Willow shine purred in amusement as the kits tumbled, gripping onto each other. " Good job, Maplekit," a voice purred. Maplekit turned to see Lionthooth, his piercing eyes staring into her soul. Dawnkit padded off to play with Moustail's kit, River kit. Maplekit beamed at Lionthooth's compliment, although Willow shine didn't seem to approve. " Ahem, Lionthooth, aren't you supposed to be on Dawn patrol?" Willowshine asked. Dawnkit's ears perked up at the word 'dawn'. " Silly Dawnkit," Lionthooth growled before leaving with a flick of his tail. Maplekit trailed him before going back to the nursery X X X "All Rippleclan cats old enough to swim, gather near the Moon fall," Ripple Star announced, flicking his tail. " I'm going to be an apprentice!" Maplekit beamed, telling one of the elders. Dawnkit emerged next to River kit, both being pushed forward by their mothers. Maplekit gave them a questioning look, her gaze lurking on River kit. " Ripple Clan cats, today 3 new apprentices are to be introduced," Ripplestar began. Rippleclan started whispering and casting looks over the kits. " Maplekit, you will be known as Maplepaw," Ripplestar said. " Maplepaw! Maplepaw!" The clan chanted.

Lionthooth and Maplepaw touched noses, with Lionthooth smirking. " Dawnkit, you will now be known as Dawnpaw," The clan leader announced. " Dawnpaw! Dawnpaw!". " Your mentor shall be Swiftstripe," Ripplestar announced. Willow shine curled her lips into a smile at the mention of her old freind and own daughter. Dawnpaw and Swiftstripe touched noses.
