 IceStorm padded over to thunderpaw, waves of loneliness coming off her. She swiped her paw over the apprentices ears.

[I purred, surprised. I swatted back at Icestorm playfully.
I opened my mouth to say something, then found that my voice had left me. I gasped, surprised. I wished I could talk more with Hawkpaw, but...
Wait. Was that something that was going to get in the way of my promise? I wasn't sure. Did I have to avoid him now? I didn't want to! But...what if it did make him decide to "settle" for me? Then Moonkit would be hurt.
My mind ached. I decided to think about it another day. I sighed, glancing over at him wistfully. If only things weren't so complicated! And I was sure he had no idea about any of it.]
(( I hasta go now, so just have Thunderpaw...hang around. D: See ya! <3 ))

 H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________Hawkpaw was about to reply to Thunderpaw, but then his mentor appreared, as if sensing their emotions. She and Thunderpaw exchanged playful ear-swats.
“Hello, Icestorm.”
He mewed with forced enthusiasm. These days stress seemed to even come from his friends...
[[Me too, so...yeah. Bye! :3]]

 Moonkit
"Maybe I'm just being selfish. I.. I really like another cat. Who knows maybe it could blossom into love.. But my duty isn't something I can just brush off easily. I .. I think I'm ready." she mewed looking distant.
"Would everyone be proud of me?" she whispered as if talking to herself.
"How come I always have to be the strong one? Must I always sacrifice what I love for the sake of the clan?" she mewed quietly leaning her head in Starpelt's fur.
[She shuddered, she was remembering the night her mother had died in the line of duty.
Her mother had asked her if she would be okay by herself.
She was only 4 and a half moons old, able to eat fresh kill by herself.
She told her mother yes, but really she had longed for her to stay.
But then and there she had made that sacrifice for her clan, not having a skilled senior warrior may have hurt the clan in the battle.
They couldn't afford that.
And her mother had never returned that night.]
Moonkit shuddered once more, relishing in Starpelt's soothing purr.]

"The way I see it is this:You have someone close to you,but don't want to sacrifice the bond just to become what you want to be,"[Starpelt said.]"On one paw,you want to become a medicine cat,and help your clan.On the other,you want to be with your friends and have a mate.And you're not selfish for thinking about these options."[Stareplt looked down at the kit.]"I didn't go through what you are going through when I was about to be an apprentice.My mother and father died in a border skirmish.Then I was engulfed in sadness and seperated myself from the clan.I never wanted to talk to anyone,that is,until I became a medicine cat apprentice.I thought that I shouldn't remorse and thought that I should interact more.A good medicine cat must know what happens in the clan.Now about everybody being proud of you depends on you.It's what you choose to do with your responsibilites that proves what you're worth to the clan.Just try your hardest,and the cats will see that you are the best you can be.And I did hear about your special gift.I think that proves you were destined to become a medicine cat.Again,that depends on you."[She said.]
((Has to go now,I'll try to get on tomorrow.Bye~))

IceStorm turned her head to one side and looked at Hawkpaw for a moment. "You seem to be forcing in a comment." She turned her head back the way it was. "What's wrong?" she asked. She wanted to share her hapiness with her friends.

"Life will not slow for one cat. The most you can do is to hope that the pain will go away soon."
-----------------------------------------------------------
The young cat turned in his nest. It was impossible for him to sleep. Everything seemed wrong. The prey, the fresh-kill, and even the smell of the area. It was like...something was OFF. Not bad, per se, but...different. Not normal. Like something was going to happen. Kind of the energy before a storm. Something like that. The warrior knew it. But if he said something, he feared being thought of as insane. A mad cat. Caught the sickness. Maybe it was just him, being paranoid as ever. He got up, and padded to the middle of the camp. Somehow, with others around, things seemed better.

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw gaped for a moment, surprised that Icestorm could see through him so easily. Well, then again, she was older than him...
“It's just...everything that's been going on right now...It's all just a little overwhelming.”

Moonkit
[Moonkit nodded and backed away from Starpelt to lick her pelt self-consciously.]
"I understand Starpelt. I know what I must do." she mewed gravely.
[Starpelt nodded, looking a little proud?
Moonkit padded slowly away, her mind transfixed on the role that she must play for her clan.]

Starpelt watched as Moonkit padded away.She was proud of her.Starpelt was proud because Moonkit had finally made up her mind,but which option she chose is unknown."Whatever she chooses is what she wants,"[Starpelt murmured to herself.]

