Thanks Firepelt! 2 more for 2, 3 more for 1
Also, I would like to make a quick question for you to answer along with the voting. Make sure you don't look at anyone else's answers or at my previous posts before answering. Just go with your gut. What is Stormpaw's gender?

It doesn't actually matter, since I don't think I ever referred to them with gender specific pronouns, but I wanted to see. Anyway, 4 for 2 let's go.
You decide to follow Brambleberry's advice. After all, you can't argue with cats who look down over the whole clan while they sleep. You quietly get up, slip out of the den, and pad toward the apprentice den. You look inside, catching glimpses of the three apprentices in the den. Wait, no...two?! You look frantically around the den, but you only see Willowpaw and Oakpaw. Where is Ripplepaw? You check all around camp, in the medicine cats den, the warriors den, the dirtplace, but she isn't in camp. Where could she be? You immediately race out of camp, knowing that after how upset she was, she could be getting herself in big trouble now. She could be over by the cliffs, she could be by the waterfall, she could be in the cave, she could be anywhere! Your mind starts filling with the dangers of every place in the territory, and you start to panic.
What do you do?
1.) Go search by the cliffs 2.) Go search by the waterfall 3.) Go search in the cave 4.) Go back to camp and possibly waste to much time getting help
Sorry for the short length of this one, but I had a choice come really quickly

Looking back now, it turns out it's been a she-cat all along. Look at the second post: "Well...I..." you meow, looking for a way to get out of this conversation. How many cats had heard her? She only murmured it to herself. Grasskit must have really good hearing.
With Grasskit already shown as a tom, the "her" is refering to herself, Stormpaw.
Anyways, vote for 4, because it's unlikely we are super cut short on time, because of the fact we looked inside the medicine cat den immediately after we walked from there over to the apprentice's den. After all, we won't be the best searcher; we spent today running around a ton, we've gotten visted by a Starclan Medicine cat twice, went from kit to warrior apprentice to medicine cat apprentice. Not to mention that we had to be woken up this morning because we couldn't fall to sleep last night. Although a 1-on-1 conversation would be best to settle this down, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we collapse before reaching the place we attempt to look (because I don't recall eating at all today).

Ok, 3 for 4, let's continue. Also, thanks trouble, I corrected that post.
You think about searching for your sister alone, but you might not get there in time, so you race back into camp and into Featherstar's den.
"Featherstar! Ripplepaw is gone!" you meow frantically. Featherstar shoots up in her nest.
"Have you searched the camp yet?" she meows, only a little more calmly than you had. You nod. "Alright then." She sat up and raced into the clearing. "I'll get some of the warriors, you get Leaffeather." she meows briskly. You nod again and run into your den.
"Leaffeather! Ripplepaw is missing! Featherstar is gathering some warriors to help us search for her, but we should be there too." Leaffeather leaped out of her nest.
"Let's go then." You both go back into the clearing to find Featherstar, Thorntail, Dawncloud, your father Stonepelt, the deputy Minnowheart, and some senior warriors, Troutwing, Mothfur, Graystream, and Stormripple. Featherstar steps forward as you and Leaffeather come up to them. "Ripplepaw is missing as you all now know. I would like Troutwing to stay behind and look after the camp, and if Ripplepaw comes back on her own, send some cats to let us know. Leaffeather and Stormripple, go search by the cliffs. Graystream and Stonepelt, go search by the waterfall. Dawncloud and Thorntail, go search by the cave. Mothfur and Minnowheart, go search in the flatland, and Stormpaw, you and I will go search by the upstream part of the river. Troutwing, make sure you send cats to each of those places if Ripplepaw comes back, and I don't want any warrior out alone. Stay with your pair. Now let's go." At that moment, all the cats paired up and ran out of camp, including you and Featherstar. After a few minutes of running, you reach the upstream area of the river and begin searching. You and Featherstar pad around, searching every nick and crany and all the while yowling the, "Ripplepaw!" After what seems like an eternity, Beechtail and Flowerfur run up to you.
"Dawncloud and Thorntail found Ripplepaw! She was in one of the very back tunnels in the cave! She's back at camp now, and Dawncloud is talking to her, but she thinks she should see you too Stormpaw." you nod in relief.
"Of course I'll see her. Let's just get back." You, Featherstar, Beechtail, and Flowerfur run back to camp quickly. As you appoach, Troutwing steps towards you.
"Good, you're back." he meows. "Beechtail, Flowerfur, could you go find Graystream and Stonepelt next? They should be near the waterfall." The two warriors nod and run off again. Troutwing jerks his head. "Come on, Ripplepaw is in the medicine cat den. Leaffeather and Stormripple already came back and Leaffeather is with her." Featherstar nods and tells you to go before padding to the center of the clearing and speaking with Troutwing and Stormripple. You pad into the medicine cat den and find Leaffeather trying to feed Ripplepaw a poppy seed. Ripplepaw finally eats it. Leaffeather steps back as you come in and sit beside your sister.
"What do you want?" she growls at you. You draw back in shock, but still manage to answer.
"I was really worried about you. I looked for you and you weren't in your den." you meow.
"So instead of looking for me, you sent other warriors to do it for you?" she meows angrily.
"Of course not! But I was afraid you were in real danger and I wouldn't get to you in time." you meow worriedly. Ripplepaw growls again.
"Here's a question it seems no one asked you yet. Why did you look for me? Everyone else was asleep. I made sure of that." she murmured to herself. You wonder what you should do. Should you tell her about Brambleberry waking you up? In the current situation, and what she is upset about, that might not be a good idea. On the other hand, it might be really hard to explain why you at that moment got up and went to look for her.
What do you do?
1.) Tell Ripplepaw why you got up 2.) Don't tell Ripplepaw but tell Leaffeather once you are alone with her 3.) Don't tell anyone why you got up and instead make up an excuse

