Duskkit, Weaslekit, Jasminekit, and Cinderkit's Apprentice Ceremony

"You have reached the age of six moons," Fishstar went on, "and are now ready to be apprenticed. From this day forth, until you receive your warrior names, you shall be known as Duskpaw, Weaselpaw, Jasminepaw, and Cinderpaw. Duskpaw, your mentor shall be Squirreltuft. Weaselpaw, your mentor shall be Tawnystorm. Jasminepaw, your mentor shall be Sootwhisper. Cinderpaw, your mentor shall be Sparkwillow. I trust that they will teach you all that they know."

The newly named Weaselpaw's excited bouncing was only stopped short by the naming of his mentor. Tawnystorm? As in the best mom and warrior in the entire forest? He instantly whipped around to find the she-cat. His jaw was dropped in an utterly shocked smile. Tongue lolling out of the side of his open mouth, the apprentice bolted over to Tawnystorm. An overjoyed yowl broke from his throat just before he ran into her, "Mom! Mom! Didja hear?! We get to train together!" After almost accidentally knocking the she-cat over, he snuggled up lovingly into her chest.

Before she could be overjoyed at the fact her children were grown up and could take care of themselves, Fishstar spoke.
Weaselpaw? Oh StarClan, please tell me I misheard that...
But her son's overjoyed reaction only confirmed what seemed to be her nightmare. Oh, help me now...
She smirked at his overaffection, licking him on the head at an attempt to calm him down."Oh, I heard all right. No more hyperactivity, OK? This is serious."

He didn't quite understand the "hyperactivity" part of her sentence, but he managed to catch the part about being serious. The tabby apprentice instantly snapped into as much attention as he could manage. Weaselpaw sat almost entirely up straight. One leg stuck out to the side awkwardly as he sat back on his haunches. A somewhat serious expression briefly crossed his face as he looked up to his new mentor with rapid nods of understanding, "Don't you worry! I'm gonna be the best apprentice this forest has ever seen. And then the best warrior. Right after you and dad, of course."

Sparkwillow looked up a little surprised that she was a mentor already, but she was more than willing to try figure this out. Perking up her ears and tail, she approached the newly named apprentice with a friendly gait, sniffing her once before leaning down to touch noses. "I'll teach you everything I know, Cinderpaw."

Cinderpaw were bouncing on her paws as Sparkwillow came up to her. She could barely stay still as she leaned up to touch noses with her mentor. She's an apprentice now!! Looking around at her clanmates she couldn't help but feel sad, if only her parents were here to see this. Trying to push the thoughts of her parents away she purred up at her mentor, her tail straight up in the air and twitching to show her excitement. "What are we going to do first?" Her normal shyness gone at this moment too excited to think barely putting together her words.

Duskpaw bounded up to his new mentor, Squirreltuft, and nuzzled into her fur as if she was his mother. He hardly knew her, but you've got to start somewhere! At least, that's what Duskpaw thought.
