Thanks for reading everyone who did, this one will be short but it's in Littlekit's POV.

Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors, Erin Hunter does.

Littlekit felt the energy surge through her as she watched Ravenstar call the clan to gather around him. They were going to be apprentices! She couldn't wait! She looked quickly behind her to see if her brothers were as excited as her. She frowned when she peered at their faces; they looked distantly bored and weren't really listening to what Ravenstar had to say. What was wrong with them? Did they not want to become apprentices?

She gave herself a shrug and looked over at Wolfkit, preparing to sneer at him in triumph, but she stopped when she realized he was the one doing it. Her insides froze. She wasn't going to be apprentice; Wolfkit and Silverkit were. She should've known considering she and her brothers weren't six moons yet. Embarrassed, she quickly turned away and licked her chest fur unconsciously. She couldn't believe she was such a mouse-brain. Clan leaders would know better.

"What's wrong?" whispered Whitekit, sliding up to her. "You look disappointed. Are you okay?" Littlekit shook her head, ignoring him and his question. She couldn't wait to be an apprentice and explore the area. Why did they have to wait so long? She looked at her brother who was still watching her expectantly with concern in his blue eyes.

Sighing, she told him the truth. "Wolfkit and Silverkit are going to be made apprentices. I just wish it was us!" Whitekit blinked sympathetically, pressing his nose into her shoulder. "Me too," he agreed.

"But it's not fair," she bursted out, not willing to stop. She felt better to say everything that was on her mind. "I hate staying in the nursery when I could be outside camp. I hate not being able to help my clan because I'm still a kit. And I hate the fact that Wolfkit is going to be an apprentice before me! Do you know what that means? He can beat me to being clan leader first!" She clamped her jaws shut with a huff, finished. Not knowing what to do, she glared at the ground.

Whitekit stared at her. "That's a lot of hate for one small kit." He took a small step back when her head snapped up and starting glaring at him. She was not a small kit! She should be made apprentice any moon from now. Hopefully.

Littlekit snorted. "Don't tell me you don't feel that way too!" When Whitekit continued to stare at her, she went on. "Because if you didn't, I wouldn't believe you. How can someone not want a chance to go out into the forest? Or fight for their clan? Fighting Shadowclan, for that matter."

"I never said I didn't!" blustered her brother defensively. "I just never gave it much thought like you obviously did. And honestly, what's with you about being clan leader? I didn't know they whine like kits!"

Littlekit purred, feeling the anger ebb away despite her. Swiping a paw at his shoulder, she rolled her eyes good naturedly. "Mouse-brain. If I was leader, I'll change the warrior code so it'll say that all kits have to whine and complain and their mothers have to deal with it, no excuses!"

Her brother shook his head, staring at her as if she was crazier than a two-headed fox. "You can't change the warrior code, silly. Besides, if you did change it to that, no one will ever let you become leader!"

Littlekit opened her mouth to say something but broke off when she heard Ravenstar's voice ring through camp, calling everyone's attention. "Today, I gather you to witness the ceremony of two fine kits that will become apprentices and have a new duty to the clan. Wolfkit," he called. Wolfkit raised his head calmly and walked over to stand by his father.

"Wolfkit," repeated Ravenstar, a tinge of pride in his voice. "You have reached the age of six moons, and it is your time for you to become an apprentice. From this day on, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Wolfpaw." Wolfkit, now Wolfpaw, nodded his head in gratitude, happiness shown in his yellow eyes. The other apprentices called his name.

Ravenstar continued. "Your mentor will be Adderstrike. I hope he will pass down all he knows to you and make you into a great warrior." He turned to said cat. "Adderstrike," he said and a strong built tom stepped forward. Ravenstar dipped his head politely. "You have proven yourself ready to become a mentor and I hope you pass on all you learned to young Wolfpaw."

"I will do everything I can to make him a respected warrior the clan will be proud of," promised Adderstrike, bending down to touch noses with his new apprentice. Littlekit watched, wishing with all her heart that it was her up there, getting a new mentor. And of course Wolfpaw got one of the best cats in the clan to be his, Ravenstar would see to that. It wasn't fair, she thought again.

"I know you will," said Ravenstar and Littlekit couldn't help but notice there was a edge in his mew. As if it was a warning. She stared, but the black leader already turned toward his other kit that looked like she might faint. "Silverkit!" he called and, with her eyes shining, she dashed to the center of the clearing, her tail quivering with excitement. "I'm ready," she gasped and a ripple of amusement went through the cats around her.

"Yes," meowed Ravenstar. "You too have reached the age of six moons and I believe you are ready to become a apprentice of Thunderclan. From this day on until you reached your warrior name, you will be Silverpaw. Starclan watch over you and guide your paws to the courage and strength of a warrior."

"Silverpaw!" cheered the apprentices, her brother's mew the loudest out of them all. Silverpaw turned around and beamed at him, her eyes positively glowing.

"Sunscar!" beckoned the leader and a golden tom shouldered his way, a scar running from the corner of his eye two the side of his neck. Littlekit couldn't help but stare at it, wondering what he did to have that happen. It looked like it hurt.

"Silverpaw, your mentor will be Sunscar. I hope he will pass down all he knows to you and more." Ravenstar looked at Sunscar. "You have been given a great task to teach this apprentice all you can, and I hope you make her into a fine warrior."

"I will," said Sunscar in his deep mew.

"Silverpaw! Wolfpaw! Silverpaw! Wolfpaw!"

Littlekit sighed.
