A/N: I know there are quite a few Tigerstar stories, but PLEASE R&R anyway.

Tigerkit tasted the air and a single scent filled his nostrils. Mouse. Dropping into a hunter's crouch, the kit padded silently to where the furry brown creature sat.

The mouse lifted its head, alarmed. Instinct told it to run, for an imminent threat approached. The mouse scuttled as quickly as possible towards the safety of its den, but Tigerkit was faster.

The kit sank his long claws into the mouse as he pounced, and quickly took its life. Suddenly, two cats jumped toward him from within the underbrush.

"Ravenkit! Icekit! What are you doing here?" Tigerkit asked in surprise.

"We wanted to hunt, too," Icekit meowed. "We found where you buried your prey. Wow! That's your third mouse! I haven't caught anything yet!"

"We'd better get back to camp now," Ravenkit meowed sensibly. "Sunstar is going to make Mousepaw, Specklepaw, and Frostpaw warriors today."

OoOoO

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey please gather beneath High Rock for a Clan meeting."

Tigerkit and his sibling had finally convinced Featherpelt to take her kits to the Clan meeting. She sat on one side of them, and her mate, Stoneheart, sat on the other.

Sunstar began the ceremony. "I, Sunstar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Mousepaw, Frostpaw, Specklepaw, do you promise to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do," the three young cats chorused excitedly.

"Then I give you your warrior names. Mousepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Mousefur. StarClan honors your courage and determination and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Sunsarstar rested his muzzle on Mousefur's head and she licked his shoulder respectfully.

"Specklepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Speckletail. StarClan honors your strength and persistence, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Speckletail repeated the gesture and the leader moved on to Frostpaw.

"Frostpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Frostfur. StarClan honors your bravery and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

As the Clan chanted the names of the new warriors, Tigerkit suddenly remembered something. Sunstar seemed to remember the exact same thing.

"Before you go back to your dens," the leader began. "We have three kits that are ready to be apprenticed."

Tigerkit and his siblings walked towards the High Rock.

"Icekit, until you are given your warrior name, you will be known as Icepaw." The white and grey she-cat nodded excitedly. "Fernclaw, you are ready for another apprentice. You will be Icepaw's mentor."

Icepaw touched noses with the grey she-cat and they moved off. "Ravenkit, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Ravenpaw. Dappletail, you are ready for another apprentice. You will be Ravenpaw's mentor."

The two touched noses and moved away.

"Tigerkit, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Tigerpaw." Tigerpaw nodded enthusiastically. "Your mentor will be…"

A/N: Who do YOU think was Tigerstar's mentor? I'm still open to new ideas. R&R!
