~~One moon later~~

~Marrygold's Pov~

"Duskpaw come back here!"

"OK!" *Runs back to Marrygold*

Marrygold looks down at Duskpaw who looks back you with excitement shining in her eyes. "hehe, Duskpaw I know your exited about the Gathering but you must stay with me ok?"

"ok, Are there going to be a lot of cats there?"

"Yes."

"How many?"

"Too many to count. Also when we get there I'm going to introduce you to the other medicine cats then, you can go do what ever but, come back to great rock and sit with me when the Gathering starts, Ok?"

"Yes, Marrygold!"

~~Time skip~~

"We're almost there Duskpaw."

*nods* "ok."
~Duskpaw's Pov~

We cross over the ridge and I'm astonished at the amount of cats are here. I start to get nervous and kind of scared by the number of cats so, I cling to Marrygold's side as we walk through the crowds of cats of high rock.

"Duskpaw, I want to introduce you to everyone."

"Marrygold, didn't I met them at high stones?"

"Oh right you did. I forgot. Well then go and play with some apprentices from the other tribes."

"Ok."

I leave Marrygold's side and walk over to the apprentices and introduce my self but, no one notice so, I sit and wait then someone tapes my shoulder.

"Hi what are you doing here by your self?"

"Oh, um, I'm Duskpaw, Marrygold's apprentice from Forest Tribe."

"Nice to meet you Duskpaw, I'm Flamestripe from Moor Tribe."

"Did you just become a warrior?"

"Yes, just today actually."

"Wow!"

"Duskpaw you need to go back to Marrygold. The gathering going to start."

"Can I stay here? This is my first gathering so i don't know where to go."

"Ok, fine, but don't say I didn't worn you."

"Ok."

As the gathering started I could help but stare at Flamestripe. He's so handsome and- Duskpaw get a hold of your self he's from another tribe. I turn focus back the the leader.

"I'm also proud to announce our new apprentices Duskpaw, Nightpaw, Dawnpaw. And our new warriors Oakfur and Pineclaw!"

"Duskpaw! Nightpaw! Dawnpaw! Oakfur! Pineclaw!"

And with that the gathering was over and every one went to there leaders.

"Wait Duskpaw can I see you tomorrow? I want to get to know you better."

"Ok. Want to meet here?"

"That's perfect. See you then!"

"See ya!"

I see Marrygold and I run up to her.

~Marrygold's Pov~

I see Duskpaw running to me 'she is going to get such a scolding'

"DUSKPAW! Were have you been!?!? You were supposed to come back to high rock when the gathering started!"

"I'm sorry Marrygold, I couldn't find my way to you. So I stayed with Flamestripe until the gathering was over."

*sigh* "Well never do it again ok?"

"Ok."

"Now lets head back to camp."

~~~Next Day~~~

~Duskpaw's Pov~

"duskpaw, Duskpaw!"

"what is it Dawnpaw."

"Come here quickly, in need to talk to you in private."

"Ok. Lets go. Marrygold I'm going to get some more juniper berries we're running low!"

Marrygold lifts her head from her bed. "Ok be back around Sunhigh."

"Ok!" I yell back. We both walk out of camp and we go by the river to get juniper berries.

"So, Sis what do you need to tell me?"

"I- I'm- I'm having k-kits."

*gasp* "Who's the father!?!"

"Pineclaw. *looks like she's going to cry* I'm sorry I don't know what I was thinking." *cries*

"Dawnpaw its ok *starts ribbing her back* I'll be here for you ok. Do you want to tell Mom?"

"No I can't I don't want her or dad to get mad at me."

"Ok, don't worry. I'll be by your side no matter what happens ok?"

"Ok. Thank you Duskpaw. For being here for me."

"Any time little sis, any time. Have you told Pineclaw?"

"No. Can you come with me?"

"Of course I will. But first lets pick some juniper berries."

We pick the berries and head back to camp. I put them away. The go look for Pineclaw.

~~Time Skip~~

Dawn: "There you are Pineclaw."

Dusk: "We've been looking everywhere for you."

Pine: "Sorry sweetie and sorry Duskpaw. Why were you looking for me?"

Dusk: "We need to talk outside of camp."

Pine: "Then by all means lead the way."

~~Time skip to shining rocks ~~

Dusk: "Dawnpaw are you ready?"

"Yes, Pineclaw do you promise to stay with me?"

"Yes, with my heart and soul."

"Ok, good, because I'm having, having kits."

"Oh my stars! Dawnpaw! *hugs* Thank you! Thank you so much! I promise to protect you and our kits with my life! No matter what happens!"

"Thank you. *cries a little* Thank You for staying with me Pineclaw."

"Your welcome sweetheart *forehead touch* I Love you."

"I Love you too."
