Heeeeyyyyy all you warriors fans! This time, real warriors plots, I PROMISE! XD Brought home my class pet for da weekend! Guinea pig! So cute! If you have a guinea pig, give it a little celery leaf. They LOVE that. :D I'm so weird. Anyways, here's the story you've all been waiting for! I present to you:

Day and Night!

Chapter One: Just a Shadow

Sisters.

That is what they were. Or should be. Nightpaw sighed, gazing at her sister. All of the apprentices surrounded her sister, Daypaw. She was recounting the story of her encounter with a fox this morning on a border patrol, her golden pelt gleaming in the mid-day sun. She was making her paws scrape through the air as she imagined the fox fight.

The ThunderClan camp was bursting with life. The prey pile was neatly stocked, and kits played outside the nursery. Squirrelstar, their leader, was sitting on top of Highledge talking with Lionblaze, the clan deputy. Elders lay basking in the sun and warriors were finishing the last of their meals. No one seemed to notice Nightpaw sitting in the shadows of the apprentice den. She frowned, remembering her days in the nursery. She had been born after Daypaw, with an ugly dark grey-brown pelt. Even her mother always looked at Nightpaw with disgust. Daypaw always won the nursery games and even had opened her eyes long before Nightpaw. The other apprentices always ignored her, and Nightpaw decided she was comfortable living in her sister's shadow. She took a long breath, and headed to the prey pile.

As per usual, all of the other apprentices ignored her. Except one. Rainpaw. He stared at her for a moment, his gray pelt ruffled and his blue eyes wide. Then he quickly looked back to Daypaw, looking very nervous. Nightpaw passed through the eager crowd and reached the prey pile. Still wondering about Rainpaw's curious gaze, she selected a small squirrel and settled down behind the crowd of apprentices. Perking her ears to hear her sister, she tucked in.

"Then the fox swiped up at me," her sister was mewing. "I cleverly dodged, and ripped my claws along his side. The fox never saw it coming." Daypaw's blue eyes gleamed.

"And then?" Rockpaw, a skittish apprentice demanded.

Daypaw grinned. "Then I stood on my hind legs and clawed at his muzzle. Afterward my mentor, Ivyrock, told me that she was going to tell Fernstar to give me my final assessment!" All the apprentices started asking questions and Nightpaw sat up, alarmed. A warrior already? Nightpaw wondered. But we've only been apprenticed for three moons! Daypaw hasn't even shed her kit fur! But after she thought the last comment, she noticed her sister's fur was no longer soft. It was shiny, almost like a warrior's. Nightpaw felt a pang of envy. Nightpaw left her half eaten squirrel and walked to her mentor, Gingerfang. Her ginger fur blew in the wind as she stood slowly up from where she had been sitting.

"Hello, Nightpaw," her mentor greeted Nightpaw. "What's bothering you?" Nightpaw started to talk.

"Daypaw is getting tested already! I'm going to be left behind!" She yowled nervously. Gingerfang nodded.

"I heard," she mewed. "You are not ready yet." Nightpaw stared at her mentor in dismay and opened her mouth to protest, but Gingerfang held up her tail to silence her.

"But neither is she. Getting her warrior name before she has learned some of the essential warrior skills will be a grave mistake," Gingerfang narrowed her eyes. "And I will train you to be a better warrior than her. I promise." She rested her tail on Nightpaw's shoulder. Nightpaw nodded to her mentor in thanks, and strode back to the clearing to her sister. Daypaw's chest was puffed out in pride. She waved her tail in greeting, and motioned for Nightpaw to come forward.

"Hi," Daypaw cheerfully meowed. "Guess who's gonna be a warrior!"

"I heard," Nightpaw replied cooly."Congrats on losing your kit fur."

Daypaw purred in response. "You too!"

What? Nightpaw looked at her fur in shock. Her ugly pelt had become glossy black, and was dotted with tiny white spots that looked like stars. Nightpaw glanced back at Daypaw. Daypaw was still staring at Nightpaw with a mix of shock and envy. My sister is jealous of me?! Nightpaw realized. Daypaw shook out her fur.

"Daypaw," Ivryrock called. "It's time!" Daypaw sprinted over to Ivyrock to begin her assessment. Nightpaw looked over to her as she left. The other apprentices wished her good luck as she ran through the thorn barrier. After she left Rainpaw broke off. He walked towards Nightpaw. who looked extremely flustered.

"Congrats on losing your kit fur," he smiled, having lost his so long ago.

"Th-thanks," Nightpaw stammered.

"Would you like to share prey?" he meowed.

"No thank you-"she started, but saw his crestfallen expression. "-I mean sure." He grinned, and grabbed a large thrush. They sat across from each other taking turns nibbling. Nightpaw realized she was purring.

I don't need a warrior title just yet, she decided. I will be fine.

So, what did you think?! Hopefully Nightpaw can catch up to Daypaw. They're as different as...you know. XD Wait until you see the next update! Thanks for reading! I'll try to keep an updating schedule of Saturday and Monday
