okay, the time setting for this story is totally mucked up, I haven't read enough of Vision of Shadows to include stuff from that. but it is set after Tigerheart's Shadow.
Ashfur/Tumblekit pov
Foxleap continued running crying for his daddy, Dustpelt's head appeared through the doorway.
"yes, sweetie?" he asked his gaze following the running tom, Ivypool lunged forward grabbing him by the neck.
"you, stay still! Jayfeather needs to take a look at you!" she hissed, Foxleap eyed the tom suspiciously, "and you don't have a choice." she added pulling him by the ear towards Jayfeather, Dustpelt followed watching his son, to make sure he didn't escape.
"Hello," said Bramblestar coming out of the medicine den, he was covered in cobwebs, "why are you up so early?" he asked yawning.
"no reason," Dustpelt replied curtly, he was still angry at him for last night. Bramblestar nodded and smiled down at the amazing, beautiful, lovely, wonderful, adored by all, Honeykit.
"hi, there cutie," he said, she smiled at him, and Bramblestars eyes widened and he said in a rather dead voice;
"I must make you happpyyyyyyyyyy, how can I make you happppppyyyyy?" Honeykit smiled evilly.
"I want to become an apprentice!" she said, Bramblestar nodded and turned to the high rock, he leaped up and called out:
"all cats old enough to catch there own prey gather for a clan meeting!" he called in his dead voice. Tumblekit gawped, had Honeykit really made them apprentices? he began belly dancing waving his paws about. Brightheart, sensing this was an apprentice ceremony, did a flying side kick through the warrior den wall to impress Bramblestar and make him think her worthy of the title mentor.
"that was sick!" Cloudtail shouted peering through the hole Brightheart had made.
"thanks, honey!" she said happily, Bramblestar just shook his head.
"you know you're cleaning that up," he said gesturing to the hole, Brightheart nodded sheepishly. Tumblekit flopped down in a bow before Brightheart and began kissing her paws.
"that's just weird!" Icecloud whispered to her brother, Foxleap nodded staring wide-eyed at his kit.
"um, Tumblekit if you stop kissing Brighthearts paws and step forward," Bramblestar said awkwardly. Tumblekit nodded than strutted forward and winked at Littlekit, she just glared at him.
"I Bramblestar the leader of Thunderclan call on my warrior ancestors to blablabla you are now Tumblepaw and you are now Frostpaw and you amazing, beautiful, lovely, wonderful, adored by all, Honeykit is now Honeypaw. I think that's all," he said gesturing to each kit in turn.
"AH, NO, THAT IS NOT ALL SLAVE!" Sootkit shouted from where he stood in plain sight.
"what did you just call me, uh..."
"um, leader, and I am Sootkit," Sootkit said glaring at his paws, adding slave in his mind.
"well, Sootkit you're now Sootpaw," Bramblestar said, Ivypool looked like she was gonna burst with happiness, she was free from the dirty nursery!
"your mentor will be Mousewhisker. and Frostpaw your mentor will be Blossomfall, Honeypaw, Squrrilflight my wonderful mate will be your mentor, and Brightheart your first apprentice, Tumblepaw!" Bramblestar added.
the newly made apprentices rushed to touch noses with there mentors, Brightheart was beginning to regret doing that flying side kick.
Rainflower/Frostpaw pov
Frostpaw strode out of camp after her new mentor. She smirked as she caught sight of as Tumblepaw patching the warrior den wall, his mentor watching, munching on a mouse, and making unhelpful comments.
"Oi! Weakling, snap out of it, we're going battle training." Blossomfall snapped.
"She was top in the dark forest," Mousewisker whispered to her, as they padded through the forest.
"How do you know?" Frostpaw wondered aloud.
"Oh, I was there…"
"I thought Ivypool was top." Sootpaw mewed, critically. Mousewisker looked uncomfortable.
"Er, yeah, only with Hawkfrost." he fibbed quickly.
"Righhttt…" Sootpaw meowed skeptically.
"This way, weaklings," Blossomfall said.
"Um... Hey, I was thinking, maybe, er, I and Sootpaw go on a tour of the territory, instead..." Mousewisker said, cautiously, tilting his head and closing one eye, as though expecting the other mentor to explode.
"then who am I supposed to demonstrate on?" Blossomfall asked coldly. Mousewisker flinched.
"Erm... Yeah, that's actually why..." he trailed off under Blossomfall's glare.
"fine," she said haughtily. "Enjoy hanging out with..." She looked at Sootpaw, pointedly.
"Sootstar, I MEAN Sootpaw." he mewed, clearly annoyed that she had forgotten his name.
"yeah, that," Blossomfall said, and whipped around, heading in the direction of what Frostpaw guessed to be the battle training area.
"Come, weakling." Blossomfall snapped over her shoulder.
"coming," Frostpaw muttered. As the two cats walked, an awkward silence hung over them. Frostpaw could tell Blossomfall was going slow on purpose, probably for Frostpaw. she appreciated the thought, but they were walking at snail pace.
"can we go any faster?" Frostpaw asked.
"sure, weakling," Blossomfall said, instantly shooting off into the distance. Frostpaw was so shocked at the speed of her, she just stared for several heartbeats, before finally taking off after her mentor.
"hurry up, weaklin-" Blossomfall was abruptly cut off as something caught her paw and she flipped forward, doing a triple front flip, and landed on all four paw's, before Frostpaw could even open her mouth.
