Fawnlight yawned as she woke up. She looked over to see that Rootheart was still sleeping, so she crept out of the den quietly. "Morning Fawnlight." Sunstorm said. Fawnlight nodded to him. "Do you want to go hunting? It's still early, but maybe the prey has come out." She suggested. Sunstorm yawned a bit. "Sure, maybe a good hunt will warm me up." They headed out of camp and headed out to the forest. Fawnlight thought she smelled another cat, but wasn't that sure. "You smell anyone." She asked her brother. "Ya, us." Sunstorm relied. Fawnlight smacked him with her paw. "No, I mean cats outside the clans." She said. Why are toms so dumb sometimes?! Fawnlight thought to herself. Suddenly, a star covered kit came out of the bushes. "Time is running out, find me, quickly!" The kit yowled and disappeared. Fawnlight stared at Sunstorm for a second and than they both bolted back to camp.

" They're here!" yowled Berrypaw, jumping down from her perch. Fawnlight purred in satisfaction. The clan had been told about ClearClan as soon as Lightningstar got back to camp and had been spending the day catching prey, making more nests, and expanding dens."Where is she?" Foresttail murmured. Ever since he had heard the his old clan was coming, he'd been pacing the camp and constantly asking the apprintesses if they saw anything. "FORESTTAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!" Foresttail looked up and nearly fell over.  A she-cat ran over to him and almost knocked him over. The she-cat was pretty, Fawnlight thought, but than she noticed an ugly scar running from her neck to her right leg. " Mom?!" Foresttail squeaked. Then a handsome dark brown tom walked over to Foresttail with Honeystripe. "Dad?!" At this point, if Foresttail was any more shocked Fawnlight thought he might just faint. Fawnlight noticed Lightningstar talking with Acornclaw and Lynxeye over in the far edge of the camp. Lynxeye looked pretty mad and Fawnlight suddenly remembered that he used to be the deputy. Lynxeye stormed away, and Lightningstar leaped up on the Main Bolder and yowled out the summonings. "All cats old enough to walk under the Ice Fall gather beneath the Main Boulder for a clan meeting" The ClearClan cats looked confused. "That means everyone except the kits." Lightningstar added. In a few heartbeats, everyone was seated at the foot of the Main Bolder. "Now, first things first. Lynxeye and myself have talked it over, and all ClearClan cats will become members of SeasonClan. And if you wondering, The matter of who's deputy has been solved. Acornclaw will remain deputy. You are all dismissed." The cats began to mingle with each other. "Hi, I'm Skyflower. What's your name?" Fawnlight jumped a bit. The she-cat in front of her had snuck up on her first of all, and second the cat had long hair. "Oh, um, my name is Fawnlight." said Fawnlight. She stared at Skyflowers long and silky fur. Skyflower began to look a bit uncomfortable. Fawnlight  blushed when she relized what she was doing. "Oh, I'm sorry, I've just never seen a cat with such long fur before." Fawnlight said. Skyflower sighed in relief. "It's ok, I was just worried I had a flood of burs in my coat. Fawnlight, I thing this is the begaining of a beutiful friendship."

"Lightningstar! Lightningstar!" Lakepaw yowled as they tumbled into camp. "What is it Lakepaw?" Lightningstar said, walking out of her den. She had obviously been sleeping, as bits of moss where stuck in her pelt. "I'm sorry to have woken you, Lakepaw, go get Foresttail than meet us outside camp, we have a lot to talk about" Fawnlight said. Lightningstar frowned, but followed Fawnlight out. "Well, what is it, Fawnlight?" Lightningstar asked, now curious. "We have to wait for Lakepaw and Foresttail, as it has to do with Foresttail and Honeystripe's old clan." Fawnlight replied. Lightningstar's eye's widened. "Great StarClan." Lightningstar said. All Fawnlight did was nod, and Lightningstar said "Are they coming?" Another nod. "When." She asked. "Wait for Foresttail, and then you'll see." Fawnlight replied. A few heart beats later, Foresttail and Lakepaw came tumbling in. "Ok, will someone please tell me what goring on?" Foresttail asked. "Well, Foresttail, we found your old clan and their coming at sunset." Fawnlight said. Foresttail nearly fell. "Is it ok that we invited them, Lightningstar?" Fawnlight asked. Lightningstar nodded. Fawnlight took a deep breath. "Oh ya, and Foresttail, your mom is alive."

