Tumblepaw/Ashfur pov
Tumblepaw padded along the streets of two-leg place, he didn't know how he was going to find the jewelry shop, as Sootpaw called it. According to his brother, a wedding ring was a symbol of love and matehood. Tumblepaw ran along a sidewalk scanning for a sparkling building, he spotted it on the other side of the street. he lunged forward and almost got hit by a monster.
"HOLY CHEESE!" he screamed and ducked down, the monster ran over him. he bounded quickly to the other side of the thunderpath. the sparkling building was sparkling. he sniffed the door, it was seethrough, he had heard of doors like these, twolegs also made smaller ones. he pushed on the door lightly, he pushed harder, it slid open just enough for Tumblepaw to creep in. with all the stealth he could muster he crept along the den, he tripped over a white vine and a loud smash followed. Tumblepaw winced.
"OI!" a two-leg shouted and rushed over to Tumblepaw, he dodged and bouned to the door, he saw a reflection. a sparkling rack filled with wedding rings. Tumblepaw sighed and turned around, eyes on the rack he ran through the two-legs legs and leaped on to a bench covered in loops of some tiny sparkes he raced along it and his paws caught on all the loops they wrapped around his legs and slowed him down. Tumblepaw leaped off the bench and onto the rack, the two-leg was rushing over to him. Tumble paw grabbed the closest thing to slow it down, he chucked ring after ring at the two-leg. he grabbed the last ring. it was beautiful, a large sparkling stone sat on a hoop that would fit around a small paw. he popped it in his mouth for safe carrying and flung himself at the two-legs head. he scrambled to stay standing, he leaped off the head and onto the floor he rushed to the door and shoved it open just enough to get out. Tumblepaw heard a loud smack follow him, he turned around to see the two-leg had run into the door.
"hehe," Tumblepaw said and poked his tongue out then padded off back to camp.
back at camp, everyone seemed happier than in the morning, they had caught up on sleep. Foxleap lay on the floor, he had passed out with exhaustion. Sootpaw sat by a puddle gazing at himself in his new sweet shades. Tumblepaw took the ring out of his mouth and rushed over to Sootpaw.
"You got it!" Sootpaw said surprised, "I thought they'd kill you," Sootpaw admitted, Tumblepaw shrugged and washed the ring in the puddle, "what are you wearing?" Sootpaw asked staring down at Tumblepaws paws, the hoops were still wrapped around them.
"Um I don't know," Tumblepaw said.
"they're called necklaces," Sootpaw said, Tumblepw frowned.
"if you knew why did you ask? you're wasting my time!" he snapped and padded off to find his one love so he could give her the ring that symbolized love and matehood.
"BRIGHTHEART!" Tumblepaw shouted bounding to her side, she smiled awkwardly at him.
"hi," she said and turned to walk away.
"WAIT!" Tumblepaw screamed, Brightheart turned back to look at him, Tumblepaw took a deep breath and got down on one knee, "Brightheart, you are amazing, wonderful cat, Will you marry me?" he asked holding out the ring, Brightheart stared wide-eyed.
"I have a MATE!" she said in shock, Tumblepaw glanced at her then to Cloudtail who stood beside her.
"what?" Tumblepaw gasped and got off his knee and held the ring close. Brightheart nodded.
"I have a mate, and kits, and grand kits, and great grand kits, YOU are my great grand kit!" Brightheart said, but Tumblepaw wasn't listening, he was glaring at Cloudtail.
this is his fault, I will get my revenge.
Honeypaw/Yellowfang pov
Honeypaw smiled, tonight was the gathering, thanks to her, she and all her siblings would be going, she padded over to Bramble star and smiled.
"hi!" she said, he smiled back and waved a paw.
"hi Honeypaw, how can I help you?" he asked.
"well I would love to go to the gathering and I wanted to know if I and my siblings are going?" she said with a sweet smile.
"yes you are," Bramblestar said in a controlled dead voice, Honeypaw smirked.
