Mousepaw has always felt a certain way about Cloudpaw, like he liked her more than anyone. The apprentice eventually played along, and began hanging out with Cloudpaw more. Meanwhile, Barktail, a rogue, is being ostracized in his group for justifying Clan cats. When RiverClan cats find him and his friend, Fox, on their territory, they tell their leader. When Cloudpaw finds out about the rogues, he is determined to find them. But Mousepaw isn't sure. Soon, her life will be different with a rogue friendship, and maybe her supposed friend, Cloudpaw, isn't that good.
