A/N: Yes, it has been a year. I bet that I have no one that still looks at this. But I'm bored, so I shall write. To address what some people said concerning the first chapter, I only wrote that to get it out of the way. Zeus was in a bad mood that day :P But alas, I shall now finally update.

In ThunderClan…

"Come on Duskstrike, just a little bit more." It had been a difficult kitting. While two of the three kits had already been born, the last one was taking longer. Goldensong, only recently made a medicine cat after her mentor died, was nervous. It was her first kitting. At last the third kit, a golden tom, came out and Duskstrike collapsed onto the moss, too tired after the ordeal to do anything else.

"Sunstorm!" the young medicine cat called, "come see your kits!"

The entrance revealed a well-built tom with a golden pelt. His blue eyes were filled with happiness. He walked over to Duskstrike, who had recovered slightly and was laying on her side, letting the newly born kits suckle.

"What do you think their names should be?"

"You decide, you're the mother."

"Okay. I think that the she-cat should be Dawnkit, the gold one should be Swiftkit, and the brown one should be Lightkit."

"Those are perfect names. Let me go tell Ravenstar that everything went fine."

Duskstrike weakly touched noses with her mate before he bounded out of the den, awash with happiness.

In ShadowClan…

"Are you feeling alright Shadeclaw? I don't want you exerting yourself since you only had kits yesterday." Wolfblaze, ShadowClan's medicine cat, was staring her down to make sure that she got the point.

"But I feel so cramped in here already!"

"Alright, go for a quick stretch in the clearing."

As the queen pushed past him, Wolfblaze rolled his eyes. Sometimes queens could have an annoying temperament and Shadeclaw was no exception. She looked on into the nursery and saw Nightkit, Ashkit, and Goldkit curled up together on the soft and moss covered ground of the nursery. He walked over to the leader's den and poked his head in.

"Greetings Wolfblaze. I trust all is well?" Sootstar asked.

"Well, mostly. Last night, I had a dream after the kitting."

"Yes, what was it?" He sat up straighter now, both intrigued and somewhat worried.

"I was visited by one of my medicine cat ancestors, Littlecloud. He said that a great time was coming, but didn't say whether it was for good or evil. I looked up into Silverpelt and saw twelve brightly glowing stars, ones that were new to me. And then I woke up."

"Well, I don't think there is much we can do now about it, but we shall keep it in mind."

"Of course Sootstar."

In RiverClan…

"Hailkit! Stormkit! Get back in here right now!" Webmist called to two of her kits.

"But, we wanted to see what outside looked like!" Stormkit complained.

"Yes, I know. But I told you to wait for Shellkit." The mentioned kit slowly walked out of the nursery, squinting his eyes at the bright light in the sky.

"See, there he is! Now can we explore?" Hailkit asked.

"I guess. But don't go out of the camp and don't go into the warriors den. And keep together. All three of you."

"Okay! Shellkit, come one, let's go see the apprentice den!"

"Okay."

Webmist watched them from the entrance to the nursery and sighed. It had only been a few days and yet they were already starting to cause trouble, no matter how little it was.

"Relax, they're just being kits." Webmist stiffened at the sound, then relaxed upon hearing the soothing voice of her mate, Larkeye.

"I know, but they're so little. I don't want them to already get on the nerves of the senior warriors."

"Oh calm down, kits will be kits." Cloudshine put down the herbs in his mouth and walked over to the pair. "You were the same when you were younger."

"Oh shush it Cloudshine. Where did you leave Redpaw?"

"I sent him to get some borage. But I'll keep an eye on them if you would like."

"Oh, don't bother. I'm probably just fretting." Cloudshine quietly chuckled and, picking up the herbs again, made his way over to the medicine cat den.

And in WindClan…

"Skykit, would you get out of the medicine cat den?"

"I was only looking. Promise!"

"Go find your sisters and make sure they are not getting into any trouble."

"Alright Robinwing"

The queen watched her only tom run off to search for his sisters. It would keep him busy for a while, she had told them to hide before she called to him. Smiling, she went back into the nursery.

"Skykit in the medicine den again?" Foxstorm, the only other queen in the nursery, asked.

"Yes. He will no doubt become a medicine cat apprentice when he reaches six moons."

"And is that so bad?"

"I just want to make sure the when he goes in there for now that he is being watched."

Foxstorm was interrupted by saying anymore as Skykit, along with his sisters, Ebonykit and Honeykit, dashed into the den.

"I found them!"

"I thought I told you to hide better."

"He caught our scent really quickly."

"Oh well. Go say goodbye to your father before he leaves for the Gathering. As deputy he has a big job."

The three kits ran out again and found their father, Dustflight, and all jumped on him at once.

"Help! KitClan is invading!" Laughing he slipped from their grasp and sat down, smoothing down his fur. "I'll see you three tomorrow. You should be asleep by the time I get back to camp."

"Okay" the three kits chorused.

"I have to go see who Gorsestar wants to come to the Gathering."

"Bye!"

At the Gathering…

"We gather under the moon in a truce. What news is there?" Ravenstar called, bringing the Clans to a steady quiet.

Sootstar stepped forward "I shall share my news first. ShadowClan has three new kits, Nightkit, Ashkit, and Goldkit. We also chased a badger out of our territory. It headed beyond the Clan's boundaries, so we have no need to worry."

"RiverClan also had three kits born this moon, Shellkit, Hailkit, and Stormkit" Willowstar said.

"As did ThunderClan."

"And WindClan."

"Well," said Ravenstar, "It has been a prosperous moon for the Clans. Is there any other news to be shared?"

"Not from WindClan."

"Nor RiverClan."

"Very well. ThunderClan has no news either. Let us end this Gathering."
