[QUOTE=Jayvines;1277237]Hmmm... This molly seemed rather worse for wear.[/I] Silently watching them eat, Sparrowstar looked over their bedraggled form more closely. They certainly looked like they hadn't been doing terribly well before collapsing here, however, a cautious sniff didn't reveal any obvious signs of illness in the stranger.
"You're welcome," she stated, left ear flicking as the molly seemed to perk up. "I certainly don't want you to end up as crowfood and attract any predators to my territory. What is your name outsider, and why are you on Thunderclan territory?"
Fireflower looked at the molly with despair in her eyes "I was sitting in my den near TwolegPlace with a thin mouse I had managed to catch and some rouges had come to take it. I hadn't eaten in almost 2 moons, so I was too weak to refuse. Next thing I know I'm wandering around without anywhere to go and starving. I don't know why I'm saying all of this to you. I'm sorry." As she finished talking she attempted to stand up, but fell right back down.
Streamtail lead the way to the nursery, excited to show Rainflower her new nest, " Right this way my honorary queen, your comfort awaits," Streamtail jokes.
Thunderblaze smiled happily at his mate" thats good" he meowed then hearing theres news for him but sparrowstar is gonna announce it? hm... i wonder whats going on" ok..." he meowed happily
stormpaw smiled" im fine just a bit bored, stormpaw! nice to meet you rainpaw and what a lovely name!" he meowed
Mapleleaf took her tongue and swiped it over Thunderblaze's ear, she was happy that Sparrowstar had announced her moving to the nursery along with Rainflower. This leaf-bare would be rough, she felt it in her bones. I just hope Rainfall won't have issues with my kits once she takes them in. Thunderblaze and I will help, but who knows how many I'll have.
--------------------------------
Rainpaw couldn't exactly see where his mother and sisters were, but he managed to see his father's feathery fur. At least he's here. But where's Lavenderpaw, momma Quailfur, and Fallowkit? His head was spinning with confusion and he struggled to calm himself down before speaking to Stormpaw once more.
"T-thanks. So, uh... w-who's your mentor, Stormpaw?" The tom wanted to take his mind off of his family for a moment and think of something else until the rest of his family make an appearance. "Mine's Bumbleflight."

He said rightfully nothing to the “important” annoyance that is so called a Sparrowstar. Blazingkit, eyes closed and head away from the leader, purred at his confidence. His purring stopped at the same moment as Sparrowstar challenged him to lead them back to the camp after mentioning about his recent activities.
“Wait, how did you know!” he snarled, forgetting about the “little one” insult. Was she spying on him? His fur flattened as he calmed himself down, muttering to himself, “If she was, she probably was so amazed at my walk around the territory.” New found confidence boosted inside of him. With a smirk, he straightened himself like a warrior going through a special ceremony. Eyes forward and gazing at the front direction.
His fur bushed and spiked as he imagined the terrible things a rogue would do to him. Was Sparrowstar telling the truth? He shook his head to get the thoughts out, but it only came back with new thoughts. What if the direction he is leading them to is a place full of rogues that eat cats?
Blazingkit realized that he was still standing on his trembling paws. Had it been moons? Did Sparrowstar leave him? Turning his head slightly to his right, he spotted the half face of the leader. Letting his neck turn back, he stated. “J-just stretching.” Clearing his throat, the large kit finally gained enough courage to pad onwards. Scraping his brown fur against bushes, he stumbled into a clearing that held no paths to the camp. Staring at the old she-cat, he gave a nervous giggle. “Sike, hehe…heh…”
Whoops. Perhaps she had psyched him up slightly too far.
Watching the young tom as he puffed up and stared into the forest, Sparrowstar waited patiently beside him until he started moving... vaguely in the direction of camp? Well, if they continued this path they'd end up going around the camp instead of towards it. Thankfully, it seemed Blazingkit realized they weren't headed in the right direction after entering an unfamiliar clearing.
Whiskers twitched in amusement as he attempted to save face, and she let him stew in his uncertainty for a moment before stepping forward.
"Unless that band of rogues came through and completely dismantled the dens, I think it's fair to say this isn't our camp," she stated, attempting to keep her amusement from her voice. "Now, Blazingkit. I have limited options here. If you walk away unpunished, I could have a whole gaggle of kits attempting the same stunt and risking their safety as you have. And perhaps they won't be as lucky... However, since you are due an apprentice ceremony I believe you capable of choosing the appropriate punishment here."
Pausing for a moment to let that sink in, her tail flicked behind her a few times before continuing.
"You can either have your apprenticeship delayed and be confined to the nursery for the next half-moon, OR be appointed as an apprentice however you will be doing tick duty for the next full moon with the elders."
Catbrows raised, the tan molly settled onto her haunches as she awaited his answer. This one had spunk (and she already had a good idea as to the best mentor to channel that attitude into efficiency), however, the choice would be his to make.

