Darkstar was quiet proud of Santa and his patrol for chasing out the badgers that had invaded their territory. She was also glad it was before they had any babies, so that she did not need to feel bad about displacing a young family.
Darkstar, on the other paw, was plagued by memories about a mysterious tom that she had seen at the last gathering. She could not tell if he was apart of any clan, but he seemed like he wasn't. She felt an insatiable need to figure it out, and had plans to meet up with him to find out.
Snowbell saw Emberclaw limpng back into camp with Santa's patrol and wondered what had happened. He was jealous that he was not able to go and chase out the badgers, and wanted to find out everything.
"Hey, Emberclaw," He said as he helped her to the medicine den, "What happened with the badgers?"
He tried, unsuccessfully, to hide his interest and slightly jealous tone; but failed horribly.
"Well," she said as she carefully laid down in a nest, "if you feel like sticking around I can tell you all about it."
She chuckled to herself as he quickly flopped down next to her, waiting impatiently for her to tell the story. She did admire his enthusiasm.
He listened intently to what Emberclaw had said, growing more and more fascinated as she spoke. The was she got to animated with her description of the battle made him think about her in a different light. He was mesmerized by the glittering of her eyes, the way the light shined off her fur.
Jackrabbit laid in her favorite spot, sunlight shining off her fur. She looked out over the rest of the clan, laughing as she saw how some of them interacted together. Smokestripe watched her kits play, while Greystripe settled himself into a sunny spot outside the elder's den. Blackpaw was stalking a leaf, trying his best to fight it and win. She saw that there was several cats that had sectioned themselves off together, Gingerstorm being the only one sitting alone.
She knew that he was always a private tom, and always a loner even in the large clan setting, but she did not know why. He was a very handsome tom, and she had repeatedly seen how often the rest of the females in the clan looked at him. She had to admit that even she had looked at him that way as well, but she would never try. She was just a plain, boring she-cat, she never stood a chance against the more pretty members of the clan.
Gingerstorm had noted repeatedly the looks that he had gotten from the rest of the clan, and paid them little mind. He was waiting for the right she-cat to come along, and he had yet to find her. While he was scanning camp, he did note that Jackrabbit was staring at him. She was always such a different cat, a very indifferent cat towards much of clan life, though she was fiercely loyal and he did admire that in her.

When an apprentice is ready to become a warrior, they shall go on a week long quest into the Two-Leg territory on the western boarder, where they will look for a monkey by the name of Fitzgerald, and he will make their new clan collar for them. If they succeed then they shall be welcomed back to the clan as a full warrior, if they do not then they will have to train for an additional moon before they are able to try again. If they fail a second time, they are banished from the clan for weakness and a disrespect for clan tradition and law.
