Snowstar: Cinderstar, where is Firestar? You said you were going to go talk to him about leading a clan today.

Cinderstar: Did I? I meant...talking to him about taking over his clan.

Snowstar: That isn't funny, Cinderstar. Really.

Firestar: Help me!

Cinderstar: We don't own Warriors or Firestar. Or else he would have never saved the clan, Graystripe would have.

Hoppaw's POV

After the badger attacked, two days later, everyone now knew Lilypaw would survive. Three days after that, Firepaw could sleep in the apprentice's den. Hoppaw made a nest for him using some of Lilypaw's nest and the two brothers started training together. But other stuff was happening.

It was half-moon and Amberpaw seemed to get worse every day. She wasn't good at fighting, lacked the skills for hunting, and would stay in the medicine cat den for as long as she could, helping Grasslace.

She is wasting away, Hoppaw thought worriedly. He and his siblings were on the look out for the "Three" but there had been no sign of them yet.

It was a quarter moon after the Gathering now. Hoppaw was finally lifted of his punishment and was tired after a border patrol.

"Hi Gracepaw," he muttered sleeply as he climbed into his nest.
"Good night." his sister replied. "By the way, Heatherfang chose you for battle practice tomorrow."

With that happy news in mind, Hoppaw fell asleep quickly. Blinking, he saw that he was in a foggy forest. Looking up he saw three lone stars in the sky, and the moon. Hoppaw padded through the forest, looking for cats. Then he emerged into a clearing and saw three cats sitting down, staring at him. Three cats...

The first, a large golden tom, walked over to him. "Welcome to Starclan," he mewed. "We have a lot of work to do tonight."

The next cat that was sitting to his right, a small gray she-cat, also came over. "Yes. We need your sister too..." she glanced over at the last cat, a blue eyed gray tabby tom, who snorted "Fine. Give me a minute first." He blinked, and Hoppaw realized that he was blind.

"Who are you guys?" the apprentice asked.

"He doesn't know? I guess Thunderclan doesn't teach their young ones about history." The golden tom laughed. "We are the Three."

Hoppaw gasped. "Is that why your getting Amberpaw...?"

The blind cat nodded and closed his eyes. "Yes. Brother, tell him about us while I'm gone." The tom suddenly dissapeared.

"Whoa! Where did he go?" Hoppaw cried out. This dream was way too weird for him!

"Calm down, Hoppaw. He's only getting Amberpaw for you." replied the golden tom. "Anyway, you should know a little about us. If you were to try to attack me, you would fail. That's because I have a power."

"Huh?" Hoppaw tipped his head to the side. "Yes, a power. I can't be beaten in battle. My cousin here, she can see all over the lake. Great spying tool. She can sense things far away. And my brother who just left can enter other cat's dreams and thoughts. He was medicine cat of Thunderclan. I was their strongest warrior. And she was...a warrior."

The gray she-cat meowed, "hey! I was strong too!"

"Yeah right," the tom retorted, joking.

"What are your names?" Hoppaw asked. But the golden tom mewed, "you don't need to know."

Then the air next to the she-cat shimmered and the blind cat came back, but with Amberpaw this time.

"Amberpaw! These cats are the Three and they are going to help you and they have powers-" Hoppaw was cut off by his sister, who replied, "Yes I already know. This tom told me about them already. But what are your names?"

The blind cat sighed. "We can't tell you."

Amberpaw frowned. "Then I'm not coming with you!"

"Ugh... fine! My name is Jayfeather. I was medicine cat of Thunderclan. The she-cat is Dovewing. And my brother is Lionblaze."

Hoppaw smiled. "Cool!"

"We are going to take Amberpaw to the Moonpool where she will see her future. So she wont waste away." Jayfeather explained, taking a step forward. But before he could go any farther Hoppaw ran in front of him. "Wait. Did you three give Lilypaw the prophecy?" Hoppaw asked.

Dovewing shook her head. "No. Lilypaw was given the prophecy by Scorchstar. He was the leader before Yellowstar, and kin of the great Firestar."

"Who is Firestar?" Amberpaw and Hoppaw chorused.

Before they went to the Moonpool, the Three told them that Firestar was a legendary leader of Thunderclan. And that his kin, Lionblaze, had kits that had kits that had kits that had Scorchstar. Dovewing also had kits, who, generations later, had-

"Brighttail?" Hoppaw gasped. "Your saying we are related to Firestar, Scorchstar, and you three?"

"Yes... now can we go now?" Jayfeather rudely complained. "Its going to be dawn soon. Now, Amberpaw and Hoppaw, you both close your eyes. Dovewing concentrate on the Moonpool. Lionblaze, stand next to the apprentices." Both other cats obeyed and Jayfeather went on.

"Good. Now Dovewing, stand next to Lionblaze. You close your eyes. I'm going to enter Dovewing's mind and make us go to the Moonpool."

Suddenly Hoppaw felt wind brushing his pelt, and heard Jayfeather say, "Open your eyes!"

Hoppaw opened his eyes and saw a small pool of water, much smaller than the lake but bigger than the small pond in the medicine cat's den.

"This is the Moonpool?" he asked.

"Yep, the one and only. So Amberpaw look into the water." Dovewing mewed.

"Okay." Amberpaw touched the water with her paw, making ripples in the water. She stared into the water for what seemed like for days...

Amberpaw's POV(Mixed up...)

Amberpaw stared into the water for what seemed like for days...

She blinked and saw herself in Thunderclan's camp. She was padding to the medicine cat tunnel when Grasslace came out and mewed, "there you are Amberpaw!"

(A/N: The Amberpaw looking at the scene will be Amberpaw and the Amberpaw in the scene will be 'Amberpaw'.)

