Despite my rather cool attitude towards Whitepaw, I was simply stunned, I was honestly rather flattered he wanted to hang out with me. For the rest of the day I felt like my paws were buzzing. My suspicious sister was on my tail the whole day though.

Honestly Tsunamipaw really needed to learn how to mind her own business. I didn't even see the huge problem. My tail lashed emptily, my anger bouncing around before I settled on scratching a rock just to hear my claws scrape.

Dusk was approaching rapidly and the first stars danced in the sky. There was no moon tonight making them the only source of light. I turned my head to the crackling of the flat green bushes, out stepped my one and only littermate. "What did that rock ever do to you?" she meowed steadily staring back into my eyes.

I shrugged, glancing away. I was not in the mood for this. A stray thought popped into my mind, I wonder if that's how Hollywater thinks of me.

"I'm sorry about that earlier." she said finally, her words were distant though, distant as Sunclan's meadow. "But can you blame me for being suspicious, remember you and me, warriors of Moonclan! The best clan in the forest!"

I remembered our kithood vow. Still it seemed so far away now, we were only 2 moons old, and we had always dreamed of stalking our first mouse through the undergrowth or leaping high above to catch a colorful preening bird on a tree branch.

"Of course." I purred in response deciding not to mention how childish that all was, besides even if it wasn't just a vague promise spoken between two kittens, talking to Whitepaw was hardly a crime. I may have been young but I knew of the tragic tale of how our clans became the way they were. Not even several seasons ago the camps were joined, and it was only until recently they broke off most contact. It wasnt even an official rule, it was just an attempt to keep peace, but if they werent going to fight during their nightly escapees it was fine. "Hurricane and Tsunami, the unstoppable duo."

Before Tsunami could respond though 3 newly made apprentices chased after us, "Tsuuunnnammmipaw! You promised to help us set up my nest!" cooed Littlek-paw their ginger colored paw pawing mournfully at the nest material.

Squrrielkit popped up from behind him, her mouth full of azure feathers, she mumbled out something, "Rook eow ritty ese are!"

Tsunamipaw spoke fluent Squirrelkit with food in her mouth lanaguge. "Paw. Squirrelpaw." I reminded myself, when we had first become apprentices it felt odd to not have them beside us, we were raised together afterall, but now it just felt odd to have the same rank again.

Tsunamipaw gave a mrow of laughter. "Of course of course! Calm down, the sun hasn't even set yet."

Harepaw rubbed against me before looking up with big pleading eyes."Can you help me with my nest! I want shells." Squrrielpaw nodded eagerly.

"Its too late for shells." I replied, that wasnt me trying to get out of this either, the sun was dipping lower and lower in the sky draining the brilliant colored sunset from before. She could see Brushfall's brown tail and tall silhouette standing guard at the camp entrance. "In the dark you can't see where they are."

Tsunamipaw nudged me and shook her head. I shot her a confused glance, was that not true? A mischievous smirk graced her fluffy features and she rested a paw near her chin. "Well… that technically is true, but… there are always other nests with shells in them."

Oh dear. Everyone cheered. I sat contemplating my life decisions. I was about to be dragged into a cheap budget heist.

It went down something like this. Tsunamipaw gathered us all up and made a circle in the dirt with her claw. Vaguely positioning us with rocks. I didn't really care much for this plan, mostly because I was going to be the one who would get my ears clawed off. With lots and lots of revisions, my role was the distraction.

Their reasoning was that Hollywater and Shrewfox had to constantly put up with me and were my mentors, well Hollywater was, they would be more eager to repirmeand me than anyone else. A polite way of saying they despised my existence. Meanwhile Squrrielpaw would serve as a distraction to everyone else in the den. Then Tsunamipaw and our brothers would run in and steal all the shells they could carry, minus Hollywater's and Shrewfox's if they had shells, I would be in trouble enough already!

It was a pretty dumb plan. But I went along, because of the magic of teamwork, happiness, joy, or whatever.

I went over to the black mollie who was currently sharing tongues with Dustlear, my reputation was going to be ruined forever, I dipped my head in respect that I didn't feel. "Hello Hollywater, have you seen Shrewfox? I have something very important to tell him."

Shrewfox hopped down from a rock in the center of camp. "Yes, Hurricanepaw?" I glanced away before speaking, "Shrewfox, I am in love with a Sunclan warrior. Help.."

Nobody knew what to say. This was Tsunamipaw's fault.

Hollywater exclaimed standing up, "What!? When!? Who!?"

