* / APPLEPAW ; interacting with Shadepaw && Marigoldpaw [ little blu ♥ ] location : gathering spot. Applepaw turns his head to Shadepaw at the sudden feeling of his tail resting on his back. He softly smiles at him once more. ❝...I hope so.❞ he responds only for his ears to prick up and his head to turn quickly back to where the leaders nowsat on the large oak stump. It looked like the gathering had started. Emberstar upon leapingup onto the stump intentionally tried to knock Hawkstar off, but Hollystar quickly intervenedbetween the two toms. Young Applepaw could see that the other two leaders were really reallytired of the constant bickering between Hickoryclan and Thistleclan and it only seemed to getworse since Hawkstar's mates passing recently. Which made Applepaw feel awful even if he wasn'tapart of the big fight. Shadepaw's mother got killed because of his clan. The red and white tomdid feel comforted by Marigoldpaw as she laid her head on his shoulder but his eyes kept dartingover to Shadepaw. He hoped that his friend would be able to overcome his place as a shadow.He believed he could as time passed on. It was about maybe 2 hours before the gathering ended. All the clans werenow dispersing back to their own camps. Applepaw was busy talking to his friendssaying goodbye when he felt a presence behind him. He turns his head and is greetedby a lean pretty calico. ❝Mama!❞ he pipes up happily padding over to her and rubbing his headagainst her leg purring. ❝Hello my little fish.❞ Hollywhisper responds lovingly as she lowers her head and licks the top of Applepaw's head in greeting and affection. Hollywhisper lifts her head away from Applepaw and her green eyes graze over the otherthree apprentices yet seems to stop at Shadepaw, her head tilts as she seems to try and figure out whythe small brown and white tabby looks so familiar only for it to finally click. So this was one of Hawkstar's kits. She smiles sweetly. ❝Well, it's nice to know you're making friends with Thistleclan instead of trying to make an enemy out of them, like your father.❞ Hollywhisper finishes speaking only to then nudge Applepaw with her nosesignaling him that they needed to get going. ❝Come on, let's go find your father before he commits a homicide.❞ Hollywhisper then leaves to go find her mate. Applepaw starts to follow his mother only to stop and turn his head once moreto look back at his friends. He beams at them before running off after his mother, his red and white peltdisappearing in the crowd of cats.[ I didn't do Lilacpaw because I really couldn't think of anything. :/ ]
[ alos IDEA! What if another reason why Hawkstar and Emberstar don't get along is that during the big fight where Ivybreeze passes maybe Emberstar was just unfortunately standing near her body and Hawkstar thinks his former best friend had killed her when it actually had been one of his warriors, Skytooth ]

( Fox, you're brilliant! That is a genius idea! Hawk would have to restrain himself from not tearing Emberstar apart even more. The absolute betrayal. I mean they were already fighting but I imagine he still kind of held a softer spot in his heart, like when he thought back on their younger days and then he saw his former best friend standing over the wife of his mate... it literally shattered him. )

[ Thanks :] ! It just kind of came to me as I was writing a tiny bit of Emberstar in my reply lol Though I do feel Emberstar feels extremely hurt that his former best friend would even think that he would ever hurt Ivybreeze let alone kill her. Ember I feel still sees Hawk as his best friend but doesn't really know where he stands with Hawk. idk ]

( Meanwhile, my two cats are definitely destined to be warriors over here. Marigoldpaw is compassionate and she has a real loving side, but she's protective and fierce too. Shadepaw is just a grumpy boi who goes soft boi around his friends ~ )

( It's probably a good idea to figure out Lilac and Marigold ~ A fight could be interesting? What would they fight about do you think? We could also have someone try and come between them? Like a love-triangle type thing? Or maybe Lilac doesn't want to risk having a mate - especially since it would be doubly forbidden and she seems sensitive to her clan's criticism? )

[ I did plan on making Lilac be a strong believer of starclan and the laws of being a medicine cat plus loving her clan so much. but I also enjoy a good love triangle. why not do both? ]

( We could definitely try to work out both! c: Maybe since Lilac wants to focus on her studies, another female starts moving in on Marigold? )

[ since I've made Lilac to be such a softie and very into her work plus being of pure kittypet blood at heart adds herself to be timid she won't try and fight back to try and win Marigold back mostly because Marigold is such a tough girl and Lilac feels she doesn't need some weak-willed/timid molly chasing her tail everywhere. ]

[ I kind of want this to be the last gathering Apple and Lilac are at because they both end up getting to be medicine cat apprentices and maybe they end up being so busy that they can't come to the gatherings anymore until like Marigold and Shade are new warriors / Apple and Lilac get their full med names?? just to be a surprise to how good looking they all grew up to be lol ]

( I completely agree! Apple and Shade are genuinely each other's best friends, I can't even imagine if they had to meet in battle. Like Hawkstar tried to attack HickoryClan camp and Shadefrost rushed to save Apple from some of his clan mates who were targeting the medicine cat den. Oh lord. The drama. xD )

