Chapter 2 may be the longest there is, I don't know, but here is chapter 2! :p


FireStar and TigerStar were now in the living world as kits. They waited until they were old enough to walk, run, fight, eat solids and climb. FireStar's family had named him "Fire", TigerStar's family had named him "Tiger".

"FireStar!" TigerStar called to his friend, who used to be his enemy he had hated.

"What?" FireStar asked.

"We already snuck away, out of our mothers grip. I think we should try to be super obvious right before the dawn patrol gets here, that way they will find us. If we run into trouble, we still remember the old battle training so we're going to be fine." TigerStar replied.

"Ok," FireStar meowed.

"Even if they attack, we know ThunderClan's way of fighting, I'm also aware of knowing how all clans fight," TigerStar mewed.

"Alright, anyhow we should get moving, SilverPelt is fading and we better start acting like kits," FireStar replied.

The two hid in a bush until dawn. They decided to wait around the border, but they were still in a bush. They waited for the ShadowClan patrol to pass by. They came out and waited for the ThunderClan patrol to come, they finally heard pawsteps.

"Act distracted!" FireStar mewed. The two started playing with the river water and some leaves.

"Hey, what are those kits doing over there?" LionBlaze asked.

"Are they even our clan's kits?" SquirrelFlight questioned.

"Let's bring them back to camp!" IvyPool meows.

They snatched each kit by the scruff and padded back to camp. The two nodded slightly at each other.

"BrambleStar! We found two kits near the ShadowClan border." LionBlaze said.

"Do you know whose kits they are? Or which clan they might have come from?" BrambleStar asked

All the patrol cats shook their head, and Tiger and Fire smiled.

"What's your name?" BrambleStar asked the two kittens.

"M-m-my name is Fire," mewed FireStar.

"And m-m-my name is Tiger," mewed TigerStar.

SparkPaw springs up and snarled, "Why do we need them, there are just extra mouths to feed and a rip-off version of TigerStar and FireStar. Plus, they have rouge scent all over them."

SparkPaw pounced but instead of wailing like kits, they rolled out of the way. SparkPaw tried to scratch them, but the two twisted in the air and scratched her pelt. The two enemy's seemed like they fought side by side every day, they dodged her unsheathe claws, replicating each move while moving around her. They nodded and they used a combination of RiverClan, ShadowClan and ThunderClan fighting skills, moving fast like WindClan. SparkPaw snarled leaping again. The three fought for a while and manage to pin SparkPaw on the ground. The rest of the clan were staring at them, shock written over their face.

BrambleStar spoke, understanding in his eyes, clearly remembering the prophecy that had been spoken of a while ago, "I see no excuse to hold their training, from now on you will be known as FirePaw and TigerPaw. You are apprentices to IvyPool and DoveWing, they can share your training. SparkPaw go to LeafPool and get your wounds checked up. You too TigerPaw and FirePaw. FirePaw and TigerPaw can come to the gathering tonight."

SparkPaw whined, "But they're only 5 moons old!"

"But they beat an apprentice, so I'd say it's fair," BrambleStar said.

SparkPaw grumbled and stormed away to the medicine cat den. The two kits bounced toward the medicine cat den.

"What happened to you SparkPaw!?" LeafPool asked.

"These two kits, who are now apprentices happened," she grumbled. LeafPool turned to see TigerPaw and FirePaw standing near the entrance.

"Two new kits, um apprentices I see. But aren't they both 5 moons old?"

"Yes, but BrambleStar made them apprentices." SparkPaw rolled her eyes.

"Hmmm, alright. They're pretty skilled fighters to get you this many wounds honestly." LeafPool meowed. She treated SparkPaw's wounds and sent her out, she started to check the two when JayFeather poked his head in, mouth full of herbs. He set them down then asked, "LeafPool, who's five moon old kits are they that I don't know of?"

"This is TigerPaw and FirePaw, they were found outside near the river. They fought SparkPaw earlier too," LeafPool explains while examining them for any scratches, "I don't believe it, you two apprentices are scratch-less. Well, you're free to go!"

JayFeather and LeafPool, both nodded then said, "We know your TigerStar and FireStar, so do your best and help the clans."

The apprentices nodded and then bounded away, trying their best to recreate apprentice energy. They trotted toward IvyPool and DoveWing, who both touched noses with them.

"Should we show them the territory?" DoveWing asked.

"We already know the entire territory!" FirePaw replied.

"Yeah, we've been from here to that island, to those scary cats who call themselves ShadowClan, to those skinny cats that call themselves WindClan, and to those weird fish-eating and swimming cats that call themselves RiverClan," TigerPaw said.

DoveWing and IvyPool snorted in amusement at the two apprentices descriptions. "Well then I guess we can do some battle training, you two seemed pretty good when you fought SparkPaw," IvyPool mewed, "and we can add a bit to the fresh kill pile."

The four walked out of the camp and headed to the training hollow. While walking IvyPool had asked them about the Warrior Code. The two had said every one of the code, every word from the code. They knew they should have kept quiet and acted like they had no idea, but that would be kind of disrespectful for them since they had followed the code for so long, in their previous life of course. TigerStar-uhm I mean paw, really didn't care about the code, but FireStar had insisted that he needed to recite the code by heart and follow it, when they were in StarClan. DoveWing and IvyPool were clearly surprised, two rouge kits, first day in ThunderClan, yet they know the warrior code by heart. They arrived at the training hollow, they kept battling and perfecting moves until the sun had started to set. They hunted for some prey as they headed back towards camp.

Once everyone was curled up in their nest, TigerPaw and FirePaw snuck out of the apprentices den. They quietly slipped out of camp and went far out enough so no cat could hear them, especially the cats on guard.

"FIREPAW FOR STARCLAN'S SAKE ARE YOU NERVOUS OR WHAT!? YOU MADE UP THIS MASTER PLAN ABOUT ACTING DUMB AND HOW TO NOT GET INTO A FIGHT, AND WHAT HAPPENED?" TigerPaw quietly shouted at FirePaw.

"Uhmmmmmm, yeah I was nervous okay? It's my first time reborn and as a kit." FirePaw mewed anxiously.

"Well that explains it, you have the worst memory ever when your nervous. I remember assessing you guys when you were apprentices and you called the mice squeaky gray things, and you called birds, flying feathers, oh and I could go on and on about what you did wrong," TigerPaw rolled his eyes playfully.

"Well let's go back before they realize we're gone," FirePaw meowed.

The two slipped back into camp just in time as groggy, waking cats padded into the clearing.


I'm so sorry this took so long, just that school started and I've been reading FanFiction's instead of writing them. CONFIRMED TIGERFIRE/FIRETIGER SHIP.
