Redtail came padding into the Medicine Cats den, to find Cinderpelt tending to Bramblekit's small scratch on his paw.
"Cinderpelt," he mewed.
"Yes, Redtail?" she asked. Goldenflower bowed her head to the deputy, and Cinderpelt did the same as Bramblekit was ushered towards the exit by his mother.
"Bluestar wants you to go to the Gathering tonight," he mewed.
"Okay, Redtail," she mewed. "Who else is going?" she asked, as she put the cobwebs back in thier spot.
"You, Graystripe, Spottedleaf, Swiftheart, Ashpaw, Frostfur, Cloudpaw, and Thornclaw," mewed Redtail, "and maybe some elders if they would like to come, too."
"Thank you, Redtail," she mewed, and went back to her work. Redtail exited the den, and padded towards Bluestar's den.

That evening, Cinderpelt lined next to her Clanmates to go to the Gathering. Bluestar began padding at a light and steady pace next to Brokenstar. Cinderpelt padded next to Ashpaw, and effectionately licked him over the ear when Redtail wasn't looking. He had promised to keep it a secret and not tell Bluestar, but if he saw him nuzzle her again, or her lick him again, there would be trouble. Bluestar stopped at the edge of the clearing, Brokenstar gave the signal to his Clan, and they pelted into the clearing. Shortly after the last cat was inside the grove of trees, Bluestar gave the signal, and her Clan pelted into the forest. Cinderpelt stuck close to Ashpaw. They saw Graystripe head towards Silverstream, and Spottedleaf accompanied by Swiftheart went to talk to Mistyfoot. Frostfur padded towards a group of Queens talking about thier kits. Cloudpaw sprinted to talk to some WindClan apprentices, and Thornclaw settled in with Onewhisker and Stonefur.
"So, who are we going to go talk to?" asked Cinderpelt.
"Doesn't matter," mewed Ashpaw.
"Cinderpelt! Ashpaw! Come here!" exclaimed Graystripe. The two sprinted over.
"Yes, Graystripe?" asked Ashpaw.
"I know you guys can keep a secret, right?" Graystripe mewed.
"Yea. We kept our love a secret all this time, what is it Graystripe?" asked Cinderpelt. He bent down and whispered quietly to them.
"I'm in love with Silverstream, and she loves me. We're mates. So, I guess you two are keeping a secret too, huh?"
"Yes," mewed Cinderpelt. "Do Fireheart and Sandstorm know?"
"They were the first ones we told. They are good friends of ours," mewed Silverstream. Her voice was sweet. A yowl came from Great Rock. All the cats looked up respectfully at the four Clan leaders. There were mumbles among the leaders, and Bluestar stepped up first.
"Welcome, ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan. We are the first to bring news of our Clan. We have two new warriors among us tonight. Thornclaw and Swiftheart!" she mewed. Yowls of approval came from cats of every Clan. "We also welcome two new apprentices to our Clan, but they are not here tonight, Tigerpaw and Bloodpaw! We have a new litter of kits, Goldenflower and Tigerclaw were just a half moon ago the proud parents of Bramblekit and Tawnykit!"
ThunderClan cats gave out happy yowles, and soon the rest of the Clans joined in. When Brokenstar stepped up, they all quieted.
"About three-quarters of a moon ago, we experiensed a horrible tragedy. ShadowClan was drivin out of our own camp by rats and owls. We are now sharing a home with ThunderClan, with the kindness of Bluestar. ShadowClan gives her a warm thank you, and are hoping to be returning to thier home by mid-Greenleaf," mewed Brokenstar. Approving meows came from the Clan cats around them. Crookedstar stepped up.
"We have a new deputy. Oakheart has passed away unfortunately from a rogue attack, and I have chosen Leopardfur to take his place," mewed Crookedstar. There were mourning meows for Oakheart, but than congratulating yowls for Leopardfur. There was a look of great sadness to Bluestar's eyes, and she shed a tear. She than straitened herself, and smiled back at the Clans. Crookedstar stepped back, and Tallstar stepped forward.
"Three new kits were born to WindClan only yesterday. Our proud queen, Ashfoot is the mother of three young kits. Crowkit, Owlkit, and Weaslekit. Thier father is our own Onewhisker! Congratulations, Onewhisker and Ashfoot! Congratulations, Leopardfur, and Congratulations to Swiftheart, Thornclaw, Tigerpaw, Bloodpaw, and Tigerclaw and Goldenflower!" he mewed, and the meeting ended. ThunderClan and ShadowClan cats gathered at the edge of the forest to return to thier home. RiverClan cats padded along the edge of the gorge, and WindClan cats ran swiftly out to the moorlands. Life is exactly the way it should be. Thaught Ashpaw as he and Cinderpelt followed ThunderClan and ShadowClan cats towards ThunderClan camp.
