Blazekit's POV:

"We are becoming apprentices today! Don't you think it'll be cool serving our clan?" Graykit mewed excitedly. 

"Of course!" I mewed. Pouncing on Graykit, play-fighting.

"Blazekit, Graykit, settle down. If you don't behave properly, who would be the best behaved apprentices now?" My mother, Jaymoon, mewed to us. 

"Sorry," Me and my brother mewed. 

"Molepaw and Cherrypaw had just been made apprentices, we can try to be better than them!" Graykit must be really excited! Like I am!

"Maybe trying to be the best isn't always why you should serve your clan," Jaymoon protested.

"What is this about being the best apprentices you can be?" My father, Liontail, mewed as he poked his head inside the Nursery.

"We said that!" I told my father.

"We can all try to be good warriors," He suggested.

"All right. Maybe save your imagination for when you become apprentices, Okay?" My mother mewed gently.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the highledge for a clan meeting!" Firestar's mew rang from the clearing.

"Ooh! Thank StarClan!" I mewed as I leaped excitedly.

"C'mon this way, Blazekit and Graykit." Liontail lead us in the crowd and towards the ThunderClan leader beneath the ledge. 

Then Firestar looked down at us. "Today, we are announcing two new apprentices. Blazekit and Graykit have reached their sixth moon, and may StarClan bless them to their path of becoming true warriors." He mewed softly. "Graykit, step forward." I watch as my brother took a step towards the leader, tail raised in excitement. "From this day forward until you've received your warrior name, you'll be known as Graypaw." 

Then the leader turned to Blackstripe. "Blackstripe, you've been a great warrior ever since you came and begun your training her at our camp. I became proud of you. Which is why I offered you as mentor to Graypaw."

"Thank you, Firestar." Blackstripe came over and placed his muzzle on Graypaw's head. "Make me proud of you," I heard him whisper to my brother.

"I promise you'll be proud!" Graypaw told him back.

"And Blazekit, step forward." The leader looked down at me. I stepped forward shyly. My pelt felt hot with embarrassment as I was aware of the entire clan staring at me. "For now, you'll be known as Blazepaw." Then his head moved to where Whitestripe was standing. "Whitestripe, you have been a fine warrior. Please pass on all these qualities to Blazepaw,"

Then Whitestripe dipped his head in respect. "Of course," Then he padded towards me and rested his muzzle on my head. His warm breath soothing my fur. "I hope you try your best to be the greatest warrior during your training," He breathed.

"I'll try," I told him back softly. We are actual clan apprentices!
