Firepaw nodded quickly, having to trot quickly to keep up with the she-cat, "PineClan border, right?"

(Hmmmmmmmmm)
Wingpaw rested his head on his paws, eyes flickering shut. Have to stay awake...got to watch Moonclaw, he reminded himself sharply, his eyes snapping open. Soon he realized Canopypaw's soft purrs had ceased, and she had fallen asleep. A small smile crept onto his muzzle as he glanced down at the sleeping she-cat.

Rainstar pelted from the tunnel, and leapt onto the Seer's Rock, snarling at Fire, her hackles flared. "After tonight, the Tribe won't dare to set a paw on my Clan's territory," her eyes flashed, "ever again." She leapt at the she-cat, her claws snagging flame-colored fur.

Fire spat furiously, and she reared, claws slashing Rainstar's ears, "we have never harmed you! Merely taken some prey! What's the harm in that?!"
"Shh!" Wingpaw hissed softly, raising his head, "she's sleeping, Silverwing. For StarClan's sake, don't jump to conclusions. She's just a friend."

Whitepaw skidded from the Medicine cat den, panting, "Canopypaw...Wingpaw...they....Nevermind...hunting sounds good." She nodded breathlessly.
Frozenblood nodded, her eyes focusing on the branches in front of her "Yes, they have been very quiet..."
Emberfeather tilted her head in confusion, but just nodded and continued on.
“That’s not ‘just a friend’. I know what I see, and honestly I’m not sure if Canopypaw is all that cut out to be a medicine cat. Don’t get mad, I understand. Many choose this path for a connection to Starclan. But, she also needs an understanding of herbs. Something she had had trouble gaining from what I’ve seen. So, don’t get mad. I’m just pointing out where she may do better.”
Whitepaw followed her, eyes narrowed. What had been going on between her brother and the young medicine she-cat? It must have just been a show of deep friendship, surely? Surely they were both to young to even start to feel anything other then friendship or even sibling like love with each other? Surely they wouldn't break the warrior code?

Wingpaw unsheathed his claws, but didn't dare move in fear of awaking Canopypaw. "Listen here, Silverwing. You are not a real medicine cat. You have no right to come in here and say that Canopypaw isn't cut to be a medicine cat. She's a better medicine cat then you'll ever be, better then Cloudfur. If you haven't noticed," his voice broke slightly, "she can't be a warrior. She has a mangled paw, and as much as I believe in her, she wouldn't make it as a warrior. Stop judging her abilities as a medicine cat, and don't jump to conclusions about our relationship. She's my best friend, nothing more."
Canopypaw didn't open her eyes, but her ears had become pinned against her head, clearly she had caught what Silverwing had said and was upset. She couldn't do anything but be a medicine cat and she growled a bit, her voice barely more then a sleepy whisper "Do not tell me what my destiny is, I belong in this den and I'm sure I'll die in this den but till then I will be a great medicine..." she wanted to defend herself more but sleep was already dragging down on her, she wanted to curse it but she was just to tired to mumble anything else.