"Lakepaw, wake up!" Fawnlight said, looking into the den. She saw Lakepaw sleeping in a heap on the floor. "Lakepaw! We need to train!" she tried. This time Lakepaw stirred and opened her eyes. "Good morning Fawnlight." Lakepaw said "Are we going to train or what?" Then Lakepaw notices her sleeping siblings and said "Why do they get to sleep in?" she whined. "You said you wanted to be as fast as me, didn't you?" Fawnlight said. Lakepaw nodded. "Well, you need to train than!" Fawnlight said. Lakepaw sighed and followed Fawnlight out of the den. " Wow, your up early." said Honeystripe, walking out of the warriors den. " Ya, Lakepaw wants to learn to run fast, and I dought Lightningstar will want to take time out of hunting and fighting." Fawnlight replied. " Can I join you? I need to catch up on my running skills." Honeystripe asked. " Sure!" Fawnlight said. " Fawnlight, you woke me up as soon as the sun came up, and I want to go!" Lakepaw said impatiently. Fawnlight laughed and said " Ok, let's go!" And shot out of camp. Lakepaw, like last time was right on her tail. Honeystripe though, could barly stay five tail-leanths from Lakepaw. " Let's head to the Ice Falls today" Fawnlight yowled back. Lakepaw nodded and Honeystripe waved her tail. As they ran, Fawnlight felt freeer and freeer as she ran faster and faster. Lakepaw was now two tail-lengths away and Honeystripe was still far behind. Suddenly, Fawnlight stopped. "What's that smell?" she said, picking up a sent. Lakepaw went next to her. "I smell it to." Lakepaw said. Honeystripe finally came next to them and her eyes got huge. "I, I know that sent!" she practically yowled. "Well, it's really recent, wanna check it out?" Fawnlight asked. Without another word, Honeystripe took off. This time, Fawnlight and Lakepaw had to go full speed to keep up. "Lynxeye! Violetpaw! Is that you?!" Honeystripe yowled. Suddenly, a she-cat and a tom burst out from the bushes. "Honeypaw!? Is it really you?" The she-cat asked. "Yes! But I'm Honeystripe now." Honeystripe said. "Honeystripe!? The last time I checked, you where a kit!" the she-cat said. "Wait....... Did you join another Clan?!" the tom said in shock. Honeystripe looked sheepish. "Yes, she did." Fawnlight said stepping up next to Honeystripe. The tom glared at her. "This doesn't concern you." the tom said. "Yes, it does." Said Lakepaw, stepping next to her mentor "It concerns us because we're her clanmates." Lynxeye growled at Lakepaw and Fawnlight. "Lynxeye! I remember that Darkstar said you had gotten hit by a monster when you got knocked out and dragged away by him. Honeystripe probably thought we
where dead." the she-cat said. "Ya, I did, and so does Foresttail. Thanks Violetpaw" Honeystripe said.
"Honeystripe, one my name is Violetheart, and two, we all thought that you and, ah, Foresttail where dead. Lilyfur and Hawkclaw have been frantic." Violetheart said. Honeystripe stared at Violetheart. "My, my mom is alive!? But, that's impossible! I saw where Rockblood hit her! He hit her square in the chest and ripped it!" Honeystripe said. "Ya, he did. Luckily, Breezeheart was with us and saved her, but just barly in time." Violetheart said. "Um, sorry to interrupt, but Honeystripe, we're still here, and I think we should take you former clanmates back to camp." Fawnlight said. "Ok Fawnlight." Honeystripe agreed. "Can we go get them?" said Violetheart. "Of course!" said Honeystripe. " Ok, we'll be there at sundown. And Honeystripe, come with us, we need a guide." said Lynxeye. "We'll go and tell Lightningstar you're coming." Fawnlight said. Violetheart said "Ok, see you at sundown."

Fawnlight saw a nice, big, juicy vole nibbling on a nut. She slowly stalked towards it, and just as she was about to pounce a voice said "Fawnlight?" she ignored it and continued creeping forward. "Fawnlight!" the voice said again and she felt something rub against her leg. It's a wonder the vole hasn't ran yet she thought. "FAWNLIGHT, WAKE UP!" the voice yelled and something kicked her side. her eyes snapped open and saw Stonefall glaring at her"Ok, I'm up, I'm up!"she meowed, licking her swore leg. "What do you want!" she said, annoyed. " Oh, Sunstorm, Foresttail, and Honeystripe are back, and the kits are going to be apprenticed later today, Lightningstar want to see you too." Stonefall said "Really, why me?" Fawnlight asked. Stonefall shrugged "I don't know, but she said it was important, so you should get over there." he said. Fawnlight nodded and started going to Lightningstar's den.