[ The two have a lot in common, living in the shadows of their mighty fathers plus Shade having to deal with his older siblings probably getting more attention from Hawk because their bigger than Shade and possibly feeling less than them (but that's all up to you since he's your character lol). Apple feeling completely shunned by his father for wanting to be a medicine cat (completely ruining the lineage of his family).
Yet Apple being all sweet to Shade and giving him love and attention and trying to boost his confidence plus constantly telling him : "Plus Set En Vous, Shadefrost." - - - "plus est en vous", a contraction of "plus est en vous que vous pensez" meaning, "there is more in you than you think"
Oh gosh. the drama indeed xD We so should add that though to their plot line > : D ]

( No, that's exactly how it is. Shade is naturally a smaller, more slender cat - much like his mother Ivybreeze. Neither of his siblings got this build, they're more stocky and muscular like Hawkstar and much taller. He is definitely looked down on by his father and even overlooked by some of his clan mates. Like "Oh yeah, Hawkstar had two sons? I forgot..." but I think at the end of the day, their father's love them, it's just not easy for them to show it. Which is why in the end they'll reluctantly set aside their feud. c:
Applebrook is genuiniely the support that Shadefrost needs and of course the boy will always try and be there for the ginger tabby in return. Like when he shreds the pelts of his own clan mates for getting near his man. xD
Absolutely we should, I'd love to see it. ^^ )

* / APPLEBROOK & LILACSPLASH ; interacting with Shadefrost && Marigoldsong [ little blu ♥ ] location : gathering spot. Shadepaw had ended being right after all, one moon after the last gathering Emberstar relented and allowed him tobe mentored by Jasminestream. He was super stoked yet he was going to miss Plumpounce but he knew being a medicine cat was his true destiny. When it happened he could tell his father was fighting a war with himself at how his little kit had confessed how he wasn’t giving up serving his clan but just giving up his father’s dream. Yet somehow he didn’t regret it he felt finally at peace with himself but now his father was purposefully ignoring him it seemed and it hurt young Applepaw that his father was that bitter about his decision. I mean, it was his life! He should be able to have options and decisions.
Luckily over the next three moons Applepaw became Applebrook and throughout his medicine cat apprenticeship he finds out that Lilacpaw - later Lilacsplash - was Galeclan’s medicine cat apprentice to Mallowstream. And if Applebrook was being honest, sweet Lilacsplash seemed more happy with who she was. And the siamese looked a bit more confident in her abilites which she lacked when being a warrior trainee. But the two young felines found since switching paths they were so busy they weren’t able to go to the annual gatherings. Which means they weren’t able to see Shadepaw and Marigoldpaw which did sadden them but Lilacsplash and Applebrook refused to let it deter them from their career.
It officially had been 5 moons since they last saw Shadepaw and Marigoldpaw and both were so excited to see their friends. Wondering what they had gotten up to in their lives. Applebrook hoped Shadepaw grew out of being his family’s little shadow and Lilacsplash hoped Marigoldpaw had become an outstanding warrior. The slim siamese made her way down the log that led to the gathering spot easily spotting Applebrook near a tree that was close to the usual meeting spot of the friends.
Applebrook and Lilacsplash quickly greet each other in eagerness to reunite with their childhood friends they both turn to weave their way through the sea of cats to the meeting spot. Only to stop at seeing two cats sitting there already. Applebrook cocks his head to the side with a confused expression on his face only to grin happily. Lilacsplash glances at Applebrook’s happy expression only to configure that these two cats must be Shadepaw and Marigoldpaw. Her blue eyes drift to the fluffy calico. She grew a lot. Very pretty. She smiles gently only almost to be knocked over by Applebrook knocking his shoulder into her’s as he bounds over to the two. The ginger and white maine coon mix ends up tackling the cat who he knows is Shadepaw to the ground. ❝Shadepaw!❞ he exclaims happily, a laughing tone in his voice. Lilacsplash wanders over slightly shaking her head with a soft laugh.
- - - - - -
[ I ended up making Apple and Lilac mashed up into one post for the reuniting as young adults. they’ll be separate on my next reply also I am terrible at trying to get my paragraphs lined up correctly, ugh ]

( Okay, response is being written as we speak. xD Also, I was thinking about Apple and Shade last night and I suddenly just realized how cute they are. Like, really. Apple is a large main coon tom, definitely could have been a powerful warrior if that's the path he had chosen. Shade is a slender, short boy who appears more suited for medicine cat duties, but he became a warrior instead. Their paths are like... switched. xD I absolutely love it! I can't stop picturing Thistleclan rushing into the medicine cat den, expecting a meek little cat and finding a huge red tom and then one of their smallest warriors comes and tries to defend the larger tom. lmao )

