"Grrrr. We're gonna have kitten for dinner Foxnose," hissed Featherbelly.
"Yay!" squeaked Foxnose. "I love kitten!"
"Oh no you're not! We will have fox for dinner," spat Pebblekit. "Wait, Streamkit, where are you going?" Streamkit had wandered off, towards the medicine cat den.
"To visit Leafheart," she replied.
"Aw c'mon. You never play anymore. You always visit Leafheart. All that medicine cat stuff is a bunch of baloney," spat Pebblekit.
"Now, calm down Pebblekit. Do you want to hear a story?" meowed Foxnose.
"Yeah!" replied Pebblekit enthusiastically, forgetting all about Streamkit. Streamkit, meanwhile, was intently listening to Leafheart as she explained what all the herbs do.
"This is borage. It is good for nursing queens and cats with fevers," mewed Leafheart. "So you will use it for Leapnose when she has her kits?" questioned Streamkit?
"You are a smart kit, Streamkit. How would you like to be my apprentice?"
"I would love it!" exclaimed Streamkit.
"Streamkit, Pebblekit, time for dinner," called Frostface, the kit's mother. "There are trout, your favorite."
"Coming," meowed Streamkit and Pebblekit unanimously.
"Good. Now, eat up so I can clean you. It's almost time for your apprenticeship."
"Ooh. I wonder who my mentor will be," meowed Pebblekit.
"Mine will be Leafheart," mentioned Streamkit. "She already said I could. I know all about the herbs and everything. I even know how to take out thorns and patch wounds."
"Will all cats old enough to swim gather here beneath the HighStone for a clan meeting," yowled Silverstar.
"It's time for your apprenticeship and you still look like you were playing in a thorn bush," meowed Frostface.
"Streamkit, will you uphold the warrior code?"
"Yes."
"Then your mentor will be Leafheart, and you will be known as Streampaw."
"Pebblekit, will you uphold the warrior code?"
"I will."
"Your mentor will be Shellface, and you will be known as Pebblepaw until you become a warrior."
"Pebbepaw! Streampaw! Pebblepaw! Streampaw!" the clan chanted.
"Streampaw, c'mon. I need to show you the territory," called Leafheart. "The territory, and where to find the best herbs. We have catmint, from Thunderclan, but that is not the only herb we need. We also need borage, juniper berries, maigold leafs, water mint..," Leafheart rambled on.
"Yeah, let's go!" Streampaw replied enthusiasticly.
Streampaw and Leafheart padded out of camp, Streampaw with her head held high. Whiekit stared after them mourn
