Featherstar paused where she stood outside the den. It was tradition for new warriors or soon-to-be warriors to visit Mothermouth with either their leader or their Medicine Cat, and she had been planning to promote Whitepaw and Smokypaw two suns before the next Gathering. That meant they would have to visit Moonrack soon, and she would like to present the two upcoming warriors to StarClan. But she wondered: were they ready?
It was not like Featherstar could delay any longer. Moonfrost's kits and the orphan, Moonkit, were getting bigger. She shook her head and moved forward. "Whitepaw! Smokypaw!" she called.

Whitepaw was,of course,there first."Yes?"She said,smiling happily.Smokypaw trailed after her more slowly,his head tilted."Hi,Featherstar,"He said,sitting down next to Whitepaw curiously.

A smile played on her lips. They were getting so big. And, soon, Smokypaw would learn the truth. But not now. "I want you two to accompony me to Mothermouth." Featherstar said. "You now what that means, right?"

Smokypaw opened his mouth to speak,and Whitepaw beat him to it."It means we`ll be warriors soon?"The black she-cat said,more of a question then an answer.Smokypaw glared at her."So,will we see the Moon Stone?"

Featherstar nodded. "Yes, it does. I'll be leaving soon. Hurry up and eat something, then go Oakfur and get some traveling herbs. I expect you to meet me by the entrance before the sun reaches -" She jabbed her paw at a spot in the sky, about one hour from now. "That point. I want to be gone by then. If you aren't there, I'll have to leave without you, and I don't want to do that."

Whitepaw`s eyes widened happily,and she took off towards the fresh-kill pile,snatching a small rabbit happily.Smokypaw watched her with rather bored eyes,then he turned to his leader once more."Featherstar?Watch her,"Smokypaw plodded after his friend,pressing against her cheek and purring.Whitepaw giggled,mouth full of rabbit.She dropped it,pushing it to Smokypaw.He smiled happily,eating it.Whitepaw padded to Oakfur`s den,the tom standing outside as still as a tree.Whitepaw mumbled a few words to him,and he nodded,walking into his den,the she-cat following.

Featherstar nodded quizzicly(sp?) and nealt to eat the sparrow she had left nearby. Her tail tip twitched in amuesment. Those two will be great warriors.

Smokypaw finnished the rabbit,and he was soon cleaning his whiskers,a purr still caught in his throat.Whitepaw and himself...Warriors?His ears twitched excitedly just thinking about it.Whitepaw emerged from Oakfur`s den,her face rather hard.She grabbed a vole form the fresh-kill pile,devouring it hungrilly.Oakfur himself emerged form his den,eyes just as hard as Whitepaw`s face.He spotted Featherstar, and plodded over to his leader."Featherstar,are you sure they`re ready to become warriors just yet?Smokypaw,I suppose so.He keeps to himself,but that Whitepaw..."He rasped angrilly,kneading the ground."Quite a sharp tongue that one has!And quick to say what she wants!"He hissed,narrowing his eyes.

"Yes, I suppose she is. That's one of the reasons why she's ready." Featherstar grinned. "If all of our warriors stayed quiet, and never voiced their opinions, then I doubt there'd even be a WindClan. And as for her temper?" she sighed. "Half the cats that have ever been warriors wouldn't have become warriors if they were held back just because of their attitude."

Oakfur smiled halfheartedly,shaking his head."Yes,I suppose you`re right,Featherstar.Just try and teach her some respect for her elders,"He stuck his chin out with an air of elegance,turning around."Oh,yes,I have those herbs ready,whenever you need them,"He threw over his shoulder,padding back into his den to sort some things.Smokypaw watched him go with mild interest.

"Thanks, Oakfur!" she called back. Then she flipped over the rabbit she was eating, and, with a grin at Smokypaw, began to finish eating.

Whitepaw`s blank face suddenly turned into a mischevious smile,and she stalked over to Smokypaw rather clumsily,pouncing ontop of him.Smokypaw yowled with shock,and he happily batted Whitepaw before throwing her off.The she-cat skidded along on the hard earth,grinning deviously.Smokypaw seemed to ignore her,and licked her chest gently,grooming some unsettled fur.WHitepaw looked curious,and bounded over,grabbing Smokypaw around the neck and pinning him.He meowed in protest as she grooomed him delicatly.

Featherstar watched them both out of the corner of her eye as she finished her rabbit in a few quick bites. Let them have their fun. She straightened and walked over to Oakfur. If they were still tussling when she came back out, she just might have to set them straight.

Oakfur was running about his den,making sure everything was in order.He was too busy to notice Featherstar aproach him,and he quietly walked to the back of his cave,remving a stone and uncovering some dirt.A large collection of odd shaped rocks and leaves and a few sparkly stones filled a larger hole,and he stroked it with his paw,purring gently.Oakfur the Packrat,his sister had called him.Oakfur let a sigh escape his lips,covering them in dirt once more and pushing the rock over it.He turned to face Featherstar."Oh,Featherstar!I didnt notice you there!"He said gruffly,grinning sheepishly.
Smokypaw had thrown Whitepaw off again,and she was zipping about.Everythime the tom turned to face her,she was gone again.Suddenly,he felt a pounding weight on his back,and he fel forward as Whitepaw rolle dhim over."Pinned ya,"She purred,nuzzling him silently.Smokypaw opened his mouth in a quiet laugh,rubbing her back.Her slender limbs left Smokypaw lying on the gound,and he flipped over on his side."Whitepaw?"He mewed curiously.Whitepaw stared at him."It`s just....We`ll be warriors soon...Right?"She asked,watching her best friend closesly.He nodded."So,we`ll take on more resonsibility,like training apprentices,"Her eyes shone."And lead patrols.It`ll be amazing!"Smokypaw pushed his head against her cheek,his rumbling purr vibrating Whitepaw`s body."It sure will.It sure will,"Smokypaw`s mind was concentarted on some other things,though.When they were warriors,they could have mates.Smokypaw smiled absently to himself.

Featherstar purred in amusement. "May I have my traveling herbs now, Oakfur?"
