Fishkit is seen playing with her brother, Rockkit, and their friend Petalkit. They are being watched by Springflower as well as Deepwater's spirit.

### **Chapter 1**

Fishpaw is hunting a murre with Rockpaw and Petalpaw. It's revealed that this is the group hunting part of the warrior assessment. The apprentices split off with their mentors for the solo hunt section, Fishpaw and Coralclaw head to the tidepools. She spots a fish in the pools, but is interrupted by a wave drenching her. Fishpaw is angry at Coralclaw for not telling her about the wave, and remarks that she could have been swept away like Deepwater had been. This frustrates Coralclaw, she angrily tells Fishpaw to finish her assessment. Fishpaw ends up catching a crab and they return to camp.

     Back at camp, Fishpaw is greeted by Rockpaw, Petalpaw, and her mother, Sandywing. Petalpaw and Sandywing help dry Fishpaw off when she tells them that Coralclaw made her get wet. Sandywing tells her to be careful near the water but is quickly interrupted by the warrior ceremony starting. Crowstar excludes Fishpaw from the ceremony, only giving warrior names to Petalsong and Rockfall. Sandywing accuses Coralclaw for being the reason her daughter was held back and the two fight. Cloverfall separates them and it's revealed that Fishpaw has left camp. Rockfall and Petalsong are told that they cannot go search for her.

Far outside of the territory, Fishpaw is sulking alone when she encounters Firespots. She first mistakes him for a fox, and then meets and actual fox, Twiggy. When she tells him that she doesn't know who he is, he explains that he is a rogue and was formerly a part of OceanClan. The two talk about their histories over a meal and Fishpaw gathers that Firespots does not like Crowstar. Fishpaw awkwardly excuses herself, trying to make sure he doesn't follow her before she heads back to camp after dark.

Fishpaw arrives back home just before dawn, she greets Rockfall and Petalsong and congratulates them somewhat bitterly. She bumps into Cloverfall, who tells her that she will train with her later that day after she gets some rest.

### **Chapter 2**

Fishpaw and Cloverfall discuss why Cloverfall leading the training of Fishpaw instead of Coralclaw. Coralclaw was injured, and can't. Fishpaw goes to hunt, and proceeds to overhear Cloverfall arguing with Sunheart and Winterwing over Sunheart stealing prey on OceanClan territory. Cloverfall lets them go, which confuses Fishpaw. Cloverfall says it will keep the peace, but the dispute should not be mentioned.

Later that day, Fishpaw and Petalsong are eavesdropping on an agrument between Coralclaw and Crowstar. Crowstar had made Fishpaw Coralclaw's apprentice only to help mend the relationship between Sandywing and Coralclaw, because Fishpaw acted like Coralclaw. Fishpaw is saddened by this, and Petalsong takes Fishpaw off into the territory. Petalsong and Fishpaw discuss about Coralclaw, Cloverfall, Crowstar, and how Fishpaw had failed their assessment. Petalsong tries to reassure that Cloverfall isn't out to get Fishpaw.

The next day, Fishpaw is on a border patrol with Pebblerun, Halfshadow, and Coralclaw. Fishpaw goes off to hunt, and runs into Talondusk. Talondusk annoys Fishpaw by saying it's embarrassing that Fishpaw doesn't have a warrior name yet. Fishpaw walks off, running into Firespots. He convinces Fishpaw to be taught how to climb trees, and sees Talondusk, Sunheart, and Winterwing discussing something suspicious.

     Fishpaw goes back to Coralclaw, and they proceed to get into an argument. Coralclaw gives up and takes the role of being the "bad guy", tackling Fishpaw. Fishpaw runs back to the camp, only to get tackled by Shadepaw, a TreeClan apprentice. It is shown that Talondusk, Sunheart, Winterwing, Icetail, and Greypad are attacking the OceanClan camp. They soon retreat, and OceanClan begins to argue about the situation. Wondering who had stolen prey, and why the leader nor deputy of TreeClan were there. Fishpaw bumps into Whisperleaf, and proceeds to help the medicine cat. After some time, Fishpaw asks Whisperleaf is she can be his apprentice.

