Smokypaw looked stunned for a moment,but turned his burning gaze on Featherstar,tail straight up in the air."My father would...He wouldn`t....He couldnt!He-he-No!"Smokypaw turned back to Tallstar,eyes wide with confusion."Why were`nt you watching?Why were`nt you there to justify my father?What were you busy watching?Because of you,I dont have anything to go home to!"Tears began welling up in Smokypaw`s now dull blue eyes,and he turned back to Featherstar."And you!Why didnt you tell me??You lied to me instead!!Did you think I didint NEED to knwo the truth?Anymore secrets I should know about???Maybe about Whitepaw?"He plopped himself down on the ground,exahausted from his rampage.

A hurt look crossed across Featherstar's face. "Smokypaw, what would you have done had you known then? You were barely an apprentice when you asked me about him. And you know everything about Whitepaw. Besides, what do you mean you don't have anything to go home to? You have friends, you have Whitepaw!" Tallstar blinked and frowned. "We had our reasons."

Smokypaw let tears stream down his face for a while before he spoke."Maybe I do have friends.Sure,I`ve got Whitepaw.But,ever notice something else?I dont have any other friends!Because nobody else likes me!Even my mentor doesnt like me enough to stay and train with me,so I DONT HAVE TO TRAIN WITH LIGHTNINGFIRE!And you would know that if you ever LISTENED!"Smokypaw leapt to his paws again,pacing about angrilly,trying to wake himself up.

"Moonfrost had kits, and we didn't know she was going to have kits until after your ceremony. And even then she trained with you as long as she could before she couldn't. And she passed you to Lightningfire, her mate and the deputy, because she wished for you to have the best training. And I'd like to consider you my friend, Smokypaw, and I know both Lightningfire and Moonfrost are proud of you. Even Oakfur complimented you, and he isn't free with those, as you very well know." Featherstar wlked over to him and placed her tail over his shoulders, trying to stop his pacing.

Smokypaw desperately tried to hold back shoving his leader`s tail off him,causing him to tremble violently.He wasnt taking in a word of what anyone was saying now.He could just mutter angrilly."But I dont LIKE him!"Smokypaw finnaly hissed,voice rattled by the trembling."And I never will!"The tear had stopped ot make room for vicious anger again.He wanted to get rid of Featherstar`s tail off his shoulder right now,but the more he looked at it,the more comforted he felt.Whitepaw!It looked like Whitepaws tail!Suddenly,he realised what he wanted."Get Whitepaw,"He said firmly.

Featherstar looked even more hurt than she had a moment ago, if that were possible. She flashed an angry glare at Tallstar, which said something along the lines of, "If you had let me tell him my way, none of this would have ever happened!" Tallstar just frowned and closed his eyes. Seconds later he vanished.
"Whitepaw." That was all Tallstar said, but his hazy form beckoned with one paw towards the apprentice.

Whitepaw jumped in suprise again,fur bristling.Her anger and shock became happiness as she plodded ober to the stone,touching her nose to it.She just supresed a shudder before she fell into a deep sleep.
Whitepaw blinked her eyes around at the cats,eyes widening in happiness."Wow!"SHe rana round,looking at them all curiously.Until,of course,she realised Smokypaw was extremely upset.Whitepaw carefully licked his cheek,feeling him shudder with every breath.NOw,instead of happy,she was mildly angry."What did you do to him?"She whirled upon Tallstar.Before he replied,a voice ran out across the clearing."Nothing.They did nothing,"A slim young she-cat stepped forward,a beautifull black pelt,white a slice of white on her chest.Whitepaw looked shocked.

An unreadable look passed across Featherstar's face. "Hello." She licked her chest, avoiding the other she-cat's gaze.

Whitepaw danced around Mooncrescent,licking her face when possible.Whitepaw`s mother smiled gently.but stepped up,coming up to Featherstar."Hello,Featherstar.It`s been a while,"Her eyes flashed and flickered around for a moment,but rested Smokypaw this time."There will always be cats you dont like.Heck,somtimes,when I think back,I wasnt too fond of my mentor either.Eveyone has their moments.You`ll learn to like Lightningfire eventually.And we cant always chose our parentage.Now,shape up,"Moncrescent`s smile was soft,her voice sweet.Smokypaw just looked down at his paws.She turned back,but still not to Featherstar.Just looking at Tallstar."I think that`ll do,"

Featherstar looked up, her eyes slightly watery. "Mooncrescent, I... I'm sorry." she stammered. "I...I should have been there...but it was my first Gathering as a warrior...I know I said I'd...but...I'm sorry." she babbled.

Mooncrescent finnaly looked at Featherstar.Her gaze lingered for a moment,then glazed over.She clsoed her green eyes and rested her tail on Featherstar."Hush,Featherstar.Do not apologise,"She touched her nose to Featherstar`s cheek,sighing."Dont worry about the past.Only look forward to the future,"She nodded pleasently."It`s good to see you again,friend,"

Featherstar sighed and closed her eyes, swallowing the lump in her throat. It is good to see you, too, my friend." She opened her eyes again and set herself to regaining her composure. "Well, then. It seems that is that." She sniffed again, then purred and touched her nose to Mooncrescent's. "I've missed you. A lot."

Mooncrescent noded."As have I.Not one day has gone past that I havnt thought about you,"Mooncrescent`s smiled faltered for a moment,but reapeared stronger than ever."But I we can still see each other.And I`ve always waited for this moment,"Mooncrescent swivvled her head around to Whitepaw for a moment,then back to Featherstar."Now,you best take them home.I think they`ve heard enough,"She licked Featherstar on the bridge of the nose,then turned and flicked Whitepaw on the shoulder."Goodbye,sweet Whitepaw,"And Whitepaw felt her eyes watering.She saw everything begining to fade,but she jumped for her mother.The next thing she knew,she was jumping away from the Moonstone.Her lip began to tremble.Smokypaw snapped awake,jumping up aswell.He still looked rather upset,but had atleast calmed down mostly.

Featherstar woke, her head curled away from the Moonstone, but she didn't open her eyes immediatly. She needed a moment. If you had just seen your deceased best friend again, you would need a minute, too, no? Finally she regained her composure and stood up. With a quick shake she turned and padded out of the cave, flicking her tail to order the others should follow.
Outside the sun was just begining to rise. Featherstar blinked as the light assailed her eyes before they could adjust. Then she turned to Smokypaw. "So now you know. What you do with it is up to you." She turned and began heading back to camp. "Come. You'll want to rest before your ceremony. And eat something. I don't know about you, but I'm starving!" she laughed.

Whitepaw took a deep gulped of fresh air,steadied herself,then padded after Featherstar,smiling inspite of herself.True,hunger was clawing at her belly.She spd up,not seeming to notice SMokypaw as she walked alongside Featherstar.SMokypaw tail dragged across the gorund,his head hung,paws just lifting off the ground.Featherstar`s laughter irritated him.How could she laugh infront of him,when he had just been through this?SMokypaw felt a sudden urge to turn and run.Run until he could run no longer.But he couldnt.He had to stay.For Whitepaw`s sake.For Moonfrost`s sake.For his own sake.His tail lifted off the ground a bit as he thought about the bright side.He was going to be a warrior!
