Shammy had ran home as fast as she could.
"This is going to be awesome! Camping out, breaking the rules, getting warrior names, oh the list is endless!" Shammy thought enthusiastically.
Once she got to her house, she quietly opened and closed the door so no one would know she came back. Shammy didn't want her parent asking why she was leaving the minute she got back! Shammy slowly tiptoed to her room and grabbed a backpack. Then she started shoving important things in it.
"Juice, apples, warrior books, pocket knife, spare clothes, gloves, hat, jacket, sleeping bag," she mentally checked the things off as she put them in her backpack.
Once she got everything packed, she tiptoed back out the house and ran back to the meeting place.
Everyone was already there, but now there were three little kids.
"What are the pipsqueaks doing here?" Shammy asked, giving funny looks to the younger ones.
"Watch it! One of those pipsqueaks is my sister," Leah said, putting her hand on Lil's shoulder.
"Our siblings found out and wanted to join in," Ricky looked at his sister Marissa.
"Tom threatened to tell mom if I didn't let him play!" Cass laughed.
"Okay, now that we got that cleared up, I want everyone to think of their warrior names! Naturally, I'm going to be Pinestar," Valencia announced haughtily.
"What makes you think your going to be leader?" Reed gave a hard look to the self-proclaimed leader.
"I thought of this game," Valencia pointed out.
"I think she'll make a great leader," Ricky smiled at Valencia.
"Thank you," Valencia smiled.
"No prob!" Ricky replied.
Then there was a long period of silence.
"Okay! Has everyone got their warrior names?" the newly named Pinestar asked.
Everyone said yes.
"Good, what are they?" Pinestar questioned.
"Sparrowtail," Shammy said.
"Reedfang," Reed said.
"Nightwhisker," Oliver said.
"Frostclaw," Ricky said.
"Featherheart," Cass said.
"Sandfur," Charles said.
"Brightear," Leah said.
"Manzanitapaw," Lil said.
"Redpaw," Tom said.
"Shrimppaw," Marissa said.
"Awesome! Now who's going to be medicine cat?" Valencia eyes darted from one warrior to another.
"I'll be the medicine cat," Frostclaw said coolly.
"Can I be your apprentice?" Manzanitapaw asked in a candy sweet voice.
"Sure," Frostclaw told her, smiling warmly, his icy eyes seemed to glitter.
"Great, now I want all the apprentices to choose their mentors!" Pinestar told them.
There was a large scramble until all the apprentices got their mentors.
"Now we have to find a camp!" Pinestar yelled.