"wow! that was incredible!" Frostpawexclaimedd, staring at her mentor with awe.
"Hmph. I could have done it better if I had more warning." Blossomfall mewed. the rest of the walk to the training hollow. when they finally reached it, Blossomfall made Frostpaw go through some warmups with her.
"da splits," she said, slipping into the splits effortlessly. Frostpaw nodded and attempted to copy Blossomfall, but it was much harder then it looked.
"come on, weakling, we haven't got all day," Blossomfall said, padding up to Frostpaw and placed her front paw on Frostpaw's shoulder, and pushed down hard.
PFFFTTHHH...
there was an awkward silence.
"that was your bones right?" Blossomfall asked.
"no..." Frostpaw managed to say through her embarrassment, when a horrid smell drifted up both their noses, making them choke and gag.
"okay Fartpaw, lets *gag* begin *choke* battle training."
Yellowfang/Honeypaw pov
Honeypaw smiled to herself, the leader was now her puppet! She threw back her head and cackled madly.
"Shut up we're trying to sleep." Grumbled Frostpaw blocking her ears.
"Sorry!" Honeypaw whispered than continued evilly laughing except quieter, she sat still for a bit, waited for everyone to be asleep, than left the den.
"What are you doing?" Came a deep manly voice from the shadows.
"NOTHING !" She said shrilly as Sootpaw watched from the shadows, "what are you doing?" She asked.
"spying."
"on who?"
"that squirrel."
"that's Freshkill, you moron." Honeypaw hissed shaking her head.
"I know, dead things are easy to spy on." He said eyes fixed on the squirrel lying on the top of the fresh kill pile. Honeykit smiled evilly and grabbed the squirrel.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sootpaw screamed, Honeypaw bit the head off the squirrel.
"SQUIRRELTAIL!" Sootpaw cried Honeypaw stared at her brother.
"you gave a dead Squirrel a name?" she asked completely confused.
"he was my best friend!" he sobbed and ran off. Honeypaw watched him leave then she went off to go back to sleep.
Honeypaw woke in a field filled with weird things, there was a dead Tumblepaw, a Jayfeather talking to a tree and many other clan cats, as she walked through the cats they all bowed. It suddenly started raining mice, Honeypaw looked up to also see flying hedgehogs.
"Welcome Honeypaw, to reality!" said Ivypool padding up to her.
"Uh, no I'm pretty sure this is a dream," Honeypaw muttered looking around.
"Whatever, come dance with me." dream Ivypool said dragging Honeypaw over to a bunch of cats who were singing and doing the drums.

Everyone turned on Honeypaw and started towards her paws extended.
"You will die…"
Honeypaw woke, screaming.
"Ssshh!" all the apprentices said then lay back down.
"That was some squirrel I ate!" Honeypaw muttered.
Goosefeather/Sootpaw pov
Sootpaw curled in his nest, sobbing with grief for Squirreltail.
"Wwhhhyyyyy?" he moaned. "He was just an innocent squirrel..." He glared at Honeypaw. she was sleeping soundly. he stood up and padded towards her. standing beside her, he put one paw on her forehead, and the other on the back of her neck.
"Starclan, curse her,
for eating my squirrel..." here he paused and took a deep breath.
"and give her strange dreams,
that makes her feel ill!" he said and clapped his paws above her head. snickering to himself, he padded out back to his nest. he tried to sleep, but Honeypaw had started muttering in her sleep, and Sootpaw was lonely.
"AAAaaaAAGGggggHHhhh!" Honeypaw shrieked, shooting out of her nest.
"Ssshh!" all the apprentices said then lay back down. Honeypaw muttered something then fell back asleep. but Sootpaw still couldn't sleep. eventually, he stood up and strode out of the den, heading for the warrior den. poking his head inside, he searched for the nest he wanted. finding it, he padded up to her and curled up beside her.
"ARRGGHHH!" Ivypool shrieked, leaping up and clawing him.
"argh, Mummy, it's me, Sootki-Sootpaw!"
"Wha-? Sootpaw? why are you here?" she demanded, sheathing her claws. because I was lonely. he thought.
"I wanted to tell you about my day," Sootpaw said.
"IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!?" she whisper-shrieked. "Go talk to your father." with that she fell back asleep.
"Thanks..." Sootpaw snarked sarcastically. Foxleap was deep in slumber and snoring loud enough to drown out a monster. he padded off to try and get back to sleep.
the next day
Sootpaw leaped out of his nest, he had got no sleep, he was surprised if any cat had, Foxleap had been snoring the whole night. Everyone in the clearing looked tired, Squirrelflight sat at the base of Highstone organizing patrols. Foxleap pranced out of the warrior den smiling.
"hello Thunderclan!" he purred and bounded up to Ivypool who had fallen asleep halfway to the fresh-kill pile. "hi sweetie!" he said noseing her awake.
"YOU!" she screamed and slapped him then flopped to the floor asleep again. Sootpaw realized everyone in the clearing was falling asleep.
"Okay, I have an idea!" Bramblestar said padding over to Highstone, "we are all tired right?" he asked, everyone nodded, "then why don't we make the only none tired cat do all the work!" he said with a sneer glaring at Foxleap, everyone else was too.
"for once, you have come up with a great idea!" Squirrelflight hissed, Foxleap smiled weakly at his clanmates.