Why is this a decision we have to make exactly? We already made up an excuse by saying "I was really worried about you. I looked for you and you weren't in your den." So not only is it inevitable that we'd come up with an excuse, but we've already started one.
I'll vote 3, because I don't see much need to tell Leaffeather that we got two visits from the same Starclan Cat. Note: I am basing my decision off of us going ahead and telling Leaffeather about this, not that we'd reject the idea if Leaffeather ends up questioning us.

Because no one would look at that time of night/morning, and Ripplepaw had another reason to question us, you are right to question this post. Why we have the decision though? Because seeing Starclan while you are awake is a power that you have because of the omen that made her lose her title as a medicine cat.
Anyway, 2 more for 3, 3 for the others before we continue

Ok then, these are going faster than I thought they would
You think for a moment, but decide telling your sister the truth really wouldn't help this time.
"I...I couldn't sleep the whole night. When you walked off to your den, you looked really upset, and Leaffeather told me to let you cool down for a while. After a lot of tossing and turning though, I still hadn't fallen asleep, and I decided to go find you. Then, I looked in the apprentice den, you weren't there, and I just panicked." Ripplepaw glares at you, but turns away.
"Fine. But why did I need a poppy seed? I was just going for a walk." she growls. Leaffeather steps back up.
"It's for shock. I'm a medicine cat. I know you need it. And Dawncloud and Thorntail said they found you at the very back of the cave. You were obviously, and still are in fact, upset." she meows firmly. Ripplepaw stood up angrily.
"Fine, but can I go back to the apprentice den now? I need to be ready for Thorntail by sunhigh." Leaffeather sighed.
"Yes, but Dawncloud is sleeping with you until then. We don't want you running off again." Ripplepaw growled, but nodded as she went back to her den with her mother behind her. Leaffeather turns to you.
"Now you have a had a long night. I want you to eat something and get some sleep. I noticed you didn't eat anything last night. We'll start training at sunhigh but we'll take it easy tomorow. I don't want you to wear yourself out." she meows warmly. You nod and thank her before getting a leftover carp from the fresh-kill pile and bringing it back to your den to eat. Then, you finally get to sit in your nest and sleep, with no Starclan medicine cats or upset sisters to keep you from it. All to soon though, it is over and you feel Leaffeather gently nudging you out of your nest to start your training.
"Ok, today we're just going to start with 5 herbs and their basic applications. We'll go over them now, then go collect some herbs close to the camp, and when we get back I'll see if you remembered them. Sound good?"
"Sure." you meow enthusiastically, your tiredness vanishing. Leaffeather laughs and turn to the herbs.
"We use moss and cobwebs for a variety of problems, the moss to soak up large amounts of blood and stop it or to soak water if the cat can't move from their nest, and the cobwebs to hold a poultice to a wound and soak up smaller amounts of blood. Now to the five herbs you need to learn for today." She turns to five piles she seems to have set aside for this purpose.
"These are blackberry leaves. We chew them into a pulp and apply them to bee stings to ease the swelling." you nod, noticing the dull green color and brown edges of the leaves.
"This is burnet. It helps to keep a cat's strength up." You notice the lime green shade and the way the leaves are made of lots of little leaves, all on one stem. You nod for her to continue.
"This is catmint. It's the strongest cure for greencough, but it can usually only be found in twoleg gardens so it is very precious to us." You notice the darker dull green and fuzzy look to the leaves, as well as the succulent smell.
"This is dock. We use it to soothe scratches or sore pads, but it can sting when it is applied so warn cats if you use it." You nod, taking in her words as you notice the abnormally large size of the leaves and the lime green color, as well as the much lighter, almost yellow, vein going up the center of each leaf.
"And this is feverfew. We use it to lower a cat's temperature if they have a fever, but it is also good for chills or aches, especially headaches." You notice the flowers, which look almost like smaller daisys with their bright white petals and bright yellow centers.
"I think I have it." you meow.
"Alright then. Let's go collect some moss and cobwebs from around the camp then. We could always use more of that." she meows brightly. You follow her. "Where do you want to look first?" she meows warmly.
Where do you look?
1.) Look to the left of the camp 2.) Look to the right of the camp 3.) Look strait out of camp
Start memorizing everyone! There will be a pop quiz once we get to the next page so you can't look back so easily!

We shall search "In the Shadows to the left."
Also: "We'll start training at sunhigh but we'll take it easy today." - I am 90% sure that Warriors count days by dawns, not moonhighs; hence the reason for yesterday being called "Last sunrise."
