The day after their practice day they continue walking through the ravine.
"How long have we been gone?" Cocoapaw asks.
Everyone pauses a second to think.
Hazelstripe is first to answer, "23 sunrises," she answers.
"Wow," Cocoapaws eyes are wide, "I miss home. I can't wait to see our family again," he presses against Heatherfur.
"Me too," Heatherfur looks at her paws as she walks, "me too."
"Who goes there?" A she-cat asks, her voice shaking although her word choice is confident.
"It depends," Burntwhisker mewed.
"You're identity doesn't change based on who you're with," The cat mews, stepping out of the shadows, "my names Honey."
"I'm Burntwhisker," Burntwhisker mews, and this is-"
"Ceaderstripe," Ceaderstripe steps forward.
"Heatherfur and Cocoapaw," Heatherfur dips her head to her son beside her.
"I'm Hemlockheart and these are my kits; Flamekit, Copperkit, Birdkit, and Rainkit," Hemlockheart mews, tapping her tail on each ones head in turn.
"I'm her mate, Shrewtail," Shrewtail lays his tail on her back.
"I'm Froststar and this is Hazelstripe," Froststar and Hazelstripe both wave their tails in greeting.
"Brightpaw," Brightpaw dips their head, "and I'm not a girl."
"Note taken," Honey nods.
"I'm Pinestripe, this is Fluffypelt," Pinestripe tilts her head to Fluffypelt who stands in the back shyly.
"Wow," Honey blinks three times, "there's a lot of you. Definitely not as many as- what are they? Uh- something clan."
"Oceanclan!" Ceaderstripe jumps excitedly.
"Yeah, I think that's it!" Honey nods.
"We're here to help them," Froststar explains.
"There's a huge flood coming very soon. I suggest you leave the ravine," Burntwhisker adds.
"A flood? There hasn't been water all the way down here since- I don't even remember," Honey laughs.
"Your the one in danger, we know what we're doing," Ceaderstripe rolls her eyes.
"Somewhat," Brightpaw mutters.
Ceaderstripe shoots a glare at her.
I'm trying to convince her to save her own life smart one.
"We'll I best be going," Honey mews, "you guys obviously have a game to get back to or whatever."
"We're not joking," Shrewtail Growls.
"This is no game," Hemlockheart adds.
"Sure, sure, ok," Honey rolls her eyes, "my kits are more mature than you guys," she laughs and disappears up the cliff wall.
"She's a mouse brain," Cocoapaw states.
Everyone laughs then murmurs their agreement.

Ceaderstripe sniffs the air amd breathes in the fresh air. Its almost New Leaf, the snow on top of Frostclans mountain would be the only snow left until next Leaf Bare. By the time they got back New Leaf would be in full swing with more prey and herbs for plenty.
The sun however is clouded over with clouds, rain would be coming soon.
"We should find somewhere sheltered to make camp for the night," Shrewtail suggests.
"I myself don't want to be soaked," Fluffypelt laughs.
"Its only Sunhigh!" Cocoapaw objects.
"Fine, but when it starts raining and Fluffypelt is complaining you get to walk in back with her," Heatherfur mews.
"Ok!" Cocoapaw bounces forwards.
Fluffypelt grumbles but they continue walking.

"Mama!" Copperkit shakes his fur until he's spiked up and poofy, "I'm a cloud!"
Birdkit shoves him aside and fluffs herself up, "no I am!"
Rainkit fluffs herself up, "I'm a rain cloud," she laughs.
"I'm a- uh- mud cloud!" Copperkit stumbles over, fur fluffed like his litter mates.
"You can all be clouds," Hemlockheart laughs.
I'm excited to have kits of my own, Ceaderstripe looks to Burntwhisker, hopefully he still wants that.
