A/N: Winter Games was never finished, hence Draft #1.

~Firegaze POV~

With a grunt, Firegaze weakly dragged herself closer to Dylan, yearning for the body heat of the older tom. It was leaf-bare, and unsurprisingly, it was freezing out. Too cold to want to do anything! Dylan seemed to notice her scooching closer to her, entwining his tail with her's. Firegaze let out a soft, quiet purr. At least I have Dylan to sleep next to. Yawning, Firegaze rested her muzzle on top of her paws, her body screaming at her to go to sleep. A sudden jerk at Firegaze's tail made her head snap up. What was-?! Whipping her head to see what had tugged at her tail, she saw Funnelpaw, one of the newest apprentices giggling at her. Thinks she can get away with pulling at my tail, huh?! Firegaze immediately scrambled to her paws, her legs itching for a chase. Funnelpaw rushed out of the apprentice's den, an expression of pure terror plastered onto her face. Oh, I'm not giving up on this! She raced out of the apprentice's den as well, set to find Funnelpaw.

"Firegaze!" yowled Dylan, his meow frustrated and irritated at the same time. Sorry Dylan, but this is necessary. Firegaze ran past Stone and Ivy, who were eyeing them with confusion upon their faces. Once Stone finds out what this was about I'm going to be so dead! Pouncing onto the brownish gray tabby apprentice, Firegaze glared at her as the tension between them grew.

She let out a faint hiss at Funnelpaw. "What part of your mind thought that was a good idea?!" She snapped, her neck fur bristling. Funnelpaw only smirked.

"I like being an annoyance," Funnelpaw declared with a smug grin on her face. Wipe that smug smile off your face! "Like you do, oh great SkyClan leader," Firegaze almost flinched at Funnelpaw's words. It was well known in the Clan that Firegaze had an ego, a big ego at that. But the only reason I have it is because I can't find anything I do good or amazing… Firegaze only got off of her, grumbling to herself. Even an apprentice has to point out how annoying I am! At least Dylan doesn't do that to me! Firegaze thought indignantly. Well, not all the time anyways… Funnelpaw only snickered, her light green eyes gleaming with excitement. "Wasn't that fun though?"

Firegaze snorted. "If by 'fun' you mean feeling incredibly groggy and tired because of a completely unnecessary morning chase, then yeah, that was fun," Her ears pricked up to the sound of pawsteps drawing near them. Please don't let it be Stone! With a pang of dread, Firegaze found her suspicions to be correct. Uuuuuuuugh-

Stone sighed, shaking his head. "Firegaze, you're a warrior now. You can't be chasing the new apprentices around camp every so often," Ivy, who'd just padded up to him nodded in agreement. She wrapped her tail with Stone's, purring loudly. Obvious much? Despite Stone and Ivy getting extremely close on the patrol to find Dove, they hadn't officially revealed that they were mates yet. And don't even get me started on the way they look at each other!

"It's not my fault that the warrior's den is uncomfortable and would be way more comfortable to sleep in if someone would just move to the nursery already!" snapped Firegaze, her eyes narrowed. Stone only looked at her in shock, while Ivy guiltily stared at her paws. "I'm not lying!"

Stone cast a sideways glance at Ivy. "Y-You're expecting…?" He asked, his voice a whisper. Ivy nodded, sighing to herself. "Mine?" She rolled her eyes, sarcastically shaking her head. "I'm taking that as a yes."

Ivy growled softly. "What we're getting at is that you shouldn't be chasing the newer apprentices just because you're angry with them. You're a grown warrior, and you need to act like one. I dread the day you ever become a mentor..."

Firegaze suppressed a hiss. "Well, I guess Violetstar will be making me a mentor anytime soon," She snapped, glowering her paws. Feeling her neck fur begin to fluff up, she only stalked away in the direction of the apprentice's den. "Just don't let it happen again." Funnelpaw only nodded, her light green eyes shimmering with guilt. Padding up to Dylan, she sat beside him, her fur brushing up against his. Firegaze sighed.

"Firegaze, you know I don't blame you for being upset with sleeping in the apprentice's den still. I am too," Dylan murmured softly. "But don't you think you're taking it a little bit too far? I mean, I get it. Funnelpaw is really annoying. Kinda like you."

Firegaze huffed. "I'm totally not like her at all," She growled. Dylan only chuckled, wrapping his tail around her haunches. Sighing to herself, Firegaze only cast her gaze up at Perched Rock. I wonder when Violetstar will make Hailkit and Dominic 'paws. To Firegaze's surprise, Violetstar padded onto the top of Perched Rock, her amber eyes lit up with excitement. What's mom so excited about? Making kits into apprentices can't be that exciting. Right?

"Cats of SkyClan, gather under Perched Rock for a special Clan meeting!" She yowled, her tail lashing. Firegaze padded closer to the rock alongside Dylan, her neck fur beginning to rise. I doubt this will be special or memorable.

~Funnelpaw POV~

Funnelpaw walked over to her mentor, Hazel. Hazel only sighed as Funnelpaw drew near, staring longingly at Perched Rock. Huh? What's wrong with Hazel? Funnelpaw lightly pawed Hazel's shoulder, her heart pounding. Will Hazel snap at me? Hopefully she won't. But what if she does?

"Yes, Funnelpaw?" murmured Hazel, her hazel eyes glazed with sorrow. I've never seen Hazel look so sad before…she must be really upset. Funnelpaw licked her mentor's shoulder.

She whispered, "What's wrong? You look upset." Hazel only sighed, her head hanging low. It must be really upsetting then! I don't want her to be so sad!

Hazel mumbled, "Sometimes I miss being deputy of SkyClan," Aw…I wish she could be deputy again. Why did she get demoted anyways? Funnelpaw felt Hazel's paws gently cuff her ears. "Now be quiet. Violetstar's trying to say something." Funnelpaw only grumbled in protest, her tail tip twitching irritably. Hazel didn't need to cuff me over the ears! I'm not some kit! A jolt of realization hit her once she remembered that she'd been made into an apprentice a few moons ago. But still!

Violetstar sat back on her haunches, raising her tail in the air for silence. Soon the crowd underneath the Perched Rock was hushed, and the pale gray and white tabby began speaking. "Today I have called you together an important Clan meeting!"
