Detailed Plot Summary

 * Ravenpaw dreams that he is running through the forest with Firestar and Graystripe back when they were all apprentices. He wakes as a raindrop falls onto his muzzle and looks up to discover that there is a crack in the roof of his barn and it happens to be raining. Ravenpaw reluctantly wakes and mutters to Barley that he thought he checked the roof before they fell asleep the previous night. Barley invites him over to his nest where it's dry, and Ravenpaw heads over there, feeling a painful sensation in his stomach. Barley notices this and inquires if Ravenpaw is feeling alright. Ravenpaw states that he's fine, and blames the stomach pains on a mouse he ate recently that didn't look okay. Barley notes that the rain won't last much longer and asks Ravenpaw if he wants to go to the forest, since it's been a while from when they walked there. Ravenpaw agrees. The rain stops and the sky clears as Ravenpaw and Barley head out of Barley's Farm. As they walk, Ravenpaw wonders how Firestar and Graystripe are doing, as well as the whole of ThunderClan. He wonders if any of the Clans survived the Great Journey. He also hopes that Graystripe found the Clans after he was captured by Twolegs. Barley says that they should check to see if the tunnel has flooded or not. They cross the Thunderpath which happens to be much broader than Ravenpaw first crossed it.