"You wanted to see me?" Fawnlight said, poking her head into the den. "Yes, I did." said Lightningstar. "It's about Lakekit. She's going to need a mentor soon, and I was hoping it could be you." Lightningstar said. Fawnlight just stared at her. "B-but I just became a warrior!" she blurted out. Lightningstar laughed "That's exactly why you'll be the perfect mentor, you remember what it was like. The only question now is, will you except?" Lightningstar said. Fawnlight thought for a moment, it would be fun to be a mentor and get to see little Lakekit become a warrior. Lakekit was a little bundle of energy too. Fawnlight made her decision. "Ok, I'll do it, it'll be fun." she said. Lightningstar nodded and said "Good, can you go get Stonefall for me?" "Ok." Fawnlight said and walked out of the den. "Stonefall! Lightningstar wants you!" she said, walking up to him. He was by the fresh-kill pile talking with Foresttail about battle moves. "Ok." he said and walked towards Lightningstar's den. I think I should see how my apprintess is doing she thought. She walked over to the apprintess den and watched them play "Get the Dog". "Hi Fawnlight." Featherspot, the kits mother, said warmly. "I hear they'll be apprintess today." Fawnlight said. "Yes, my little warriors!"
Featherspot said. "I wonder who their mentors will be. You know Fawnlight, if I could pick out their mentors, it would be Whitestripe for Duskkit, Brownspot for Berrykit, you for Lakekit, and Stonefall 
for Herringkit." Your wish has been granted Fawnlight thought. " Hi Fawnlight!" squeaked Lakekit " I'm going to be a apprenticed today!" she said " I hope your my mentor!" said Lakekit " She won't be, she'll be mine!" Berrykit said " She won't be either of yours, she'll be mine!" said Herringkit. Fawnlight smiled, they where fighting over her! "I want Stonefall to be my mentor, he's so strong!" said Duskkit. "But he's slow, and she's fast!" said Lakekit "I'll crush you when I'm as strong as him!" Duskkit squeaked "And I'll hunt more prey when I'm as fast as her!" Lakekit said. Fawnlight purred in amusement at the two kits. They where chasing each other now. Fawnlight could have watched them all day but she saw Stonefall coming out of Lightningstar's den and walk over to Greenwhisker, exchange a few words and when he saw Fawnlight looking over at him, he motioned for her to follow him. "Who'd you get?" She asked him as they went out of camp. "Herringkit, you?" he said "Lakekit, did she just tell you I was a mentor?" she asked "Yep." he said. They walked `through the Forest and back to the camp in silence. When they got back to camp, Lightningstar leaped onto the High Bolder and yowled the summonings. "All cats old enough to walk under the Ice Fall gather beneath the Main Boulder for a clan meeting" "It's time!" Fawnlight whispered excitedly. They went over to stand with Greenwhisker and Goldensoot. The kits walked out of the nursery nicely groomed and looking serious, but Fawnlight could see they could barely contain their excitement. They went to go sit in their place, and Lightningstar started the ceremony. ""We are gathered today for the naming of these 4 young cats. Lakekit, do you promise to obey your mentor and the warrior code?" "I do" Lakekit answered "Then from this day on until you get your warrior name, your name is Lakepaw, mentor: Fawnlight." Fawnlight saw Lakepaw smile and walked over to Fawnlight. They touched tails and started the walk to the Ice Falls.

Fawnlight saw Lakepaw have an awestruck impression when she saw the falls. She quietly went to the top of the falls and began the warrior code:

"Defend your Clan, even with your life.Elders , queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
Newly appointed warriors will sleep at the Moonstream for one night after receiving their warrior name.
The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.
A Meet is held every Half-Moon to show off their apprentices and discuss problems
No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.
The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.
Kits must stay in camp until they are apprenticed, and are not allowed to hunt.
The safety of the Clan is more important than the safety of one cat."
And then she plunged into the falls.

