The leader yowled names for cats to go to the gathering. Asurapaw was beside Wolfpelt in the line while Reedpaw and Dogepaw were
beside each other. Every cat in the line had someone beside them except Fuzzyheart. Fuzzyheart's bright smile hid that he was probably
going to be alone for the rest of the gathering. Rufflepaw felt a pain in her heart she wanted to go with him to the gathering but she was
stuck at camp Rufflepaw just sighed and padded into the apprentice's den and curled up in her nest and fell asleep.
Rufflepaw talked to Fuzzyheart and Lionpaw at the fresh kill pile sharing stories, that was when the clan leader, Senpaistar called a
clan meeting.
"I, Senpaistar, 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 return."
"Dogepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." Said Dogepaw a hint of seriousness in his voice.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Dogepaw, from this moment you will be known as Dogeclaw. StarClan honors your quick thinking, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."
Senpaistar rested his muzzle on Dogeclaw's head and Dogeclaw licked his shoulder.
"Dogeclaw! Dogeclaw! Dogeclaw!" The Clan cheered.
The following two moons later... Rufflepaw yawned and stretched and stretched. She saw Dogeclaw pad up to Wolfpelt and ask her
"Can I talk you alone?" Sure mewed Wolfpelt. Rufflepaw caught Asuratrail glaring at Dogepelt and Reedwhisker smirked. The two had
became warriors a moon ago. Rufflepaw got curious of what Dogepelt wanted to say and slipped out of camp following the two. Once the
brown cats were out of sight Wolfpelt let out a hiss, "What do you want Dogeclaw?!" "Well...I've been meaning to ask you this for awhile
now..." Dogeclaw's voice was shaky. "Go on," Mewed Wolfpelt. "Well...WILL YOU BE MY MATE!" Dogepelt declared. Rufflepaw watched in
awe, "He finally made a move." Whispered a voice which made her flinch but she relaxed once she saw it was just Reedwhisker. Wolfpelt
let out a snort, "I'm sorry but Asuratrail is already my mate." Dogeclaw stared at her in pure shock and Wolfpelt padded back to camp.
Dogepelt's claws dug into the earth, "B-brother why..." The cute sparkle in his eyes when he always looked at Wolfpelt was gone, now all
that was left was rage. "We should head back to camp," Reedwhisker suggested. Rufflepaw quickly nodded as the two she-cats raced back
to camp.
Rufflepaw awoke to the clan leader yowling this time Rufflepaw knew it was her time. Rufflepaw quickly rose to her paws and groom-
ed herself and made her way to the front of the crowd.
"I, Senpaistar, 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 his return."
"Rufflepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!" Rufflepaw yowled triumphantly.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Rufflepaw, from this moment you will be known as Rufflepelt. StarClan honors your honesty and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan!"
Senpaistar rested his head on Rufflepelt and Rufflepelt licked his shoulder.
"Rufflepelt! Rufflepelt!" The Clan roared.