### **Chapter 3**

Fishpaw asks to be Whisperleaf's medicine apprentice, and everyone is shocked by this. Sandywing tries their best to persuade Fishpaw into staying a warrior, but Fishpaw refuses. Whisperleaf asks Crowstar if he could have an apprentice, and after some thinking, she accepts. Coralclaw seems remorseful, but stomps off. Sandywing seems to be against this desicion, but Whisperleaf takes Fishpaw to the medicine den. They wonder if something had happened with Coralclaw, and Fishpaw is vague, not mentioning the tackling. Petalsong comes into the medicine den, making sure if Fishpaw really wants this. Fishpaw admits it was impulsive, but stands by their decision. Petalsong seems saddened by this, but is willing to stand by Fishpaw's decision, and they both are blushing.

    Fishpaw is learning how to become a medicine cat, and while days pass, Whisperleaf and Cloverfall are making sure Crowstar doesn't retilaite with an attack. Sandywing tries to convince Fishpaw that everything will be alright if Fishpaw becomes a warrior still, but Fishpaw refuses. Sandywing seems to ignore their feelings, and this angers Whisperleaf. He defends Fishpaw, and proceeds to take Fishpaw to go gather herbs.

While Fishpaw and Whisperleaf are gathering herbs, Fishpaw asks Whisperleaf if they are like Coralclaw. Whisperleaf responds by saying that Fishpaw is hurt, and that Coralclaw is too. It's just that Coralclaw is refusing any help offered. Whisperleaf understands that Coralclaw's actions are not justified. Whisperleaf and Fishpaw both to come to an agreement to treat eachother respectfully and like adults.

### **Chapter 4**

Fishpaw is in the middle of a dream, it's raining heavily, when suddenly a large figure throws Fishpaw off of a cliff into the ocean. Fishpaw wakes up, back in the medicine den. Everything seems normal, but Fishpaw is obviously bothered by this dream.

Whisperleaf tells Fishpaw to go have some free time, as the gathering will be stressful. Fishpaw decides to leave the camp, climbing trees and making her way over to Firespots. Instead, she runs into foxes. She is scared, but wonders if she can talk to Firespots. Fishpaw learns there are five foxes in total, but they aren't here to hurt OceanClan or TreeClan. Fishpaw explains that they're a medicine apprentice now, and Firespots claims he would've done something differently. Making sure he would have to be given a different mentor, but not an "violent" way of course. Fishpaw admits what Coralclaw did to Firespots, and Firespots is enraged. Fishpaw admits they didn't tell anyone because they thought people would believe that she deserved it. Firespots reassures that Fishpaw didn't deserve, no matter what anyone thinks. Fishpaw and Firespots discuss that TreeClan attacked OceanClan, they both agree Crowstar isn't happy.

Back at camp, Crowstar is calling the cats to attend the gathering. Rockfall, Petalsong, Smallstripe, Halfshadow, Sandywing, and Fallenscar. Tensions seem high as they attend the gathering place. Fishpaw notices that Sandywing and Silverstone, her mate, are flirting. Fishpaw wonders if this is even allowed. Fishpaw notices Talondusk, and is angered, but Cloverfall urges Fishpaw to calm down. Crowstar starts the agrument, enraged. Dapplestar clarifies that their clan had disregarded their order, and their intent was never to attack. Dapplestar was simply asking to stop the prey-stealing, as it had happened three times. Crowstar and Dapplestar argue over not wanting to start a war, Crowstar yelling that Dapplestar was never fit to lead, ever since they had killed the last leader of TreeClan. Talondusk blurts out that Crowstar had let Autunmstar die to become a leader, and Crowstar is enraged, swiping at Dapplestar. This suddenly ends the meeting, as StarClan covers the moon. Cloverfall is angered by Crowstars actions, and the entire clan seems stressed out about the situation, hoping another war doesn't start.
