- Ashenclaw glanced around nervously as he led the others into the clearing. He took a deep breath as he gazed up at where the leaders were gathered. This was his third Gathering, but it would be his first time without Emberstar, and he hoped he wouldn't embarrass the Clan when he had to make his announcement. He watched as the others disappeared into the crowd, the three apprentices bouncing around with excitement. As he scanned the crowd, he found himself searching for Sheepclaw and decided not to join the leaders just yet so he could have time to talk to her.

Willowcloud and Applepaw walked quietly toward where the medicine cats were gathered, Applepaw looking around for Brindlepaw. Willowcloud smiled when she noticed his gaze darting around the clearing in search of someone. As they approached the medicine cats, he bounded off, having spotted his friend. "Brindlepaw!"

When no one caught her eye or seemed open to conversation, Briardusk sighed and decided to retreat to the edge of the clearing, where she might have a better view of the crowd of cats. As she padded quietly around, she noticed another cat who was seemingly very nervous. "Hey there," she called as she trotted toward him. "You alright?"

"I don't see the point of all this, honestly," Patchthorn grumbled to Frostpath. "Except the leaders making their announcements, of course. Why should we be speaking with and making friends with cats of other Clans? It will only cause trouble, if you ask me." Frostpath couldn't help but agree with him. This was the place where Ashenclaw had met that AsterClan she-cat. Her fur began to bristle at the thought of it. She and the older warrior sat at the edge of the clearing, away from everyone else, waiting for the Gathering to end although they had just arrived.

"It's so huge..." Daisypaw whispered, gaping at the throng of cats. Foxpaw scoffed, "You're not scared, are you? It's not that bad, honestly." An expression of hurt appeared on his sister's face, and she prodded him hard in the ribs. "I'm not scared!" Birchpaw watched his two siblings with amusement before mewing, "Come on, let's just go find other apprentices to talk to."
