---I need to see you again---
Breezepelt trotted after his father and onto the gathering island. Only Cometclan was already there. Breezepelt spotted the golden pelt of Amberleaf the Fireclan deputy. The grey tabby fur of Littlethorn and the bright ginger pelt of his new mate Mapletail. With a nod from Onestar. Breezepelt hurried to the center of the island. He paused to say hello to the Fireclan medicene cat. Featherstorm was a gorgeous silver she cat with white tabby markings.
She nodded a greeting to him. Then Breezepelt nearly tripped over another cat. The cat whipped aroud. And Breezepelt found himself nose to nose with Rabbitpaw. "Hi." She said jerking back from him. Another cat slid over, but before the rusty brown tom could say anything the other clans poored into the island. And the gathering began.
Icestar leaned forward to announce his clans well bieng last. "Cometclan is doing quite well. We have two new apprentices. Pinepaw, and Rabbitpaw." He gestured to where the two young cats were sitting. Breezeplet shook his head what was his problem!? He couldn't push away his annoyance as Pinepaws tail wrapped around Rabbitpaw's side.
Icestar continued talking. He even announced that Mapletail was expecting kits. The she-cat blushed. Littlethorn leaned over and licked her cheek. Breezepelt called congratulations along with several other cats. Mapletail was accepted. But Littlethorn was well liked.
Finnally it was simply time too mingle. Breezepelt chatted with Littlethorn for several moments. Before he moved onto Rabbitpaw. The apprentice was standing next to Pinepaw. "So... Are you too siblings?" Breezepelt had to ask. Pinepaw shook his head "Nope!" Suddenly the apprentice looked up. His name was being called. He trotted off.
Breezepelt shifted awkwardly. Rabbitpaw's yellow-green gaze was fixated on his jaw "How's you're lip healing up?" She asked. Breezepelt licked the scratch "Much better now. It took its time healing." He took a step closer to her. "You fight well.... For an apprentice." Rabbitpaw smiled at him "Thank you." She responded.
Breezepelt glanced around awkwardly "Ok... This sounds insane." He whispered leaning somewhat close to the apprentice "Will you meet with me? On the border? Tomorrow night. I wan't to talk too you. And not awkwardly like this." Rabbitpaw looked up at him. It took her awhile to repond "Sure. You're right it does sound insane." She said "But interesting. See you then Breeze-brain."
She turned tail and dashed to catch up to a large dark grey tom. Considering the proud grin he gave Rabbitpaw. Breezepelt figured that was her father. He had the same eyes as the small she-cat too.
Breezepelt was so happy. He was a total idiot and had made a awful decision that could endanger him and the pretty young she-cat. But he was happy he would get to see her. Without prying eyes.
