Willowkit was so excited. She was about to become an apprentice! She couldn't believe it! All of the other kits were way younger than her. Like, four to five moons younger. She was the oldest kit in the nursery. She was kind of sad though. Since she didn't have any brothers or sisters, she would have to endure this ceremony alone. Oh well. She thought. I will make it on my own. It really can't be that hard, can it? It must be very exciting! I'll finally be an apprentice and have my own mentor!! Rosestar was excited also. It was her daughter's apprentice ceremony! She kept going on, and on, and on, about how important this was and that if Willowkit's father, Whitefoot, was here he would be so proud. Though Willowkit knew that Whitefoot was watching from StarClan, she still missed him. He had been killed by a RiverClan warrior in a battle over Sunningrocks only a halfmoon ago.

Anyway, she was super excited and a bit annoyed because Rosestar would not stop grooming her. "Rosestar, please, please stop! I already look fine!" Willowkit mumbled. "But you have to look perfect when you are presented in front of StarClan!" Rosestar complained. She paused. "It will feel a bit odd to be presuming my duties again. I bet that Leafheart will be quite relieved to have that pressure off of his shoulders. You know, it's hard to be Clan leader. Are you excited?"

"Yes, very much so Rosestar. I just can't get over the fact that I'm going to be an apprentice already. But, it's going to be different not having any other apprentices to play with."

"Yes, I miss them too." Rosestar whispered half to herself.

"Who?"

"Oh, sorry. No one darling." But even then, Rosestar seemed to be distracted.

I wonder what, or who she is thinking about. Just forget it. Today's your day to shine!

"Willowkit, you will now be from now, until you become a warrior, known as Willowpaw. Your mentor will be Snowtail. You are a amazing fighter, Snowtail, and fiercely loyal to your clan. I trust that you will pass these skills onto Willowpaw." While Rosestar was talking, Willowpaw had walked over to Snowtail and touched noses with her new mentor. She was bursting with joy. She was no longer a kit, she was an apprentice! Luckily, she and Snowtail were good friends. Maybe this upcoming moon I can go to my first gathering. Now wouldn't that be cool!
