"I won't, Sunset." Whitepaw promised in a soft meow. Whitepaw looked around and noticed Fishfeather, the Medicine Cat. Whitepaw mewed a quick goodbye to Sunset and walked over. "Hello, Fishfeather." Whitepaw wouldn't stay here for too long, she just wanted to say hi and talk to the Medicine Cat.

"Oh hello..." Whitepaw, wasn't it? "...Whitepaw." [/b] mewed Fishfeather, smiling a crooked smile. "How's the prey runnin'?"*** Mintleaf's eyes scrutinized the clearing. Good. Lakeclan and Sunclan were here yet Dreamclan still needed to make an entrance; not late yet not seeming rushed to arrive. For a second, she felt a wave of fear. Would she perch where the leaders perched, or rather would she adress the clans on ground level, facing the comments of weakness. Her eyes flicked from side to side, but she inhaled sharply, fur bristling not in hostily but anxiousness as she flicked her tail, signaling her small patrol to enter the gathering. [/size][/center]

Cheetahpaw followed eagerly, optics flickering in almost every direction to draw in Fourstones. Pouncing up to Mintleaf's side, he let his mouth drop open slightly to drink in the scent of the gathering place and the different clans there. Excited, Cheetahpaw looked up to Mintleaf, his previous sourness gone. "This place is awesome," he trilled softly, blue eyes taking all the cats in. He gave a start as Bearface came up, but quickly regained his composure and warily searched the bearlike cat's face. "Hello, Mintleaf. Where's Hawkstar?" Bearface asked with a gruffy meow, looking down at Cheetahpaw. "And who's this? Cheetahpaw I assume?"

Sunset glanced over her shoulder and noticed BoulderClan had arrived.Good that leaves one more clan to come."Excuse me for now."She mewed to both the warriors and padded over to Silentpounce and mewed "Hello your from BoulderClan I presume?"
Skystar lifted his head and noticed that BoulderClan had come but where was Hawkstar.Raising to his haunches he padded over to Mintleaf and mewed "Hello Mintleaf.I see you have tooken some cats.Where is Hawkstar?Usually thats the leaders job or is she absent today?"

"She was unable to attend the Gathering this moon, and gives her deepest regrets." replied Mintleaf, choosing her words carefully and dipping her head respectively but not in submission. She spoke to the two cats who approached her at the same time, eyes flicking to Cheetahpaw. "Don't give away anything important." she said. "Remember, you might be giving hunting tips here and fighting them after the truce. Be polite but not soft. Show pride. Light talk, perhaps meet some of the other apprentices." she paused, taking a breath. "Remember, they're watching you for hints; clues of your true personality. Battle strategies. Anything that a clan could use to their advantage."

xx. shining-frost .xx
Shiningfrost was nervous, very nervous. The last gathering everyone had almost been killed...and she had saved Earthstar. No, no! She didn't love him! Besides, wasn't she betraying Tanglewood? She needed to speak with him, in StarClan...she felt nothing but a warm, fiery passion for Earthstar. But he'd never feel the same, he'd never even thanked her for saving his d**ned life!
[SOMEBODY'S angry XD]
xx. snow-star .xx
Snowstar looked back to her Clan, nodding. They were late, but she'd finally decided upon the first cats to go to the new gathering under her reign of DreamClan. Silverfang, Scarletvixen, Daggerswipes, Heartscar, Snowfalling, and Dawnfire. A small bunch, but it was good enough. Snowstar was incredibly nervous though, she wouldn't be able to meet Earthstar's gaze. What would he say when he saw her, a new face, perched upon the stone where leaders stood...instead of the beloved former DreamClan leader? No, she'd deal with that when it came. Arriving promptly and late, Snowstar jumped upon the rock and ignored their looks of surprise. Earthstar had no idea who she was, but Skystar would remember her as Snowfeather. Her history was...erm, complicated. Why wasn't Hawkstar there?