'Amberpaw' smiled. "Hi Grasslace. Um, with Gorgepaw gone, is it okay if I train under you? I've wanted to be a medicine cat since I was a kit but since you had an apprentice..."

Grasslace nodded. "Of course! But under one condition: If Gorgepaw does come back, I'm going to retire. And then Gorgepaw will be your mentor instead, okay?"

"Okay!" 'Amberpaw' replied excitedly. "Thank you so much!"

"My pleasure..." Grasslace padded back into the medicine cat's den and Amberpaw saw her mixing herbs together. Amberpaw then turned to 'Amberpaw' and could see the apprentice walking to the apprentice's den. "Now one of Softwing's kits can use my nest," she murmured to herself.

Amberpaw blinked and the scene was over. She looked up to see Jayfeather smiling at her. "Do you see now? You will become medicine cat of Thunderclan."

"Like you?" Amberpaw burst out.

Jayfeather flinched like she had clawed him and Lionblaze growled, "Amberpaw..."

Amberpaw frowned. "What's wrong?"

Dovewing murmered in her ear, "Jayfeather didn't want to be medicine cat but because he's blind he had to."

"I can hear you!" Jayfeather retorted. "And now in Starclan, I'm learning the ways of a warrior!"

"I-I'm sorry, Jayfeather..." Amberpaw trailed off. "I didn't mean to offend you or anything."

"It's okay," Jayfeather replied. He nodded briskly and continued, "now we need to go back to Starclan. It's almost dawn. You two, touch the Moonpool and close your eyes, and you will appear in your nests."

The two apprentices nodded and obeyed. Blinking, Amberpaw saw that she was in her nest next to Hoppaw in the Thunderclan camp. I'm back home! She stretched he legs and padded out to hear, "Please Yellowstar! We need your help, and with the outbreak of whitecough-"

"I can't be sure. Sending away a medicine cat? We may have two but Grasslace is old and Gorgepaw hasn't learned everything yet."

Amberpaw saw the huge Thunderclan leader standing by his den. In front of him was Bluestar, the leader of Riverclan, and two warriors and one apprentice. She recognized Rockpaw, the new apprentice, and Skyleap, the cat that had saved Gracepaw. The third she didn't know was the cat pleading.

"Yellowstar, our clan will die out. Shadowclan turned us away and Windclan is an enemy of ours right now. Sending a medicine cat to help us will bring our clans together, and not sending will break neutral. We will wage war on you!" Bluestar growled.

The pleading cat, a small white she-cat, mewed, "Yellowstar, you have to. You and my mom were close friends, and she is one of the suffering cats. Do it for her if not anyone else!"

Yellowstar flinched. "Conebird?" he asked.

"Yes. Do it for her! Or a queen, Onefoot, that is sick. Or for an apprentice a whisker away from Starclan- Eaglepaw."

"...Very well. If one of my medicine cats agree and Heatherfang, then I will send one." Yellowstar meowed. "I'm sorry to hear about your mother, Soarheart."

Her name is Soarheart, okay...Amberpaw thought.

Gorgepaw, Grasslace, and Heatherfang were summoned and Yellowstar told them that 'Riverclan was suffering and need a medicine cat.'

"If you go, you may be their next medicine cat forever since they have none," Yellowstar finished. "Heatherfang, what do you say?"

The deputy frowned. "We need our medicine cat. But I do agree that one of them could go if they'd like to. Grasslace? Gorgepaw?"

Grasslace shook her head. "I am too old," she croaked. "I cannot go. And my soul lies with Thunderclan."

"Gorgepaw?" Heatherfang asked. "Will you go, to help Riverclan?"

Gorgepaw's face held confusion, sadness, uncertainty, and determination, all at the same time.

"I-I swore, as a medicine cat, that I would never turn a clan away in a time of need. And I think Riverclan needs our help and we need an alliance. I-I will miss Thunderclan."

"So you will go?" Yellowstar mewed quietly. Gorgepaw nodded. "Yes. I will become their next medicine cat."

Bluestar shared a happy look with Skyleap as she meowed, "good. At the next half-moon, come to our camp after the Moonpool. So in a quarter-moon."

"Okay." Gorgepaw dipped his head and walked to the medicine cat's den. Amberpaw wondered if he was having second thoughts already.

Laurelclaw walked out of the warrior's den. "What's going on?"

"Gorgepaw is going to become Riverclan's medicine cat and help them since they have no medicine cat." Yellowstar explained.

Laurelclaw burst into tears. "Not my first kit! No! Don't let him!"

Gorgepaw came out of the medicine cat's den again. "Mom, I have to help them. And now were at a truce with them. I'm sorry, but I'll see you at Gatherings."

"It wont be the same!" Laurelclaw retorted. "You still have Fuzzypaw, Robinpaw, and Thornpaw. Mom, I may be the last of your first litter but I'll be fine!" Gorgepaw growled. "I have to do this!"

Laurelclaw took a step back. "...fine." the warrior whipped around and stalked to the apprentice's den, most likely to go tell her other kits.

Amberpaw ran to Gorgepaw. "Your going to leave? To help Riverclan?"

"Yes. And I know I'll fit in. My name even suits them!" Gorgepaw tried to joke. He glanced at Laurelclaw's tail, which was drooping as it disappeared into the medicine cat's den. "I hope my mother gets over it," he added sadly.

"I'm sure she will," Amberpaw replied. She was unhappy that Gorgepaw was leaving, but her vision she had at the Moonpool was unfolding, and she could finally be the next Thunderclan medicine cat!

Next will be Jumppaw's POV. Sorry I skipped but I kind of had to...