"good," she hissed and padded off, Bramblestar watched her go, his mate watched from a corner.
"she got you wrapped around her whisker!" Squirrelflight said Bramblestar looked at her.
"who does?" he asked confused, Squirrelflight sighed.
"never mind," she said and padded off.
Honeypaw bounded over to her littermates, she smiled. Tumblepaw sat tense, Sootpaw was playing with his shades and Frostpaw was cleaning herself.
"we're going to the gathering," she said happily and the others smiled.
"REALLY!" Tumblepaw said looking way happy then three seconds ago, Sootpaw nodded calmly.
"I can show off my shades!" he said, Frostpaw looked them confused.
"um, the clans are weird, the gathering might possibly be dangerous!" she said, her siblings shrugged.
"probably, but who cares?" Sootpaw said. Tumblepaw nodded.
"perfect chance to meet hot chicks!" he said, Frostpaw shook her head.
"that is against the warrior code!" she hissed Honeypaw rolled her eyes.
"has that ever stopped anyone? I mean, nothing happens if you do fall in love and have kits with a cat from another clan! there is no punishment!" she ranted, Ivypool snorted as she padded past.
"tell that to Mapleshade!" she laughed, Foxleap padded after her, he looked tired. Honeypaw nodded.
"well we're going, we must get ready! Tumblepaw, I need one of your necklaces," she commanded, holding out a paw, Tumblepaw shook his head.
"no way! I'm gonna be doing some trading with the other clans!" he hissed and padded off before Honeypaw could change his mind.
"Honeypaw!" Squirrelflight called and bounded over to her, "you are coming with me for border patrol!" she commanded, Honeypaw sighed and nodded.
"anyone else?" she asked, Squirrelflight shook her head.
"Just you and me! some mentor and apprentice bonding time!" she said, Mousewhisker stuck his head out of the warrior den.
"did someone say bonding?" he asked, Squirrelflight gulped.
"we're leaving!" she yowled and her and Honeypaw ran out of camp leaving the rest to deal with the tom. the borders were quiet and normal, except for Shadowclan, they meet them.
"Hello, murders!" Grassheart sneered, Tawnypelt rolled her eyes at him, Dovewing was also in the Shadowclan patrol. "what a pretty kit!" Grassheart snapped trying to be insulting, Honeypaw snarled.
"I'm an apprentice!" she hissed unsheathing her claws, Grassheart sneered.
"Oh, sorry you're just so tiny and beautiful," he sighed and gave up insulting the perfect she-cat. Squirrelflight smiled at Dovewing.
"hi," she said bitterly, Dovewing smirked.
"hi," she said, "this is my apprentice Hawkpaw!" she said and pushed her apprentice forward, Squirrelflight smirked.
"this is my apprentice! Honeypaw," she said and shoved Honeypaw forward, Honeypaw stared into Hawkpaws eyes, he was handsome and perfect, almost as perfect as herself. he stared back at her. the two blushed and looked away, then looked back and blushed and looked away, then looked back and looked away. noticing this huge sign of love at first sight, Squirrelflight and Dovewing pulled their apprentices back, accidentally taking the others apprentice, the two quickly swapped the perfect cats and padded off.
"you must never talk to that cat again!" Squirrelflight hissed, Honeypaw nodded, she smirked. they hadn't talked just creepily stared at each other in silence.
Sootpaw/Goosefeather pov
the walk to the gathering was chaotic. first, Littlekit almost managed to smuggle herself out of camp by hiding in Lionblazes fur, then Bramblestar fell into the Windclan stream and almost drowned, and after that, Spiderleg tried to catch a rabbit and ended up knocking himself unconscious, and had to be carried back to camp by Blossomfall and Brackenfur, and then Cinderheart appeared, even though Jayfeather had confined her to camp, Bramblestar fell of the tree bridge and almost drowned again. All in all, Sootpaw thought it was quite an uneventful walk. by the time they got to the island, most of Thunderclan was sick of each other and drifted off to talk to Windclan and Riverclan, who were already there. Sootpaw found himself standing beside Tumblepaw, who nudged him and nodded towards Honeypaw, who was staring at the tree bridge, looking hopeful.
