A/N: All events in this story will have root in reality. They may veer away from true events, but they will always stay true to the feeling they caused. Some of them aer so distant, I can barely remember the details. But i remember the feelings...

For the purpose of clarity the cats will be human. I will give you their clan positions here: this is the character list after all. i will feifne realations thoroughout the story.

First chapter is here! OF course they will start out as cats.

I will explain the Italics here. Italics in this story signify either: Flashbacks, memories, or an especially important part of the story. They are also there to stress words.

Oh, and because cats mate at a young age relative to humans, the whole 'mmate' concept will not carry over. There will be crushes however.

"Leafpelt! You need to wake up!"

"What is it Blueberry?" hissed Leafpelt in annoyance. She had woken up with a vague premonition. She was so lost as to what the scene had been, and consequently she had been unable to get much sleep. So ,of course, the moment she finally fell into a peaceful slumber she was woken.

"Goldstar says that it is time to keep moving. We need to find a new home before Leaf-Bare. Now come on, we don't want to leave you behind."

Leafpelt watched her friend exit. With a growl, she stood up and arched her back. Oh Star-Clan, what would she give to have her old home back!

She followed Blueberry outside of the makeshift den, and they walked over to the rock where Goldstar, Brownstar, Amberstar, and Onestar stood.

"Fellow clans, we have experienced a great tragedy. The Great Fire will go down in the annals of our history, and we shall learn from the ashes." said Goldstar.

"We are going to be searching for a new home. The journey will most likely be a long and perilous one. But such things have happened before, and we have perserved through many hardships; as such, I do not doubt that we will survive," said Brownstar. "My brother and I will take up the front of the group."

"Onestar and I will follow in the back. Our deputies will flank the sides," said Amberpaw.

The four clan leaders - or, at least, they used to be Leaders- jumped off of the makeshift platform and signaled for them to follow.

"Kits and Queens go in the middle. Warriors will surround them, with their apprentices at their sides. Now regroup!" shouted Goldstar as the other three leaders scurried around, guiding their kin into their positions.

Blueberry swerved around the others to her friend Sweetprlt. "Hey Sweetpelt! When are you gonna tell Stripetail how you feel!"

Sweetpelt bowed her head. "I don't know. It's complicated. Erm... actually I'm not sure how I feel right now. I don't know if I want him to be my mate or not."

"Ok," said Blueberry, giving Sweetpelt an affectionate headbutt to her shoulder. "But you two would be so cute together!"

"Blueberry! Sweetpelt! Pay attention! We are nearing the Thunderpath!" snapped Stripetail at the two she-cats. Sweetpelt hung her head and held her tail between her legs in a show of submission. Kaylee pinned her ears back in a similar fashion, but she also snuck an annoyed look at the deputy.

"Honestly Sweetpelt, I will never understand why you like him so much!"

"Well Blueberry, it's the same from my point of view when it comes to how you see Brownfur!"

Blueberry hissed aggressively. "He has never insulted me, unlike the tom you want for a mate!"

"Well! at least I have talked to him!.

"I'm shy! You know that... you know what? This is stupid. Let's just drop it."

"Agreed."

The two she-cats continued their journey in relative peace.
