Skycloud woke up early the next morning. He hunted and brought a vole into camp. Sprayheart watched him with wandering eyes. They caught him off-guard each and every sing time the glanced his way. Was it supposed to feel that way when you are in love? Maybe Stormpelt would know. Of course would, Skycloud though, remembering how Stormpelt had fallen in love with his mother.
Skycloud found Stormpelt close to the borders of Wind Clan and Thunder Clan. What was he doing? He seemed to be just looking into the forest. A pair of eyes appeared. Skycloud gasped. It was Firestar. What did he want? His place was with Thunder Clan, not bothering Wind Clan. Skycloud decided to interrupt. Whatever was going on, he wanted in on it. He forgot completely about asking his father about love.
He approached as though Firestar was another warrior of Wind Clan. "Dad, what does Firestar want?" He asked loudly as he came to stand beside Stormpelt. Stormpelt turned to see his son beside him. Firestar glanced down as well. "One of your Halfling kin I suppose?" Firestar asked curiously. "Halfling?" Skycloud said looking from Firestar to his father. "Yes Firestar. This is Skycloud; he is now a warrior of Wind Clan." Stormpelt said. Firestar nodded. "I need to speak to you, Tallstar, and Flareheart about your kits." Stormpelt sighed. "Firestar can't we just leave that matter in the past? Besides, Flareheart can't see you, she is in the nursery and will be having our second litter soon." Stormpelt replied irritably. "What does Firestar have to do with me, and Scruffpelt, and Flamefur?" Skycloud asked. Firestar looked down in interest. "You mean you do not know?" "Know what?" Skycloud asked cautiously. Firestar blinked in surprise. "Well, well, well, Stormpelt. So you and Flareheart haven't told them." "That is none of your concern, Firestar." Stormpelt replied angrily. Firestar nodded. "Take me to Tallstar; I have a proposition for him." Stormpelt nodded and beckoned for Firestar and Skycloud to follow.
In camp Firestar went into Tallstar's den. After a few minutes Tallstar called Stormpelt and Flareheart in. Only 5 minutes later Flareheart left the den, about to cry in remorse. Stormpelt looked angry but marched after her for comforting. Skycloud looked at the den where Firestar appeared looking quite satisfied. He nodded at Skycloud who walked over slowly. "What do you want, Firestar?" He spat his name out as if it were nothing but cat dung. Firestar smirked. "Welcome to Thunder Clan, Skycloud.
