Leopardstar stauntered up Gust rock and gazed at the waking camp. A massive gust of wind buffeted the camp making her fur all huhe skwif. Scwinting into the wind she yowled "would all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under Gust rock for a clan meeting!!"
She sighed as she waited for the cats to arrive and licked a paw tenderly

Blackrose slid out of her den, motioning for Thistlekit to follow. The kit had been complaining about being stuck in the nursery, so the she-cat had put her to work sorting herbs. Thistlekit had recently turned 6 moons, so she guessed that was the reason for the meeting. I hope she gets a nice mentor, Blackrose thought dreamily, settling down a few tail lengths away from Gust rock.
Thistlekit bounded after Blackrose, her fur fluffed up in excitement. She was 6 moons!!! She couldn't get over the fact that she would no longer have to stay in the stuffy nursery. She was a little upset that she wouldn't get to see Moonstep and Nightfeathers' kits all the time, but by being an apprentice she'd get to teach them plenty of tricks. She couldn't wait!

Owlpaw was lying in the apprentice's den, attempting to clean his ears. A yowl from Leopardstar told him there was a Clan meeting. Jumping up from what he was doing, he walked casually into the clearing. He tilted his head to one side and gazed up to his leader. A glance at Thistlekit told him she was going to become an apprentice. Good, that means one more cat in the apprentice's den he said in his head. She sure looked excited enough. Owlpaw choose to sit down fairly close to the Gust Rock, ready for the ceremony to start.

Nightfeather looked drowsily over at Gust Rock from where he was sunning himself by the fresh kill pile to see his leader Leopardstar calling a meeting. Heaving himself up, he shook off all reminants of sleep and padded over to join the growing assembly of Windclanners. He had heard that Thistlekit was now 6 moons and took an educated guess that this was his Apprentice ceremony. He hoped the kit-turning-apprentice would get a good mentor, and was already planning to ask the chosen warrior about a joint training session when his own apprentice got better.

Moonstep padded over to Nightfeather, pleased to see Thistlekit so excited. The kit had seemed very down lately, the deputy hoped being an apprentice would take Thistlekit's mind off whatever had upset her. "Hey. Have I missed anything?" She muttered to Nightfeather, sitting beside the tom with a grin.

'Not much' he replied, 'it hasn't even started yet.' He looked at his mate with glowing eyes, showing affection and pride for her. 'How are you? Nightfeather murmured, so quiet that only she could hear. 'I saw you heading out of Blackrose's den earlier and I was scared you were ill.'

Leopardstar noticed the gathered cats and nodded. They were swift and prompt. Great in a fight she thought as her mind wandered to the crazed Risingstar.
Standing up from her lying postition Leopardstar decided to start the meeting.
"Cats of windclan" she meowed. "Most of you probably know that Thistlekit is now 6 moons old and it is time she became a Apprentice. Thistlekit please step foward"

Thistlekit practically leaped into the air. Darting foward, it took all of her effort not to scream in delight. Stopping infront of Leopardstar she had a sudden burst of nerves. If I screw up, I'll look like a mousebrain in front of the whole clan, a tiny voice muttered in the back of her mind. Shakes enveloped the young she-cat and she glanced desperately at Moonstep. The other cat had always calmed her down in the past, Thistlekit just hoped her nerves woudln't destroy her.

Moonstep was still a little shaky from her meeting with Blackrose, and she knew she had better to apologise to her old friend as soon as she could. "I'm fine. We need to talk later though. I have something to tell you."She murmured, keeping her eyes on Thistlekit and Leopardstar. Sensing the kit's fear, she flashed her most reassuring smile. "Chill Thistle, you're fine." She purred softly, so only Thistlekit and -by default- Nightfeather could hear.

Nodding in acceptance, Nightfeather smiled at Thistlekit, who had looked to Moonstep for encoraugement. 'Yeah Thistlekit, you'll be fine.' He echoed. Deep inside, nerves of his own were starting to play up. What did Moonstep have to tell him?

"As you all know, Thistlekitis now 6 moons old and it is now time for her apprentice ceremony. Thistlekit please step forward." The wing surged over the camp making her fur all pushed over on one side and she silently vowed to fix it later. Her gaze turning and focusing on Thistlekit she announced "Thistlekit from now on you will be known as Thistlepaw. May you learn the skills well that you're new mentor will pass down to you." She paused, waiting for Thistlepaw to touch noses with her.

Thistlepaw grinned and bounded forward. She was an apprentice!!! Now she just wanted to know who her mentor was going to be. She hoped it would be someone nice. Touching noses with Leopardstar she tried not to let her excitement to show too much. Apprentices are meant to be dignifed she remembered.

Leopardstar grinned at the excited, 'newly made' apprentice. Touching nose with Thistlepaw she mewed a well done and continued. "Thistlepaw's new mentor will be Moonstep! May she guide and train Thistlepaw in the warrior code well!"

Moonsteps' eyes widened in shock. Taking a step forward she touched noses with Thistlepaw before returning to sit with Nightfeather. "Thistlepaw!" She called, but her mind was racing. Her first apprentice had been Fallenleaf, but she hadn't had one since. This is going to be fun, she sighed.

Owlpaw joined in cheering for the new apprentice, "Thistlepaw, Thistlepaw!" He could tell Thistlepaw was trying to be calm and cool, but he knew on the inside she was excited. Owlpaw walked back to the apprentices den and started grooming himself. He started out by licking his paws, sitting near the entrance to the den so he could watch everyone else slowly go back to what they were doing.

'Thistlepaw, Thistlepaw!' The cry echoed around the clearing as the cats of Windclan celebrated their new apprentice. His voice joining with thiers, Nightfeather licked his mates ear proudly and murmured in a break between cheers 'You'll be a great mentor Moonstep'
