Echo was patiently waiting for a response, when he heard Wildstar's yowl echo through the forest. "We should go see what's up." He meowed in embarrassment, gesturing with his tail for Rabbitpaw to follow. They hadn't gone very far from camp, so it was a short walk before they padded into camp to see Wildstar perched on the Highrock. Echo wasn't sure what was going on, and he didn't know what to do either. He had never seen anything like this before. "What do we do?" Echo whispered to Rabbitpaw, his fur on end as he anxiously gazed around the clearing. Many cats were gathering beneath the large rock, so he guessed the leader had something important to say. Echo shrugged to Rabbitpaw before making himself cozy beneath the rock as the other cats did. He found himself sitting next to Flamepaw, one of the apprentice's, and he smiled at the tom. He looked oddly familiar, but Echo shook it off. He had probably seen him around the territory, like the other clan-cats. "Hi. I'm Echo." Echo whispered happily to the orange tabby. A certain warmness spread through him when the tabby meowed back, and he opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by Wildstar yowling. This better be worth it! I was about to make a new friend! Echo tilted his head in confusion as Wildstar mentioned something called a "gathering". Echo had no idea what this "gathering" was, but it seemed important. He saw Flamepaw stand to his paws and yowl proudly, so Echo did the same. He didn't know why, but he had respect for the orange tabby apprentice, and he felt a need to be just like him.

Flamepaw was woken up when he heard Wildstar's yowl ring through the camp. He licked down a tuft of fur before stretching out his legs, and pushing himself past Applepaw and Apricotpaw to get a good spot under the highrock. He waved his tail in greeting to the she-cats, but he wasn't sure if they had noticed. Flamepaw shrugged before padding off to get cozy underneath the highrock. He searched around for Frostpaw, but saw no sign of her. He sighed softly before returning his gaze to Wildstar; who was proudly gazing upon her clan. Flamepaw closed his eyes and thought about how great it must be to be leader. You can lead your clan, and have them do anything you please. You automatically gain the respect of every cat, and they'll listen to your every word. Flamepaw grinned to himself as he thought about leading his clan one day. Helping organize patrols, calling for clan meetings, seeing the happy faces on newly appointed apprentice's. He wanted to make cats happy, and he knew leaders were one of the most respected and loved cats in the clan. Flamepaw was shaken out of his thoughts when an unknown cat mewled in his ear. Flamepaw turned to see who it was, and saw warm inviting eyes staring into his. He recognized the silver tom on a deep level, but he didn't know why. "Hi. I'm Flamepaw! Are you the loner that came in earlier?" Flamepaw asked happily, but was cut off by Wildstar's yowl. His fur puffed up as Wildstar mentioned the gathering, and he immediately stood to his paws and yowled happily. This would be my first Gathering! Flamepaw murmured under his breath, his whiskers twitching as he hoped he would be chosen.
(Flamepaw and Echo obviously want to go, but Echo doesn't even know what a gathering is so xD)
