Hi, this is my first Fanfiction story, so I'm Icestar, and I hope you like my story!

Disclaimer: Yes, I own Warriors as much as I like chocolate. (I hate chocolate..)

Blazekit yawned and blinked open his eyes. Wow, there's so much to see today! Blinking sunlight out of his bright amber eyes, he turned to look at his best friends, Icekit, Mistykit, and Ashkit. Icekit was stretching, only having just got out of her mother's nest.

"Oh, hi, Blazekit!" Icekit was grooming herself with steady strokes. The bright white she-cat then shook herself. "Well, what are you waiting for, mouse-brain! Let's go outside!"

Blazekit turned to see his mother, Dewfeather, say, "Go ahead. It's about time!" Her blue eyes twinkled. Blazekit bounded out of the ThunderClan nursery. "Let's go!" Icekit mewed irritably.

Blazekit had to stifle a mew of amusement. Everyone in ThunderClan knew that Icekit was hot-headed, feisty, and had a tongue as sharp as thistles. "Coming!"

Icekit bounded over to a small cave behind the nursery. "This is my thinking den. I like to use it for when I want to be alone." Blazekit was confused. "Why would you want to be alone? You have a great mother, and your father is deputy, and everyone likes you!" Icekit sighed. "You think it's that easy? Everyone keeps on treating me like I'm a gift from StarClan."

Blazekit awkwardly rested his tail on the beautiful snowy she-cat's shoulder. "At least your father isn't dead." He could barely remember Hawkstar. His father had gotten his throat ripped out brutally during an attack from a band of rogues.

Icekit sighed. "I know. But cats can be so demanding sometimes. I'm going to go hunt the squirrels by the camp entrance." Without another word she stalked off.

Blazekit silently followed. He revealed himself soon and Icekit whirled around. "You forgot, feather-brain! Our apprentice ceremonies are today!"

Icekit's expression immediately brightened. "We have to go get ready! Wake up Mistykit and Ashkit. I'll go set up my thinking den so we can talk about who our mentors are going to be!"

Blazekit streaked toward the nursery and halted. He crept silently to Mistykit and Ashkit's nests, then prodded them with his claw. "Get up! Our apprentice ceremonies are today! Mistykit and Ashkit squealed. They all pelted over to Icekit's den.

Icekit was there, preparing nests to sit on. The kits all settled onto the comfy moss. Icekit started the conversation. "I think Dawnstar herself might mentor me. Have you noticed she's always watching me while we're playing, and helped me kick Ashkit's tail?" "Did not!" Ashkit scoffed. Blazekit nodded. There was a high chance of Icekit getting Dawnstar for a mentor. Ashkit started next. "I think I'll get Ravenclaw." Mistykit butted in. "No way! You're probably getting Amberfire! Me, on the other paw, will be getting Echoleaf." Blazekit started next. "I'm probably getting Splashstripe. My brother knows so much, I'm surprised other warriors can keep up with him!"

"Good guesses, although you'll never guess who Dawnstar has picked for you." Dawnstar's mate, Splashstripe stood at the entrance. "It's time for your ceremonies!" The four kits squealed and hurtled toward the Highledge. Behind them was Splashstripe, muttering, "Kits!"

Dawnstar stood high and mighty up on the Highledge. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather underneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" she commanded in a summoning yowl. They all clustered in a group, excitement as plain as daylight on their faces.

Dawnstar continued with the ceremony, a warm smile on her face. "Icekit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Icepaw. Your mentor will be Ivyclaw." Icepaw shot a triumphant glance at her friends. Ivyclaw was a legend. All her apprentices were often some of the best warriors in the Clan. She had trained Dawnstar herself! "I hope Ivyclaw will pass on all she knows on to you." Dawnstar continued with the ancient ritual. "Ivyclaw, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You recieved excellent training from Hawkstar, and you have shown yourself to be selfless and committed, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Icepaw.

Blazekit was called up next. He trembled in excitement as he heard his mentor was to be... Dawnstar herself! Icepaw shot Blazekit, no, Blazepaw an envious glance. Mistypaw received Splashstripe for a mentor, and Ashkit got the deputy, Darkfire. Blazepaw padded toward Dawnstar. "Dawnstar, what are we going to do today?" Dawnstar replied, "We're going to go see the territories!" Blazepaw couldn't help himself. He bounced up and down. I must be the luckiest apprentice ever, to have the Clan leader for my mentor! It got even better. "We're also going with your friends! Icekit, Mistykit and Ashkit's mentors have agreed to come with us!"

Blazepaw, Ashpaw, Mistypaw, and Icepaw chattered excitedly. "Isn't this fun? I hope our mentors always let us train together!" Mistypaw squealed. Blazepaw's tail-tip twitched. The slender blue-gray apprentice was always very excited. It was hard to be upset when Mistypaw was around!

Once they were out of the camp, they were shown to ShadowClan border. Dawnstar was about to explain ShadowClan's tricks when Icepaw mewed, "Ew! What's that smell? It's like a bunch of cats living in a heap of fox dung!" Dawnstar and Ivyclaw purred in amusement. "You know, I had the same reaction when I went out of camp for the first time." Dawnstar mewed. Ivyclaw nodded. "She was so much like you, Icepaw. And you two have an equally sharp tongue!" "It's true. My denmates always joked my name should be Thistletongue!" Dawnstar replied. "Anyway, this is ShadowClan territory. They have strength in the night, when they can use the darkness to their advantage. Their leader is Flamestar, the deputy is Crowclaws, and the medicine cat is Moonflight.

"Right you are, Dawnstar!" A jet-black she-cat emerged from the undergrowth and strutted up to them. "I need to ask Mapleflower for a few leaves of tansy, since I'm running rather low. And I must tell you, young she-cat, ShadowClan has grown quite used to our smell. But of course, ThunderClan's scent doesn't rather appeal to us very well. Icepaw's eyes narrowed. "I have a name, you know. It's Icepaw, not 'young she-cat'." "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" The kind medicine cat purred. "Dawnstar and I were good friends around your age. She didn't nearly have a tongue as sharp as yours, Icepaw."

"Well, Moonflight, let my mate, Splashstripe, escort you to our medicine cat's den." Splashstripe dipped his head to Dawnstar and led Moonflight to the camp, with Mistypaw asking the medicine cat questions about how life is in ShadowClan all the way.

Darkfire led them straight to the WindClan border and rumbled, "This is WindClan. Their leader is Breezestar, and the deputy is Harebreeze. Their medicine cat is Echohill."

After a full tour of the territory, the young cats felt exhausted. The medicine cat apprentice, Bluepelt, had comfortable nests scraped together in the apprentice's den. They settled into their nests, and since it was cold, Mistypaw moved her nest over to his, and Icepaw scooted closer to him and Ashpaw did as well. "Good night, everyone." Blazepaw mewed quietly. He drifted off to sleep without another word.

Was that pretty good for a first story? Please review, and flames will be used to roast marshmallows. Whoever posts the first review will get a picture of Blazepaw! Thanks for taking time out of your day to read my story. -Icestar of AwesomeClan
