Ivypaw was sitting in the middle of her mentor's den sorting some herbs that she had brought back. "Marigold goes over here, Tansy goes over here, feverfew goes here, and catmint goes here," she meowed softly to herself. Her ears twitched when she heard some coughing coming from the main camp. It wasn't long before Littlestream entered the den after a lot of insistance from Mapleleaf and Dreamheart. "Hello Ivypaw," the small brown she-cat meowed. "Mapleleaf and Dreamheart wanted me to ask you for some herbs for swallowing snowflakes."

Dappledleaf had been sitting back and watching her apprentice sort leaves. She glanced skeptically at Littlestream. "Are you really swallowing snowflakes or are you getting sick?" she asked. Sunpaw was the next one to enter the den and the old medicine cat could tell by his posture that he wasn't feeling well. "When did it get so hot?" the orange apprentice groaned. Curlystar poked his head in the den, but hesitated when he saw all the cats inside already. "I can wait until you're finished here," he rasped. Dappledleaf thought she could hear some hoarseness in his voice.

"I'm fine," Littlestream meowed. "You have been coughing a lot recently," Ivypaw meowed before pushing some tansy forward. She then blinked at Sunpaw and nudged him towards a nest before grabbing some feverfew for him. "Any coughing?" she asked as Littlestream swallowed the tansy she was given.

Sunpaw nodded. "Echopaw and Breezepaw were complaining that I kept them up all night with it," he meowed before licking up the feverfew. Dappledleaf noticed how willingly Sunpaw took the herbs, only grimacing once as he swallowed them. The young apprentice must really be feeling sick to be so agreeable about eating leaves. "Littlestream, listen to your medicine cats now," she meowed with a smile. "You must rest to make sure your little snowflake swallowing problem doesn't get any worse," she meowed. "Curlystar!" she barked suddenly. "Get in here, I know you're still there!" It wasn't long before the big tabby made his way back into the den. "What is it?" the old medicine cat asked. Curlystar looked from Littlestream to Sunpaw and then back to Dappledleaf. "I've been coughing," he admitted. Dappledleaf sighed. "That's what I was afraid of. Ivypaw, please grab some tansy for Curlystar as well," she meowed to her apprentice.

"Well we're going to take care of that," Ivypaw meowed before pushing a little bit of tansy towards her younger brother. She glanced up at Curlystar before grabbing the herbs and dropping them at his paws.

Curlystar sighed and bent down to lick up the herbs. He shuddered and the fur on his shoulders stood up slightly. "Thanks," he mumbled before turning to leave the den.

Ivypaw watched as Curlystar left and then glanced up at her mentor. "This can't be normal can it?" she asked. "This many cats getting sick at the same time." It was right after she asked this that Dewdrop entered the den carrying Duskpaw. "He just collopased into a coughing fit while we were out training," she meowed. "And he feels really warm to."

Dappledleaf shook her head. "Not this early in Leafbare," she meowed. Her eyes widened slightly when Dewdrop brought in Duskpaw. "Set him over there," she meowed, flicking her tail towards an empty nest. She got some feverfew and catmint for the apprentice before taking them to his nest.

Dewdrop nodded and placed Duskpaw in the nest and sighed in relief when the apprentice ate the herbs. "FogClan is lucky to have you two," she meowed before leaving.

Ivypaw had been staring at Dewdrop the whole time she was there. She tilted her head slightly before looking back at Dappledleaf. "Is it just me or did Dewdrop look a little more plump than usual?"

Dappledleaf twitched her ears. "I didn't notice," she meowed, looking at the den entrance as if she could still see the warrior. "Cats will be losing weight right now, not gaining it," she commented. "Why don't you go check on her? Make sure everything's okay."

"Alright," Ivypaw meowed before darting after the warrior. "Dewdrop!" the gray she-cat paused and glanced at the medicine cat apprentice. After a few moments both returned to the medicine den. "We need your opinion," Ivypaw meowed. "She's expecting kits and I told her she should move the nursery but she doesn't think she has to yet."

Dappledleaf eyed Dewdrop thoughtfully. "Ivypaw's right," she meowed. "The sooner you move to the nursery, the better off your kits will be," she meowed.

"But I really don't think," Dewdrop meowed before Ivypaw cut her off. "We're your medicine cats and we know these things. Just think of it as relaxation for the time being."

Tansyleaf made her way into the den with her tail dropping. She blinked when she noticed Dewdrop and started to back out of the den. "I see this is a bad time," she rasped. "I'll just come back latter."

"Tansyleaf, come back here," Dappledleaf meowed. "What do you need?"
