So, this is a rewrite of paw pregnancy, my first fanfic, I'm doing it because I was re-reading it and I realised just how crap my writing was in the beginning, so yeah. The storyline is the same for anyone who's read it before, and yeah, thats about it. I'm also writing the sequel at the moment so yeah.

This is set about 9 moons after the last hope, Hollykit, Rosekit and Firekit are Squirrelflight and Bramblestar's kits. The deputy of Shadowclan is called Darkclaw, and Rowanclaw is just an ordinary warrior, so, please enjoy...

Apprentices

Hollykit, Rosekit and Firekit had waited their whole lives for this moment, all 6 moons! They were finally going to be apprentices. As Bramblestar left his den Squirrelflight gave them all another quick lick before she joined the crowd gathered underneath the highledge.

"Today, three kits are going to become apprentices of Thunderclan, Hollykit, Rosekit, Firekit, please come forward." Bramblestar said. As she walked forward with her siblings Hollykit's heart was beating so hard she thought it would rip her chest, this was it, one of the most important moments of her life, was now!

"Rosekit, from this day forward you will be known as Rosepaw, your mentor will be Hazeltail." Hollykit smiled as she watched her sister nervously touch noses with her mentor.

"Firekit, from this day forward, you will be known as Firepaw, your mentor will be Bumblestripe." Hollykit watched as Firepaw excitedly touched noses with his mentor, acting the exact opposite of Rosepaw.

"Hollykit, from this day forward you will be known as Hollypaw, your mentor will be Birchfall." Hollypaw tentatively took a step forward, her heart thudding in her chest. As she touched noses with her mentor she felt a surge of pride and bravery rush through her body, she would be the best apprentice Thunderclan had ever had.

After the ceremony Hollypaw was left standing with Birchfall, "So, what do you want to do?" He asked kindly.

"Can I, umm, I know! Can we explore the territory, please!?" Hollykit answered.

"Yes, I don't see why not, I won't take you the whole way round today, it's too big, but I'll show you around the Windclan border and what's near there." Birchfall explained.

"Thank you!" Hollypaw squealed, just about managing to stop herself running out of camp and, knowing her, getting lost. Instead she started to follow Birchfall, who, to her, was walking very slowly.

As Hollypaw took her first steps out of camp, she was wowed by the hseer size of everything. The tree's towered over her head, casting cool shadows over the otherwise hot, dusty ground.

She could smell everything so clearly, she could smell the trees, the bushes, the different flowers, everything!

As Birchfall lead her through the territory a disgusting scent started wafting up her nose, at first it was faint, but as they went further it became stronger and stronger, almost inbearable.

"What is that?" She asked, a disgusted expression on her face.

"Windclan." Birchfall answered, his gaze staring at the hills and moorland that was their territory. Hollypaw couldn't understand how anyone could bear to live there, how did they stalk their prey without the cover of trees and bushes, how did they cool down on hot days with no trees to rest under, what did they even eat?

Hollykit saw some cats in the distance, they were incredibly small and wiry.

"That's a border patrol, they'll be coming over here, so we're going to go now, we don't want to get into an argument." Birchfall said.

"Why would we get into an argument?" Hollypaw asked.

Birchfall sighed, "The relationship between Thunderclan and Windclan is tense at the moment, that's all you need to know."

Hollypaw nodded, before starting to follow Birchfall back to camp, she had enjoyed exploring the forest, and she couldn't wait to tell Rosepaw and Firepaw everything.

Later that day, back in camp, Hollypaw watched enviously as a group of cats set off to the gathering, Bramblestar had said that they were too young to go this time, but they could probably go next time.

She went over to Firepaw and Rosepaw, who were sharing tongues.

"So, what did you do today?" She asked.

"We collected moss for the elders and changed their bedding." Rosepaw said.

Hollypaw snorted, how boring, "I got to explore the territory!"She boasted.

"Well," Firepaw said, "We get tto do that tomorrow and it's your turn to do the bedding, and seeing as there's only you, it's going to take you double the amount of time!"

Hollypaw sighed as she heard Rosepaw snigger, that wasn't fair!

Plz review thx :) :P
