Sunlight was filtering through the nursery roof when Moonkit awoke. The almost five moon old kit stretched her legs and padded silently towards the nursery entrance. " Where are you going" asked Bluekit, one of her sisters. " Outside." answered Moonkit. Redkit, their brother stood up silently and walked towards Moonkit. "Coming Sunkit?" Sunkit blinked open her wide blue eyes and stretched her golden legs in turn.

Outside, it was an exceptionally beautiful greenleaf day. The sun was shining, the grass was a luxurious green, and the clan was waking. Nightclaw, Blackwind and Patchpaw were coming back from Dawn patrol. "The borders are quiet" announced Patchpaw " Not a sniff of other cats on our side of the border." Spruceclaw purred delightedly " Great!" The delicious smell of fresh-kill was wafting from the camp entrance. Lilyleaf and Roseleaf walked into camp with three pieces of prey each. They deposited it on the pile and went to the stream for a drink. Somehow, Moonkit knew something special would happen that day.

At sunhigh Treestar stiffly climbed FallenTree. "Let all cats gather beneath the FallenTree" he yowled. Once all of the clan gathered he began to speak. "As you all know, tonight's the full moon, and we haven't had much news for some moons." he paused, thinking. "Because of this I've decided to make three new warriors for Smokeclan, all of your mentors agree with my wishes."The three almost warriors stepped forward. " I Treestar, leader of Smokeclan call upon Starclan to look down on these apprentices who have trained hard to understand your noble code and commend you make them warriors in turn." Looking down on his grandchildren, he announced . "Snakepaw, I give you the name Snakestripe, for your courage and integrity. Patchpaw, I give you the name Patchwhisker for your bravery and quick thinking, and finally Mosspaw, I give you the name Mosswillow for your swiftness and compassion." The clan cats welcomed the three fresh warriors by chanting their names, which has been happening for moons before them.

The next morning, Amberbreeze herded the four outside. " Sunkit, go get Yellowflower!" ordered their mother. "Whitefur is having pains." A low moan of pain drifted from the tightly wound ivy den. Sunkit quickly darted to the medicine clearing. The litter had special skills which they were each good always spent her time shadowing Yellowflower, as her dreams were to be Smokeclan's next medicine cat. Redkit was the largest kit of them all and seemed the best at play fighting, but was still kind, Bluekit was a fine prospect of a fantastic hunter, her hunter's crouch perfected, while Moonkit was different, she always knew how cats were feeling emotionally and physically if she allowed it. Nobody in the clan knew this though. Together the four were unstoppable. With Redkit always at the front, they explored every nook and cranny of the Smokeclan camp.

"Hi Roseleaf,Lilyleaf" greeted Bluekit.

"Hello young ones, what is happening in the nursery?" asked Lilyleaf. Hearing moans from within.

" Whitefur is having pains, I guess the kits are coming." answered Moonkit.

Just then Sunkit squeezed out of the nursery and ran to the medicine cat den. A faint mewling sound was coming from the nursery, It must be a kit Moonkit thought. Not long after, two other voices joined the first and Sunkit emerged, "two toms and a she-kit!" she cried jubilantly. The clan joyfully celebrated this with a feast.
