She usually wasn't this nervous, but Cricketpaw was pacing back and forth. The tip of her spotted tail twitched in a random pattern, dazzling blue eyes swimming in a pool of thoughts. Snakepa- no, he was Snakeheart now - would be here any moment, and she didn't know if she could contain herself any longer.

The former RiverClan medicine cat apprentice had watched his ceremony from the stairs. Eagerly she had waited for them to dream, for the ceremony to be completed the traditional way. It was a pip dream though, and while Cricketpaw had expected it to turn out the way it did, a little part of her felt crestfallen watching the tom and Coldamber's seemingly blatant disregard for the stars.

But she understood it above all. She wouldn't tell Snakeheart to believe in her. Perhaps the herbs she had told him about had done the trick...

"You think just because you won the race to the waterfall you can keep me waiting?" Cricketpaw called out, well aware that he hadn't arrived yet. Oh, she wanted to congratulate him! She wanted to know everything that had happened, from his eyes! She'd watched as her Clanmates took on the pack of coyotes, and dealt with the loss of Sootstar and Stormcall. Firehawk... One of the few cats she remembered from her time alive in the Clans... His death had saddened her quite a bit.

Finally forcing herself to sit, she stared at the spot where Snakeheart would appear, lips twitching up into a smile and her front paws kneading the ground with excitement.
