A/N: My English teacher just told the class that we're going to have a lot of grammar questions on our mid-terms so sorry if this chapter is too grammar-y for you, I just have to practice.

Springstep walked into the gathering with her head held high. It was her first gathering as a queen! She was carrying Troutfall's kits. She went to chat with some cats she knew from Windclan, and then started chatting. After a while Morningstar, Thunderclan's leader, stepped forward. Cats of all Clans, let the gathering begin. Springstep glanced at the moon, still bright as ever. Rabbitfur noticed her gaze and asked,

"Is everything all right?"

"Of course," Springstep replied,

"Just checking." They turned their attention back to Morningstar.

"And we have one new warrior, Birchwhisker." She was saying. She continued on for a bit and then stepped back to let Darkstar speak.

"Shadowclan is doing fairly well. We have gotten well quickly after the border attack, and we will make sure it never happens again." Darkstar growled in Hazelstar's direction. Then it was Hazelstar's turn.

"We have all gotten well after the little border tiff, except of course, Darkfoot." she mewed, looking with sadness in Hazelbright's direction. Hazelstar continued quickly on.

"Prey is running well, and we are all ready for another battle should the need for one occur." she threatened. Springstep glanced at the sky again. Clouds were beginning to cover the clouds again. That could not be good. She managed to catch Hazelstar's eye and jerked her chin in the moon's direction. She got the message and her fur began to lie flat again. Sedgestar also saw what was going on and quickly stepped forward.

"Windclan is also doing well. We have two new warriors, Amberflight and Swiftsky." Springstep looked over at Rabbitfur.

"You didn't tell me your kits became warriors!" She exclaimed. Rabbitfur laughed.

"I wanted it to be a surprise!" A little bit later the gathering ended, Springstep said her goodbyes and headed off to camp. Just before she left the island she heard Rabbitfur panting behind her.

"When are you expecting your kits?" She asked. "

In a moon." Springstep replied, then ran off after her clanmates.
