"Wait, really?!" Sammy squeaked, his eyes widening in surprise. Chuckling softly, Pikestar nodded his head and stated, "I would consider it an honor to have you join MinnowClan."

"Pikestar, are you sure? What if he isn't cut out for clan life?" Woodfeather questioned, his voice heavy with concern. Looking up at the much bigger tom, Pikestar replied, "It doesn't matter what I think, it only matters what SpiritClan thinks."

"...so... no?"

"I'll prove myself! I'll prove myself worthy of MinnowClan!" Sammy declared, puffing his chest out pridefully. At that moment, Amaya's soft voice could be heard squeaking, "What?! Sammy, who are these cats?" Everyone looked up to see the small white she kit perched on the fence. Smiling nervously, Sammy stuttered, "Um, hi Amaya. I found MinnowClan warriors."

"How about you sleep on it tonight Sammy, make your decision in the morning. Tomorrow, Woodfeather will meet you here to receive your answer," Pikestar spoke softly, touching his nose to Sammy's ear. With a flick of his tail, the older cat beckoned Woodfeather to follow. Together, the two MinnowClan warriors disappeared into the dark forest. Watching them, Sammy couldn't help but wish he was going with them. "Sammy?" Amaya meowed, jumping down to join her brother's side, "What's going on?"

"I was invited to join MinnowClan," Sammy answered, "And I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna join them."