Lakeclan .:Earthstar:. With a sideways glance at Snowstar the brown tom felt a jolt in his belly. That was the Dreamclan cat. Ha - hopefully she knew who he was now. For some odd reason he felt an urge to impress her. Puffing out his chest in a well practised and rather alamring manner he leapt on the largest of the two stones, noticing with a scan of his pale amber eyes that all the leaders and clans were here. "Enough socializing" he said icily, adressing all four clans and expecting them all to obey. As the hubbub of happily gossiping cats dies Earthstar saw more clearly that not all four leaders were there. Where was Hawkstar? His optics movign quickly over Boulderclan he identified the most important looking feline there, a white she-cat with a couple of black flecks around her muzzle. He decided not to question her, she would explain herself and if she didn't - then he would intervenne. "Cats" he said, in a deep, rich voice, "welcome to the gathering. It is good to see you all here after what happened with the dogs. And now Lakeclan will start us off." He spoke as if every single cat there belonged to Lakeclan and were all under his leadership - leaders and all. Although his tone and words were uncharacteristicly pleasant, his eyes flashed coldly as if to dare anyway to object. "We have three new apprentices" he began, "Stripepaw, Banditpaw and Walnutpaw." He looked around proudly, as if this was a huge acheivment that all the cats should be gasping and mewing impressedly {is that a word? XD} at. "And -" he said, this time smugness entering his voice, "we welcome Cheetahkit, Tigerkit, Lionkit, Pumakit and Leopardkit into Lakeclan." He did not mention their mother or father, instead acting as if they belonged to clan - which they sort of did in theory.... He looked around, contendidly, "anyone else..." he drawled, acting as if no clan could beat the great Lakeclan.
ooc-- That's one messed up kitty!

Sandfire nodded proudly, about to speak but silenced by Earthstar's word. She felt faintly irritated that he had started already, leaving no time for coss-clan catching up. She hid this annoyance from Nightfire however (after all, he was her leader) and turned her eyes up to the Highrock. She noted the new apprentices and lodged the names in her mind. Even in this time of peace as deputy she felt a duty to note possible threats. This mindset also she concealed from Nightfire. She looked around for the other deputies. Mintleaf, looking nervous infront of the Highrock in the company of the other three leaders; Sandfire was very interested in what she had to say, as Boulderclan seemed in turmoil. Then there was Silverfang, watching the proceedings in a calculating, almost bored sort of way. But where was Hyperspirit. She looked around the assembled cats, but still failed to catch sight of Lakeclan's deputy. She resolved to ask Nightfire where he was before the Gathering ended.
Ooc: Rambles a bit but... oh well.
Bic: Silverfang listened to Earthstar lzily, lying almost directly beneath the highrock. That pompous old windbag... Snowstar looked nervous. That was good. He could use her own doubts to his advantage. She seemed to have no idea how much power she really had, still acting like a confused warrior, not even like the deputy she had been. Whereas he, on the other hand, had assumed command and immidiately set about expanding the control that a deputy wielded. And the great thing was - being Dreamclan - everyone was too wrapped up in themselves and Starclan to notice.
Jaypaw bounded along at the side of Cursetwister, eyes now verging on emerald. His first Gathering! He leapt and pounced at the rustling blades of grass until Earthstar began to speak. Then he sat up, listening intently, only tearing his eyes away from the three leaders assembled on the highrock to scan the surrounding cats, the different scents of different Clans flooding his nostrils. He watched Mintleaf trembling beneath the highrock and mewed encouragement softly to her, akthough certain she wouldn't hear. "Don't let them intiminate you, Mintleaf!" His eyes were positively glowing.