__________________________________
((I think Thunderclan is the only one that doesn't jump two pages overnight, so don't worry, rain. D:
And, somehting else. Someone commented (harshly) to me (not sumomo) about giving rain cat of the week as a bribe to have her character, Hawkpaw, mate with Thunderpaw.
That is the farthest from the case. I gave her cat of the week because her writing is literate, she has created several characters for our guild, and has been polite and honest. Those are the key things that I look for with the Cat of the Week. And I'm ashamed anyone would think that I would even think I would be bribing anyone because of my position as vice captain.
I want you to know, rain, that it's your choice involving Hawkpaw's mate. I will not be mad if you choose Moonkit, and I will not "reward" you if you choose Thunderpaw. I hope my position hasn't intimidated you about that. D:
Well, now that that's said, Thunderpaw's aching to see Moonkit! ~<3))
[I wriggled in my spot. I was anxious to see Moonkit...all this talk about her made me miss my friend. I had no siblings, and Moonkit had replaced any littermates I might have had.
I jumped up, unable to bear the anxiety. I quickly padded forward, my paws trembling. I spotted Moonkit walking slowly forward, her eyes in a far away place.]
"Moonkit!" I cried, dashing forward.
[I jumped on her gently, and licked her head happily.]
"I'm so glad to see you!" I cried.
[I stepped back and looked at her. Her silvery coat shone beautifully in the moonlight, her namesake. My mother's voice said thoughtfully, Ah, I see why he holds affection for her... I pushed her back again. I didn't care about that now.]
"Moonkit," I said, "you don't have to tell me what your decision has been. And...there's something I have to tell you."
[My tail twitched. I shifted nervously on my feet.]
"Ah...that is...well...you see, I know you sort of have feelings for Hawkpaw, and...I'm pretty sure he has feelings for you, too. The, uh, complicated thing is that, well...I have feelings for him as well. And I'm not so sure what he feels for me.
But I want you to know that if you love him, but you decide to become medicine cat, well...I would never be with him.
You see...it isn't fair to you to lose him because of your dream. And, I don't think I could live with being his second choice.
So...I want you to know that I'll be true to you, and true to our friendship, even though it's only been a few moons. You...you're like the littermates I lost that night. I think of you as a sister...no, as my best friend.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I want to be loyal to you. If...if it hurts you, not having Hawkpaw, and it hurts him...I'd only get in the way of that. I suppose. It's really whatever you want."
[I sighed. I hoped she understood.]
"Not that I wouldn't be with him if you were medicine cat...I mean! I mean, if it hurt you for me to be with him, and you were medicine cat, I wouldn't be with him. That's what I'm really trying to say."
[I shifted my paws again nervously.]
"Ah...I'm so nervous. I just...I love you, Moonkit, like my closest sibling, like my best friend in the forest- no, the world. But I...I think I love him, too. And I want to know how you feel about that."
[In all my rushed talking, I realized I had never given her a chance to respond. I settled down, waiting patiently for her answer. My tail rested on her paws, twitching nervously, but my mind felt clear and serene as I stared into her deep blue eyes.]

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw blinked gratefully at Icestorm. Just as he did so, Thunderpaw seemed to rush away from him and to Moonkit. As he was about to yell something after her, Icestorm batted his ear, making him flinch in surprise and spark an idea.
“Hey, why don't we start on my training? I'd like to see the borders, if you don't mind.”
Hawkpaw jumped to his paws as he spoke. His eyes glittered in their former kit-like enthusiasm. Perhaps if he get away from both Thunderpaw and Moonkit for a little while, it'll allow him some time to think.
[[True, about the two pages thing. :3
Secondly...like, wow. Uh, whoever did comment about that, just for the record, I was going to wait a while before even considering choosing Hawkpaw a mate. He himself doesn't even know what the Dark Forest a mate is, for that matter. For all you all know, he could end up with some random she-cat from another Clan...Not that he will! No guarantees there. ;3
Beside, they're all still apprentices!! How could they even know what love is?! In human year's, they'd be about 9 - 12-ish, so they're still kids! DX
Blah, whatever. I'm not even gonna get into this. > >;
And, thank you, Timber. ^ ^]]

Moonkit
(( Timber I'm sorry someone even tried to do that. ): ))
[Moonkit looked to the sky.
It'd felt like she'd aged a few moons.]
"Thunderpaw, my closest friend, no -- my sister. I love you too much to lie to you. So I won't." she started.
"It's true my feelings for Hawkpaw, I have been completely honest."
[She sighed as tears rolled gently down her cheeks, she didn't try to stop them.]
"But.. I have chosen my path. No -- I've accepted my path. I must become a medicine cat. I wouldn't feel right doing anything else." she meowed simply.
"I don't believe you are his second choice, and I also don't believe that I am his first." she choked out, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I truly believe that Hawkpaw is angry. He's angry at me for leaving him, he never really loved me. He just trying to prevent me from leaving him." she mewed sighing once more.
"I -- I don't really love him either. I'm just protecting him, from what I must say." she mewed crying.
"He'll never understand, he didn't before. He won't now." she mewed leaning into Thunderpaw's comforting presence.
