to discover you don't have feelings for me anymore."

"Foxleap if you'd have let me answer you, I would've told you that I love you, through thick in thin, no matter what!" She purred leaping for her mate.


Lichenkit and Skykit became Lichenpaw and Skypaw, a quater moon later, apprenticed to Coalpelt and Stormcloud. Ivystar made good choices for the two lively young cats. Lichenpaw was quiet and curious, attentive, and perfect for Stormcloud. Her brother Skypaw, was apprenticed to Coalpelt, suiting his hyperness and bouncyness. Coalpelt would make sure the young tom wouldn't get too reckless.

Cloverstem and Foxleap were excited to be mates once more, and spent very waking moment together, though the clan gave them wierd looks, as it was well known that Foxleap and Cloverstar were mates, some of the clan didn't approve of the 'change' in mates. As for the others, as far as Cloverstem knew, Sandfall and Snowstorm were together aswell, as were Willowpool and Dewfeather. Brightwing and Toadstep were going slower, to help Toadstep get a better realization as to what was happening, but they were all happy. Things were finaly going their way.
