Nearly as soon as Oliverain had been named, Wolfstar called out. "Wait - there is another ceremony we have, today... another warrior that will receive their name today." His eyes searched the crowd of cats. "Dandelionpaw, please step forward."

Oliverain? She loved it. The warrior's chest swelled with pride, the name would suit her nicely. She was about to turn away to celebrate with her friends when Wolfstar continued speaking. Another ceremony? A few seconds later and he announced it was Dandelion's turn. She quickly turned back towards the crowd, passing her friend as she traded spots with her. This is great, me AND Dandelion are becoming warriors. A soft purr rose from her chest as she sat down by Dawnfeather, eagerly awaiting her friend's new name.

Dandelionpaw started to congratulate Oliverain on her new name, but was cut off by Wolfstar announcing another ceremony was to happen. She gazed up curiously at Wolfstar and immediately had a burst of excitement when her name was called. She bounded past Oliverain and sat at the front of the crowd. She couldn’t wait to get her warrior name! She would be able to spend a lot more time with her friends now! Dandelionpaw could barely contain her excitement as she waited for her ceremony to continue.

Rabbitpaw sat excitedly in the crowd. First Oliverain, and now Dandelionpaw! This would be great! She couldn't wait until she got to join them and Dawnfeather in the warriors den! Flashing a grin at her friends, she awaited to hear what Dandelionpaw's new name would be, so that she would be able to cheer both of their names.

Dawnfeather bounced forwards, headbutting Oliverain with a beaming smile. “Congratulations! It’s a wonderful name! I-“ The young warrior cut herself off abruptly as Wolfstar spoke. “Eeee!” Her friends were becoming warriors! They were so ready, she was so proud. Simmering with excitement, she reclined onto her haunches, watching eagerly, tail twitching rapidly. Oooh, what would her name be? Dandelion…bloom? Petal? Shine?

No matter what her name was, Dawnfeather was overjoyed for her friend, eyes shining with happiness. She nudged Oliverain, just in case the molly hadn’t noticed Dandelionpaw being called forwards. Okay, Oliverain most likely had noticed, but still! She just couldn’t keep her excitement inside of her.

Without wasting time, Wolfstar launched into repeating the traditional words. "I, Wolfstar, call upon our warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Dandelionpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"

Dandelionpaw stared up at Wolfstar,with a huge grin on her face as he called out the words of her ceremony. She was ready to become a warrior just like her friends! "I do!" She meowed in response. Though fighting wasn't her favorite thing, she couldn't bare to see her clanmates be hurt, and she would risk her own safety for the lives of others.

With a squeal, Rabbitpaw raised her voice, excited to cheer for her friends as they become warriors. "Oliverain! Dandelionflight!"
