Nightpaw stared up at the full moon. Tonight, she would be going to the gathering along with Daypaw, Rainpaw, and Snowpaw. Rainpaw and Snowpaw had become apprentices half a moon after Daypaw and Nightpaw. They had been apprenticed to Lionblaze and Cinderheart, respectively.

Hollypaw bounded over.

"You have to tell us what happens at the gathering!"she said.

"I will, I promise,"Daypaw answered.

"Us too?"Bouncekit lived up to her namesake as she asked the question.

"Well, unless you might get in trouble because you tell us what happens,"Blossomkit said, as always, tempering her sister's enthusiasm.

"Don't worry, I doubt we will,"Rainpaw answered.

"Come on! They're leaving!"Snowpaw exclaimed suddenly.

"We'd better go! See ya!"Rainpaw cried out as she raced after her sister.

Daypaw and Nightpaw followed suit, yelling good-byes over their shoulders.

When they had caught up with the others, Night whispered to them,"With all that we've imagined, the reality of this night is sure to make this... The Best Night Ever!"

For some reason, those words sounded strangely familiar.

Daypaw stared around the island. Her sister and friends did the same.

"Whoa, this place is huge!"

Rainpaw, unsurprisingly, was the first one to speak.

"Why don't you meet some of the other apprentices?"

Cinderheart surprised them from behind.

"It looks like there are some over there."

"Sure,"Daypaw answered.

They walked over to the group.

"Hi, there!" a grayish tom with golden eyes said as Daypaw and her friends neared them.

"Hi, I'm Daypaw. This is my sister Nightpaw, and these are Rainpaw and Snowpaw,"Daypaw answered.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Fogpaw. This is my brother, Shadowpaw,"Fogpaw pointed to a black tom with amber eyes,"this is my other brother, Blackpaw," he pointed to a ginger tom with golden eyes"and this is my sister, Darkpaw." Darkpaw had the same color scheme as Shadowpaw, except with green eyes.

"Hi,"each of them said.

"So, what clan are you from?"Nightpaw asked.

"ShadowClan,"Fogpaw answered immediately,"What about you?"

"ThunderClan,"Nightpaw answered.

"We could tell,"Shadowpaw said.

"Don't be so rude!"Darkpaw admonished.

Shadowpaw rolled his eyes and turned away.

"Don't mind him,"Blackpaw said,"He's not very social."

"You should have seen him when we first came to ShadowClan! With how hostile he acted, I'm surprised they even let us stay the night, let alone for good,"Fogpaw said.

"You're not born in the clans either!"Nightpaw questioned.

"No... Wait. Did you say either?"Fogpaw exclaimed.

"We weren't born in the clans! My father told us to come here before he died! We just got here a moon ago!"Nightpaw said.

"So, this is your first gathering as well?"Fogpaw asked.

"Yeah!"Nightpaw answered.

Just as Fogpaw seemed to be about to say more, a yowl was heard. The leaders had called the gathering together.

Rowanstar, a dark ginger tom with green eyes, began.

"Food is plentiful as always in green leaf, and ShadowClan are thankful for it. The Twolegs have come as usual to the beach and clearing but ShadowClan are not troubled by them. We have four new apprentices. Shadowpaw, Blackpaw, Fogpaw, and Darkpaw have only recently joined our clan, but I am sure they will become great warriors that will help their clan."

ThunderClan and ShadowClan cheered loudly for the new apprentices, but there were confused murmurs from the other two clans.

"They're not Clanborn?"Nightcloud, a black she-cat with amber eyes, asked.

"No, they have travelled far to avoid Twolegs that destroyed their home,"Rowanstar said.

Some of the cats who were on the Great Journey let out sympathetic murmurs.

"And one of their names is Shadowpaw?"Onestar, a small, mottled, light-brown tabby tom with amber eyes,asked.

"Yes, we considered that, but Littlecloud had a sign that told us to accept these cats,"Rowanstar said.

"Very well,"Onestar answered.

"Now, I believe it is ThunderClan's turn to speak,"Bramblestar said,"We too, have four new apprentices: Nightpaw, Daypaw, Rainpaw, and Snowpaw. They are not Clanborn either. They came almost two moons ago, along with six other, younger kits. Four of them, two of them being present here, are kits of Ravenpaw, and the other six are kin to these four. ThunderClan is unwilling to turn away any kin of Ravenpaw's. Other than that, prey is plentiful and there has been little sickness."

"RiverClan's turn,"said Mistystar,"We have little to report."

"Same with WindClan,"said Onestar.

Meanwhile, Daypaw had turned back to her friends, new, and old.

"It was nice to meet you all. Maybe we'll see each other next time!"said Nightpaw, though Daypaw noticed her gaze linger on Fogpaw.

Now that she thought about it, Nightaw and Fogpaw had been speaking to each other the whole gathering, whispering when the leaders had been speaking.

Daypaw sighed. It looked like she and her sister were about to have a long talk about the warrior code.

Author's Note

You should be able to guess who is who(As in Fogpaw = Discord/Sombra/Tirek/Chrysalis). A yay to the first person who guesses right!
