If you would have told her that she'd become a leader of a clan with her best friend as her Medicine cat when she was a kit she would have been so excited but now she found it quite overwhelming.

Though she also had the grumpy Jumpbranch as her Deputy, the she-cat was far older then Moonstar and she was a smart cat.

Jumpbranch seemed to get easily annoyed with Seaneedles jokes.

When they were getting settled into their new camp they found this little tom-kit that they named Hickorykit along with his two older siblings Cobrapaw and Rootpaw.

She doubted they were actually siblings but more of adopted siblings from their differences, Hickorykit was a small golden slightly fluffy fur Cobrapaw was a icy white she-cat with deep blue eyes and Rootpaw was an orange and cream she-cat with emerald green eyes.

Cobrapaw came running up to her. "Can we go out hunting!" Cobrapaw asked.

Her apprentice had been excited to go out hunting every day to help her clan-mates.

"Sure" Moonstar responded.

Cobrapaw dashed toward the entrance to Soupclans camp entrance. They had been living in the cave Roawnpad had basically gave them.

Cobrapaw was now silhouetted against the sunlight that shown into the den. "Wait for me Cobrapaw" she called after him.

She swore she saw a light blue tom standing beside him He was smaller then Cobrapaw but when she blinked the small tom was gone.

Cobrapaw bounced on her paws as she waited for Moonstar to walk over.

"Let's go across the tide pools and see what we can find" Moonstar told her apprentice.

"Okay!" Cobra responded.

Cobrapaw skipped beside Moonstar as they walked along the beach and to the tide pools.

They sat next to one of the tide pools waiting for a fish to swim by.

Cobrapaw flashed her paw into the water scooping a small fish out of the water killing it before it could wriggle away.

"Nice catch" Moonstar commented.

Then she pulled a crab from the water dropping the prey beside Cobrapaws catch.

"That was also a good catch" Moonstar stated.

"Well that's what you think" Cobrapaw replied.

"And what are you saying?" She asked her apprentice.

"That maybe it isn't all that good of an catch" Cobrapaw responded.

She cuffed Cobrapaw over the ear. "You annoying furball" she grumbled.

Cobrapaw flashed her paw into the water swiping a shrimp.

"I'm going to be the best hunter in the clan" Cobrapaw stated.

"Let's head back to camp" Moonstar said.

She grabbed the crab she caught and began to walk back to camp with Cobrapaw beside her with her own to pieces of prey.

He walked along an path heading toward the border with Dustclan.

It was a hidden path since he didn't want his clan to know about what he was up to.

Even though it wasn't against the warrior code Plumstar didn't really like the idea of cats switching clans or having a mate in a another clan.

They'd often make impossible tasks for the cats who wanted to switch to Jumpclan.

He came around an rock and saw Burnetfang waiting patiently waited for him two kits at her paws, both tom-kits.

The orange tom-kit stared at him with interest while the cream colored tom was looking up at Burnetfang.

"We have kits" she stated.

"Wai this be our dada?" The cream tom-kit asked.

"Yes this is Rustdapple your father" Burnetfang answered.

Then she looked back up at Rustdapple. "These are Firekit the cream tom and Honeykit the orange tom" she introduced his kits to him.

"Hi Da!" Honeykit squeaked.

Rustdapple just hoped that none of his clan-mates who supported Plumstars decisions were not in the range to hear.

"You know I can't keep them in Dustclan the clan is just to large to support new kits any longer" Burnetfang told him.

"How would I explain this to Plumstar" Rustdapple asked.

Burnetfang glanced away. Which told him she also had no idea on how he'd explain it.

"Yeah Rustdapple how are you going to explain this turn of events?" someone asked from behind him. He turned and saw Frostfoot standing behind him.

She unfortunately was one of the main supporters of Plumstars decisions.

"Uh..." Rustdapple wasn't sure how to respond.

"Why does he needs to expain anything?" Firekit asked.

"Because him and your mother were never supposed to be together" Frostfoot answered.

"Wells they are together and you canout makes them not" Firekit mewed.

"Since you already need to explain it to your clan-mates why don't you take them" Burnetfang suggested.

He nodded. "Frostfoot could you carry Firekit". "I guess" she came over and picked up Firekit by the scruff.

Rustdapple grabbed Honeykit and together they walked in the direction of the Jumpclan camp.

Rustdapple dreaded the conversation he'd need to have with Plumstar.

Honeykit seemed to find quite fun to travel through the territory of Jumpclan on their way to the camp.

The white calico she-cat had a look on her face that said "your crowfood".

He glared at the calico she-cat.

They pushed through the camp entrance Frostfoot in the lead. "Plumstar look what I found" Frostfoot called out.

Rustdapple set Honeykit down next to his brother

The red mackerel tom known to be Plumstar came out of the broken tree that was the leaders den.

"And what is this?" Plumstar asked looking down at the two kits.

She turned her head smirking at Rustdapple. "I found Rustdapple with his half clan kits and his mate" she stated.

He turned an icy glare to Rustdapple. "Is this true?" Plumstar asked.

"Yes Plumstar it is" Rustdapple answered.

"You know how I feel about half clan cats and relationships between clans" Plumstar growled "so that is why you are no longer a member of Jumpclan".

Exile of course he wouldn't want half clan cats or disloyal warriors.

He nods. "Of course me and my kits well leave Jumpclan territory at once" Rustdapple replied.

He bent down picking up his two kits and walked out of the camp.
