[He could have overheard them!]
Nightwind nodded slowly. "That may be best."
Dawnstar leapt into her den. "You, come on. Now." She led him outside. "Watch him," she warned Nightwind. She jumped onto the Cave Peak.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Cave Peek for a Clan meeting!" Dawnstar looked around. "Where are Steelheart & Icestorm?"

Smokestrike walked up to the bottom of the peak and peared uo at Dawnstar. Wondering what her decision was on the subject of the father of the kits. Hopefully we'll have this figured out soon. He thought. Remembering his time at the beach with Dawnstar.

"Where are Steelheart & Icestorm?" Dawnstar repeated. She gently unsheathed & sheathed her claws out of nerves.
"Smokestrike, can you look for them?"

"Of course." Smokestrike said, dipping his headto Dawnstar. He bounded out of the camp and stopped to sniff the air, searching for traces of their scent. There, he thought, as he ran in the direction of their scent trail.

[Bloodshadow, you don't have to if you don't want to...]
Icestorm padded into camp, his tail lashing back & forth with worry. He looked up at his sister.
"What's your idea?"
"You, Nightwind, Joey, Steelheart & I are going to the Star Tree. We're going to ask Featherwhisker herself who the father is!"
Icestorm's jaw fell open.

Smokestrike's ears flicked. "A loner? To the Startree?" he asked surprized, "I trust you've thought this through."

"Sounds good to me. No fighting, no bloodshed, no hasty descisions. The truth.... I like it."

"I agree." Smokestrike added.
Talk to Featherwhisker? Joey thought. I get to see her one last time? A rush of excitement came through him, followed by worry. What if this didn't turn out well? Icestorm would surely try to kill him. At least the others would be there to try and persuade him otherwise.

"All right, we leave at Moonhigh." Dawnstar said, flicking her tail towards the setting sun.
"Smokestrike, you're in charge while we are away. & yes, I have. This seems like the quickest, safest way." Dawnstar meowed. And I want this over quickly as possible. Her eyes rested on the tabby before her for a moment, then she tore herself away.
"Nightwind, make sure everything is ready!" Dawnstar meowed. "This meeting is over."
She leapt off the rock & left the others to talk. Icestorm glanced curiously at Smokestrike, he had seen the tabby warrior follow his sister earlier.
"Did you have anything to do with this?"

"No." Smokestrike said quickly, "But I would like to talk to you about something when you get back. For now, this is more important."

"We have time," Icestorm meowed. "We don't leave until Moonhigh. Talk."

Steelheart kept far enough back as to not be noticed, but close enough to hear.

"Well... um..." Smokestrke began, "I'm in love with Dawnstar. We just came back from the beach together, and when this is all figured out, we are going to start a family." He has about to burst with excitement.
Joey listened in too from far off. Family he thought. He dipped his head and walked off.

"So that's why she doesn't care about Featherwhisker & the kits." Icestorm hissed furiously.
"I'm going to go chew her out. & you stay away from her! I won't have you screwing up my kits' lives." Icestorm unsheathed & resheathed his claws. "You hear me?" He hissed.

Suddenly, Steelheart was between the two cats, fur settling back into place and tail thrashing about furiously. "Both of you.... shut up.... now. This isn't Smokestrike's fault. As for them being your kits," he said, voice suddenly very, very cold as he eyed Icestorm, "well, we'll just see, won't we?" He knew very well that even hinting at the possibilty they could be the loner's kits infuriated Icestorm, but that, at the moment, was exactly what he was trying to do.
