Stormstar walk out of his stone den and sank his claws into it as he climb up it like a spider. Once he reach the top, he use his hind legs to jump on it and look over his clan. He sat down and look at the queen's den.

Streamheart lick Graykit, she whines at every swipe of her tongue. Cloverkit stands on his tip toes with his tail high in the air, admiring his newly clean fur. Tinykit waited patently for her mother to finish cleaning Graykit. She was talking with her father, Stormstar's deputy, Greenfur.

Mossyclaw, his mate, and another queen, was watching Streamheart being a mother. Stormstar couldn't wait to become a father! Brightfur was grooming herself. Right now, many cats were suspicious of her because she expecting kits, but no one knew who there father was. She doesn't even have a mate! And she wasn't eyeing any tom ether . . . .

Stormstar shook his head and stood up and got ready for the ceremony. Streamheart had finish grooming Graykit, she look upset that her fur was now clean. "All cats old enough to catch there own prey, come beneath high rock for a clan meeting!" He call out.

The three kits all scrambled to the front of the meeting. Streamheart follow and sits behind them. Greenfur sits next to his mate. Slivereye, Oneeye, Brownrabbit, Rattail, and Wildleaf walk out of the warriors den and find a spot in the clearing. Amberfall, Daisyflower, and Ravenclaw sit at the entrance of the warriors den. Crowtail sits next to his sister Whitetiger at the entrance of the medicine cats den. Branchpaw on the other side of his mentor.

"Today, three kits in the nursery are becoming appretices!" He called to the clearing. The three kits' eyes were fell with excitement and wonder.

 "Cloverkit, step forward" . The black and white kit obey and step forward. He step up with pride. His fluffy tail high in the air. Stormstar saw Graykit roll her eyes. Tinykit jump up and down.

"Do you promise to up hold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?" He ask. Cloverkit nods. "Then from this day forward, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Cloverpaw"

" Cloverpaw! Cloverpaw! Cloverpaw! " The clan chatted. Tinykit being the loudest. Stormstar notice Graykit, she was saying his name, but , quietly. Stormstar was a bit confused, but shook it off and got to Cloverpaw's mentor.

"Slivereye, you are ready for your first apprentice, I hope you pass down your fighting skills and bravery" Stormstar announce. Slivereye look shock, but also pleased. She walk from where she was sitting and torch noses with Cloverpaw. "I will try my best" 

The two cats sat next to each other in the clearing. "Graykit, step forward". She got up and walk in front of high rock shyly. She look behind her and look scare at all the cats behind her.

" Do you promise to up hold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life? " Graykit jerk her head up. "Y-yes" she stutter.

 "Then, from this day forward, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Graypaw!"

 " Graypaw! Graypaw! Graypaw! "

 "Oneeye, you will mentor Graypaw, I hope you will pass down your cougar and strength". Oneeye got up and touch noses with Graypaw. "I will" he meow. The two cats sat somewhere in the clearing.

Graypaw sits on the left side of her new mentor. She couldn't get over the fact that he was so old though. Will he even live long enough to train me?  She thought. "Tinykit, step forward". Graypaw jump at the sound of the leader's voice. 

Tinykit step, actually, Tinykit ran forward. Graypaw wanted to feel happy for her littermates, but, nervous overwhelm her. Even though she had just become a apprentice, she was still nervous. Stop worrying and just be happy! She kept telling herself.

"Tinykit, do you promise to up hold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?" Stormstar twich his ear. Tinykit was blasting with joy. "Of corse!" She stared jumping up and down.

"Then, from this day forward, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known has Tinypaw!"

"Tinypaw! Tinypaw! Tinypaw!" The clan yowled with pride. Graypaw was saying it, just, quitly, that's all. 

"Brownrabbit, you too are ready for your frist apprentice, I hope you will pass down your hurting and stalking skills". Brownrabbit got up from next to her father and Graypaw's mentor Oneeye and torch nose's with Tinypaw. "I will do my best!" The brown she-cat exclamed.

The two she-cats found a spot in the clearing and sat down. "Meeting demiss" Stormstar meow. All the cats dived and  went to difference places. Graypaw saw Cloverpaw run to the medicien cats' den entrace and greet Branchpaw.

Branchpaw waited for Cloverpaw to reach him at the medicien den. "Congratultions!" Branchpaw greeted.

"I'm finally a apprentice!" Cloverpaw meow, his fluffy tail waving in the air.

"I know! I saw the whole thing!" Branchpaw mew.

"I can't wait to start training! I will be the best warrior there ever seen!" Cloverpaw meow. Why do apprentices say that all the time?  Branchpaw wonder.

"Will, when Mossyclaw and Brightfur have there kits, I get to help delever them!" Cloverpaw put on a disgued face.

"Wouldn't that be . . . gross?" Cloverpaw ask. Branchpaw thought about it. 

"I'll find out soon!"
