The first gathering

[hailstorm]

As the full moon shone upon them, Dipperstar and his cats entered the field where all the clans met for a gathering under the stars. He waved his tail to draw his clan members closer.
"Now remember, I don't want any quarreling with Stormclan tonight. In fact it would be best if you don't mention the episode at all." Finishing his short speech he shone with confidence, hoping it would help any uncertain cat perk up. He padded into the open field, heading for the rocks. With his nose towards the sky he declared: "We're the first here, but the others will be here soon."
With a flick of his tail he let his cats make themselves comfortable and walked to the base of the rocks to wait.

Rainpelt swept through the bushes that covered the entrance to the moon swept field. Behind him, the clan waited nervously. Not only were the majority of the warriors there, they were also lead by a deputy. A deputy! Me. By the looks of it, soon to be a leader. Allowing himself only a moment's thought, Rainpelt looked around, quickly glancing through the ranks of his cats. All were nervous, ready, waiting.

For his signal.

"Right then," He started, voice so soft that the cats had to strain to hear him. "I don't want any funny business with Sunclan. We won, they lost. End of story. The thing that we are to focus on today is that fox scent that was found- Featherclan territory practically reeked of it, and I bet they want payment for helping with Sunclan. Keep quiet, stay smart. Act like a Stromclan warrior."

He finished and leapt forward. Behind him, his clan streamed out to follow. Racing forward, he led his clan across the field and to the boulders that the leaders sat at. While the rest of the clan peeled away and began to converse with the cats that had already arrived, Rainpelt trotted forward, leaping up to one of the lower rocks, were the leaders conversed before a meeting. Dipperstar appeared to be the only leader present. It would have to be Sunclan.

"Greeting, Dipperstar." Rainpelt politely nodded his head.

Mintblossom was right behind Dipperstar when Sunclan walked in. She had to push away the nightmare of Stormclan killing her and worse, Dipperstar. She sat in the deputy spot and began to talk to Stormclan, being friendly. She nodded toward Rainpelt and asked, "How has the prey been? Ours has been not bad. Not bad at all." She changed her expression to serious. "We have found mice with sharp things inside them on our territory. They looked like... claws," Mintblossom meowed fearfully.

[hailstorm]

Dipperstar was shocked by the great numbers of Stormclan Warriors, but his face was like stone, not giving his emotions away.
"Greetings, Rainpelt." Dipperstar returned the nod. "I hope you don't mind if I ask, but where is Spicestar tonight? Nothing bad happening I hope." His voice was completely sincere, more after seasons of experience than actuall concern, but most cats couldn't tell the difference. His eyes remained completely steady while he spoke, strengthening the illusion.

Mintblossom nodded. "Is everything okay in Stormclan? Don't worry, Sunclan doesn't raid using deputies. I just want to be sure," Mintblossom meowed, worrying about Spicestar. She realized she wasn't wanted in the conversation and walked away, stopping to talk to Swiftheart. "How are the herbs? Please excuse me, I am very meowative," She meowed. Mintblossom waited for a reply, thinking that she might be too small for larger cats like Spicestar and Swiftheart to be heard. "Never mind," She meowed. She strode toward the deputy spot and sat.

Sootclaw crouched at the edge of the clearly where he could have a clear view of anything happening, curling his tail tightly around him he pricked his ears forward trying to catch any conversations he found interesting. He looked up to Dipperstar, his leader then Spicestar the leader of Stormclan. With a sigh he calmed his thinking and carelessly looked about, from face to tail trying to catch any familiar face.

[spicestar]

Snowbound padded into the moonlit clearing, her eyes shining with enthusiasm. Was she the first medic there, she looked around; it seemed like it. She spotted the leaders and padded over, "Greetings" she spoke, calm and softly.

MEANWHILE

Back at camp Spice lay in her den, her warriors had forced her to stay from the gathering, as she had greencough, and it was getting worse day by day.

[hailstorm]

Dipperstar followed Mintblossom with his eyes as she walked away. He knew she had learned much since her days as a kittypet, but the other clans might not have seen her somewhat uncertain actions that way.
He realized he should tell her later, and even if she didn't feel uncertain he would try to make her seem more confident among the rest of the clans on the next gathering.
The Sunclan leader noticed Sootclaw pretty far away and gave a small nod before returning his attention to Rainpelt.
He heard a soft voice behind his head and turned around quickly. "Greetings, Snowbound. Good hunting?"

[Questfeather]

Questpaw looked up at the sky, the moon was full and the sky was clear. 'Its so pretty.' she thought. This was her first gathering and she wanted to savor it. She looked at her pelt. Her beautiful dappled, silver tabby fur had turned to white from the light of the moon. As she strode on, she made her way to the gathering she could smell SunClan and StormClan. "this will be fun" She thought to herself knowing about the history of these two clans. She finally strode into the gathering clearing.

Smokefoot followed behind Rainpelt shortly after he finished speaking, he carefully chose his seat at the edge of the field. It was rather annoying for him to be caught in the middle waiting for all the cats to move out till he could. It was alot easier to leave on the edge of the gathering. He felt that Spicestar should and shouldn't have stayed back at camp. Not seeing Stormclan's leader, Sunclan my assume the clan is weak with they're leader not being fit enough to travel to the gathering. Then again, if Spicestar had come, they would see for themselves that she wasn't in good shape.
