Nightpaw was still waiting for Wrenstripe to tell him that she loved him and it had been two moons. He had told Pinepaw about his thoughts on Wrenstripe and the tom had just laughed at him. Pinepaw had never been the most positive cat. Nightpaw finally figured out that Wrenstripe was not going to tell him so he decided to go tell her how he felt. "Wrenstripe, I love you." He meowed to himself, trying to practice how he should say it. "No, that's not right. Wrenstripe, I know I've already said that I love you and you didn't accept it, but please do. No, she won't think that's good enough. She's just going to hate me forever." He growled aloud.
"No. I won't hate you forever." Wrenstripe meowed quietly from behind him. Nightpaw jumped in surprise and turned around to face her. "You heard me?" He stuttered. Wrenstripe nodded happily and touched noses with him. "I love you and I always will. I never hated you; I just was upset with you. I felt really bad about myself because I wasn't as good as Cherrystep."
Nightpaw flicked his tail over her mouth. "Stop. You're way better than Cherrystep. I love you and she is gone, let's just drop it."
"Okay." Wrenstripe whispered.
"Why were you over here in the first place?" Nightpaw asked.
"Oh, I nearly forgot!" She exclaimed. "Applestar is going to call a clan meeting. You're getting your warrior name!"
Nightpaw licked her nose and they padded over to where the clan was beginning to gather.
"Aah, finally you're here Nightpaw. We were waiting for you two." Applestar meowed loudly, embarrassing the two younger cats. "Nightpaw and Pinepaw, your mentors believe you two are ready to become warriors. Is this true Creamtail and Whitestripe?"
The two cats nodded and Applestar continued. "Then I will give you two your warrior names. Nightpaw, your name is Nightclaw and Pinepaw, your name is Pinetail. Tonight you two need to have your silent vigil and will be welcomed as full warriors tomorrow."
"Nightclaw! Pinetail! Nightclaw! Pinetail!" The cats in the clan yowled. Wrenstripe gazed proudly at Nightclaw and he bounded over to her. They touched noses and began to share tongues.
"It's time to go." Pinetail whispered in Nightclaw's ear. Nightclaw meowed a quick goodbye and followed Pinetail over to the camp entrance. They sat down and listened to everything around them in silence. They were warriors now and they needed to act like it.
