The initial nervousness of his first time being up on the great rock was quickly wearing off, these were his clanmates after all, cats that he loved and cared for, there was nothing to be nervous of, and besides, there wasn't really any way to mess up right? He was going good!
Quickly settling back into his usual personality, he seemed to straighten up on the rock with a delighted grin as more cats began to gather beneath the rock until practically the whole clan was there, looking up at him, some of them murmuring about what was to be announced, others remaining silent, but overall there seemed to be a dull excitement hanging in the air, and that was a good sign.
Time to make this announcement..
Not bothering to clear his throat because he knew his voice could travel well, he stood up, peering down at his warriors, his green eyes glimmering with nothing but pride and happiness.

"As you all may have noticed, Lemonstar is absent, and has been for practically an entire moon and Skyclan cannot stand for much longer without a leader. So earlier today, I took the journey to the Whispering Cave with Rabbitfluff and an ancient medicine cat in hopes that Starclan would approve me and allow me to take his place as leader. And needless to say, I have been accepted and granted nine lives and will now take the name of Grousestar."

There was a pause, he desperately wanted to tell these cats that he would really prefer to be called just Grouse, or Grousy, but he knew that it wasn't the time nor place for in-formalities, he was leader now. You.. Had to be formal, right? He wasn't sure, but he was sure that he would get the hang of it. Flicking his ears to clear his thoughts, he would give the crowd a moment to murmur or congratulate him, or simply give them a moment to let the information sink in.

"With me now leader, that means that we need a deputy, right?" There was a purr now in his voice. This was one of the first important decisions he's made as leader, and he hoped that Starclan would approve of my choice.
Grousestar would give a moment of silence, to let the suspension build, his eyes glimmering with amusement before he sighed out to finally announce who it was.

"The new deputy of Skyclan, will be Auroraflame!" Immediately he began to search for the familiar face in the crowd, his grin widening knowing that surely they would be completely ecstatic for being chosen.

Auroraflame had sat down with everyone else, paying careful attention to their new leader. Grousestar will make a wonderful leader, Auroraflame thought. She thought of the recent past, when Lemonstar was still their leader. She hadn't been too well acquainted with the tom but he certainly seemed like a well liked cat. And a good leader for that matter too. She brought herself out of her thoughts as suddenly she heard Grousestar announcing who would serve as SkyClan's deputy. The atmosphere became suspenseful and tense as everycat awaited his choice of deputy. The new deputy of SkyClan, will be Auroraflame!. Auroraflame heard her name being called from her leaders voice and a wide grin immediately grew on her face. She was deputy!. Auroraflame was absolutely estatic and overjoyed. Hearing her clanmates chant her name brought back memories of when she had just become a warrior. She stepped forward, her glossy black pelt making her stand out a bit. "Thank you Grousestar. And everyone else too," Auroraflame started, trying to contain her excitement. "I will not let you down," Auroraflame said. She meant her words. The black furred she cat would always fight fiercely for her clan and let them know that they could rely on her.
