OK! HOPED YOU LIKE DA PROLOGUE! Now going to the real story, well I was bored so...what the hey? The next one'll be allegiances cuz it will be very important since I am adding new characters and stuff but it's only for RiverClan.
"Aquakit!" The little silvery-gray she-cat perked up her ears, "Yes mother?" A pure white queen padded out of the nursery and into the middle of camp where her two kits lay rolling about all messy with mud and water.
"You two are going to be apprentices today, and now you've gotten yourself all dirty! March to the nursery now." Aquakit mumbled somthing inaudible and Goldenkit pranced around and around batting her tailtip.
Snowstorm let out a mrrow of amusement. She started brushing off the clods of dirt and mud off of them when she heard the usual call, "Let all cats old enough to hunt their own prey gather around the Fallen Tree for a Clan meeting!"
Aquakit and Goldenkit tumbled away from their mothers paw and landed right next to the roots of the fallen willow tree. "Aquakit come up here." She raised her head up proudly and high-stepped to her leader.
"Aquakit, before you have become a warrior you will be known as Aquapaw, Darkshadow, you are ready for an apprentice, I expect you to pass down your strength and bravery to this young apprentice."
Aquapaw was so happy she crashed her nose into his with a loud thumping noise. Darkshadow murmured gently, "Careful now..." "Goldenkit, come up here." Goldenkit scrambled upwards with full excitement.
"Goldenkit, before you have become a warrior, you will be known as Goldenpaw, Blackstripe, you are ready for an apprentice, and I expect you to pass down your loyalty and hunting skills to this young apprentice."
Goldenpaw suddenly became shy and timidly touched noses with him. Aquapaw purred with amusement, Darkshadow and Blackstripe were both brothers and only litter of Forestfur, just like with Snowstorm and them.
There were alot of kits becoming apprentices today, and Aquapaw watched all of their ceremonies with intrest. Aquapaw got up from her sitting position since the ceremony was now over. She went to the apprentices den curiously.
Then she mewed with delight to her friends, "Spottedpaw! Rainpaw! Isn't it so cool?" Rainpaw, silver-gray she-cat purred, "Yep! It sure is, too bad...I have to sleep with Creampearl in the medicine cat's den..."
Aquapaw reminded herself that Rainpaw had decided to become a medicine cat apprentice, "But...I bet that place is better then this!" Spottedpaw called out trying to cheer up her friend. Rainpaw nodded teasingly,
"It might be so awesome, you guys'll wanna become a medicine cat too!" Aquapaw giggled and played along, "Ooh...maybe so!" Goldenpaw padded from nowhere and purred, "I'm getting the nest where the sun shines!"
Goldenpaw raced to a nest that collected the sun's glow, "Ha-ha! I got it before you guys." Spottedpaw let out a mrrow of laughter, "Then I'll get the nest with spots!" Rainpaw chuckled staring at her,
"There is no nest with spots." Aquapaw settled down and yawned, "It's so comfortable I could fall asleep right away..." The others agreed and plopped themselves into their own moss nests and started to chat until it was night.

Aquapaw grumpily looked up at the morning sky, Darkshadow was prodding her in the side and muttering to her, "Come, we have to hunt." She stumbled up sleepily and trailed after him blinking once or twice.
Darkshadow stopped right next to a river, "Do you smell that?" Aquapaw sniffed the air and instantly withdrew back, "Eew! It smells..." Her mentor let out a mrrow of amusement, "That 'smell' is ShadowClan."
Aquapaw cocked her head to the side and simply said, "They stink badly." Darkshadow sighed and brought her to a lake, "Let's swim to know more." She obeyed reluctantly and dabbed a forepaw into the water.
Then Aquapaw plunged into the lake, splashing Darkshadow with chilly water. Darkshadow said not a word, just slipped in graciously, "Go there." She paddled forward to land and was about to hop there when he stopped her.
"Smell that? That's ThunderClan, do not go there alright?" Aquapaw mumbled with embarresmant, "Oops...yes Darkshadow." They swam to a place where the lake went thinner, "The left side of the river is WindClan's."
Aquapaw let her jaws hang open to drink up the scent and meowed, "They smell better then ShadowClan." Darkshadow chuckled lightly, "Now that you know about Clan scent, we will learn prey scent."

Aquapaw bounced up and down, "I caught a snake!" Darkshadow poked his head from the back of a fern, "You caught a snake?" She bobbed her head up and down and called out excitedly, "Come see!"
Darkshadow couldn't believe his eyes. A new apprentice had caught a snake...and that big too!" Aquapaw sniffed it, "Is it edible?" He nodded, "Some are, and some aren't but how did you catch the humongous snake?"
Aquapaw shrugged, "It flew over, and I caught it with my paws and killed it." Darkshadow raised an eye brow.(An: if cats do have eye brows!)"It flew? Snakes can't fly..." She grinned widely, "This one did!"
Darkshadow mumbled something, then asked Aquapaw a few questions, "From which direction?" She pointed a paw at the sky, "From there!" "I meant...what side." She pondered a moment, then pointed to WindClan.
Aquapaw followed Darkshadow as he padded to the river that seperated RiverClan from WindClan. There was a handsome flame-colored tom glancing into the distance, "Excuse me..." Her mentor interrupted.
The tom shifted his gaze towards them, as he realized who they were he let out a snarl, "What are you doing here!?" Aquapaw stepped up boldly, "A snake flew from your territory to ours." "Is it WindClan's fault?"
Darkshadow silenced Aquapaw and took over, "That's not what we meant, we were wondering if you would like it back as prey." The flaming ginger tom growled unconvinced, "Are you trying to posion us?" Aquapaw protested,
"We were just trying to help mouse-brain!"
"Fox-dung!"
"Stupid furball!"
"Kit!"
"I am not a kit I am an apprentice!"
"Well so am I and does that matter?"
"Why you...you Dog--"
"Stop it!" Darkshadow yowled out, "You two are acting like kits! When clearly you are both much older then that." Then he looked down at his own apprentice, "Say sorry." She muttered softly but loud enough for him to hear,
"Sorry...Dog-breath." Darkshadow sighed as fighting broke out again, "Dog-breath!? My name is Blazepaw!" "I think you just swallowed too much coal Blazepaw, and don't say a word, we're leaving!"
Aquapaw spun around and marched straight towards camp with a dark mood. Darkshadow rolled his eyes, "You really have to stop getting yourself into trouble, what are you going to tell Sunstar?"
"I'll tell him this: A stupid furball got in our way!" Aquapaw mewed a bit too loud. Darkshadow glanced at his brother who was approaching them, "Blackstripe, how was your apprentice?" They began talking nonstop.
Aquapaw escaped them and with a jubilee shout she bolted back to the apprentices den with her friends and sister watching her curiously. "Are you ok?" Spottedpaw asked. "Never felt better." She panted out in a reply.
