So, a lot of really good ideas!

Wolfstorm, I took your idea for the kits' punishment. Thanks!

SpottedShadow and I-really-hope-not: I loved the idea that the clan was the Dark Forest in disguise...but I like the idea of them being RiverClan, too. So I mixed up the two ideas! Here it is!

"Thornkit, wake up!"

Thornkit sat bolt upright. "What!?" he meowed. He'd just been having the strangest dream…but he couldn't quite recall what it had been about.

Silverkit stood over him, smirking. "Our medicine cat's here. He's just identified your girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend, mousebrain!" Thornkit got up and looked over at their medicine cat, Leaflight, who was standing in the doorway. And there was the pretty she-cat.

"Which clan are you from?" Rosepetal asked her.

"RiverClan," the she-cat meowed. "I'm the medicine cat's apprentice."

"RiverClan," Rosepetal said. "Can you thank your clan for me?"

The she-cat looked terribly confused. "What?"

"For rescuing my kits," Rosepetal explained.

The medicine cat apprentice's eyes widened. "What? I didn't—my clan didn't rescue any kits."

"But you did rescue us. You were there," Thornkit insisted.

She looked a little frightened. "Who are you?"

Thornkit glanced at Silverkit. She shrugged.

"Kits, were you making that story up?" Rosepetal asked suspiciously.

"No, of course not!" Thornkit protested.

"We really weren't," said Silverkit softly.

"I'm sorry," the she-kit mumbled, and she padded out of the nursery. Leaflight followed her.

"Is there anything else you can remember about the clan who rescued you?" Rosepetal asked.

"There was this big tom," Silverkit mewed. "He was nice. His fur was gray."

Rosepetal sighed. "That doesn't help much…"

Thornkit flopped back down, sighing too. "This is so boring," he moaned.

"We deserve this," Silverkit reminded him for maybe the fiftieth time.

"UGH." Thornkit put his paws over his head in defeat.

As the young medicine cat apprentice padded away from the camp, she glanced over her shoulder nervously. Those young kits had almost revealed her secret.

She didn't understand. Her new mentor had promised that they wouldn't remember her! But he'd been wrong. That little ginger tom had remembered her, and very clearly.

No one could know her secret. No one.

"Are you all right?" Leaflight, who was escorting her back to her camp, asked. "You look troubled."

"Oh, I'm all right, Leaflight," the apprentice mewed. "I'm just wondering why those kits think they know me…"

See?

I made the medicine cat apprentice be from RiverClan, and the other cats be from the Dark Forest (I know, a medicine cat training in the Dark Forest is just unthinkable!)

It turned out interesting. Thank you guys so much! It never would have happened without you.

For the next chap, should I do some more med-cat apprentice POV? And what should her name be? Should the kits become apprentices (soon, at least)? should the kits return to the Dark Forest for training? Should only one return? Or, should something else happen? I don't know. What do you think? Tell me!
