The white cat licked his sister's cheek. "I missed you so much, Shadow!"
Shadowstar blushed and licked his brother's cheek. "Actually, my name is Shadowstar now. I'm the leader of ShadowClan, but I'm the only cat in my Clan at the moment."
The white tom sat down and looked at his sister with a weird facial expression. "Clan? What?"
Shadowstar rolled her eyes, and explained the whole idea of the Clans to him.
Once she was finished, the white cat smiled. "Sounds like fun! Can I join?"
Shadowstar nodded. "The only thing is, I don't know if you'd be an apprentice, or a warrior." She told him. After all, he was a bit younger than she was.
Blueberry rolled his eyes. "Always think you are the stronger one, huh? Let's fight." He said.
Shadowstar smiled. "Okay." Truthfully, she didn't want to fight her brother. She quickly got an idea.
"Or actually, I got an idea. We'll have a little competition." She grinned.
The white tom smiled. "What is it?"
"Whoever collects the most prey by dusk wins. If I win, you become an apprentice. If you win, you become a warrior."
"Nah." Blueberry said.
Shadowstar sighed.
"You actually think that I'm not capable of being a warrior? I am offended."
Shadowstar rolled her eyes.
The white tom then charged at the cat. He jumped onto her back and started to swat at her neck.
The she-cat rolled over, so she was holding Blueberry down. Blueberry raised his back legs and tried to kick her, but she was to high. Blueberry then struggled out, and once he got out of her hold, they just continued to dodge each others scratches. After a bit, Shadowstar decided he was worthy enough to be a warrior.
She sat down, and smiled. "Great job, brother. You are now a warrior of ShadowClan."
The tom smiled. "Wait, do I have to become Blueberrystar now?"
Shadowstar giggled. "No, that's only for the leader. Anyways, you can keep your name, because Blueberry can be a warrior name. The only thing is that if you became leader, you'd become Bluestar."
The tom smiled. "Okay, I get it now."
"Let me show you around the camp." She said. Blueberry nodded and followed his sister.
Thunderstar glanced at Cherrypaw. "Hey Cherrypaw, would you like to visit Shadowstar?"
Cherrypaw rolled her eyes. He totally has a crush on her! After all, that's all he ever wants to do, but can't he just become her mate, and they cool it off a little? I need to train! I am probably the worst apprentice ever! She thought.
"It sounds like fun, Thunderstar, but I would rather train. We were in ShadowClan all day yesterday. One day, you are gonna have kits, and I believe that I'll still be an apprentice once they are apprentices!"
Thunderstar sighed. "I guess you are right. First of all, let us check the borders. I will check WindClan, and you check ShadowClan."
The apprentice nodded. "Meet you back here in a bit." She told him. She ran over to the ShadowClan border and started to venture into ShadowClan's territory a bit. She continued further and further until she got vision of the clearing.
Who is that? She wondered when she saw Blueberry. She noticed them laughing, talking, and bonding. Thunderstar wouldn't be happy about this.
If this cat becomes mates with Shadowstar, Thunderstar will never forgive her! He'd just end up leaving the forest, and I'd be the only cat in ThunderClan, which means I'd have to become the leader, and though Cherrystar sounds nice, I can't fight much, at all! She told herself. She had to see who this cat is.
Now, she felt bad that she'd have to fake a problem, because, why else would she be here?
She could say that she just wanted to hang out, have some she-cat's only time. She walked into the clearing, and ran up to Shadowstar and Blueberry.
"Hey Shadowstar!" She smiled, then looked at the white cat. "Who are you?" He is handsome.
"I am Blueberry, a warrior of ShadowClan." He smiled.
"He's younger than me, though. Probably your age, Cherrypaw." Shadowstar told her.
"Blueberry, this is one of my good friends, Cherrypaw from ThunderClan."
"Is that the one that we are allies with?" He asked her. The leader nodded.
Allies, huh? Okay, so I guess there still is a chance. Now, how does she know this cat?
"Are you two related?"
Shadowstar nodded. "Yes, Blueberry is my younger brother. Anyways, why are you here, Cherrypaw?" Cherrypaw glanced at the she-cat. "I just wanted to come to say hello, is all." She blushed, feeling embarrassed. She should have thought of a better excuse to be here than that.
"Hello Cherrypaw. Now go back to Thunderstar, okay?"
"Too late." A male voice thundered.
The apprentice looked behind her to see Thunderstar.
"What are you doing here, Cherrypaw?" He asked her, with a mad and upset tone. Then, he looked at the tom. "Who are you?"
"I am Shadowstar's brother, Blueberry." The tom introduced himself.
Thunderstar smiled. "Come on, Cherrypaw. So sorry for interrupting, Shadowstar."
"It's alright, Thunderstar." She said, and blushed a bit.
The tom grinned and walked away, with Cherrypaw behind her.
Once they were far away enough, Cherrypaw walked up next to him. "Are you mad at me?" She asked him.
Thunderstar sighed, and looked at her. "Why did you go in there?"
"I just wanted to say hello, but then I saw Blueberry, and wanted to see who he was and all of that."
'Tell me first before you do that, okay? It is not like everyone in the forest is our friend. I was worried sick!"
Cherrypaw remembered what happened with Windstar. He was probably out to kill her now. She really had to think, even though Shadowstar was a safe cat to be around, she had to get permission first. He might have known what Clan she was in, or what her name was, and may have been lurking near the ShadowClan border to capture her. She gulped.
"I understand. I'm sorry."
The gray tom smiled and licked the she-cat's cheek. "Now, let's go practice your battle moves."
Cherrypaw nodded. "Yeah. Sounds good to me."
The two slowly walked to the perfect place to train.
