Twilightpaw went to the apprentice's den, tired from all of her training that morning. They had practiced hunting, and Twilightpaw caught a vole and a mouse! She had dropped them in the pile and practiced her crouch again and again. Now, she was curled up in her soft mossy nest, Lemonpaw softly breathing into her. He had helped her learn, and she felt more feeling growing towards him. Twilightpaw loved him, and he was sure he loved her. They would grow up to be mates one day.

The sun rose over the horizon. Twilightpaw blinked as the bright light shone into the den. Lemonpaw stirred behind her. She padded outside, a cold wind hitting her. She shivered. Leaf-bare was coming soon. She grabbed a scrawny vole and munched on it. She padded out of the den, deciding to collect moss for the elders.

She found plenty of soft moss near a river bank and grabbed it in her jaws. She squeezed the water out of the moss, into the river. She padded back to camp. Cats were talking all over the camp, everyone was awake. She headed to the elder's den.

"Hey, Swampfur! I'm here to replace the bedding!" Twilightpaw mewed. Swampfur nodded and moved to the side. She replaced the bedding of the two elders and left the den. She exited the den, looking for Lemonpaw. She saw a flash of golden fur, but it was just Lionclaw. Finally, she found him, sleeping in the apprentice's den. She nudged him, but he didn't wake.

She nipped his ear, but he didn't wake up. She licked his eyes, no response. She growled in frustration butting his belly with her head. Suddenly, she heard a moan. Lemonpaw was waking up! "Who hit my member..." he grunted. Twilightpaw blushed. "Er, Lemonpaw, sorry, that was me, but uh everyone's awake," she mewed. Lemonpaw shot up, embarrassed.

"Oh! Sorry, I-i was tired." he mewed. His ruffled fur made him look so perfect, and along with his soft eyes, he was so pretty. Twilightpaw broke out of her trance as Lemonpaw raced out of the den. She padded slowly after him. Rustystar was getting on top of the Highrock, getting ready to say something.

"I, Rustystar, leader of MatingClan, call upon my mating ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of the mating code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Dapplepaw, Deeppaw, and Lemonpaw, do you promise to uphold the code even at the cost of your life, and to mate well?" Rustystar mewed.

"I do!" the three apprentices mewed in unison. Lemonpaws eyes shined brightly, he was probably so excited.

"Then by the powers of our ancestors, I name you three warriors of MatingClan: Dappleleaf, Deepstream, and Lemondrop." Rusty star yowled. Cats cheered the new warriors' names. Lemondrop purred in delight.

The cats slowly filtered out, and Twilightpaw padded up to Lemondrop. "Congratulations! I can't believe it!" she purred. Lemondrop smiled and purred, "One day it'll be your turn!" Twilightpaw smiled and went to find Sweetberry. She looked around the clearing, looking for Sweetberry's light rosey fur. She caught a whisp of it, heading towards the medicine den. Her eyes were drooping, and her smile was replaced with a frown. She watched as Sweetberry padded into the den.

Twilightpaw shook the memory off, hoping her mentor was ok. She started to run out of camp, reaching the Maple Tree. It was a special tree, and she ran back to camp, worry taking over her legs. She rushed into the medicine den, where Willowpaw was looking at Sweetberry, worried. She looked up and saw Twilightpaw looking at her.

"Oh, Twilightpaw, Sweetberry... she's sick, with Whitecough! Ashleaf told Rustystar, and Rustystar is going to decide on a new mentor for you while she recovers!" Willowpaw blurted. Twilightpaw rushed to her mentor, sitting close to the sick cat. Sweetberry looked up.

"Don't worry darling, Rustystar will find a good mentor," she mewed. Her head drooped and she went back to sleeping soundly. Willowpaw guided Twilightpaw to Rustystar. Twilightpaw sighed, wondering who her new mentor would be. She hoped he or she would be nice like Sweetberry. They reached Rustystar's den. Rustystar looked at Twilightpaw intensely when she entered. Then his gaze softened a bit.

"Twilightpaw." he mewed. "Your new mentor is Lemondrop. You two would get along, and I know you like Sweetberry a lot." Rustystar gave a flick of his tail, dismissing the 2 cats. Twilightpaw rushed to find Lemondrop, wanting to tell him the good news.

She found him in the clearing, licking himself. He looked up when he saw her. "Hey, Twilightpaw! I heard about Sweetberry. Who's your new mentor?" he mewed. Twilightpaw pressed her pelt against his. "You are." Lemondrop coughed, looking at her. "WHAT! I'm happy about that of course, but why me?" She shrugged.

"Let's go train now!" she purred. Lemondrop smirked and nodded. "Well, let's go train then." he purred. Twilightpaw nodded and followed him to the hunting grounds. Lemondrop and Twilightpaw hunted. They hunted for a bit, and then moved on to battle training, rarely needed, but still there just in case. "I'm impressed!" Lemondrop purred. "The only thing left before you become a warrior is your assessments! I'll tell Rustystar." he purred.

They went camping. When they got there, Lemondrop bent down and whispered, "Tonight. Mating hollow. Be there." Twilightpaw nodded. As the day passed, Twilightpaw waited and waited for the night to come, anxious to know what Lemondrop was planning. The night finally came, and Twilightpaw padded to the Mating hollow. She saw Lemondrop waiting for her there.

He perked up when he saw her. "You came! So, um, I wanted to have a little fun tonight." he purred. Twilightpaw smiled. Lemondrop moved closer to her, putting his paws on her hips. He kissed her, making his way down to her core. He licked and nipped her nipples, and licked her core. Twilightpaw let out loud moans of pleasure. She saw Lemondrop's huge member come out of its sheathe. She put her paws on it and started rubbing. Lemondrop moaned loudly, still licking her core. They broke apart after a minute. Twilightpaw got into a hunting crouch. "Ready babe?" she said seductively. Lemondrop nodded replying "Your such a smut, I love you." Twilightpaw got into a mating crouch, lifting her tail high, just for Lemondrop.

Lemondrop, stuck his member into her core, thrusting vigorously. He kept thrusting and thrusting. "OOoooooo Lemondrop! I'm gonna-" Twilightpaw came all over Lemondrops member. Lemondrop kept thrusting fastly, not letting Twilightpaw stop moaning for a second. "Twilightpaw, im cumming! In or out?" he purred. "Out you idiot! I don't want kits! I'm still an apprentice!" she purred back. Lemondrop got out with a pop, quickly sticking his member in her mouth. He came in her mouth, and Twilightpaw drank it all gleefully. They curled together for a moment until Lemondrop said "We need to hurry to camp and get some sleep. Tomorrow's your assessment after all!" Twilightpaw nodded and kissed him, then they ran back to camp. Twilightpaw crept into her den, no one was there. She curled up, wishing for her sister's soft fur against hers, like when they were kits. She slept soundly and safely, waiting for the sun to rise and her assessment to begin.
