As they enter camp, Spottedstar meows "Since most of the clan isn't up yet, I think I'll give you a tour of MistyClan's camp." Then Ash nods and Spottedstar meows as she leads her to a den in a thicket "This is the Apprentice's den, this is where cats who are learning to become Warriors sleep, that silver tabby she-cat who is currently grooming herself is my apprentice Creekpaw, I'll introduce you later, you can come out with us and watch her train if you'd like." Then she leads her to a den next to the Apprentices that is in a bush "This is the Warriors den, my littermates tell me that it is actually quite warm." Next, Spottedstar leads Ash to a den with an entrance lined with feathers "This is the Elder's den, Warriors that become to old to do any type of duty a warrior does retire to this den." Then she leads Ash to a den in the center of camp lined with moss and bracken and she meows "This is the nursery, the moss and bracken outside the den is so that kits can play without possibly getting hurt." After this, she leads Ash to a den inside of a boulder and perfect places to store herbs inside and she says "This is our Medicine Cat's den, our medicine cat is my sister Dapplespots and she helps any cats who are sick or injured or she also helps queens when they are kitting, when you have your litter, Dapplespots will likely help you out as well, or her apprentice Willowpaw will. You can go inside and check it out a bit, my sister won't bite." Then she gently nudges Ash and the two she-cats go inside and find Dapplespots and Willowpaw busy sorting out herbs and Dapplespots meows kindly as she sees Spottedstar and Ash "Hello Spottedstar, I see you have a new friend with you." And Spottedstar nods and she says "Yes, this is Ash, she is going to join us, my new mate sent her to help us out." Then Dapplespots meows "That's exciting Sis, by the way, after your done with the tour can I talk to you for a moment, I want to check something out." Then Spottedstar meows "Absolutely, you know where to find me (meaning she will be in her den)." Then she says "We better finish this tour up quick." So Dapplespots meows back "Okay, nice to meet you Ash." After they exit the Medicine Den, Spottedstar leads Ash to her den at the base of the High Tree with flowers growing around the entrance and she tells her "This is my den, if you ever need to talk to me and I am not training Creekpaw or seeing him I'll be in here, except for the fact that you will be staying in here with me until you get settled in and the clan gets used to having you around. You may come in if you'd like to." And Ash nods in response and follows Spottedstar inside and Spottedstar says "Over here in this corner is my nest." After this, Spottedstar leads Ash back out and meows kindly as she points to the fresh kill pile with her tail "Over there by the Nursery is the clan's fresh kill pile, each cat in the clan specializes in hunting their own type of prey do there is quite a variety of prey there." Before she says ending the tour of camp "Well that's our camp Ash." To which Ash replies "Let me tell you, Scourge would think this place is a dream come true, there is plenty of more prey here then their is in Twolegplace and I'm sure once he and BloodClan join us he'd tell you that." After this, Spottedstar meows "I'm sure he would." Before she meows "I'll have Creekpaw gather some moss for you so you can make a nest, for now you may relax in camp or do whatever you please." Ash then nods in agreement and decides to get a piece of fresh kill to eat and Spottedstar goes into her den and relaxes in her nest before Dapplespots meows a short while later "Sis, may I come in?" And Spottedstar meows "Sure Dapplespots! Come in! Come in!" At once, Dapplespots comes in and she says "I know about you and Scourge, StarClan sent me a prophecy the day before Featherlight says you must have met him before she and Bluewillow caught you two together, it said The one with a golden spotted pelt will meet the leader of the clan known as Blood with a pelt as black as night and eyes the color of ice, she will see through him in ways others may not wish her and he will finally give her everything she's ever wanted." Then Spottedstar meows realizing StarClan actually approves of her taking Scourge as her mate "StarClan approves, no wonder during my nine lives ceremony cats were giving me lives that were to either not judge a cat or give cats second chances, they predicted this." And Dapplespots meows back as she nods "That is correct, they knew he would be the one for you. Now, I understand you mated with him the other day occurring to what Featherlight has told me." To which Spottedstar nods and she says "Are you mad at me about it like Featherlight seems to be Dapplespots?" However, Dapplespots shakes her head and says "No Sis, if Scourge makes you happy and StarClan approves of your choice then you deserve this, you know it is in no ones power to question StarClan's opinion on matters such as this. I also wouldn't mind having little nieces and nephews running around camp." Then Spottedstar sighs and says "Your right Dapplespots, he does make me happy, I definitely do deserve this, I can finally have my dreams of having my own family come true if I fall pregnant." Dapplespots then meows "Well, you see Spottedstar, I've come to help you find out, all I want you to do is lay down on your side in your nest with your belly towards me and I'll just gently listen with my ears for any tiny heartbeats cause if you are pregnant I should be able to tell now." Then Spottedstar does as as Dapplespots tells her and lays in her nest with her belly facing Dapplespots and Dapplespots listens to Spottedstar's heartbeat and indeed hears six little heartbeats and she meows "Well Sis, your officially a mother to be, you are expecting kits." Then Spottedstar meows excitedly "Really!?" And Dapplespots nods and says "Yes really, seems like StarClan has given you another chance to be a mother like we predicted." To which Spottedstar meows "Oh thank StarClan." And then Dapplespots meows "If you need anything while your pregnant feel free to let me know, you know I am not far away from your den." And Spottedstar nods and then once Dapplespots leaves Ash comes in and notices Spottedstar looks extremely excited and happy and she meows "Well, well Spottedstar, what has you so excited?" To which Spottedstar answers "Ash, I'm expecting Scourge's kits! I knew it!" Ash then meows excitedly for her "That is wonderful Spottedstar! Scourge is going to be so excited and proud! When are you going to tell him?" Spottedstar then says actually unsure about this "That I don't know, I think I'd better give it a chance to sink in first and then tell him." Ash then nods in understanding as she says "That is probably a good idea, I think it would be funny and cute for both of you if you randomly acted excited around him even more then usual and if you keep him in suspense, I think he would find it fun and it would also keep him busy thinking about what is causing your sudden behavior. I think he'd like a little bit of a challenge before you actually reveal the news to him." Spottedstar then nods in agreement as she says "Your right Ash." Before she and Ash exit her den so that Spottedstar can introduce Ash to the clan.
