Featherpaw wrinkled her nose. Why'd she have to be on the RiverClan team? At least Bumblestar didn't pick ShadowClan for the other team, she thought dryly. Besides, she got to be on the same team as Fernwillow!
The other team got Bumblestar which gave them a big advantage. Well, we have Spiderthroat, I suppose... She looked at him a little dubiously. Still not as strong as Bumblestar, but he would have to do.
I'll just have to fight extra hard to make up for out disadvantage! she thought, eyes darting from cat to cat on the other team. She wanted to fight a warrior and give herself a real chance to improve - she wasn't that far from being a warrior herself, after all.
They padded towards the rest of their team-mates, giving their mentor a friendly bump as they passed. "It's a good thing we're on the same team, or I might've had to beat you up," they mewed playfully, standing up on their hind legs to bat gently at their mentor.
Forestpaw has never ever done battle training so she had no idea what's going to happen, but she lifted her head proudly, ready to do whatever it takes to win! Perhaps she can use moves that haven't been done before, to confuse her opponent.
Sunleap joined his team, Team ThunderClan with one of his daughters, Dogpaw.
Dogpaw joined her team. She was delighted that she and Beetlepaw were on different teams cause that meant that they could fight and she could prove that she was better than Beetlepaw by winning the battle. Not that it would be very difficult since Beetlepaw was so tiny. Sure neither of them had battle training yet but Beetlepaw being so much smaller than her gave her an advantage. Or at least she thought.
Beetlepaw joined her team with Sheeppaw. She wasn't sure if being on a different team then Dogpaw was a good thing or a bad thing because she knew that they would probably end up sparring because Dogpaw wanted to prove that's he was better then her. She would have to figure out a way to use her ridiculously tiny size to her advantage, even if she didn't end up sparring with Dogpaw. When they arrived the mute ten moon old used signs to tell her deaf sister, Sheeppaw what was happening.
Sheeppaw followed Beetlepaw. When they arrived, one of the last cats to arrive because Beetlepaw couldn't easily keep up with the others and Sheeppaw was following her despite the deaf ten moon old being large for her age. When Beetlepaw uses signs to tell Sheeppaw what was going on Sheeppaw waited dfor it to be time for the fighting exercise to begin. (All open)

Reason: I apparently can't spell.
Ghostglow wasn't vain enough to say her fighting skills were up to Thunderclan standards. Somewhere along the way they had just... vanished. She was always better with her words anyways.
The spotted warrior approached her friend with a friendly smile. "Why am I even surprised to see you here my dear friend. You wouldn't let an opportunity to stretch those muscles go now would you?" The molly teased with a small chuckle.
Drizzlenight glanced over as Ghostglow approached, a rare smile crossing his face. "I could say the same about you," he hummed. "I haven't had the chance to do much of anything involving combat in too long. No sparring, no actual fights. I wouldn't miss this for the world."
Soon after, Bumblestar separated them into teams. He was on the ThunderClan team (thank the stars- he hated the idea of having to pretend to be anybody else) while Ghostglow was on the RiverClan team. Eyes glimmering in jest, Drizzlenight made to give Ghostglow a light headbutt on the shoulder.
"Have fun being a stinking fish for a while," he laughed. "Do you want to be battle partners? Been a while since we've sparred at all."
After getting his answer, he went to join the other cats on his team.

Fernwillow grinned, nudging her apprentice right back. "That confident in your skills, Featherpaw? Well you can show me just how much you know next time we train." She looked forward to either proving the apprentice wrong, or being gratified in her ability to teach and Featherpaw's ability to learn. It would mean both of them came very far since they started. But Fernwillow wouldn't deny she was competitive. She was grateful the apprentice was on her team, however. It was nice having a friend with her.
With teams evenly split, Bumblestar looked across the Cove to survey the opposing side. Maybe she'd go for Spiderthroat, that could be fun.
There was only one late straggler. "RiverClan," she called to Ferretpaw, nodding at the opposite side. "Get yourself over."
And off they could go.
Bumblestar broke off from her group, shouting, "NOW!" as she shot forward, targeting Spiderthroat. She twisted around to his side and aimed to slam him against the ground as the fight began.
FINDING BATTLE PARTNERS
Sometimes it can be hard to pair up with someone when things are moving pretty fast in a fight. In some cases, there might be a partner finder thread available like the one I’ve put up so you can look for people there. If not, there’s still a few ways to get your character involved in the action if you’re feeling left out.
Poke through the battle thread for open posts that haven’t yet been claimed. During the last ShC/TC fight at Sunkissed Creek, there were several left untouched from both sides, which meant a lot of cats were really just standing around not doing much and the fight sort of stagnated, which is… really no good when either side is trying to cop a win. A good way to avoid this is making a starter post with your character running into a battle immediately instead of standing and waiting. Even if there’s minimal open posts from the opposing side, you can find some from the Clan your character is in and open up avenues for 2v1’s or 2v2’s. And if you aren’t sure if someone’s still looking or not, you can always message them! Some members might be up for multi-partner fights and it never hurts anything to ask.
I'll be trying to keep an eye on this thread and the partner finder to ensure everyone has someone, but it's entirely possible that I will miss a lot of you, so it's mostly up to you to make sure you're getting involved. HRs can't do all the work, and we really like to see folks diving into things on their own! If it comes close to the end of this event and you haven't managed to find someone, message me and I can help you arrange something.
THIS EVENT WILL CONCLUDE ON JANUARY 27TH AT 11:59PM EASTERN TIME.
beetlewing broke away from the group, paws pounding against the ground and kicking sand? dirt? (where are we /silly) up as they skidded towards fawnsplash, a playful smile on her face as they ran towards the other cat.
