Embarrassed, Nettlepaw admits that she would probably make him search for ticks for a moon.
When Mapleshade stumbles out of her nest, Nettlepaw asks why she is so slow, and Mapleshade teases him, asking him what he thought Deerdapple would do to him if he had spoken to her like that. The next morning, Mapleshade is woken up by Nettlepaw, who tells her that Beetail wanted her on the dawn patrol. When she sees the two cats padding away, heads close, she silently tells Reedshine to leave Appledusk alone, as she has her kits to prove that Appledusk is hers. A RiverClan warrior, Reedshine, calls Appledusk away and Mapleshade hides quickly. Appledusk is surprised, yet delighted, and Mapleshade tells him to not see her until she has given birth. Mapleshade reveals that she is expecting Appledusk's kits. Mapleshade asks him why he had to kill Birchface of all cats, because he was the son of Oakstar, ThunderClan's leader. Appledusk replies that patrols had doubled, and he was unable to sneak out of the camp. He warns that them together is too risky, but Mapleshade is happy to see him and asks to know where he was during the past few moons.
Mapleshade is interrupted by Appledusk, the RiverClan warrior. Birchface's apprentice, Flowerpaw, had jumped after him, and both she and Birchface drowned as they tried swimming back to ThunderClan. Mapleshade silently recalls the battle, where a RiverClan warrior, Appledusk, had shoved the ThunderClan warrior Birchface so hard that he fell into the river. As Mapleshade passes RiverClan, they snarl with hostility, reminding Mapleshade of their recent defeat on Sunningrocks. Looking for a shorter overview? Find one here!
