la la! Now you know, i'm the one who writes notes...lol...well, sorry, on to the story!
"Why don't you three get some food?" Pearlstar asked. Goldenpaw gaped clearly and finally Aquapaw found enough courage to stutter out heavily "W-well...we w-were um...th-thinking-ing uh...um..."
"Then it's settled, we'll be back before the Gathering." Shadowleaf announced dipping his head in respect. Goldenpaw shivered and stifled a groan as they trudged into the forest.
Aquapaw was in a worse condition, she was quivering and muttering with fear under her breath. Goldenpaw looked up at the sky, it was a golden orb of a sun dipped into purple, pink, and pale orange with sky blue over the colors.
Just gazing at the beautiful scenary made her feel happier, Aquapaw noticed, and glanced at the setting sun too, both let out a sigh of wonder. Goldenpaw thought she heard someone behind her whisper something.
Goldenpaw spun around, only to be greeted by nothing, nothing but air and nature, no one was there at all. "Stop day-dreaming you two!" Shadowleaf barked in his usual commanidng voice.
Goldenpaw reluctantly turned her attention back to the shady colored back of their mentor, hoping the time would soon pass. But she did not find it very swift at all.
Goldenpaw dug up an earthworm, collected some fat, scarlet clumpberries and brought it to Shadowleaf who was eyeing her suspiciously. Aquapaw soon came with more loads of prey then she had, but in a nervous wreck.

Goldenpaw nibbled a cricket and sighed with satisfaction, Shadowleaf didn't do anything very suspicious at all, and the warm juice of the meaty bug seeped into her tongue slowly filling her taste buds.
She had added a crushed butterfly's body to have extra taste and she couldn't help but feel happy at that moment. Everything was peaceful as she watched the twinkling, shining stars that glowed in the night.
Goldenpaw nudged her moss the way she liked it and plopped inside letting a small yawn escape her jaws. Firetail stood nearby, glancing up slightly with a small worried glint in his eyes.
Blackpaw mumbled nearby, "Why did Shadowleaf go? Why would they choose him over Firetail?" Goldenpaw shrugged but squeaked with a jubilee hint, "I don't know, but isn't it nice to have Firetail around?"
Blackpaw bobbed his head up and down, "Well that's for sure!" Aquapaw shushed him, "If Pearlstar hears us we'll be in trouble." Aquapaw agreed, so they stayed there silent for a moment.
"Why didn't we get to go?" Goldenpaw asked blinking away sleep from her eyes, "When Ashpaw and Blazingpaw went?" Blackpaw shook his head in the same bewilderment,
"I don't know." Boredom passed through their minds until Blackpaw fell fast asleep. More silence dragged on, "Aquapaw...can you tell me about Gatherings, and the Clans?"
Aquapaw nodded kindly, "I'd be happy to."
