Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't been updating anything lately. My dad's security system shut me out of Fan so I couldn't update, even though I wanted to. But the n I got a laptop, so I am now free to supply my readers (you) with new chapters to warriors, and the Wizard of Mario. So now, without farther ado, Chapter 7 of Warriors: Three Rising!

Mango feasted on some quail, enjoying her friends- and new clanmates- company. Already, the somewhat familiar forest seemed like home. It was a different kind of home- a better home. One that didn't smell like crowfood. Mango was already priding herself with her Warrior Slang. Cinderpaw was very giggly and kept glancing at Thunderpaw nervously. "What are you waiting for?" Mango had asked. "Just go talk to him." "Yeah!" agreed Maplepaw. "You guys used to talk all the time!" Cinderpaw shuffled her fiery orange tipped paws. "That was before, you know, I knew that he liked me." Maplepaw and Mango rolled their eyes.

At the entrance to the Leader's Den, Coalstar was watching his newest apprentice. There was a strange type of concern in his face. Rainpatter walked up to her mate and brushed his shoulder with her tail thoughtfully. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked, looking at Mango as well. "Yes, but It's impossible. There is no way that could be her." Coalstar said, rather defensively. "But what if it is her? She looks just like her…..Maybe" Rainpatter began, but was cut short by Coalstar. "Rainpatter, listen to me! I was there! I saw Snowr-….I saw it happen. It's not her. There is no way the other kit could have made it. You know what mother always said, 'Memory is the best proof.'" Rainpatter sighed. "OK, Coalstar. Mother also said, 'Seeing isn't always believing.' Tell me, how many orange striped curled eared cats do you think there are nearby? Maybe it's her. But you could be right, it might not be her. I just want you to open up to the idea that Mango may be your-" "THAT IS ENOUGH RAINPATTER! Snowrose's death is still fresh in my mind, and I don't need you making it worse with this nonsense! Now, go bother someone else for a while." Coalstar stomped back into his den, leaving Rainpatter in the quickly fading light. "Oh dear." She sighed, retreating to the Warrior's den.

Oooooh suspense! Now, some of you may be thinking, "Doesn't the leader's mate stay in the leader's den?" Good observation! Did you also notice how Coalstar and Rainpatter talked about their mother as being one cat? Hmm… the pieces of Mango's past may be falling into place for some of you. That's all for this chapter, I have to update the Wizard of Mario now. Feel free to check that fic out too, if you haven't yet. J
