Chapter 13

(A/N: …. idk XD)

Skypaw POV (two moons later):
I'm getting my warrior name today! I'm so excited! I won't let anything ruin this day! Not anything!
Sunpaw ran up to me. "Today's the day." She said, her eyes glittering. I looked at my sister and bounded over to Redpaw. "Today's the day!"

He smiled and nodded.

Bluepaw's tail twitched. She never acted excited anymore now that she knew who her mother and father were, but I knew deep down she was excited.

I bounded up to my best friend and mentor, Graystripe.

"GRAYSTRIPE!" I wailed as I body-slammed him.
"Ow! Skypaw!" He laughed. "I know your excited but contain yourself!"
"I can't Graystripe! I can't! I'm going to be a Warrior today! What do you think my name will be?"
"I don't know Skypaw, the possibilities are endless. Skypelt, Skyfur..."
"Those are boring!"

"Skybird, Skylight."
"Those are better."
"Firestar usually picks good names, don't worry."
"I hope!" I said.

"Grasytripe?"
"Yes?"
I rubbed up against him. "Thanks for being my mentor."
He looked a bit surprised, but then he grinned. "Your welcome, I'm the luckiest cat. I get the craziest cat in the whole clan as my apprentice."
"Ha ha." I said.

We heard Firestar and looked up. He was on top of the Highrock.

It was time!

"It's time Graystripe it's time!"

"I know Skypaw, calm down a little or I'll tell him you need more training."
"You would never."
"I would."
"Lier."
"No."

"Yea."
"Shh! It's starting!"
"Thunderclan, we have some warrior ceremonies we need to complete today. Please be patient, there's quite a few."
"Redpaw step forward."
Oh he was so lucky, he was first!

"I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Redpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." Redpaw answered sincerely.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Redpaw, from this moment you will be known as Redfur. StarClan honors your courage and your loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."
Firestar rested his muzzle on Redfur's head. Redfur did the traditional shoulder lick.

"And now, another warrior shall be made. Sunpaw, please step forward."
Lucky! It was so unfair! I felt my body quiver in excitement.

Graystripe pressed his side to mine. "Shh." He said softly. "Be patient."
"I'll try." I whispered back.

"I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Sunpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." Her voice rang out.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Sunpaw, from this moment you will be known as Sunfire. StarClan honors your honesty and your intelligence, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

Sunfire! What a cool name! Skyfire...Huh. Nice ring to it.

Traditional shoulder resting and licking and yea. All the traditional stuff.

"Bluepaw, step forward please."
No fair! So unfair!

"I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Bluepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." She said calmly. How could she be so calm? I'd be bouncing everywhere! I already am!
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Bluepaw, from this moment you will be known as Blueeyes. StarClan honors your patience and your determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

Head rest, shoulder lick, yea yea.

"And yet another."
"Skypaw, step forward."
I bounded up and smacked right into the Highrock. "OUCH!" I screamed.

Leafpool and Stonepaw rushed forward to make sure I was ok. Graystripe was trying not to smile, Sandstorm looked worried, my brother and sisters were cracking up, and Firestar stared down disapprovingly. I could hear the elders and warriors purring in amusement.

"I'm ok." I jumped out of the medicine cat's ways.

"...Are you ok?" Firestar murmured.

"Yes...stupid rock." I muttered to myself.

Firestar rolled his eyes and continued.

"I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Skypaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"Always and forever!"
Firestar waited.

"Oh! I do!"
More purrs of amusement.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Skypaw, from this moment you will be known as Skyheart. I think that is appropriate, we saw how big your heart was two moons ago. StarClan honors your spirit and your heart, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

"Thank you so much!" I yelped, as he placed his muzzle on my head.

"Of course." He murmured.

I licked him all over, and lastly on the shoulder, then bounded over to Graystripe. "Graystripe I'm a warrior!"

"And I'm proud!" He purred, and licked my head.

"We are not done!"
We all turned in surprise.

"Stonepaw, please step forward."

I saw Stonepaw's face twist up in shock, as he slowly padded up to the Highrock.

Leafpool stepped forward proudly and went in front.

"I, Leafpool, medicine cat of Thunderclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of a medicine cat, and with your help he will serve his Clan for many moons. Stonepaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between Clan and Clan to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?
"I do. In honor of my mother."
Leafpool's eyes shined.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your true name as a medicine cat. Stonepaw, from this moment you will be known as Stonepelt, also in honor of your mother. StarClan honors your kindness and your abilites, and we welcome you as a full medicine cat. You shall still be my aprrentice, but I thought you deserved your Warrior, full medicine cat name.

"Your mother would be very proud." I heard her murmur softly.
"Blueeyes, Stonepelt, Redfur, Sunfire, Skyheart!" Every cat chanted.

I breathed in those chants like I breathed in air.

"Now every one of you will sit vigil tonight. And I believe Stonepelt has to have a trip to the Moonstone."

Today was great!
