The initial nervousness of his first time being up on the great rock was quickly wearing off, these were his clanmates after all, cats that he loved and cared for, there was nothing to be nervous of, and besides, there wasn't really any way to mess up right? He was going good!
Quickly settling back into his usual personality, he seemed to straighten up on the rock with a delighted grin as more cats began to gather beneath the rock until practically the whole clan was there, looking up at him, some of them murmuring about what was to be announced, others remaining silent, but overall there seemed to be a dull excitement hanging in the air, and that was a good sign.
Time to make this announcement..
Not bothering to clear his throat because he knew his voice could travel well, he stood up, peering down at his warriors, his green eyes glimmering with nothing but pride and happiness.

"As you all may have noticed, Lemonstar is absent, and has been for practically an entire moon and Skyclan cannot stand for much longer without a leader. So earlier today, I took the journey to the Whispering Cave with Rabbitfluff and an ancient medicine cat in hopes that Starclan would approve me and allow me to take his place as leader. And needless to say, I have been accepted and granted nine lives and will now take the name of Grousestar."

There was a pause, he desperately wanted to tell these cats that he would really prefer to be called just Grouse, or Grousy, but he knew that it wasn't the time nor place for in-formalities, he was leader now. You.. Had to be formal, right? He wasn't sure, but he was sure that he would get the hang of it. Flicking his ears to clear his thoughts, he would give the crowd a moment to murmur or congratulate him, or simply give them a moment to let the information sink in.

"With me now leader, that means that we need a deputy, right?" There was a purr now in his voice. This was one of the first important decisions he's made as leader, and he hoped that Starclan would approve of my choice.
Grousestar would give a moment of silence, to let the suspension build, his eyes glimmering with amusement before he sighed out to finally announce who it was.

"The new deputy of Skyclan, will be Auroraflame!" Immediately he began to search for the familiar face in the crowd, his grin widening knowing that surely they would be completely ecstatic for being chosen.

She stated, wisdom glowed in the she cats silver orbs as she sat herself backup and wrapped her tail around her paws once again "honestly, all of us could become the depudy, but if you were leader, wouldn't you want a depudy that knew what to do? A depudy that was an outstanding warrior,but was standerd at being a depudy? Yes most cats want a depudy that was perfect, but the best kind of depudy is one who messes up, cause then, they aknowlege that, and then they try to get better." She said, but then felt her fur rise in emberassment "oh, but that's just my h humble opinion, what i'm trying to say is, don't sell yourself short." She stumbled out.

@starfall
(Wait....Cloudspots is related to Lemon? XD then they can't be Love Interests, Ginge is one of Lemon's biological sib.)

Gingerwish smiled. "Sorry." She purred. Grousestar began to speak and she turned her attention to him. The new deputy of SkyClan, will be Auroraflame! Ginge smiled. "Auroraflame Auroraflame!" She cheered.

"The new deputy of Skyclan, will be Auroraflame!" Immediately he began to search for the familiar face in the crowd, his grin widening knowing that surely they would be completely ecstatic for being chosen.

Auroraflame had sat down with everyone else, paying careful attention to their new leader. Grousestar will make a wonderful leader, Auroraflame thought. She thought of the recent past, when Lemonstar was still their leader. She hadn't been too well acquainted with the tom but he certainly seemed like a well liked cat. And a good leader for that matter too. She brought herself out of her thoughts as suddenly she heard Grousestar announcing who would serve as SkyClan's deputy. The atmosphere became suspenseful and tense as everycat awaited his choice of deputy. The new deputy of SkyClan, will be Auroraflame!. Auroraflame heard her name being called from her leaders voice and a wide grin immediately grew on her face. She was deputy!. Auroraflame was absolutely estatic and overjoyed. Hearing her clanmates chant her name brought back memories of when she had just become a warrior. She stepped forward, her glossy black pelt making her stand out a bit. "Thank you Grousestar. And everyone else too," Auroraflame started, trying to contain her excitement. "I will not let you down," Auroraflame said. She meant her words. The black furred she cat would always fight fiercely for her clan and let them know that they could rely on her.

As the glossy black she-cat stepped forward, Grousestar's glimmering green eyes focused on her, his smile warm and encouraging as she spoke her words, his ears perked up as he heard the chanting of the clan, knowing that they had done the same for him when he became deputy. Clearing his throat one last time, the brown tabby leader would crane his head up to look at the parts of Silverpelt that glittered through the canopy.
"Then I say these words before Starclan so that they may approve of my choice, the new deputy of Skyclan is Auroraflame!"
With that being said, he would then look back to the crowd.
"That will conclude the announcement!"
As graceful and as energetic as ever, he would jump down from the Skyrock, landing with a small thud as the crowd dispersed, some cats likely gathering around the new deputy that he had chosen while he himself would give one last smile at the she-cat before turning to go to his den. Tonight would be the first night he would sleep in it and he had a feeling that it would be cold and rather lonely, but that didn't bother him at all. He was leader now, and being the optimist he was, he wouldn't think about anything but the positives.
Though before he headed to his den, he would take a pause to allow any cat to approach him if they needed anything from him, should there not be a cat to approach him, he would simply retire for the night because it had been quite the exciting day.
