A patrol of three cats passed by the two kits. 

"Thank StarClan," Dreamkit thought.

"This is ThunderClan territory," a black tom announced, "I should escort you back to RiverClan if you're not tired, kits."

"We're not kits!" Sweetkit huffed, her eyes blazing with indignation, "We're becoming apprentices today! We want to join ThunderClan."

Dreamkit flinched at Sweetkit's tone. "If we're joining ThunderClan, Sweetkit shouldn't talk to a warrior like that," she thought.

However, the black tom's eyes gleamed with amusement and his whiskers quivered, "Yes, aren't you Bloomflower and Dragonblaze's kits? Dreamkit? Sweetkit?"

"Yes," Sweetkit mewed.

"Follow me," a golden tabby tom with amber eyes ordered, "I'm Lionblaze. I'll lead you to the ThunderClan camp."

Dreamkit and Sweetkit trotted after Lionblaze, who pushed his way into the ThunderClan camp.

Cats were sharing tongues, and a dark ginger she-cat with green eyes and one white paw shouldered her way towards the three warriors and two kits.                                                   

"How did the patrol go?" she asked, "Did you see any trespassing cats? Any trouble?"

"No trouble, Squirrelflight," a white she-cat with green eyes reported.

"Thank you, Whitewing," Squirrelflight mewed.

"We found two kits on our territory, though. They smell of fish-I guessed that they're RiverClan cats, and they were. They're Bloomflower and Dragonblaze's kits, and they want to join ThunderClan."

"So, Flamefire, these kits are Dreamkit and Sweetkit?" Squirrelflight asked.

Flamefire nodded.

"I'll get Bramblestar," Squirrelflight declared. "It's been two moons since he returned to his body. He should start doing his duties by now."

Squirrelflight pushed her way through a clump of bracken and returned later with a dark brown tabby tom following her.

"So these are the two kits who want to join ThunderClan?" the dark brown tabby tom asked.

"Yes, Bramblestar," Squirrelflight dipped her head. "Dreamkit and Sweetkit. They're six moons old."

Bramblestar leapt onto Highledge, and his yowl rang through the camp. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!"

ThunderClan cats shuffled out of their dens.

"Acornkit, Graykit, Dreamkit, and Sweetkit, you have reached your sixth moon, and are ready to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you recieve your warrior names, you will be known as Acornpaw, Graypaw, Dreampaw, and Sweetpaw. Your mentors will be Fernsong, Stormcloud, Sparkpelt, and Baycreek. I hope Fernsong, Stormcloud, Sparkpelt, and Baycreek will pass on all they know to you. Fernsong, Stormcloud, Sparkpelt, and Baycreek, you are ready to take on apprentices. Fernsong, Stormcloud, Sparkpelt, and Baycreek, you have recieved excellent training from Rosepetal, Squirrelflight, Cherryfall, and Mousewhisker, and you have shown yourself to have spirit and loyalty. You will be the mentors of Acornpaw, Graypaw, Dreampaw, and Sweetpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Acornpaw, Graypaw, Dreampaw, and Sweetpaw," Bramblestar announced.

Sparkpelt touched noses with Dreampaw, and Dreampaw raised her head to see Acornpaw and Fernsong touching noses, Graypaw and Stormcloud touching noses, and Baycreek and Sweetpaw touching noses.
