It's late green-leaf which means...

"We're going to be apprenticed!", Tawnykit squealed.

Great, they've been kits for soooo long, Frostkit thought.

"Whaaat?", mewed Gemkit.

"Congratulations", said Frostkit.

Foxkit, Redkit, Tawnykit, and Plaidkit stood proudly on the small perch that Frostkit had made. Snowpelt was washing them. "Foxkit hold your tail high", mewed Snowpelt.

"Alright", Foxkit said. He lifted his tail up.

"Ooh, Dapplestar's coming", Gemkit mewed, excitedly. Heavy footsteps sounded as a dappled she-cat came into the nursery.

"Foxkit, Redkit, Plaidkit, Tawnykit come here", Dapplestar ordered.

Foxkit, Redkit, Plaidkit, and Tawnykit followed Dapplestar as she walked out of the nursery, holding their tails high. "Can we go?", asked Frostkit.

"Fine", Snowpelt mewed. "But stay with me at all times". Gemkit and Frostkit dipped their heads.

"Wow, that is so cool!", Gemkit mewed softly.

"Yeah", Frostkit mewed. She picked her dragging tail off the ground and held it high. Gemkit did too.

"Today we are going to do something very important", Dapplestar said. "These four kits are now ready to be apprenticed". "Foxkit you will be Foxpaw and your mentor will be Brownhawk, Redkit you will be Redpaw and your mentor will be Larkcloud, Plaidkit you will be Plaidpaw and your mentor will be Hollowstep, and Tawnykit you will be Tawnypaw and your mentor will be Ravenwatcher". Brownhawk, Larkcloud, Hollowstep, and Ravenwatcher stepped up to the big rock and dipped their heads.

"Foxpaw,

Redpaw,

Plaidpaw,

Tawnypaw!", Thunderclan cheered.

"Thank you", Dapplestar mewed.
