See, Mapleclan is good because it's peaceful. I don't really know what happens to Smokepaw next chapter- oh, wait, never mind. Anyways, here you go!

Silverpaw padded out of camp. The sun shone brightly in her eyes. Perchpaw padded beside her nervously. Silverpaw didn't why he was so nervous, but it was making her nervous too.

"Follow me." Perchpaw meowed and Silverpaw nodded. She followed him over to the small pond just outside of camp. Perchpaw sat down and Silverpaw sat down next to him. He started grooming his chest fur nervously and Silverpaw stared at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Something you want to say there is?" Silverpaw asked him. He hesitated for a second and then nodded.

"Silverpaw," Perchpaw started. "I love you. I always have. I was wondering, do you feel the same?"

Silverpaw stared at him for a moment. She hadn't expected this at all. But she was happy that he felt the same way she did. She didn't know how to explain her feelings with words so she just leaned over and licked his cheek. Perchpaw smiled and licked her back. The two sat there staring at the pond for a few moments, smiling happily. But then Perchpaw's smile faded.

"I don't feel so well." Perchpaw meowed. He stood up and stumbled forward a few steps. Silverpaw nervously rushed over to his side, but backed away when he threw up. Then he collapsed on the ground. Silverpaw stared at him in shock. Then the realization hit her and she raced back to camp.

"Miststripe! Frogstep! Sandpaw!" Silverpaw yowled. The three cats came running over to Silverpaw, looking alarmed.

"What is it?" Miststripe, Perchpaw's mother, asked Silverpaw.

"Collapsed Perchpaw has!" Silverpaw exclaimed. Miststripe's eyes widened. "Me follow!"

Miststripe, Frogstep, and Sandpaw followed Silverpaw to the pond where Perchpaw had collapsed. He was still laying unconcious on the ground where Silverpaw had left him. His fur looked dull.

"How did this happen?" Sandpaw asked Silverpaw as Miststripe and Frogstep rushed over to Perchpaw.

"Sitting by him I was," Silverpaw started. "Then said he sick he felt and collapsed threw-up and-"

Sandpaw took a moment to understand what Silverpaw was saying.

"Did he seem sick before you two left camp?" Sandpaw asked and Silverpaw shook her head. "Strange."

She had been on a hunting patrol with Swiftnose, Birchfur, and Berrypaw. Silverpaw had been so distracted by Perchpaw that she hadn't caught anything during the hunt. Swiftnose thankfully understood and left her off easily. Silverpaw was just about to enter the camp when Swiftnose's tail stopped her.

"Can I talk to you?" She asked and Silverpaw nodded. Berrypaw and Birchfur padded into the camp, carrying their catch while Swiftnose and Silverpaw stayed outside.

"The other mentors and I have been talking." Swiftnose meowed. And we think it's time for you four to take your assessments now!"

Silverpaw should have felt happy, but she didn't. She had always wanted to become a warrior with Hazelpaw and Perchpaw.

"Great that is!" Silverpaw meowed, trying to sound optimistic. But by the look Swiftnose gave her, Silverpaw could tell that Swiftnose didn't believe her. Silverpaw padded into camp and padded over to the medicine den. Sandpaw was sorting through herbs and Frogstep was checking Perchpaw over.

"Hi, Silverpaw." Frogstep meowed without looking at her.

"Hello." Silverpaw meowed. "Is he how?"

"I don't know." Frogstep meowed. "He's been getting worse."

This didn't reassure Silverpaw at all. After she left the medicine den, she padded over to Swiftnose, who was standing with the other mentors and apprentices.

"Are you ready?" Swiftnose asked Silverpaw. She nodded and the eight cats padded out of camp.

"So, remember that you can't work together." Miststripe meowed. Flamepaw had been reapprenticed to Tinyfeather since Cloudfoot died. "And that we will be watching you."

The four apprentices nodded and padded off into the woods. Silverpaw sniffed the air. She scented mouse and saw some ferns moving up ahead. She dropped into the hunter's crouch and crept forward. She pounced on the ferns and heard a small squeak of terror. She killed the mouse with a swift bite to the neck.

Silverpaw caught a squirrel and two moles after her mouse. She heard some leaves rustling and looked at a nearby bush. Swiftnose padded out of the bushes.

"Congratulations." She meowed. "You passed."

"Silverpaw, you will now be known as Silvershine." Eaglestar meowed. "StarClan honors your kindness and bravery and we welcome you as a full warrior of MapleClan."

Silvershine padded happily towards Eaglestar. Eaglestar rested her muzzle on Silvershine's head and Silvershine licked her shoulder respectfully./p

"Stonepaw, you will now be known as Stonesplash." Eaglestar meowed. "StarClan honors your strength and bravery."

Eaglestar and Stonesplash did the same and Stonesplash stepped back.

"Flamepaw, you will now be known as Flameclaw. StarClan honors your bravery and loyalty." Eaglestar meowed. "Berrypaw, you will ow be known as Berryheart. StarClan honors your loyalty and cheerfulness."

"Silvershine! Stonesplash! Flameclaw! Berryheart!" The clan cheered. Silvershine saw Hazelpaw watching them from the medicine den with a proud look on her face for her friend and brother. Silvershine felt a flicker of sadness that Hazelpaw wasn't able to beocome a warrior with them. But at least Hazelpaw didn't have to sit silent vigil tonight.

Well, there you go. Silvershine's a warrior now. Say in the reviews what you think Smokepaw's warrior name will be. Have a good day (or night) and keep writing!
