A half-moon has passed, and the visitors were fitting in nicely. The kits has become close friends, and all of the visitors has friends in the Clan.
Silverleaf had just declared that their wounds had fully healed, but Fred didn't seem to want to leave, after experiencing Clan life, understanding the warrior code and StarClan and how NightClan treat the kits.
At sunhigh, Fred and Carlos stopped outside Nightstar's den. "Nightstar?"
She looked up in surprise. "Fred? Come in!" The two toms stepped inside. The half-moon has stocked them up until they were strong and fit again. "So I'm guessing you're here because of your decision?"
"That's right." Carlos bobbed his head. He exchanged looks with Fred. "We have decided that we want to stay."
Nightstar was delighted. "That's fantastic! Is this final? Because if you join, you will serve this Clan all your life, and you will risk your life to protect the Clan and its youth and elders."
"We are sure." Fred confirmed. "The others don't know this yet, so we're hoping you could announce it, like some sort of surprise? They all want to stay, and I can't just force them into, as you call it, rogue life if they don't want to. I have to respect their wishes as well."
"I'm glad you made this choice." Nightstar purred. "However, if you join this Clan, you will need your warrior names, so you won't be Fred anymore, and Molly won't be Molly anymore. They will have proper warrior names."
"I understand that too. We will live in the Clan as NightClan members." Fred took a deep breath. "I am honored to call you leader. You are a just, kind and strong cat. I feel reassured our kits are under your control."
Nightstar wasn't expecting this. "Erm, thank you... Fred. As long as NightClan is strong, each kit, elder and warrior will be safe and under protection. I will make this announcement after all the patrols come back. You may leave." The two soon-to-be warriors left, leaving Nightstar excited and rather embarrassed.

"NightClan, I have a very special announcement, and very special ceremonies to make-" The cats purred as Spottedkit exclaimed, "Our apprentice ceremonies!"
"Soon, Spottedkit. You will be apprentices, don't you worry." Nightstar addressed NightClan again. "Our visitors have decided to stay with us and join NightClan." Surprised and merry gasps ripped through the audience.
"I called this meeting to announce this, and to rename our visitors so they become proper cats of NightClan. Thank you, Fred, for making this choice. You won't regret it. We guarantee that. Will our visitors step forward? Kits included." Nightstar sat down at the base of the Nightrock, as the visitors padded over timidly and the kits bounded over, thrilled.
Once all the cats are named, the Clan cheered the new cats' names, and had a celebration. Full to the brim, each cat retired to their nests, joyful because of the news.
