The full moon hung high in the air, and the clearing was filled with the sounds of all cats meowing to each other.

On this night, the fact that they were from different clans didn't matter, they all talked as friends, not as cats who regularly got into disputes over borders, and what not.

"Attention cats of all clans!" a grey and white tom boomed out from his spot on the large rock.

All the cats in the clearing immediately stopped their chattering, and turned to face the cat, as well as the three other cats, who were sitting beside him.

Once the tom saw he had everyone's attention, he began once again.

"I think something should be done about-"

"About what Heronstar? We're not stealing prey again if that's what you think!" a reddish brown tabby tom spat.

"Don't interrupt a clan leader, Newtclaw!" another reddish brown tabby tom, this one sitting beside Heronstar, spat.

Heronstar nodded at the other leader, as Newtclaw hung his had shamefully, and muttered something under his breath.

"Thank you Claystar," he then cleared his throat, getting the attention of all the cats once again.

"As I was saying, I think there should be something done about all the disabled cats in the clan."

"What are you saying?" a white tom with grey-brown tabby patches gasped, "Are you suggesting we kick out all the disabled cats?"

"No Barkstar, not at all," Heronstar shook his head, "I'm thinking that there should be more roles in the clans, I mean, we only have two, warrior and medicine cat, and we can't very well make all disabled cats medicine cats, can we?"

"Of course not!" a brown tabby she-cat spat, "I wouldn't trust a blind cat to heal me!"

Barkstar narrowed his eyes, and turned to the other leader,

"So what you're saying Ivystar, is that you'd rather die, than be healed by blind cat?"

"Yeah! What if they accidentally give me deathberries instead of juniper berries or something?"

"Yeah, because it's not like they can't smell the difference or something," Barkstar muttered, rolling his eyes.

"Can't we just get on with it already?" Claystar groaned.

Heronstar nodded.

"Yes, back to the topic on paw, I think there should be more roles, like, maybe cats who can guard the camp entrance."

"But we already do that," Claystar pointed out.

"Yes, but it could be a specific role, for a specific cat, it'd allow the other warriors to get more sleep."

"That won't work," Ivystar spat, "A deaf cat won't hear anyone coming, a blind cat won't see them, and a lame cat won't be able to fend them off."

Barkstar let out a sigh.

"Oh yes, because deaf cats and blind cats have no other senses to alert them that someone is there."

"What about clan builders?" Claystar suggested.

"How is a disabled cat going to build anything?" Ivystar hissed.

"Actually, Whitefin is deaf, and he's one of the best builders we have," Heronstar meowed to Ivystar, before turning his attention to Claystar,

"That's a wonderful idea."

"I think we should all have time to think about new roles for the clans, before we make any rash decisions," Ivystar meowed.

"Yes, and we should discuss them with the rest of our clanmates, I want to know the opinion of everyone," Barkstar agreed.

"So, it's settled then? At the next gathering, we're decide whether or not to assign more roles, and what they'll be?"

All the cats nodded their agreements, even Ivystar.

"Alright, let's get to it then," Heronstar turned to face the crowd of cats, who were meowing amongst themselves, some sounding hopeful, others sounding anxious, even a few sounded angry, however, they all went silent, when Heronstar once again began to speak.

"Things are going swell in LakeClan, a new litter of kits was born to Duckface and Beavertooth."

Sitting on the ledge of the rock, beneath where Heronstar was standing, a dark brown tabby tom beamed proudly.

When he sat down, Ivystar stood.

"Things in HillClan are also good, Petuniakit has earned her apprentice name, and she has gotten Nightstorm as her mentor."

"Petuniapaw! Petuniapaw!" the cats in the clearing shouted out, even the cats who weren't from HillClan.

The next cat the stand up, was Claystar.

"Unlike LakeClan and HillClan, RockClan currently has no new kits, or no new apprentices," he let out a small sigh, "However, my mates, Frogthroat and Waspcloud, have joined the elder's den, so I guess it's not all stagnant."

When he sat down, Barkstar rose to his paws.

"Speaking of elders, my littermate, Logleap, joined the elder's den since the last gathering, oh, and other news, a litter of kits," he shook his head, "no, kit, there was only one, was born to Hollybark and Russetfox."

"One is better than none," Claystar mumbled, but he said no more, and Barkstar continued.

"Dovekit and Pigeonkit have become apprentices, and they've been assigned Mottledfur and Redbird as their mentors."

"It's about time Redbird got an apprentice!" Heronstar mrrowed good-humouredly, "I was barely out of the nursery, when he received his medicine cat name."

The black tom sitting on the ledge beneath Barkstar nodded.

"It surprised us too, we thought he was going to up and die without taking on an apprentice, leaving WoodClan without a medicine cat."

Beneath the black tom, a ginger tabby tom looked up.

"You know, I may be old, but I'm not deaf, I can hear you lot up there, I was waiting until the right cat came along to make them my apprentice."

"It's just a good thing he came along before it was too late," the WoodClan deputy meowed.

"So, are we all done here?" Beavertooth, "I'd really love to get home to my kits."

All the leaders exchanged glances.

"I have no more to say," Claystar meowed, rising to his paws.

Barkstar and Ivystar nodded their agreements.

"Alright then," Heronstar turned to the crowd, "This gathering is done, everyone go home, we will discuss assigning more roles at the next gathering!"