The kit saw the ball hovering the air, he grinned as his emerald eyes sparkled. The sudden adrenaline made him feel like he was pounding across the ground. Ready to strike a cat and make his moves epically vicious. But.. that wasn’t exactly the case at all. The ball.. seemed to be going over his head? He snorted as Quailfur began to panic for him. He held his tail up high, confidence was sparking in him at the moment. "I got it! I got it!" He backed up, the ball seemed to be teasing him with how much air time its having at the moment. stuck up ball why won’t you just drop down and make me look cool! Mottlekit felt an evil grin escape the ball, his brow twitched with irritation.
He ran back, his eyes following the ball. The ball seemed to finally drop, moss went flying towards him. He grinned as he yowled. "It’s coming this way! I got it! I-" Instead the ball was coming to him face first. He shook in place. As he realized this, he tripped over air with his hind paw. He flailed around panicking. "I don’t have it! I don’t have it!-" The moss-ball slammed into his face as it sent his scrawny body rolling and tumbling into the clearing. How embarrassing!
Quailfur saw the dilute calico stumble out like a coughed furball. She winced, peeking towards the kit who had flew out of the nursery. She flicked her tail as she dashed forward, stopping in her tracks as she looked over her shoulder. Was Fallowkit already up? She still could smell her scent in the nursery. Perhaps she was with her father at the meeting. She gulped, she felt a sense of relief as she trusted her gut. Believing Starclan would make sure her kit was in her line of sight. Then rushed over to the flailing Mottlekit as he tried to catch the moss-ball.
Though she did feel proud for the kit for trying so hard to catch the ball in mid-air. In the nursery she would always see the kit lousing about ignoring his siblings. And being a bit.. sensitive to others. She could even mistake him for an elder for how much he slouches in his nest. She smiled, catching a small glimpse of the meeting.

The time has come for her to become a queen. While it was a little embarrassing to admit to a cat that she was, in fact, expecting kits, she had no choice but to become a queen, which meant she had to speak with Sparrowstar about the rank change. Plenty of queens had done this with their leaders before, so it had to be a regular thing, right? With heavy pawsteps, the expecting warrior sighed and then walked into the den to see Sparrowstar.
"Sorry for the intrusion, Sparrowstar," she dipped her head apologetically then looked up to continue speaking, "I'm in a bit of a rush this morning, but I thought I should come to you first. You see, Sundust and I spoke earlier, and he said that I was expecting kits. Well, that means I can't be a warrior... as much as I hate to do this to ThunderClan when we all need as many paws out in the forest hunting as possible with the weather getting colder by the day, it's time I request that I become a queen. Once I give birth to them, I will be letting another queen care for them so I can help the Clan as much as possible. Rainfall and I have already spoken about it, and she agreed to raise the kits along with her own."
There, it was done. She had spoken about what was lingering in her thoughts. I really do feel bad, but I'll be returning to my duties as soon as possible! she silently promised the whole of ThunderClan as she waited for the tan she-cat leader to reply.
The sudden intrusion into her den by one of her peers wasn't an unexpected occurrence at this point, however the sudden barrage of information that spew from Mapleleaf as she spoke was certainly an oddity.
Green eyes blinked a few times as she processed the pile of information handed to her before a soft grin creased her muzzle.
"Of course, you will be designated as a queen at our next meeting. Take whatever time you need, and just inform me when you are ready to return to warrior duties. I'm sure Rainfall will do her best to take care of those kits."
A brief nod was given to the newly designated queen and Sparrowstar paused to see if she had anything further to say before leaving.

Mapleleaf was a little embarrassed for spilling out all the information at once onto her leader and dipped her head in apology. But when she looked up, Sparrowstar was... smiling? It was not quite the reaction the calico tabby expected from the tan and brown she-cat, but welcome nonetheless. Sparrowstar then went on to say Mapleleaf would become a queen in the next meeting. That wasn't too far off. Well, at least it was happening. I'll keep it a secret from Thunderblaze so it could turn out to be a surprise.
"Thank you, Sparrowstar. I really wish I could assist you and the rest of ThunderClan like the other warriors, but it seemed like StarClan had other plans," she let out a small chuckle and then dipped her head. "I won't be telling Thunderblaze about it if that's okay. I would like it to be a surprise. I'll figure out how to tell him that Rainfall will be nursing them."
Not much more could be said by her, so she waited to see if Sparrowflight was alright with her idea of a surprise.

Creek stumbled along the territory border, his tiny paws sore from traveling more then he was used to... He yzwned and the tiny kit looked about, he wondered if he was in this Thunderclan he heard abouts territory yet...

Her grin widened marginally as Mapleleaf explained her plan.
"My lips are sealed," she chuckled, whiskers twitching in amusement. "He won't hear a peep out of me until it's announced at the meeting. Do you have any other questions?"
Surprises were always an amusing thing to be a part of, so the tan molly was more than happy to withhold this information for Mapleleaf. Paws crossed her mate would welcome the news since the first time he'd hear would be at a public meeting... Well, no time for overthinking. This was just a nice gesture.
