[The last Gathering started in April, so I figured it was time to start a new one xP]
Honeystar paused at the edge of the clearing, feeling her paws prickled with anticipation. This was her first Gathering as a leader; she had been planning for it, but it seemed much more frightening now that she was there. Still, she led her group of cats into the hollow with pride, her head held high. MapleClan was the first Clan there, so she was able to relax a little. She would worry about speaking when the time came. "So, I guess we wait," she meowed awkwardly, turning to face her chosen cats. Bengalstripe, Allurepaw, Darkwing, Summerfur, Jinxtail, Curseclaw, Glazepine, Harmonyhyme, Shadeflower, Mossflower, Shadowflight, Twilightrace, Maplefur, and Shardnight had all come. "Remember, if anyone asks, MapleClan is doing fine. Speak as little of the sickness as possible; I will announce it once the Gathering starts." She nodded to Maplefur, who was looking on proudly, and went to sit off in the shadows. She went over what she was going to say, over and over in her head.

Harmonyhymn's emerald gaze swept the empty clearing. The small she-cat settled down, choosing to be with most of her clan. The excitement of having her warrior name announced to the clans raced through her, although she seemed very calm.

Goldstar emerged silently on his side of the hill, flicking his tail for his cats to approacd. He glanced over his shoulld briefly at Nudgewing, Fogberry, Aloeblossom, Joypaw, Rainbowsplash, Eclipsemelody, Depthvision, Heratkaaclaw, Sunbask, and Cavernpaw.
"When we arrive, keep away from any cats who have a suspicious scent...Sickness can be smelt over boarders, and I don't want PewterClan to catch it. Fogberry, Alloeblossom-"
Goldstar looked to the medicine cats gently.
"-Try and find out as much from the other medicine cats as you can on how to handle the sickness. I trust your experience, but from the smell it seems they have had a far worse fare of it then we have and surely know more about it. That said, let's head out."
He padded lithely into the gathering hill.

The Mapleclan tom purred with delight. This was his second gathering, and he had anticipated it for a long time. Or at least since the end of the last one. "Yes Honeystar." Glazepine mewed, glad to see how ready there new leader was directing the gathering cats. He pranced in, down the gentle slope, sitting in the front. They were the first clan there, so he waited for other clans to arrive and take a seat with him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The small dusky apprentice padded in the line of cats toward the end. Cavernpaw had always been a quiet one, and was always deep in thought. She never leaped before she thought, and would never do anything ageist the rules. She nodded slowly at Goldstar, and started down to the clearing one step at a time. It was her first gathering, and she wanted to observe her surroundings first.

Fogberry nodded, amber eyes solemn. The tortoiseshell medicine cat moved commandingly down the hill, tail twitching once to mention for Aloeblossom to follow. She took a quick look at the gathered Mapleclan cats, before determining that Summerfur and Limepaw weren't there, probably stuck in camp, caring for the sick cats.

((Yeah, I noticed that. I was like, Wha..?))
Joypaw nodded energetically at Goldstar and bounced around, excited at her first Gathering. She raced over to Cavernpaw, and the small white she-cat used him as a springboard to leap. Once she landed in front of him, she whiled around to face him. Golden ears twtiching excitedly, and tipped tail lashing, she was thoroughly happy to be there. Sayng that, she was usually happy.
So, you happy to be here too? This your first Gathering too? Are there going to be many cats? Do I get to meet others, too? Are all the leaders and the great warriors and the medicine cats and other... She carried on chattering to herself as she bounded around like a lunatic. She was going around and around the other cat as they walked.

Dawnstar led her cats down the hill and into the gathering. This was her first gathering as a leader. She was incredibly nervous. She looked back at the cat's behind her, trying to look confident. Meccapa, Dejectedpaw, Lightpaw, Morningpaw, Snarewire, Frostwinter, Pureflame, Cherryblossom, Earlysnow, and Icefire. She walked up to the the leaders. Her tail twitched anxiously, but she stuffed her fears and put on a strong face.
"It seems that all the clans are getting new leaders. How are you Goldstar, Honeystar." Dawnflower dipped her head in greeting.

Dejectedpaw trailed after his clan, sighting another apprentice further along, with Pewterclan. As he stared disbelievingly, she pranced around another apprentice, who seemed, to Dejectedpaw's eyes, to be ignoring her. Of course, he would too. Who needs someone that... bouncy?
He stuck close to his mentor, Earlysnow. This was his first gathering, and he was glad to be there.

Snarewire's eyes held a smidge of grief, but at the same time, a hint of pride that his kits would be here someday. He loped gingerly over to Shadeflower. He had known the MapleCLan deputy for awhile distantly. At least there was someone to tell about his new family...
"Hey Shadeflower, how's the prey running?"
He asked, attempting to keep his voice happy. Not waiting for an answer, he continued.
"Arcticbreeze had the kits. They are...Beautiful."
Goldstar dipped his head at Dawnstar.
"Welcome Dawnstar. Yes we are all quite new to this aren't we?"
He had only just become leader, but already he was the second most experienced of them. Very strange...Everything had happened so fast.

Nudgewing made her way over to Snarewire and Shadeflower, her eyes twinkling. Responsibility really made her mature. The petite's gait was more steady and graceful now, compared to her old childish bouncing step.
"Shadeflower, Snarewire. How's the prey been running?"

"Welcome Nudgewing, you look well."
Snarewire dipped his head respectfully at the deputy.
"Prey is running well, however my kits are running faster. They are a bit overly energetic, especially without their mother to calm them. But they are getting stronger and stronger every day..."
He said with pride. The father inside of him was so proud, all he wanted was for everyone to see that his kits were the most amazing thing that had ever happened to him. Besides Arcticbreeze...

Nudgewing nodded, serious, the regular mischievousness out of her gaze.
"Yes, well what can you expect? The descendants of Snarewire and Arcticbreeze...they'll be strong and healthy, no doubt about that."
The deputy purred, thinking about kits. Too bad, as deputy, she wouldn't get the privileges.
"Ah...and to think! I've heard that you were troublesome as a kit!"

Earlysnow looked confident and proud, after all he was the new deputy. He turned to look at his new apprentice. ''So its your first gathering. Why don't you get to know the other apprentices and explore the area where we meet?"He asked his apprentice
As soon as Dawnstar lead them to the clearing she broke to a run. Morningpaw was searching in the Mapleclan group for her tribe friend, Running along the Current.

Cavernpaw was surprised how Joypaw jumped all over her. She took a confused step back, squinting her eyes. As the other she-cat slowed down, and sat in front of her, Cavernpaw let her fur lie flat on her back. Joypaw's rapid talking made it hard for Cavernpaw to follow, but managed. "Uh, Yes I am. This is my first gathering too." She purred, happy to make a friend at the gathering. Or at least someone to talk too. Even though Joypaw was in her clan, she never really talked to her. Cavernpaw mostly hung out with the elders, listening to there story's, and helping them out.
