I'm done with GATHERINGS!!!

[Lucky]

Giddykit couldn't help to let a squeek escape his mouth! "Thank-thank you! Oh thank you Lillystar!" The tom turned and saw Ripplepaw. "Ripplepaw!" he yowled in a whisper, running over to her and nuzzling her.

[nymara]

Ooc: I just wanna know...how do you yowl in a whisper? xDD

...Well. That was quick.

Nyria's eyes brightened. A life! With other cats besides Amara! Not that she didn't like her twin, it was just that they needed to socialize more. Especially Amara.

"Bristlekit!" she meowed, only loud enough for their half-sister to hear. Did she remember them? Had she missed them? They had only met once ever in their lives, and that was when they were only two moons old. But the scent stuck with them.

It was quick.

Amara followed her sister towards Bristlekit. She was silent the whole way, but the blissful sparkle in her eyes gave her happiness away.

"Remember us?" she purred softly. Even if Bristlekit didn't remember them, they remembered her. Amara purred some more, and rubbed past their half-sister affectionately.

[Shadow Spirit]

Lillystar watched as the new clan members rejoiced in their acceptance. Something clenched at her mind and told her that she'd made a mistake, but she wanted to give them a chance. She yawned broadly and leant into a lengthy stretch, tensing muscles that had not been used in a while. Content with the state of things, she traipsed off to her den, but only made it to the entrance before she collapsed in sleep.

Shadowstreak noticed her leader's exhaustion and took it upon herself to establish some sense of order.

"Everyone...Lillystar's clearly had enough of this...so let's get some hunting and training parties together while everyone else watches the camp!" she said, hoping the others would cooperate. "I wish to take Icepaw out hunting and I think the other mentors should take their apprentices out as well and some others can refresh the kill pile." Shadowstreak sat for a moment, waiting to see what the others would do.

OOC: In reality, Shadowstreak and Icepaw are already hunting in the Fields board XD So I'm just summing up what would've happened before they left. Double's out there too.

[Ripplemist]

OoC: Maybe like, yowling quietly? xD

"Giddykit!" Ripplepaw responded by leaping up and giving him an affectionate lick on the ear. "I thought I'd never see you again!" Her eyes shone with happiness, and she took a step back. Question time. "What made you leave TreeClan in the first place, anyway?" She sat down and tilted her head to one side. She heard what Shadowstreak said, but she was focused on Giddykit at the moment. Besides, Trillium had disappeared.

[.::Umberwings]

Smiling at Ripplepaw and Giddykit, the small black apprentice rose to her paws, and then, as if finally reaching a decision, moved away from them. Her tail flicked, once, as she headed towards the waterfall.

Was Umberpaw leaving the camp? And without her mentor? Ah, but the she-cat felt drawn – and when Starclan called a cat must follow, no?

[To - Tall Oak]

[/size]

[Lucky]

Giddykit returned the lick and sat down with Ripplepaw. "My father came to fetch me, after years of being locked up as a Kittypet. When I realized that my heart lay here, I left him. My father is dead now, killed my Streamkit's sis. And, I want to be with you forever."

He looked around, seeing Apprentices walk off with there mentors. "When do you think I could become an Apprentice Ripplepaw? Mine is two moons late and soon my "sister's" will be one moon late!"

The orangish-tanish tom was glad to be able to talk to his first friend and love Ripplepaw again; this time freely.

[Mapleheart]

Trillium slipped into the camp, remaining silent. She had lingered back at the gathering site, dwelling in guilt, for she felt that she had not been a proper mentor to Ripplekit at all. The young one was nearing the age to be made a warrior, and yet had not even begun training. Trill's ears found their way to her skull.

She hung back and attempted to take in the faces of the new appearances in the clan. The clan. It had changed so much since she had first arrived. She sighed and became the silent observer as she usually was.

(Cripes. Um. It's finals week? Yeah. I'll stop making excuses for my absence. Sorry guys.)

[Onyxdart]

Andromeda arrive just in time to see people leaving. She looked about in confusion, because she hadn't heard the whole announcement, just the last couple of words. So she went to the cat who'd been speaking and nodded.

"I feel as if I should do something, but I didn't hear what was being said to do," she said, flicking an ear in slight embarassment.

[Shadow Spirit]

OOC: I'll just say Lillystar had invited Andromeda in before she started speaking...now she is sleeping in front of her den XD


Shadowstreak looked this new cat over. She'd guessed this must be another newcomer to the clan, as she'd never seen her before.

"Umm...who exactly are you?" she asked.

[Bristleclaw]

Bristlekit observed her half-sisters. Had they only come for her? If not, why had they come? What was going on? Was she going to be forced to get along with Giddykit and Streamkit? Would she get her three-moon-overdue apprenticeship?

"N-Nyria...Amara...it's been moons! Where have you been?" the huge she-cat asked, still in awe that some relative was still alive. The two seemed so happy...so oblivious to everything...well, Nyria seemed so oblivious to everything. Amara, however, was taking in all of her new surroundings curiously. She was such a shy, quiet, intelligent cat. Nyria was loud, obnoxious, but intelligent...and Bristlekit? Bristlekit was quiet in a grumpy way, not too shy...and intelligent. If the three combined their intelligence, they could revolutionize the cat world.

[nymara]

"Around," Nyria joked. But it was true - they had been "around". Through Rogue Meadow - getting lost quite a bit - skirting DuskClan territory, sneaking pawsteps into TreeClan borders.

The big black cat felt special. Bristlekit wasn't trying to claw their ears off for talking to her - but they were half-sisters, after all. She didn't think Bristlekit was allowed to claw their ears off.

