a night of stars... and camping!

[Rainspark]

a lean tabby tom padded into a gorse-lined hollow. he raised his head and sniffed the air, and as if a signal, raised his tail. a small red tabby kitten rushed in after...
"Red! What are you doing?" the older cat hissd when the kit ran into him. Red rubbed his nose with a paw "Ouch! Sorry Juniper, couldn't see where I was going."
Juniper purred, he couldn't stay angr for long. He gave his son's ear a lick and padded around the hollow "This will do for tonight. Find a place to sleep and get some z's..."
Red nodded, yawning, then stubmbled towards a bush at the other end of the hollow. Juniper investigated a big thorn bush the crawled underneath. its thick branches blocked out the starry sky, and he sighed, this would do. he curled his tail over his nose and closed his blue eyes...
he woke up in a grassy clearing, but not the one he had fallen asleep in. he jumped up, eyes wide with alarm "Red!" he yowled in a panicky voice.
he saw something silver moving in the distance, and squinted his eyes. it was a cat, a silver ct. It padded slowly towards him and his fur bristled and he hissed, but the cat kept coming. It didn't seem agressive towards him though, quite calm actually. the cat stopped before him 'Juniper, we have been waiting for you. EarthClan is waiting for you. You shall be one of four who will lead. StarClan will guide you every step of the way. You shall meet with others. Worlds apart must join together or face certain doom. Don't you see? As rouges you will only tear each other apart, it's a cat vs cat world, with no purpose to life or death or bloodshed. As warriors, you shall have a purpose... and Juniper, that's your destiny...." Juniperstar...
the cat faded and the world blurred, and Juniper woke up, the sun streaming through the thorn bush's branches
Red sat outside the den. "Juniper! GET up, get UP! i'm hungry! Let's go catch some rabbits!"

[Scarstar~Shadowstar]

Scarstar led the Snow and Echo out of Earthclans camp and toward the boundaries, but she stoped when she sented another cat. Her furr bristled. Willowshade realized what was happening and he bared his teeth. "Dont seem hostile. We want to be friendly." Scarstar hissed.

[Rainspark]

Juniper scented the newcomers the moment they stepped paw into the clearing. 'Red, shush" Juniper hissed, andhe crept out of the bush. he saw the cats in the clearing and padded towards them, head held high "Greetings" he mewed coolly
Red hurried after him, blue eyes wide, and curious. "Cats!" he mewed
Snow hissed, and crouched, unsheathing claws, as if preparing to fight
Echo poked him "Cool it" she growled

[Scarstar~Shadowstar]

Scarstar meowed camly, "Hello, we mean no harm, we would like it if you came out and talked with us."

[Rainspark]

"Well, we were just leaving, but... I suppose." he padded over and sad down, curling his tail around his paws. "So talk. it is rather unusual for rouges to travel in such large groups." Juniper noted, studying them "Last i checked, we kept to ourselves. Not that it's a bad thing, afterall, it can get pretty lonely out here." he smiled ,and flicked his tail. Red bounced over and skidded to a halt in front of the cats. he glanced at them all quickly and smiled. "This is so cool! Hi! Who are you guys? I'm Red ,and this is Juniper." his father growled, and shot him a warning glance

[Scarstar~Shadowstar]

"Why hello there! Aren't you just a little ball of fun? We are traveling in such a large groups because we are looking for cats to join the clans. I am Scarstar leader of Fireclan, there is also Iceclan, Earthclan, and Ivyclan. Scarclan has chose me and Willowshade," she nodded towrd Willowshade. "To help bring the clans together. We both dreamt of starry cats." she stopped letting them take it all in.

[Rainspark]

'Starry cats?" Juniper gasped, blue eyes wide. "I had a dream last night about a silver cat with stars in his fur. He said 'We have been waiting for you', and that I would 'be one of four who will lead.' He mentioned StarClan and EarthClan! Worlds apart must join together or face certain doom. I don't unterstand most of it, but he said that it was my destiny. And he called me something wierd too, JuniperSTAR!"
Red stared at his father 'What is going on?"

[Scarstar~Shadowstar]

"I think that Starclan has picked you to be the leader of Earthclan. Will you follow your destiny? The forest would be lucky to have you."Scarstar asked.

[Rainspark]

Juniper blushed 'I'm not really sure what any of this means, or whats going on, but if it's truy my destiny, I shall accept. What else could I do?" he shrugged.
Red gasped "I wonder what MY destiny is! cool, Juniper, what's gonna happen now?" twirls around circles

[Scarstar~Shadowstar]

Scarstar smiled at the little cat, then looked up at Juniper, "Well I think you should go to Earthclan and see if there are any cats there, if not then we should meet somewhere where we can all get to meet each other, we will go to the other clans and gather the cats that have chose to join and we should award them with their names. Does anyone have an idea of where to meet?" She asked, not wanting to seem bossy.

[Rainspark]

Juniper looked thoughtful. if he were to be a leader, he should learn to speak up. "I saw a hollow yesterday, not far from here. it was big and had foru pines trees in it. You can't mis it, about there? In a few nights it will be full moon, so it will be plenty bright. Shall we meet there, then?"
Red licked his lips "I remember that place, good prey."

[Scarstar~Shadowstar]

"Sounds perfect. Any cats you meet shall be invited to join. The night of the full moon at the Fourpines. I shall see you all there." She dipped her head and padded to Fireclan.

[Rainspark]

"Farewell, Scarstar!" Juniper called. "See you in a few nights."
after they left Red turned to his father "If you will be called Juniperstar, who shall i be? I want a special name!"
Juniperstar thought for a moment. "You shall be Redpaw, because your paws are on this new path, leading to your destiny."
