"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join here for a clan meeting!"

A clan meeting! Last time it was because Willowstream and Snowstorm found a RedClan cat in our territory. I wonder what it will be about this time.

Amberblaze found a seat next to Toadfur. "I wonder what it will be!" He was jumping around like a kit. Amberblaze shrugged. "Who knows?" She meowed. "Be quiet, you two! Duskstar's about to start!" Snowstorm hissed. The senior warrior, Foxtail, silenced him. "Shut up, Snowstorm. You're making more noise than them." He snapped. Snowstorm looked embarrassed to be yelled at by a senior warrior. He nodded and sat down.

"I have great news for the clan." He began. Amberblaze looked around. He was sitting on the highrock. His medicine cat, Bluefeather, was on his left with Goldfur. On his right was Squirreltail, his deputy. "Today we have four new warriors and three new apprentices. Flashpaw, Leafpaw, Flarepaw, and Wolfpaw." He continued. He beckoned Flashpaw forward with a flick of his tail. Flashpaw was looking very excited. "Flashpaw, do you swear to uphold the warrior code even at the cost of your life?" Duskstar questioned.

"I do." Answered Flashpaw, quivering with excitement. "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Flashpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Flashfire. StarClan thanks you for your courage and spirit." Wolfpaw, Leafpaw, and Flarepaw earned their names as Wolfsong, Leaftail, and Flarestripe. "Flashfire! Wolfsong! Leaftail! Flarestripe!" The clan called out. The four cats went and sat with the warriors. Gingerwing and Redfur, who had been the parents of Flashfire, Wolfsong, Leaftail, and Flarestripe looked very proud. So did Graystorm, Ratfur, Peachfur, and Foxtail. They had mentored the four new warriors. "That is not all," Duskstar reminded his clan. We still have some new apprentices to name."

He looked at Flarelily's kits. They looked ready to be apprentices. "Flarelily's kits have reached their sixth moon. It is time for them to become apprentices." He then beckoned the three kits forward. "Whitekit, Gingerkit, and Jaykit," He began. "From this day forward, until you earn your warrior name you will be known as Whitepaw, Gingerpaw, and Jaypaw. Whitepaw, your mentor will be Sandberry. Gingerpaw, your mentor will be Applefur. Jaypaw, your mentor will be Firebird." Amberblaze watched as the three apprentices ran off to their mentors. "The meeting is dismissed." Duskstar said and disappeared to their mentors.

Jaywillow ran to Amberblaze. "It's a full moon tonight!" She yowled happily.

"We get to go to the gathering!" Every full moon, BlueClan went to a gathering with RedClan. That was the only time the two clans met in peace.

"It depends on if Duskstar lets us go." Amberblaze meowed. "Oh, don't spoil her excitement." Yellowberry meowed from behind them. "I'm sure Duskstar will let her go. Besides, she hasn't been for a while now." Yellowberry was the oldest BlueClan warrior. She'll be retiring to the Elder's den soon. Amberblaze thought. The Elder's den was already crowded. Mossbelly had been in there for a half moon. Mistywing had retired a lot early due to hearing loss. Redpelt and Brakentail had been in there for as long as Amberblaze could remember.

"Hey, Amberblaze!" Wildfur called. "I'm taking out a hunting patrol. Wanna come?" Amberblaze was eating a robin she had picked out from the fresh-kill pile. "Who's all going?" She asked. "I invited Blackwing, Shelltail, Peachfur, and Snowstorm." Wildfur answered. "Sure, I'll come." Amberblaze meowed.

On the patrol the six cats were walking around in the forest. "Can we just split up and go hunting?" Asked Amberblaze. Wildfur shrugged. "Sure. I don't see why not." "Thanks!" Amberblaze purred, than ran off.

Where's the prey around here? Where's the prey? Amberblaze asked herself. Then, she spotted a squirrel. Perfect! She thought. She crept closer, than she pounced and killed it. She picked it up and carried it over to the patrol.

When Amberblaze came back, she had a squirrel and a sparrow. "Great catches!" Flashfire congratulated her. "I'll totally take that squirrel!"

Jaywillow padded up to her. "It's about time to go to the gathering!" She meowed. "Duskstar said you and I could go!" Amberblaze nodded. "Cool!" She meowed. "I can't wait!" "Where were you anyway?" Asked Jaywillow.

Amberblaze licked her paw and drew it over her ear. "I was out hunting." She answered. "You should have invited me!" Jaywillow meowed. "You're my best friend!" Amberblaze felt bad for Jaywillow. "It wasn't my choice." She answered. "Wildfur invited me." Jaywillow's blue eyes stretched wide. "Oh, I see now." She said. "It was you and Wildfur's moment, wasn't it?"

"No," Amberblaze meowed harshly. "He invited A few other cats, too"
