## Story

Some distance from Stoneclan camp, the long-lost tom Acorn decides to stop pretending to be a stone at last.

In the camp, Mothpaw and Frecklepaw are in the midst of training, with the former demanding to learn about combat in order to protect her clan. Icebrook simply quips at them that they'll have a chance to get torn apart by enemy cats in no-time, with Tigerpounce attempting to provide her opinion as a seasoned warrior, but ultimately forgetting what they were even doing. Frecklepaw insists on waiting for an answer to no avail, while Bramblefawn wants to simply wrap things up so she can get to napping.

Ivypounce needs to talk with Finchfang, but the tom insists on eating first and grabs a nearby rabbit. He then asks what Ivypounce wanted to talk about, but the she-cat remarks back plainly instead of answering, leaving him confused.

Rosefoot tries to talk with his brother Snailstar, but the leader looks to have fallen asleep on the job. Antlerthorn asks if they should wake him up, but Rosefoot dismisses the idea- not sure what to do anymore.

Birdtail sees Featherwind back in camp proper, trying to reach out as a friend- but Featherwind ignores her, blurting out that no cat in the clan has ever respected her. Birdtail seems confused, but when Featherwind follows up by remarking that Sneezeslate was the worst of the clan's cats, she quips that everything seems normal here.

Oakfall tries to teach Tanglekit and Riverkit about eating grass, with Wavestripe trying to make a competition out of it- but Riverkit remarks with horror at the taste.

Cloudlight catches Sparrow in a tree near the Stoneclan border (~~again)~~ and tries stop the loner, but the pair stop when they hear yowling and screaming nearby. Setting aside their usual rivalry, the pair seek out the source of the commotion- coming upon a heavily injured Frogpaw and Starlingstep, an apprentice-warrior duo of Stickclan.

Acorn returns to camp in the meantime, dropping a mouse into the fresh-kill pile, but Poppysong catches sight of him and rushes to see her long-lost littermate. The warrior informs him that the clan assumed he was either lost or dead, but Acorn expresses confusion- until he glances around, seeing his fellow apprentices and the kits have all grown. Seeing his concern, Poppysong jokes that he's just 'acorn-sized', and quickly brings him up to speed on everything that has happened to their family since his absence. She decides, in that moment, that none of the past matters now- she's just glad to have the pair united again. Dewfur looks on proudly, remarking that after so much hardship it's good to see something positive happen to the clan, only to get interrupted by the arrival of Cloudlight and Sparrow- both helping the injured Stickclan cats into camp.

Some time later, Maplespots expresses doubts that the cats brought by Cloudlight are actually from Stickclan, as they rarely fight and openly admit weakness, but Barkclaw knows of Starlingstep and insists the pair are indeed from Stickclan. The clan has put them both in temporary dens to keep them isolated from the two remaining cats with Stonecough. The clan's kits gather nearby Frogpaw's temporary den, each remarking on seeing a wounded apprentice- let alone one of another clan, with Sootkit loudly cursing out **fox-dung** at the situation. Wavestripe tells the kits to give the wounded Frogpaw some space, worried; nearby, Houndpaw asks Starlingstep a bunch of questions about Stickclan, mostly about the role of sticks in the clan.

Standing atop a nearby den, Lightpaw gazes down at Starlingstep, his eyes worried and heavy. Appleheart expresses his concern about this unusual change in mood, but Lightpaw insists he'll be fine- he just isn't good at handling any news related to Stickclan, the same clan where his runaway father Tinytail resides.

The next morning, the kittypet Dusty stops by camp, bringing with him a bowl of kibble. Skywing panics, thinking he's there to tempt him with the food, but Dusty just watches the meltdown in complete confusion.
