Shadowpaw looked up at the brown tabby tom for a moment. "Uh, yes…" She muttered, a bit awkwardly.
Stormpaw smiled, "finally!" he mewed, "I've been really wanting to meet a ShadowClan cat! I'm Stormpaw! I was one of the cats on the journey to save your clan!" he spoke rather fast but the apprentice he was talking to seemed to understand just fine.
Swiftstar pressed her head to Springheart's. "Sorry, love, I have to get up there, I must speak with Squirrelstar privately before she starts the gathering without me." She padded towards the tree with a quick glance over her shoulder at her mate.
Springheart pressed back for the few moments they were together, she looked up, her tail curling around her paws as her mate spoke to her. "No worries, love." she nodded. She watched Swiftstar smile at her before leaping up into the tree, sitting beside the muscular RiverClan leader.
The brown she-cat couldn't help but smirk at their vast height difference, Squirrelstar looking the size of a badger compared to her mate.

SQUIRRELSTAR <33 LETS GOOOOO //
Just moments ago, Squirrelstar had welcomed Shadowstar as ShadowClan's newest leader. Having news of new warriors and the like, she was eager to get the gathering started.
She scanned the crowd, looking for her kits. As she saw her kits, sitting together and chatting excitedly, she smiled with pride. She took a deep breath, remembering her son, Milkpaw-no, Milkstrike, who was killed during the battle. It would have been an honor for her to report how he was a warrior beside his littermates, happy and healthy, but instead, he was going to be announced as dead and given a dying apprentice ceremony.
Squirrelstar began to grow quiet, that was until she saw a flicker of movement below the tree. The muscular she-cat's face changed as she watched in amusement as WindClan's leader, Swiftstar, climbed the tree. Squirrelstar watched as the small tabby hauled herself to sit beside her.
"Hello, Swiftstar." the RiverClan leader purred, looking down at the gray tabby after she was seated. "It's great to see you climbing the tree instead of falling out of it."
Squirrelstar <33 I love <33 //
Vixenpaw sat, listening to the other apprentices talk for a while. The tom he couldn't stop glancing at, Koipaw, kept smiling at him and making him flustered For the first time in his life, he found himself at a loss for words.
"Oh, very funny Squirrelstar," Swiftstar said, trying hard not to smile. She took her place by Squirrelstar and Shadowstar, quietly congratulating the tom on his leadership. Out the corner of her eye, she saw Fawnstar moving quickly through the crowd from the edge of the clearing towards them. As he pulled himself up next to the other leaders, she once again congratulated the new leader. As she sat by them, waiting for Squirrelstar to start the gathering, she realised how tall the other leaders were and tried to sit straighter for extra height.
Stormpaw smiled, "finally!" he mewed, "I've been really wanting to meet a ShadowClan cat! I'm Stormpaw! I was one of the cats on the journey to save your clan!" he spoke rather fast but the apprentice he was talking to seemed to understand just fine.
"Oh, really?" Shadowpaw hadn't been there, but she remembered hearing the story from some of the older apprentices. "I'm Shadowpaw. It's nice to meet you." She glanced around, feeling a bit unsure of herself.
…tried to sit straighter for extra height.
heh- Shortstar- //
Squirrelstar looked over at the golden-brown speckled tom, Fawnstar. The ThunderClan tom looked a bit nervous and Squirrelstar was quiet once more. It wasn't that she didn't trust ThunderClan, but her views on them had changed. She could only wonder how StarClan had even granted Whitestar nine lives.
Her fluffy tail twitched before she dipped her head respectfully, giving a small greeting and congratulations to the other new leader.
"Good evening, Fawnstar," she paused for a heartbeat, “…er, Congratulations.”
She looked away, beginning to look around, watching some cats walking around and trying to find a spot to sit to watch the gathering.
Squirrelstar watched a few apprentices chat, their supposed mentors or parents calling out to them to sit and they all raced over to sit down beside the fully grown cats.
The muscular she-cat smiled, shuffling to sit a bit more upright before clearing her throat and yowling out.
“Let the Gathering Begin!”
"Oh, really?" Shadowpaw hadn't been there, but she remembered hearing the story from some of the older apprentices. "I'm Shadowpaw. It's nice to meet you." She glanced around, feeling a bit unsure of herself.
Stormpaw opened his mouth to respond but was cut off by Squirrelstar’s booming yowl from high above. He looked over to see all four leaders sitting high above the other cats, silverpelt shimmering bright above the island.
“Shadowpaw!” a thick-furred, ginger-and-black tom came padding over, hissing quietly to the small ShadowClan apprentice. He looked a little bit older than Stormpaw.
“Come on! Hollypaw was about to rip his whiskers off looking for you!”
Just as this unknown ShadowClan tom came over, another voice called out. This one being one he recognized.
“Stormpaw!”
The brown tabby tom's ears swiveled over to where the noise was, looking over his shoulder to see none other than Barkclaw nodding at him.
“Let's go sit, the gathering’s about to begin.” his mentor mewed, looking over at the ShadowClan apprentices before looking back at him.
“Oh- uh, right! Bye Shadowpaw, it was nice to meet you!" Stormpaw flicked his ears and gave her a small smile. The large tom beside her narrowed his eyes, looking suspicious as he gave him a full-body scan.
’What’s up with this tom?’ He thought, blinking, slightly puzzled.
Btw- yes, it’s Adderpaw who came over lol //
also- sorry if you were doing something and then- boom- the gathering starts- //
EDIT; I just saw a couple spelling mistakes- whoops- had to fix those lol //
(Lol it's good. I love seeing Adderpaw get jealous.)