I flattened my ears and gave a sheepish shrug, "I met Spirithop, they changed my whole outlook on life."

Now I was getting disgusted looks. My paws shifted subconsciously. It wasn't even that bad of a crime, I liked him so what. Well I said I liked him. Sure it was shocking and we were technically rivals, but it wasnt that big of a deal was it? I never fully understood the whole rivalry thing. Sun and Moon didn't like each other so they decided to make it everyone's problem. Who cared? Me and

My Mother walked over from her place by the bramble wall, looking incredibly concerned, "Uh, Hurricanepaw, that's my brother."

Okay then. Plotwist.

Oh. Oh! OH! OH!

It sunk in. I was never going to live this down. What in the name of the spirits above?!

I was sure my fur was fluffed out like a thistle and my eyes more like an owls than a cat."Sorry what?"

"You heard me." she responded, "Spirithop is my brother…"

Tsunamipaw stuck her black nose out of the warriors den, everyone else had too much to question to care, or see my other mischievous siblings dart off. Squrrielpaw burst out next and started laughing her head off. "Hehehe, Hurricanepaw likes her uncle!"

Family in Sunclan? Why had I never heard about this!? I had always thought of Sunclan as a rival entity, it always felt like that. We barely interacted, even though they often said that the Schism was barely a generation ago it just never popped into my mind. An uncle? Kin? Could me and Whitepaw be related? Did I have cousins? My head was spinning.

"Hey Hurricane, Hurricane! Hurricane! I was joking!" said Squrrielkit her voice growing more concerned. I forced a laugh it was fine.

"Hehe just wanted to make a joke!" I said with a shrug, it was fine, absolutely fine. I was fine. Of course I was.

My clanmates were hissing like snakes in the grass, I had a particular fear of snake's hissing and shrunk backwards just to be caught by a thick bramble wall."It's not something to joke about!" came a cry of outrage from

Shadestream pitched in his voice with flattened ears, "Ivyheart your kits have always been trouble! Get them under control! Especially her!"

Dustleaf nodded along, with a scoff, "Yeah, she's old enough to know not to speak of that clan! Hurricanepaw is always getting into trouble, and she never gets punished!"

I tried to smooth my fur against all the accusations, this wasnt fair! They hardly even spoke of Sunclan! How was I supposed to know? It wasnt even my idea and even if it was this didnt seem fair!

Then another cat broke into the argument, Poppylight, I had never been particularly close friends with her or her kits but I was grateful for the levelheaded red queen to butt in, "They aren't all bad! Some can be quite nice."

Shadestream looked away with a distasteful look muttering out the side of his mouth, "Of course the one who named her kit after the leader of Sunclan would believe that, you only came here because your boyfriend came here! It wasnt for a noble cause or-

Daisydawn, her friend, shoved past Shadestream, her golden tail flicking in annoyance, "You still had fluff behind your ears when the last battle happened, you have no say in this. Be respectful." Her green eyes held him in a deathstare and in response Shadestream unsheathed his claws.

If they got in a fight I bet Daisydawn would win, she was a sweet slightly mischievous cat but she was fast as lightning and an experienced fighter. It never came to that though. Brightnose was down in a split second, scrambling down the rocks, Ashstar not far behind. Ashstar was levelheaded like Poppylight while Brightnose was more impulsive. As my Father said, "They leveled each other out."

Ashstar spoke with authority, drawing the attention of the camp, "Cats of my clan. I am sorely disappointed in all of you. Your conduct as been atrocious, fighting amongst each other! How can you even call yourself Moonclan?"

Their eyes cast down upon me, "Even with problematic cats such as these we cannot allow them to irritate all of us. We are to be as strong as the moon above, we slink in the shadows, silent as a ghost's whisper." I felt my pelt burn in shame, this didnt seem fine, I wasnt the easiest cat to be around I knew that, but still, I made a mistake. Would a sorry change this?

"You though." they continued, "Your grown cats! At least try to set an example. Hurricanepaw will be sitting vigil tonight. Now the real question is what should I do with all of you? Put you on tick duty like a bunch of wayward apprentices!? Honestly, answer me."

I wouldn't hear more of this. I brushed past my classmates to the front of the camp, I wish I never spoke. My pelt felt hot with a mix of shame and a feeling of injustice. Tsunamipaw just stood there by the warriors den like stunned prey. It was always my fault, maybe it truly was but it would be nice for someone to try to explain, all she felt was alienated from my clan. As the camp slowly fell silent I could not stop thinking about how darn peaceful it would be with Whitepaw tomorrow.

Wait that was it!