Snowstar smirked, nodding. She remembered vividly that Earthstar always went first, always. W-was it just her...or was he trying to impress her? This was good, especially since... No, NO! She couldn't love him, she wouldn't! No...this was terrible, terrible. She stepped forward, nodding and speaking loudly. "Thank you, Earthstar. DreamClan will go next." She cleared her throat, speaking so even the smallest apprentice at the gathering could hear. "Our old leader, Sleetstar, has lost her ninth life. I have taken my trip to Starlight Lake, and I am now Snowstar, leader of DreamClan. Our new deputy is Silverfang. DreamClan also welcomes two new kits: Speckledkit and Waterkit." She stepped back, revealing that she was done. Mission accomplished, she hadn't met Earthstar's gaze.
ooc;; Either Earthstar needs to stop Snowstar, or vice versa. We need them to talk about something afterward XD

{Should Spiritbreaker run in and scream 'LIKE ONGZ, HAWKSTAR DAID. DDDD: LYK ILLNESS.' Or should he wait for her to come back? Or should he go to the Gathering and whisper to Mintleaf?)

ooc-- Earthy stop Snowy. Oooo this'll be awkward.
Lakeclan .:Earthstar:. As the snowy white she-cat lowered her head slightly, her short speech finished he looked at her appreciatively, his eyes sparkling. There was a strange feeling inside his stomach, that he had felt only once before. It tasted like the sweetest honey mixed with the oily taste of just caught fish. It smelt like summer pollen and the wind that blows across Dreamclan and Boulderclan into the Lakeclan camps. It felt like all the best things Earthstar had ever felt. Was it love? He turned his massive head from the leader of Boulderclan, the brown fur on the back of his neck rippling softly as his cranium swiveled to look down into the clearing. There sat Shiningfrost, her pale pelt gleamed softly in the dancing moonlight, her blue eyes turned resolutely from him. He felt a small squirm but it was a different feeling and a little less enjoyable. It made him feel guilty. Was that love? He then turned his green eyes to his paws, staring blankly at the neat, long brown fur that lay in smooth layers arcoss the bone, completely ignoring the other leaders and what news they were sharing about their clans... thinking.
.:Cornflower:. Arriving late for the gathering was not the best way to get a chance to speak to other clans, especially not when you had a control-freak like Earthstar as one of the leaders. She couldn't see how Shiningfrost was attracted to him! Swiveling her washed out yellow eyes onto the tom she scrutinized him from every inch, trying to think how the medicine cats mind worked. It was true that the large tom was quite attractive with hooded eyes and broad, powerfull shoulders. Although his pelt was brown it had many tones of the colour and his winter coat had moulted away, leaving a thin layer of fur which showed off his hard muscles to perfection. But that was only the outside! To her - Earthstar seemed mean, thoughtless and cruel although was taking it a little too far. She supposed she didn't know him as well as Shiningfrost did though and it was true, beneath his tough shell Earthstar often showed flashes of compassion. "Shiningfrost" she mewed softly, so no other cats could hear her and call her disrespectfull. "What's wrong?"

Shiningfrost couldn't admit anything, especially not to anyone in LakeClan. She recognized that look Earthstar had given Snowstar, Shiningfrost knew of it... He loved her. Shiningfrost sighed, remembering her other thoughts. "I was in this exact spot for two moments. One of which was where I pounced to save Earthstar's life, the second was when I met Tanglewood. There was a third thing though...Earthstar never thanked me. I mean...no, just nevermind." She shook her head, sighing.

Ivypaw shook with excitment as she entered into the gathering site.She sat down and looked for any cats to talk too.She spotted Whitepaw the only other apprentice attending the gathering except for her and Cheetahpaw.Ivypaw stood up and padded to the apprentice. "Is this your first gathering?" waiting for a response...

.::Cheetahpaw::. Cheetahpaw nodded importantly, lifting his tail higher and gazing back at Bearface with full defiance. The gruzzled warrior stared fixedly back at him, snorting softly and dipping his head to Mintleaf. Without a word, Bearface padded off, sitting some ways away from the leaders to listen to what they had to say. Letting out some air, he turned to Ivypaw, flicking his tail slightly. "Yeah, I guess so..." Catching sight of the leaders, he paused, sitting down himself. "The leaders are already beginning to speak!"
.::Lionmane::. Once the golden-furred warrior heard the announcements from the leaders, he bounded up to his paws, angling his ears towards them. Kneading the ground impatiently, he strode towards his bear faced brother, settling down beside Bearface to listen intently to the leaders' words. Nothing interesting, he thought idly, optics occasionally straying around to take in every cat.