Adderpaw's personality is just jealously LMAO /j //
(It's cute tho)
(Shadowpaw's officially part of the Clans Divided squad now)
Shadowpaw watched Stormpaw walk away, then turned to Adderpaw. "Come on, let's go find Hollypaw." She flicked him with her tail as she passed. "Oh, and… are you gonna do that every time I talk to a tom?" She asked, slightly amused.
~
Mistpaw looked up at Squirrelstar's words. "Well, I've gotta go," She briefly nuzzle Flamepaw. "But I'll see you later, okay?" With that, she padded off to find Owlheart.
Shadowpaw watched Stormpaw walk away, then turned to Adderpaw. "Come one, let's go find Hollypaw." She flicked him with her tail as she passed. "Oh, and… are you gonna do that every time I talk to a tom?" She asked, slightly amused.
Adderpaw scoffed, "only the ones I don't trust." he mewed, walking beside her. It was only a couple of pawsteps later that he and Shadowpaw reached the other ShadowClan apprentices.
Clearpaw, an albino she-cat, and Dipperpaw, a golden-brown tabby, were sitting beside each other talking quietly as the gathering was settling. Adderpaw cast one quick look at Shadowpaw before he walked off to sit beside Clearpaw when he noticed Hollypaw practically running towards Shadowpaw, looking relieved.
Mistpaw looked up at Squirrelstar's words. "Well, I've gotta go," She briefly nuzzle Flamepaw. "But I'll see you later, okay?" With that, she padded off to find Owlheart.
Stormpaw was padding alongside Barkclaw, the two brown tabby-toms heading towards a space to sit when suddenly he noticed his sister's blue pelt. "Mistpaw!" he calls out to his littermate. He watches as her ears perk up and she looks over at him. He smiles at her, watching as she begins to trot over.
When Mistpaw was beside him Stormpaw blinked, thinking he could smell ThunderClan scent on his sister. "Were you talking to some ThunderClan cats?" he whispered, tilting his head to the side slightly.
Fawnstar thanked the others leaders quietly and shuffled his paws. He saw Squirrelstar's glance his way and felt the tip of his ears burn with embarrassment. He desperately wanted the leader's approval, she was the oldest leader in the forest and everyone respected her word. He looked down to the cats below, watching them shuffle about, back to their respective clans. ThunderClan didn't seem to branch out into the other clans at all, they all stayed as one group. Any cats that didn't stay with the clan were shot looks of suspicion by others. As he waited for the crowd to settle down, his mind wandered to the conversation he just had with Hawkwillow and he felt the tips of his ears start to burn again.
Vixenpaw trotted up next to Stormpaw and Mistpaw, trying to keep himself from grinning. "What are you mouse brains up to?" He said, barely keeping a straight face.
Shadowpaw shook her head at Adderpaw's response letting out a quiet laugh. She playfully stuck her tongue out at him when he looked back at her. She sat next to Hollypaw, assuring him that she was fine.
~
"Yeah, I was." Mistpaw replied, unable to keep herself from smiling. Flamepaw always managed to make her feel so happy. She turned at the sound of Vixenpaw's voice. "Hey." She whispered. "We were just talking. Where'd you go off to?"
Stormpaw looked at Mistpaw before turning his head and nodding, agreeing with his sister. "yeah, where'd you go? I haven't seen you anywhere, and I was practically all over the island!" he twitched his whisker, looking at the taller apprentice with a questioning look. "I don't think I saw you with the medicine cats," Stormpaw said, now thinking.
"I was- uh- with some RiverClan cats! Yeah! Well, where were you guys? I didn't see you either-" Vixenpaw stammered, looking awkward. Why did I have to act so suspicious? That was the truth, he thought, confused by his own brain. He looked away from his friends, his tail twitching. Act normal, mousebrain! They're gonna think you've done something bad! He scolded himself.
Mistpaw blinked, tilting her head at Vixenpaw. She knew that there was something he wasn't telling them, but she decided to let it go. "I was talking with some ThunderClan cats. And remember Skunk? She's Skunkstripe now."
Stormpaw narrowed his eyes at Vixenpaw but shrugged and turned to face his sister.
"Woah! So she joined ShadowClan! That's great! Hopefully, she's enjoying clan life!" he smiled, thinking of the large she-cat, though sometimes, she did scare him. He remembered a time when she had almost trod on his tail during the journey and instead of apologizing, she just curled her lip and pushed past him, almost knocking him off his paws.
He was quickly silenced by Springheart, who he hadn't even noticed was there. Mistpaw and Vixenpaw too jumped in surprise. "the gathering is about to begin." she whispered before she sighed, "oh, Stormpaw, your fur is a mess… please groom yourself. Look at your sister, Mistpaw is nice and groomed, very pretty and you look like you've just rolled out of your nest." Stormpaw groaned, giving his chest fur a few quick licks.
Springheart, while her son gave himself a quick grooming, nuzzled the top of Mistpaw's head, purring. "I'm so proud of you," the former queen whispered to her daughter before looking over at Vixenpaw and giving the dark ginger medicine cat apprentice a gentle nod.
Barkclaw watched Springheart for a second before looking over and trying to find Owlheart from the crowd of cats around them. The gathering was about to start and he was certain that the cream she-cat would want to be beside her apprentice.

Mistpaw giggled, nudging Stormpaw playfully as he groomed himself. She smiled at her mother and Vixenpaw, brushing her tail affectionately against her friend's flank.
