The other leaders had all made their announcements and updates and were waiting for Fleetstar to take his turn. "uh.. Fleetstar, it's your turn?" Burrstar meowed.
"Huh...what'd you say, Everhea - oh, hi Burrstar."
"Better stop daydreaming - they'll think you have rabbit fluff for brains," the WindClan leader mewed, gesturing with his tail to the assembled cats below.
"I know. Thanks, Burrstar."
"No problem", Burrstar replied.
Fleetstar shook himself and began. "It has been a good leaf-bare for Thunderclan, despite the cold. We have a new apprentice, Sunpaw, mentored by Everheart."
"Sunpaw! Sunpaw!" the cats cheered. Sunpaw, feeling singled out, tried as hard as she could to shrink into her pelt and become invisible. "But Fleetstar," Foxpelt of Shadowclan called, "Everheart has only been a warrior for 12 moons...."
"I know that, and she has proven herself to be a good, loyal, and true warrior," Fleetstar snapped, "and her past is no reason to criticize her. The great Firestar was once a kittypet, have you forgotten that?" Fleetstar continued: "We have no more to report. Cats of all clans, you may mingle and talk as you wish." The five leaders leaped out of the Great Oak and returned to their clans.
Fleetstar made a beeline for Sunpaw and Everheart. "Sunpaw, would you mind to talk to Dovepaw or some other cat for a bit? I'd like to speak to Everheart."
"S-sure, Fleetstar." A confused Sunpaw went to join her friends.
Everheart and Fleetstar headed to a quiet spot in the bushes to talk. "Everheart, I''ll get right to the point. You are a wonderful cat, and for several moons now I've considered this. I love you, Everheart. Would you please be my mate?"
@The Chick Addict your turn. I will be back in the morning asap