[ they are super cute ! but lol that's so true haha!
Actually Apple has all the features of a Maine coon but he's actually just a normal sized tabby cat, maybe slightly taller in height than Shade because of his Maine coon father but yeah lmao. ]

( they're adorable. c:
oh, that's cool though! it still leaves a shorter cat defending a taller one, which cracks me up for some reason. lol. though i imagine Shade is actually really good at fighting, very quick with his blows and agile when it comes to dodging ~ )

Marigoldsong with Shadefrost, Applebrook, and Lilacsplash // at gathering ↣ ↣ ❤ ↢ ↢
Walking proudly beside her former mentor, Marigoldsong flicked her fluffy tail, her soft green eyes alight with anticipation. Gatherings were always her favorite times, a little less so these past moons, when two of her friends had been unable to make it. Applepaw and Lilacpaw she'd heard, were hard at work becoming medicine cats. A sense of pride filled her chest for her friends, they were busy achieving their goals. She'd worked hard to get where she was, a full warrior of SlateClan. She'd earned her name two moons ago now, when she saved Amberkit and Hazekit - Amberpaw and Hazepaw now - from a hawk. She didn't think it was all that special, after all, anyone would have done the same.
"Go have fun, Marigoldsong. I'm going to find your mother, she's probably scolding Gingerface already," Whiteclaw purred, rolling her amber eyes. The fluffy torbie she-cat snickered in response, quietly agreeing with her mentor. Her sister hadn't really aged well - in the sense that she was still as self-absorbed and petty as she always had been, maybe even more so now. Marigoldsong padded along the familiar trail, brushing pelts with cats from her clan, as she neared the gathering spot. She of course, was the first one there. SlateClan were known for being early. She sat, curling her tail around her large paws, waiting for Shadepaw to join her.
"Shadepaw!" she called in shock, surprised that Thistleclan had made it second to the gathering - the clan was eternally late. Not this gathering apparently. Concern flashed in her eyes as Shadepaw made his way towards her, his head down, shoulders slumped. He looked more worse for wear every time she saw him. Two moons ago she'd almost had to shred some pelts when he'd limped into the clearing, clearly beaten by one of his own clan mates. The Norwegian Forest cat scoured the slender tom's pelt for any wounds, her claws working in the grass beneath her paws. Luckily, she found none. "What's wrong, are you alright?" she asked softly, her voice breaking with the weight of her concern.
Shadefrost with Marigoldsong, Applebrook, and Lilacsplash // at gathering ↣ ↣ ❤ ↢ ↢
While his friends were thriving, Shadefrost struggled to keep his head afloat in his clan. He was worn out, tired of being ignored or scorned, and a bit resentful towards his companions. Applepaw and Lilacpaw had left them to become medicine cat apprentices, and at first Shadefrost had assumed he'd scared them off. When Marigoldsong had admitted to him that she'd overheard her own medicine cat talking about the two newest apprentices, he'd been relieved. He had been happy for Applepaw and Lilacpaw, glad that they were able to follow their dreams. Then Marigoldsong and his siblings became a warrior before him because his father deemed him unworthy. Now he dreaded going to see his remaining friend, not wanting to pretend that everything was fine.
He slunk at the back of his clan, no one trying to make conversation with him. Shadefrost was used to it. The tom scowled as they reached the gathering space, breaking away from Thistleclan as though he was trying to escape from something - and maybe he was. He slowed when he neared the meeting space, flinching when he heard Marigoldsong call out to him. He'd fought viciously to become a warrior in Hawkstar's eyes and it still didn't feel like enough. "It's Shadefrost now and I'm fine," he replied as he slumped down beside her, his handsome face carefully forced into a stoic mask.
He knows Marigoldsong was about to call his bluff. As his only friend, he knew she could catch the small chinks in his stony disposition. But before she could get a word in, Shadefrost is tackled to the ground by a larger feline. Believing it to be one of his own clan coming to pick a fight with the "weakling" the tom snarls, his sharp white fangs bared. His frosty blue eyes snap with anger and his claws unsheathe themselves, ready to sink into the fluffy red fur. The calling of his former name catches him off guard and he narrows his eyes, trying to figure out who this strange tom was.
"Applepaw! Lilacpaw! Oh my gosh, you guys! Shade, enough," Marigoldsong gushes, her tail waving in excitement while she gives a more stern look to Shadefrost. The tom lets his claws retreat back into his paws, shocked that this tom could possibly be the red tom who had been his childhood friend. Slipping away from Applepaw's hold, the brown and white tabby retreated a few steps before sitting down - looking uncomfortable. "Sorry," he mumbled quietly, retreating further into himself.
"I heard you became medicine cat apprentices! That's so cool! I became a warrior two moons ago now, I'm Marigoldsong now! And Shadepaw just became a warrior apparently, he's Shadefrost now," the fluffy molly greets her friends warmly, nuzzling Applepaw before moving to touch noses with Lilacpaw. Her purrs vibrated in her chest, pleasure lighting her green eyes.
