Cherrypaw padded into the misty air of the Starfalls and took a deep breath, the scent of water filling her nostrils. She looked back at her mentor Silverstream to see that she was as calm and quite as ever, which Cherrypaw didn't understand as excitement and fear crept up her spine while she gazed around the cavern.

This was her first time at the Starfalls and she has to admit it was as breath taking as her mentor had explained. A crystal clear pool of water with stars reflecting gently on the surface of it making it shimmer with joy.

She let out a gasp and felt a nudge and walked forward, hearing other paw steps in the distance telling her that the other 2 clans medicine cats and their apprentices were on the way. She padded towards the the other medicine cats and dipped her head respectfully saying, "Greetings, it's a pleasure to meet you all." Did that just come out of her mouth? She was never like this, she was always too full of energy to contain her emotions and would say something like, "Hi! My name is Cherrypaw, like the fruit!" which would always embarrass her too much to ever speak with that cat again, so this was an accomplishment for her!

Silverstream padded quickly, and quietly after her apprentice as they arrived at Starfalls. She could tell she was excited about the gathering. After all, it was her first time. But for her Silverstream it all became natural to come here. She looked around eyeing everything it was just how she remembered it. She smiled warmly. She just loved how polite her apprentice was. Which earned her a slight nod of her head in accnoligment. She sat down swiping her tail over her paws neatly. "You sure are excited now aren't you?" She meowed with a chuckle as she questioned Cherrypaw. She let out a sigh as she waited for the other medicine cats to arrive.

Cherrypaw heard her mentor chuckle and comment on her excitement and she nodded, "Yes! I can't wait to meet our fallen warriors!"

A sudden thought struck her and she gasped remembering that she had to be accepted first, "They will accept me right?" She thought about what it would be like if she didn't get accepted, she would be humiliated, a disappointment to all the clans, she would never be able to show her face again. Worst of all she would become... A WARRIOR. No I'm too soft! I would never survive! She got lost in her thoughts and she started to shiver just thinking about this.
