Hi guys! Sorry about not uploading late;ly. I'm at a friend's house, Quietclaw. Say hi.

Hi people of fanfiction! :)

On with the story!

(half a moon later)

"Dapplepaw! Cherrypaw! Come on, or we could tell Firestar you aren't ready to become warriors!"

"We're coming!" I replied while running to the apprentice den to get Cherrypaw. After all, she wouldn't be to happy with me if I let her sleep in on the day we were supposed to take our last assessment. "Let me get Cherrypaw first."

"Cherrypaw, GET UP!" I practically scream at the cream-colored she-cat with one red paw.

"What happened?! Who's attacking!?" She looks pretty funny, she jumped out of her nest, fur bristling, claws unsheathed, looking around crazily, trying to figure out who's attacking.

"I will if you don't get up! We got our assessment today, remember?" I can't keep the excitement out of my voice. "If we pass, Firestar will make us warriors!" I say while batting her over her head lightly.

"Why didn't you wake me earlier?!"

"I figured you could use the rest." The she cat has recovered from greencough but she can't get to sleep right away, usually.

"So, it's our final assessment!" By then we have reached our mentors, Dovewing is my mentor and Lionblaze is Cherrypaw's. Wolfspirit was made a warrior a moon ago and apparently she's helping with my assessment. Personally, I don't care. She still trains with me saying she could use the practice; honestly, I think she started just to take my mind off Cherrypaw when she was sick.

"Stop bickering, you two. Your fighting like a badger and a fox!" I know Dovewing's not mad though, I can tell she trying to hide her laughter.

"Dapplepaw," I turned my head to look at Lionblaze, "Wolfspirit will be helping Dovewing assess your assessment. Cherrypaw," he says, turning toward Cherrypaw, "Goldenlight will help me with you."

"You two have till sundown to catch as much prey as you can. Meet up in the training hollow then, and we'll help you retrieve your prey."

"Remember, we will be watching you at all times. You may go."

"Hey Cherrypaw, race you out the thorn tunnel!" And I'm running ahead already.

"No fair! You cheated!" I can tell she's not mad, she's laughing while catching up to me. As soon as I got out of the thorn tunnel, I stop and turn around. Causing Cherrypaw to crash into me, sending both of us rolling down the slope.

I get up to hear the sound of pawsteps behind us. "What happened? We leave you alone for a heartbeat and Dovewing says she hears you two crashing through the undergrowth like badgers! Maybe you guys aren't ready to be made warriors." That last part was muttered to himself, but Cherrypaw and I still heard it.

"We'll stop!" we reply at the same time. "I'm sorry, it was my fault." I continue solely. Did…did I just see Lionblaze's eyes twinkle with… amusement? I turn back to Cherrypaw, "I'll hunt at the SkyOak. Where do you want to hunt?"

"I'll hunt at the WindClan border." She replies after a moment of silence. I nod.

"Good luck."

"Thanks. You too." I have already turned towards the SkyOak so I just flick my tail to let her know I heard and head into the undergrowth.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I've caught 6 mice, 2 voles, and a bird. I think this is enough so I bury my bird where the rest of my prey is. *crack* A twig breaks. I call out knowing it's either Dovewing or Wolfspirit. "Dovewing? Wolfspirit?" My voice cracks, I'm starting to wonder if it really is them.

"Come on guys, I know you're there." Suddenly I hear a battle cry and Wolfspirit jumps out of the undergrowth and attacks me. 'It's part of the assessment.' It clicks in my mind suddenly. I hear Cherrypaw shriek in fear and realize that the battle part of her assessment has begun also. 'Well I'm not going to fail! And I won't let Cherrypaw either.'

Dovewing is stalking me while I am pinned down by Wolfspirit, pummeling his belly with my hind legs. I push as hard as I can with my hind legs, sending Wolfspirit flying. I get up and turn around as fast as I can and leap at Dovewing. After her attepting to throw me off, and I digging my claws into the ground to stay put, she says something to me, something like… "Good job Dapplepaw, you passed your assessment."

"Thanks! Can you take some of this back to camp?" I ask, gesturing with my tail towards my freshkill pile. "I want to hunt a little bit more before I head back."

"Sure, just don't be too long." Dovewing replies, taking up some of the freshkill and handing some to Wolfspirit to carry.

"I won't I promise." I turn around and get into my hunter's crouch, so it looks like I'm stalking prey. When I'm sure they are gone, I turn around and start towards the WindlClan border

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

(a few heartbeats later)

Wow, Cherrypaw is fighting ok, but Goldenlight has her pinned down, and Lionblaze is batting her belly, claws sheathed of course. I accidentally step on a twig and it breaks. The snap alerts Cherrypaw but the other two or oblivious to it. She looks over in my direction, when she spots me her face lights up then quickly dims. I nod to let her know I'm here to help. She blinks in response. I quietly make my way around to the opposite end of the mini clearing, so I am facing Lionblaze and Goldenlight's backs. I slowly creep up on them, when I think I'm close enough, I flick my tail to show Cherrypaw I'm ready.

"Ok, ok, I give…" I pounce on Goldenlight and push her off of Cherrypaw, she's slightly confused at where I came from and why. When me and Cherrypaw get tail-to-tail, realization flashes across her face.

"Hey Cherrypaw, how's it going?"

"Good, how about you?"

"Great, I passed my assessment."

"I'm so proud of you!"

"Thanks. Did you think I wouldn't make you pass either?"

"Honestly, I forgot about you until I heard the twig snap. Sorry."

"It's ok. Now let's pass your assessment!" And with that we slowly separate, making our ways to the edge of the clearing. I start to circle the mentor and helper, and Cherrypaw follows suit. I glance over to her, sending a silent message that says, tell me when. She flicks her trail and we pounce on the nearest cat. I pounce on Goldenlight, and Cherrypaw pounces on Lionblaze. After that, I push her to the back of my mind.

"You will not unpass Cherrypaw. She will pass." I hiss at Goldenlight.

"Why did you come to help her?" She asks out of pure curiosity.

"She's my sister and best friend. That's why." I continue to pummel her belly.

"Stop! You pass Cherrypaw." Lionblaze practically shouts. I look over at Lionblaze to see Cherrypaw with her claws digging into his scruff. She bounces off of him at those words.

"Really? Dapplepaw I passed!"

"Congratulations." I get off of Goldenlight and say, "Let's take a walk. We haven't done that in a while. Lionblaze, will you please tell Dovewing that we're going for a walk?"

"Sure."He says with a grin.

"Thanks." And me and Cherrypaw set off toward the border.

So, I hope you guys liked the long chapter. You won't get another chapter today or tomorrow. Ok possibly tomorrow. Quietclaw says good-bye. :3

November 18, 2012.

I'm sorry that it probably says I am updating, but I'm not. I have mild writer's block right now and I need help. I have a poll on my page/account about what should happen in the next chapter. Please poll. The quicker I get an answer, the quicker chapter 5 comes out. I am leaving the polls open for 24 hours. I like bribing people, mwhah.

Dapplepaw- But you're not really bribing them... Are you?

Cherrypaw- Yes she is! Wait, what is the definition of bribing?

Me- I have NO idea! Someone please tell us the definition of bribing. Oops, I just realized, I forgot the Disclaimer! Hmm...

Disclaimer (VERY late. I'm sorry.)- Jayleaf1 does not own Warriors. Just the fate of Cherrypaw and Dapplepaw. Anyone that uses them after the next chapter will have to define bribing and lots of other words I don't know the definitions of. I won't have a dictionary or ready and you can't have one. I will make you sit in a dark room outside the fourth wall until you give me the definitions and how to spell them. Good Luck!
