Midnightstar stood tall and proud as the slight breeze slicked back her fur in the moonlight. The stars reflected in her glowing emerald eyes as she gazed across the clearing. Her eyes narrowed angrily as she spotted a flame-colored tom with white on the tip of his tail. She turned her gazed away disdainfully, her heart full of burning flame.

Hawkstar shook her wet pelt and clambered up the Great Oak. "Greetings, Midnightstar. How are you this evening?" She turned and gazed into her friend's eyes, the rich emerald color glowing, the stars shining in them. Hawkstar tilted her head, waiting for the other leader's answer.

"Fine," she mumbled. "Thanks for asking. How are you doing this fine night?" She asked more politely. She noticed how a sparkle of happiness glinted in her eyes.

Hawkstar was sad to see her friend in such low spirits. "I'm good. Two of my kits have just become warriors!" she mewed proudly.

Eaglestripe padded up to Midnightstar, listening in. "I am Eaglestripe, warrior of RiverClan. I was almost killed by a horse when I was apprenticed and named dead the day I became a warrior, but here I am." The proud she cat's eyes brightened when she saw Midnightstar's gaze soften slightly. "I am the offspring of Flamefur and Hawkstar of RiverClan." she added. Midnightstar's eyes hardened in to slits and Eaglestripe knew she had done something wrong.
Flamefur watched as his daughter introduced herself to the ThunderClan leader. As soon as she said her father's name, Midnightstar's soft smile tuned in to a regretting glare. As Eaglestripe backed away, hurt, the young orange tom padded up to Midnightstar.
"She doesn't know about-about how we were mates once. Midnightstar, I'm sorry, but we cannot be mates if the other cats won't respect us. Lunafire hated me and was never direct with you before. Now, he's completely loyal, and doesn't glare at me all the time." Flamefur hissed. "At least don't scare my daughter! She just recovered from a near fatal accident!"
The orange cat turned and padded up to the side of the branch where Hawkstar was.

Midnightstar felt hurt. "I wouldn't care what other cats thought, Flamefur," she said softly. "And tell your daughter that it was nice meeting her." Midnightstar turned away and climbed back up to the oak. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHH2AC5krrE |

Redstripe, appearing from some bushes, saw the last exchange. She padded over to where Eaglestripe and Sunhawk were, giving a studying look to the ThunderClan leader, Midnightstar. She had never met her before this close; She had always been at a distance before. Redstripe turned her head away, now where Eaglestripe and Sunhawk were. "Eaglestripe, I noticed what you said to Midnightstar, and her reaction. I don't think she meant to hurt your feelings." She gave the other she-cat a reasuring smile, then walked over to her new place- at the base of the tree, where the deputies sat.
Mossheart, a she-cat warrior of ThunderClan, walked over the log to the gathering island, looking up at the Great Tree, where the leaders were, with their deputies on the ground. She just noticed a young RiverClan she-cat with red tabby fur and green eyes walking from a group of RiverClan cats over beneth the tree, where she sat. Mossheart had a pang of reconition, but she didn't know why, or even who this cat was. She sat down, her long, brown tabby fur waving in a gentle breeze, and her green eyes showing her confusement. Who is that she-cat?

Hawkstar shifted nervously. When would the other leaders get here? It seemed like it was taking forever.

Redstripe looked up at her leader, who looked nervous. The other leaders had not shown up yet. In fact, she hadn't heard too much from the ShadowClan border for a while. Redstripe was getting nervous too.

Midnightstar shifted uneasily as the moon started to sowly sink into the mountains.
"Hawkstar the leaders still aren't here yet, and the moon is beginning to lower. We must start the gathering now." Without waiting for an answer, Midnightstar called out the familiar summons to start the gathering. She purposefully held her gaze into the sky and toward her clan, not letting her eyes travel for she was worried that she would regret what she would see.
"It is not common for us to start a gathering without the other leaders, but we must continue or there will be no gathering tonight. I will share the news about ThunderClan first," Midnightstar began.
"Our prey is pleantiful and the forest is lush and abundant, though we can start to feel the heat, and a few areas of our territory is starting to dry up, especially near the greenleaf twoleg place. Also, we have just appointed two new warriors; my kits Stormflower and Mapleclaw."
(Stormflower character) Stormflower stood tall and proud as her mother called out her name. She was really a warrior! As she gazed around she didn't know many of the cats at all, though one cat looked a little bit familiar, though she ignored him and turned her gazed back to the tall oak.
(Mapleclaw character) Mapleclaw smiled as he stood boldly, his muscles gleaming under his flame colored pelt with black stripes. The moonlight shimmered over him fur as he stood tall. He flicked his gaze across the staring cats as his mother called out his name. One cat caught his eye though. He gazed down at his own pelt, the fiery color glowing in the night. The cat had the same flame pelt as he did, though without the stripes. His eyes narrowed thoughtfully, but he turned away, more interested in the gathering than this seemingly familiar cat. Maybe he could go introduce himself to some other cats when the gathering was over.

Birchstar burst into the clearing with her clan running after her.
"Sorry we're late," Birchstar appologized.
"Please, my clan would like some time to speak with the other cats if that is alright."

"That is alright with me, just make it quick. my clanmates may wander." Midnightstar answered.
(Mapleclaw character) What luck! he thought. As he gazed around he had no idea which cat to talk to first. He stopped and turned around, tilting his head to wait and see if the RiverClan leader would alow her cats to wander too.
(Stormflower character) Stormflower sat gleefully, gazing around. She didn't really know who to talk to, so she decided she would just wait for someone to maybe come to her.

Hawkstar waited for a while and decided that it was her time. "RiverClan is thriving well this moon. Our fish are not as slim as they were before. And we have appointed a new deputy, Redstripe." Hawkstar joined in the calls. "We have also gotten two new warriors, my kits Sunhawk and Eaglestripe." she meowed proudly.
Sunhawk sat tall and proud as his mother called his name. What joy it was to have cats from other Clans shouting his new name.

As Bramblestorm and his deputy and Clan arrived, he saw the gathering starting. The young tom leaped on to the top of his branch. Clouds were covering the moon.
"Why have you started without my Clan? Are you Twolegs, who ignore each other?" he called, hissing at the other leaders.
"Well, I will continue." he added when they silenced.
"WindClan is well. My mate Sunflight's kits were apprenticed. Wildpaw is my apprentice, Sandpaw is Sunflight's apprentice, Bramblepaw is mentored by Windtail and Rockpelt mentors Thornpaw as a medicine cat apprentice. We have found fox scents on our territory and warn others to beware. That is all." he meowed proudly.
Bramblestorm noticed Hawkstar wince and look at Flamefur when he mentioned Wildpaw. Poor Flamefur, he thought.