As she stepped out, Fawnlight walked out to greet her. "Congratulations, Lakepaw! One last thing to do, go to the Moonstream." Fawnlight said. Lakepaw nodded. "Um, Lakepaw, you know you can talk now, right?" Fawnlight said. Lakepaw smiled and said "Ya, sorry, I was just catching my breath." "Should we run or walk?" Fawnlight asked, smiling and studying Lakepaw's build. Lakepaw was little, small boned, and lithe, perfect for running. "Run!!!!!" Lakepaw squeaked. Fawnlight nodded and took off running. Lakepaw was a few tail-lengths behind her the entire time, but as they got to the stream, slowed down alot. Fawnlight skidded to a stop."Are you ok?"Fawnlight asked. Lakepaw nodded, breathing hard. She look sad. "Don't worry, I'll train you to run, and someday you might be faster than me!" Fawnlight said. At that, Lakepaw smiled. "Come on, we'll walk the rest of the way." Fawnlight said. In a few minutes, they got there. "Ok, Lakepaw, take a sip of the water and see the visions."said Fawnlight "Ok."Lakepaw said. She leaned forwards and took a sip. She closed her eyes, and Fawnlight did to. She instantly saw Lakepaw in a race with her, almost matching her pace, missing by a mouse tail. Than she saw Lakepaw at her warrior ceremony, with a handsome tom looking at the moon together. Than she saw Lakepaw with kits climbing over her and that tom, in the SeasonClan nursery. Than as elders together. Than at the toms body in the center of camp, than her own. And the vision was over. "Let's go back to camp." Fawnlight said. Lakepaw nodded, and they both started back.

"I win!" Fawnlight yowled as they reached the lake. " Of course you won, why did I even try?" Icestar said out of breath. " What do you mean, of course?" Fawnlight asked, confused. " Gee, I don't know, maybe because your one of, if not thee,  fastest cats in the clans, DarkClan included." Icestar said, seeming surprised at Fawnlight confusion. " Really?"  she asked " Yes, really, now are we going to fish or not." Icestar said, smiling. " Of course!" Fawnlight said. " Usual spot than a swim?" Icestar said. " Yep" said Fawnlight. The two she-cats paddled to the shady part of the Lake, where the fish always gathered. Without a sound or a ripple, Icestar slipped into the water. They both knew the routine, they had known it since kit hood. Fawnlight waited on the bank, Icestar in the water. Suddenly, Icestar shot forwards all the fish came to Fawnlight and she swatted as many as she could out, Icestar killing every fish she could in the water. Fawnlight manged to kill almost all of them, missing a few near the water. Icestar got a few fish and swam in. "Can you help with them?" she asked. Fawnlight nodded and slipped into the water, gathered up a few, and swam back. They both made a few trips. " We did good today." Icestar said Fawnlight nodded in agreement. " I'll get the leaves." she said and ran over to the ferns, ripped a few large leaves off, and ran back. They both started gathering up the fish and putting them in the ferns. They head back to the WaterClan camp and with a nod to Caringpoppy, dropped off the fish in Icestars den. Fawnlights name sake, Fawntail, looked at them as they past her, and shook her head. Fawnlight would never get why it was so hard to imagine a warrior being friends with a leader. They divided their bags into two piles and headed back to the Lake. They swam around a bit, but Fawntail had ruined the mood. They headed back to camp and Fawnlight took her share, two ferns, and went back to SeasonClan. Since Icestar had a clan to run, she got three bags. Without a word, Fawnlight undid the bags a the fresh-kill pile and let the fish out, and went to the warriors den. She collapsed into her nest, exasted, and fell to sleep.

"Hi Icestar!" Fawnlight said as she ran into the WaterClan camp. "Hey Fawnlight!"Icestar said warmly, Fawnlight and her were best friends, Fawnlight was a moon or two older, but WaterClan apprintesised the kits younger, as they need to learn how to hold thier breath for a longer and swim. Icestar became a warrior a few moons after Fawnlight was an apprintesised and a moon before she was a warrior. Soon after the deputy,Larelfall, died in a battle with DarkClan, Icestar was appointed  deputy for her bravery in that same battle. Than just three days ago Fogstar died. "Fawnlight?" "Fawnlight?!" "FAWNLIGHT!" Icestar yelled. That brought her back to the present. "Yes, sorry, what did you ask?" Icestar sighed and repeated" I said, is everything alright in SeasonClan? " "Oh
ya, sorry. Everything is fine, Leafpaw getting a Naming tonight so Willoweye ordered, I mean TOLD me go get all the med cats and tell them to get to the Moonpool tonight." Fawnlight said. "Ok, I don"t know where Lilypool is, I'll be back in a heartbeat, let me ask someone." Icestar said as she walked away. "Hey Smallpaw! Do you know where Lilypool is?" Icestar said. Smallpaw looked back, startled that her leder was asking her. "Y-ya she went to SeasonClan with Lilywater to talk to Willoweye. Something about StarClan and Leafpaw." Smallpaw said in her very soft and quiet little voice. "Ok, thanks Smallpaw." Icestar said and Smallpaw turned on her paws and ran. "No Lilypool." she said "Ya, I've heard." Fawnlight said "Want to go for a swim? Bet I could beat you to the Lake!" Fawnlight said. "Your on!" Icestar said and they sped off to the lake.
