Copperfire listened attentively to the instructions their leader gave them. So I was somewhat correct, he nodded to himself. "Alright, split off and look for petals, get as many as you can," he repeated, in case one of his teammates didn't hear or didn't understand the simple instructions. With that, he took off. Cinderstar mentioned looking high and low, I'll do just that. His hazel eyes quickly scanned over the camp while also trying to dodge anyone crossing his path. There! The bright colors of petals caught his eyes and he rushed towards them.
Cinderstar
After placing Snowkit in the nursery and returning, Cinderstar took a seat on the edge of the clearing and watched as her Clanmates moved to locate the petals hidden. As she sat and watched, something akin to pride for her home washed over her. Thinking back to the previous leaf-bare and newleaf, and how low hopes and moral had been. How at each others throats every cat was. How vicious and uncaring and corrupted the Clan had been. Surviving all of that. Surviving Dawnstar. And now, in the bloom of greenleaf, here they were. Flourishing.
"And time!" Rising to her paws, Cinderstar called for a finish. Her eyes glittered as she padded around to take in each pile the cats had collected. There were quite a lot of petals found! Though she was disappointed that some cats had only come for the first half of the event before disappearing off somewhere, those who had stayed made that thought obsolete.
Smiling as she finished taking a look around, the silver bengal padded over to where she had been sitting to start the event. Using her paws, she scooped up some loose petals that had floated around her in the search and drawing them. "Each and every one of you did absolutely wonderful! Kits, apprentices, your searching skills are unparalleled and I'm certain that if any of you were up against the other Clans you would no doubt come out on top." Pride was evident in her gaze as she looked at each kit, each apprentice. "Warriors, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to take part in this event as well, and for setting a wonderful example that being a warrior is not always rough and tough - but that it comes with compassion and kindness."
With that little speech done, Cinderstar was ready to determine the results. "And now for our petal winner! The team who has the biggest pile is..." Another few moments of silence to add to the anticipation. "Team One!" She glanced over at the members - Rainhound, Houndspirit, Echosong, Crowpaw, and Bushpaw. She was proud of them and gave them all a grateful nod.
"Now, everyone, I want you to take the petals you have collected - bring them into your paws - and..." As she had been speaking, Cinderstar gathered up a few loose petals in her own paws and with a smile tossed them high up into the air. They floated up above, dancing in the passing breeze. Soon, hopefully the sky would be filled with all sort of colorful petals, and ThunderClan could end the little event on a note that regardless of their path, they were now on the path of growth.

“Fourth place?” Flamekit smiled and looked at her teammates. “Not too bad for only two members- though I wonder where Quailfur went… Snowkit went to sleep, and honestly, how could we blame her?”
The kit shrugged and yowled to the other teams, “GOOD JOB EVERYONE!”

Crowpaw, although not ALL that surprised, was stoked to hear that their group won! "See? I told you guys I'd be an awesome leader!" They gloated, leaping for joy. "Great work, team!"
Though as Cinderstar instructed to blow all the petals away, Crowpaw gasped and shook their head. "No way! I want to keep mine!" They looked down at their own pile of petals and smiled. "I want to remember this day...it's the most fun I've had in a long time." They were glad to finally find something to restart their collection pile. The event may have started out gross and sappy, but they were satisfied with the way it ended.
Copperfire sighed. Maybe he really couldn't rely on other cats. He could excuse the kits, but the warriors? He gave a thankful nod to the only other cat that helped search for petals - Darkpetal. No use being upset about it, it was just yet another confirmation that all he could rely on was himself.
On a more fun note, he followed Cinderstar's lead and scooped up the petals, releasing them to watch them twirl in the air. They really were beautiful. He liked the red ones the most, but the yellow ones were also nice, like little drops of sun.
