Muscles bunched beneath the she-cat's white pelt. She had silver and black streaks running down it, which shone in the moonlight. Her blue eyes searched the clearing, ready to summon the gathering words that her Clan would respond to. A few cats were already in the clearing, and glanced up at her as she stood there. She waited for a moment, letting them finish their prey. She noticed Blackfire and Icewhisper were apart, which seemed odd. She shook her head, and tasted the night air. It was crisp, the effects of Leaf-bare begining to diminish.
------------------------------
Hunched over a vole, Blackfire watched Breezestar silently. It had been two Sunhighs since she had returned. It had also been two Sun-highs since Icewhisper had told him her secret, and how her heart had been broken. The truth was, deep down, Blackfire's heart had been shattered. He did have feelings for the beautiful she-cat, and she had broken the Warrior Code, pursueing a tom from DarkClan. Sighing, he looked down at his half-eaten vole. Pushing it away, he rested his head on his forepaws, waiting for Breezestar to begin. |

Icewhisper glanced over at Blackfire, seeing him push his vole away. She felt a pang of regret. She knew that she had hurt him by seeing Brambleheart, because she also knew that he had feelings for her.
Then she looked up at Breezestar crouching on the HighRock, looking down at her Clan. Icewhisper knew that it was time for Silverkit's apprentice ceremony.
She glanced at Blackfire again, wondering if he would be the energetic silver kit's mentor.

Silverkit raced out of the Nursery Tail held high toward the other cats. She sat down where all the cats could see her. She gave her chest a few more quick licks then looked up to her new Leader Breezestar. She was kneading the ground in anticipation. Her silver coat velvety with every hair in the right place and her light blue eyes sparkling. It was finally time!

Icewhisper watched in amusement as Silverkit came pelting across the clearing from the nursery. The little kit sat where she knew every cat could see her.
Icewhisper saw Blackfire prick his ears and look at the small silver cat, his eyes sparkling with laughter. (That's power-playing Sky!!)

Silverkit looked around to see if Dreamkit came too. She hoped she came. It should be time for her Ceremony soon too. She hardly can wait to train side by side with her. And one day they might even fight side by side.

Dreamkit emerged from the nursery cautiously, blinking in the bright light. She went slowly, unlike her denmate, Silverkit.
Dreamkit padded over to Silverkit and sat down next to her. She noticed Icewhisper looking at them, and felt her fur flush with self-consciousness.

"Greetings Dreamkit I am happy to have you at my side" Silverkit mewed from the corner of her mouth with a side glance at Dreamkit. She couldn't imagine to have any other cat at her side then her Friend Dreamkit.

Dreamkit shot a sideways glance at Silverkit, then swung her paw and cuffed her friend over the ear. "Stop trying to act like you're older than you are, mouse-brain!" she teased. Silverkit had a reputation for trying to do that.

Silverkit stuck her tongue out at Dreamkit quickly enough so no other cat would notice. "Stop I just groomed myself" she mused. Flattening her fur behind the ear again.

Dreamkit rolled her eyes, then turned her head and started smoothing her fur with long, soothing strokes. She could feel eyes watching her, and glaned up to see Icewhisper looking at her again. Dreamkit's ear twitched.
I want Icewhisper to be my mentor! Dreamkit thought.

Silverkit followed Dreamkits glance:"So you would like Icewhisper be your mentor? I'd like Blackfire to be mine. I hope they would let us train together. She mewed hopeful.

"Yeah! Training together would be great! And it's great that Icewhisper and Blackfire are such good friends!" Dreamkit squeaked.

Icewhisper flinched as she heard Dreamkit mew to Silverkit about her and Blackfire's relationship. She glanced at the black tom, but he was staring up at Blizzardstar again.

Blackfire watched as Silverkit and Dreamkit talked among themselves. He sighed, hoping Breezestar would allow him to train the young she-cat. I need something to do. I have to keep my mind focused on the Clan, not my feelings. He sat up, hearing Breezestar hush the cats.
-------------------------------------------
"Tonight is the night that two kits recieve their Warrior mentors! Silverkit, Dreamkit, please step forward. When they had, she continued. "Blackfire, you have proven to be a loyal Warrior. I would like for you to mentor Silverkit. Silverkit, from this moment, until you receive your Warrior name, you will be known as Silverpaw." Blackfire's pelt pricked with joy. He was going to mentor Silverpaw! He jumped up, padding over to the newly-named Apprentice quickly, and bent to touch noses with her. |

Silverkit happily stepped forward almost dripping over her own paws as she touched noses with Blackfire."What is going to happen now? Hunting, Battle training, border patrolled, taking care of the elder...." she mewed very fast but that stopped as she realized that its time for Dreamkit to receive her new name and Silverkit went silent looking at her paws in embarrassment. She had to learn to control that tongue of hers.
