Honeystar had been listening to the other leaders, and pity stirred when she heard Caveclan's news. Finally, it was her turn and she stepped up, slightly nervous. This was her first Gathering, after all. "Forestclan may be a new clan, but we are growing. My deputy is Birchnose, medicine cat is Crowcloud, and our two warriors are Acornstream and Duckpelt. We accept Thicketclan's offer of an alliance and wish them well." She paused for a moment. Was there anything else she wanted to say? Yes. "Forestclan is willing to extend the offer of an alliance." She nodded to the other leaders in respect. "We have nothing more to say." She leapt down from the rock, waving her tail to signal to her clan that it was time to leave. Once she had gathered everyone, they left and it wasn't until the next morning that they arrived back in their camp.

Birchnose nodded, happy that someone was talking to her. "Yeah," she said. "Forestclan was founded only a few moons ago, and this is our first Gathering." She cocked her head, always curious. "And you?" She realized just then that Honeystar had finished speaking and was silently calling for them to leave. "I'm sorry," she said, "but I have to go. I hope to see you at the next Gathering!"

Crowcloud listened as the leaders spoke and when Honeystar had finished, apologized to the other medicine cats. "I have to go," he said apologetically. "I hope to see you all at the next Gathering."

Acornstream listened carefully to the announcements and when Honeystar jumped down, he knew it was time to leave. "I wish you and your clan nothing but good," he said. "I hope to see you again." He and Duckpelt followed Honeystar home.
