"Cedarkit, from this moment until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Cedarpaw."

That was what echoed in the young she-cat's head since that day a moon ago.

Robinkit was bored. Immensely bored. Untamably bored.

The only kit left in the nursery with her was boring old Ravenkit, who was always sad, like a baby, and the apprentices didn't want to hang out with a kit like her, exept for Cedarpaw, who played with her when she could, but even her best friend was too busy with apprentice duties. Robinkit knew she'd be an apprentice soon. But.. it was hard to wait.

Maybe she could get Ravenkit to play with her. But, knowing him, he'd just whine the whole time. Still, he was better then nothing. Better then sitting here.

"Hey, Ravenkit! Let's go play!" The tabby mewed. The gray tom stirred, mumbling something incoherently. "Mhf... Robinkit? Go away."

Not at all deterred, Robinkit prodded him in the side. "C'mon! Ravenkit, you're boring!" The gray tom sighed, and heaved himself to his paws. "Alright, fine. What're we playing?"

Robinkit thought for a moment, and then, she had the perfect idea. "Hide and seek! I'll go hide, and you try to find me by scent!" Robinkit mewed excitedly. Ravenkit hesitantly covered his eyes with his dark paws. How'd he know to do that? I've never seen him play before..

The little tabby cat pushed the thought away, and scampered awkwardly out of the nursery. I'm getting big for that place, She thought as the brambles scrapped her fur. Robinkit shoved into the nearest den, which happened to be the medicine den, a small alcove shaded by a broken branch.

Inside, a shaggy gray she-cat was tearing at a small pile of leaves. She looked up at the noise of Robinkit entering, and sighed. "Do you have a problem, kit?" Robinkit squeaked nervously. "Uh...I'm just playing hide and seek! Nothing's the matter!"

The medicine cat sighed. "Not in my den. Go find somewhere else."

"B-but this is the best place to hide!"

The gray cat stood up to her full height, which was quite intimidating, especially paired with the small scars dotted all over her pelt.

Suddenly scared, Robinkit dashed from the den, knocking into the branch that made up the den, shaking it slightly. As she made her escape, the tabby she-cat failed to notice the medicine cat flinch ever so slightly.

Robinkit ducked into the next closest den, crashing right into a small nest. She shook the moss from her pelt, and then she noticed something. The moss smelled familiar. Like.. Cedarpaw. She smiled to herself, content that she'd landed in her friend's nest, and not Rockpaw's or something.

It felt like Robinkit had hid there for moons before she heard a rustling at the entrance of the den.

A dark gray tom slid into the den, eyes shut as tight as possible. Ravenkit took a whiff of the den, before opening his eyes. "I found you!" The gray tom giggled, leaping forward and landing on top of Robinkit in the nest. "Ha! Get offa me Ravenkit!" Robinkit replied gleefully.

Ravenkit rolled off of her, and onto his back next to her. "That was.. the most fun I've had in a while. Thanks, Robinkit." Robinkit smiled, and then remembered her question from earlier.

"Uh.. Ravenkit, how did you know to close your eyes? I didn't tell you, and, I've never seen you play it before."

The tom's smile faded. "Oh. Nothing. I just.. used to play it with my sisters when I was a rogue. You kind of remind me of one of them.. her name was Apple.." he trailed off looking down. Robinkit gave him a confused look. "Was? Don't you mean her name is Apple?"

Ravenkit was about to respond, when a yowl sounded from outside. The two kits padded outside of the den, to see a crowd of cats gathered beneath a plump brown cat standing on a fallen tree.

"May all cats of Cloudclan gather for a clan meeting!"

Robinkit shoved into the crowd, gazing up at the leader.

The brown she-cat continued. "Today we are naming two apprentices! Robinkit, step forward!"

And in that moment, all that mattered was Robinkit- er.. paw.

From the back of the crowd, one blind apprentice was cheering the loudest.

Wow I know this one took a while lol.