'what's up with her?" Tumblepaw said.
"On the border patrol this afternoon she fell in love with a ShadowClan apprentice called Hawkpaw who is the apprentice of Dovewing and put off his apprentice ceremony to be with his brother who had a sprained paw until a few days ago called Stormypaw whos mentor is Tigerstar and his father died in a fox attack three days before they where born," Sootpaw said in one breath. Tumblepaw looks impressed.
"Um, okay. well, gotta go, lot's of cute she-cats to court!" Tumblepaw said and bounded away to a group of Riverclan apprentices. Sootpaw wondered if he should tell him they were very protective siblings.
"Hi." a small nervous voice mewed from behind him. Sootpaw turned to glare at a scrawny Windclan tom. the apprentice seemed to wither even further beneath Sootpaw.
"What do you want?" Sootpaw said in his most deep and manly voice.
"nothing... I just wanted to say hi." he squeaked. Sootpaw decided to be nice to this cowardly cat.
"Bow at my feet and we can talk," Sootpaw said with a smile that probably looked more like a grimace. the Windclan Apprentice looked shocked. before he could bow Shadowclan rushed into the hollow and carried the Windclan tom away.
"HELP!" he screamed, Tigerstar bounded onto the great oak and called the meeting to a start.
Frostpaw/Rainflower pov
"HEY, I WANTED TO START THE GATHERING!" Bramblestar screamed and clawed his way onto the same branch as Tigerstar.
"why?" he asked, Bramblestar huffed as though it was obvious.
"because I'm the best leader duh," he said, Tigerstar glared at him.
"no I am!" he hissed, Bramblestar glared back at the tom. the two hissed. Onestar grinned at the tension.
"it looks like we're about to have a who's the best LEADER competition!" he shouted, everyone starting screaming there heads off, Frostpaw sighed.
"Bramblestars gonna die!" she groaned, it was very likely, Tigerstar was younger, smarter, better looking, and stronger.
"BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THEM!" Dovewing shouted bouncing up and down with excitement, Mistystar was doing some hardcore warmups when the apprentices gave her a back rub and some prey. Blossomfall nodded.
"especially cause we run out of our secret weapon!" she hissed glaring at Bramblestar. Squirrelflight was shouting in his face things like.
"YOU ARE READY FOR THIS YOU WILL BET THEM!" he didn't look like he was listening, he was more scared of her. Frostpaw covered her eyes.
"I can't look!" she squeaked, Blossomfall grabbed her paws and yanked them away from her face.
"yes you will weakling!" she hissed, Frostpaw nodded, as she did a Shadowclan tom darted past her, he had a twisted paw. Frostpaw wrinkled her nose in disgust. cats like that shouldn't be warriors! she thought and turned up her nose, the tom glared at her and bounded over to his leader who was practicing his victory dance.
"why are you even here? I thought you were taking Spiderleg back to camp," Frostpaw asked frowning at Blossomfall, she rolled her eyes.
"have you forgotten who you're talking to?" she snorted, Frostpaw shook her head and padded off, Blossomfall grabbed Frostpaw's tail in her jaws and pulled her back.
"you aren't going anywhere!" she sneered and sat on the young cat to make sure she couldn't escape. Frostpaw nodded and stared up at the leaders.
"first up. tree ninja battle," Onestar shouted, he never competed either because he knew he'd lose unlike Bramblestar, or because he liked being the announcer. Mistystar smiled.
"you won't bet me now tree livers! I've been practicing!" she sneered in the other leader's faces, Tigerstar shrugged. all the stories Frostpaw had heard about Mistystar she had expected her to be much more reasonable.
"is she like this all the time?" she asked Blossomfall, she shook her head.
"Nope, just on best leader comps," She said, Frostpaw nodded.
"let part one, BEGIN!" Onestar shouted, dropping a piece of red cloth, the leaders speed past him.