Amara couldn't suppress a mrrrow of laughter at her sister's - somewhat bad - joke. She hoped Bristlekit would find it funny, too, and not try to rip the fur off of their skin. Her gray eyes locked with her half-sister's, and she smiled - family other than the very energetic Nyria!

"We missed you," she finally mewed, burying her muzzle into Bristlekit's long, tabby fur.

[Onyxdart]

((Oh, sorry. It was either that or hang out in the borders for...ever or something.))

Andromeda shook her head at herself for the lapse of thinking. Not that this was new... she forgot often.

"I'm sorry. I'm Andromeda. And, yes, so you needn't ask, I'm new," she said with a small smile. Already having trouble fitting in? The awkward female sure felt so at this moment.

[Lucky]

Giddykit waited for Ripplepaw to reply, but he couldn't help to look around. "But enough about my past," he said, head still turned, "Why don't we go say high to some the oldies to the Clan and newbies to the Clan?"

[Ripplemist]

OoC: Mwaha, Ripple ish older than Giddy! xD *shot* And w00t, paragraphed post. 0_O

Ripplepaw grinned at the young orange tom.
"Ahahaha, you're looking at one 'oldie'. Me and my mentor Trillium, along with a few cats who I haven't seen since, were here when MistClan's previous leader, Whisperstar, lead the clan."

Her grin half-faded and she let her ears droop. "Sorry to hear about your dad. You just found each other, and then he goes to StarClan."
She shook her head and straightened up. "Well, anyway, I don't think you'll be apprenticed any time soon, seeing as how you've just joined after barging into our camp so many times, but I wouldn't worry if I were you. I myself was apprenticed at nine moons, whichreallysucked." She flattened her ears and made a grimace, and at the same time spotted Trillium, who looked rather guilt-ridden.

"Yay, my mentor!" Ripplepaw mewled happily, and bounded over to her, trusting Giddykit would follow. "Tril-lium!" The 'Van's apprentice start skipping around her. "Where were you?" She paused to look up at her, then resumed her circling. "Can we go hunting or training or something?" Ripplepaw bounced up and down and stopped to fall down flat on the ground. Seemed like the bout of energy that had miraculous come from nowhere was now gone. "Actually, maybe later," the silver cat grinned sheepishly.

[Mapleheart]

Trillium jerked her head up out of the cloud of sorrow that her mind had let itself fall to. Her apprentice's cheery voice worked magic.

"Oh, of course! It's been put off for far too long already," she glanced around, looking at the sleeping Lilystar, who obviously needed the rest, "It seems that we can leave whenever we like. Would you like to chose where we go, Ripple?"

She smiled and reviewed the Mistclan territory in her head. The grass field was obviously a good place for hunting, the tall oak a good place for stealth training. The deep pool was quite promising as well. The 'van smiled pleasantly at her apprentice and her friend, Giddy. She vaguely wondered whether she should let the new-coming troublemaker accompany them.

[Wishclaw]

She plopped her rump down..

"OMGNOWAI!"

She fell into a giggling fit, her mood and changed, now she was a bubbly, affectionet... Really weird cat. Her normal self!

She felt the words rising, the beat drumming, the song rising! It took over her, what else could she do but sing?

"If you wanna dance,
This is our chance,
If you wanna dance,
Let's take our chance"

She was swaying now, and laughing. She didn't have a apprentice to take out, she had already hunted, and now what else was there to do? Sing!

"Jiggy jump to the beat
Keep bouncin',
30 seconds and counting
Hot one, this choice critical
Situation is difficult
My calibre won't allow me to rhyme
On a level where you
People can hear me
See me, guess I know
You wanna be me
In the meantime
Bounce to the beat
Sing,"

Who knew that crazy little snow bengal rap that that? Now she was on her feet, dancing her furry little butt off. Criss-crossing feet, back stepping, twirling and stop!

"Music is my life
'Cause my life is music
The beat of the
Drum in your heart!"

[Lucky]

Giddykit got up to follow Ripplepaw, but stopped when he saw Wishclaw, acting like a kit. The tom shrugged and bumbled off to stand next to Ripplepaw. "Hello!" he said smugly, "Trillium isn't it? May I come too? I promise I won't get in the way!" he said, nodding his head.

[Shadow Spirit]

Shadowstreak decided that it was fair time to leave and take her apprentice for training. Nudging Icepaw, she gestured with her tail for the kit to follow and traipsed off to the grassy field to hunt.

Lillystar napped for a good half hour or so, before she woke again. She was startled to find she had dozed off right in front of her den and in front of everyone else no less! More than a little embarassed, she stood quickly and began grooming her mussed fur. Once she was content with her appearance, she yowled to gather the cats remaining in the camp; together.

"I understand that some of our number are hunting and some are training and I will not interupt, because that is all for good," she began. "Though I hope they return soon, because before the sun falls below the horizon I wish to make some new warriors and apprentices known to this clan!" With that, she jumped up to the rock above her den and surveyed the workings of her clan members.

[Bristleclaw]

SHORTNESS:

Bristlekit smiled at her half-sisters and padded closer to Lillystar's rock above her den. Knowing that this was when she would finally get a mentor, the huge kit's grin grew even wider.

"Come on, Nymara!"

[Wishclaw]

Now the odd she-cat stopped singing, and chased her tail for a brief moment before prancing over to Lillystar's den to join the trend of gathering below at the begining of a Gathering.

Would she get an apprentice? That would be great! But she doubted it, but still that would be pretty damn sweet. They could chase rabbits and play fight any Wishclaw could teach her apprentice how to sing! And...

She kept on daydreaming away, with crayon drawing backgrounds and funny little scribbles to represent her and her apprentice.

Woah, was she like, high or something?
