Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors. Meep.

Don't worry. It isn't over. I want to conclude stuff more before ending it. And I'll be giving myself stuff to play with, come sequel time. You know, maybe romances, enemies, rogues, kittypets, kits, natural disasters, Twolegs, dogs, other animals, sickness, StarClan, habitat destruction, clan disappearance, clan-blending, mysterious mysteries, weather changes, starvation, animal control, I basically can work with anything I want. I just have to decide on something.

So, I'm letting you decide some of it! Got a request for something you want to see? Have a suggestion or clever idea? Send it in! You can help build the setting for TreeClan: the sequel!

Note: I don't guarantee I'll use your suggestion. So if I don't, don't think I hate you.

Chapter 21: Good News

Stripedtail ran into the apprentice den. Just that previous day, her best friend's mentor was killed by a bolt of lightning. But Stripedtail had news that might cheer her up.

"Yellowpaw! Come out here right now! Thinstar has called a meeting!"

Yellowpaw was napping. She got up, yawned, and trudged unenthusiastically out of the den without saying a word. She was still depressed over the loss of her mentor, Cloudynight.

"Cats of TreeClan," Thinstar addressed her clan. "I know we will not forget the tragedy that ended yesterday's battle for a long time, but now I have good news." She turned to Yellowpaw. "Yellowpaw, I would be assigning you a new mentor right now. However, I feel that due to the skills you presented yesterday in the heat of battle, you are ready to become a warrior."

Yellowpaw's head jerked up in surprise and her eyes widened. She walked over to the wide stump Thinstar was, unsure of what to do or say next.

"Are you willing to fight for TreeClan even if it means risking your life?" Thinstar asked Yellowpaw.

"Yes! I am!" Yellowpaw's blue eyes shone with pride.

"Then your warrior name shall be Yellowpelt."

"Yellowpelt…" she repeated happily.

The clan started chanting Yellowpelt's name over and over. Stripedtail looked around. Spikefur was jumping up and down in joy for his sister. Frecklepaw was among the loudest saying her name. Stripedtail could tell Yellowpelt was thoroughly happy; this what she was waiting for. After the chanting died down, Yellowpelt made her way through the crowd towards Stripedtail.

"And how does it feel?" Stripedtail asked Yellowpelt, smiling.

"It feels…fantastic! But…" Yellowpelt's happiness seemed to fade slightly. "I wish Cloudynight was here to see me now."

"Right now she's the proudest cat in StarClan. Trust me." Stripedtail assured her.

Aww, how corny.

Really though, I thought it was pretty predictable. I'm kind of disappointed in myself for doing that, actually. I should have made a twist.

SO, with that note, I am declaring TreeClan officially not over quite yet. I have to twist your brain, at least a little bit!
