Mushroomkit stepped out of the nursery as Dawnstar's voice rang through the camp. With a skip in her step, she bounded from the threshold and took a moment to just watch the cats around her gathering up for a meeting. It has been lonely the past days and nights in the nursery den. Her mama being gone and no visits from Tinywolf, Mushroomkit was so happy to finally be able to share a den with Adderpaw again! Speaking of.
The russet feline made her way to the apprentice den, ducking her head into the space and looking around for her best friend, "Adderpaw! Adderpaw! There's a meeting! I think it'll be my apprentice ceremony this moon!" Waiting for her friend's appearance, the kitten hopped back to give the other kitten space to leave the den before looking back towards the meeting.
"Come on! Me and Dovekit are so excited, Dove is already up there with the rest of the group!"

She placed another daisy into the edge of the new moss nest which was lined with an assortment of flowers. White flowers dotted the nest, joined by the occasional purple or orange flower. Sadly Adderpaw had not found any of her signature red flowers, nor were there many colorful flowers to find so early in new leaf, while on her patrol but she still thought the nest looked pretty. The braided tabby took a step back and tilted her head as she inspected the now decorated nest beside hers. Hmm no it still didn't look quite as she had hoped, not perfect. She begane rearranging the flowers as well as making sure the moss was still fluffy and new looking. Once more taking a step back the apprentice scrutinized her work. Maybe the nests were too close, it did look kind of odd having two nests so isolated from everyone else's. Oh no, she wouldn't want others to consider Mushroomkit to be weird! Adderpaw was reminded of how pinekit had referred to her and Mushroom as weirdos. She didn't want others to think of her friend that way. Also what if mushroomkit didn't want to have their nests next to each other anymore? She had suggested that around a moon ago, her opinion might've changed! Oh and what is mushroomkit didn't like the color purple or even flowers! What if she hated the nest and then never wanted to be friends with Adderpaw anymore-
The apprentice practically jumped out of her skin when the voice suddenly interrupted her train of thought. The braided tabby fluffed up her fur and stood In front of the nest hiding from the russet kit's view. Was the ceremony starting already? But Adderpaw wasn't done! The gift was ready yet- it wasn't perfect! The apprentice cast a glance back at the two nests, specifically the new one intended to be a welcome gift for the russet kit, soon to be apprentice, who was standing in the dens entrance. It didn't look perfect and the thought gnawed at the back of her mind but she knew she couldn't sit here wasting her time trying to fix it and miss mushroomkit’s ceremony completely. She'd just run back here when mushroom is meeting a mentor and put the last few things in place. Yeah. She could do that.
Breathing out with a sigh, Adderpaw approached the soon to be apprentice and ushered her out making sure she didn't catch sight of her gift until after the ceremony was complete. well you better join your sister up there too or risk missing your ceremony like I did is what she would've said if she could form the right words but ever since she stopped performing her ritual her words had come out more of a stutter or they just didn't sound right! Pinekit was right though, tapping your paw a certain number of times before speaking was just weird, no one else did it so she shouldn't either. ”mhm, I-I’ll watch” those were the only words she managed to say before the words caught in her throat and died.
The moment they were in the clearing, her pale eyes scanned over every clanmate insight already gathered beneath the grimpeak. She felt that faint itch beneath skin and the thousand unseeing eyes and too loud whispers hit her all at once. At least now she knew no one would be looking at her- as long as she acted normal and didn't do anything weird or embarrassing- because she wasn't going to be the one having a ceremony. All eyes would be focused on the kits becoming apprentices and the apprentices becoming warriors. She hesitated before weaving her way through the crowd to the front just this time she didn't walk all the way to the grimpeak and instead sat amongst the cats at the front. She looked back to make sure mushroom was still with her. She didn't want her friend to have to endure the shame of missing your apprentice ceremony, however she knew she didn't have to worry too much about that. Mushroom didn't seem like the type to be afraid of standing In front of a crowd. Not like her at least. That was something Adderpaw both admired and envied.

"Bonekit, Grubkit, Specklekit, Twilightkit, Littlekit, Nightkit, Ashkit, Flamekit, and Mushroomkit. Come sit below the Grimpeak." Dawnstar called for the kits once the clan gathered below her. Let's see if she collected all of them this time.
"Stempaw, Hollowpaw, Fishpaw, and Lionpaw, sit behind them, your ceremonies are next." She meows while glancing at each apprentice as she speaks their names. #shcmeeting

Shadepaw twitched her ear when she heard the kits being called up. There was... quite a bit more than usual. More apprentices, more warriors. That was good, she supposed. She just wished she could be a warrior already.

This was it. The moment he’s waited for for his whole life. Not the sole goal of everything, but this was a very very large step forwards. He held his head high and he padded up to the meeting. Why be humble? He didn’t get cats like that. This was his big day, he could be proud. He’s worked towards this for what- 5 moons? Yes- that was right. So, needless to say this was well deserved.
His blue gaze landed on another apprentice he knew of but didn’t know. Hawk-Dads own apprentice, the position he wished to be in honestly. Now it felt irrelevant, he got through his training just fine with solid cats and HawkBite still helped him with battle. However, back when he received the rank he currently stood in, an envy burned in him. Tsch- so petty and immature. He was never immature anymore!
HollowPaw is getting her name too it seemed, he was certain that’s the news he heard. Coincidental, huh? Perhaps he could be social and polite for once, yeah? The brown tabby (who was quickly growing in size) padded up to HollowPaw with a…shockingly kind dip of his head and polite expression. Shocker- he was never one to be kind or polite, at least to those of his equal rank. “May I?” he asked, nodding his head to the spot next to her.
└> . . . Mention
Hollowpaw
‘The Hauntress’
Shadow Fiend: Inactive | Chill of Death: Permanently Active
[ black and white cat, blue and amber eyes. face and shoulder scarring. | she/they ]

➢ His approach was a pleasant one and Hollowpaw can only nod towards the brown tom. A playful grin plastered on her face as she moved their tail so he could take the spot next to her. Excitement brewing over the edges as she turned back to Dawnstar, her words practically slow motion to the dark Apprentice. No Fish? She needs to show up, it was rude to be late to such an event. Am alarm bell sets off in her mind, though it’s thrown to the wayside by her own name. It grabbed her attention back to the giant Leader as she mind and eyes had both wandered away. Hollowpaw would absolutely be lying if she said she wasn’t proud of the cat next to her. Though she hadn’t interacted with Lionpaw, if at all, she felt as if a tease was a good enough start for their last interaction as Apprentices. Standing up and before moving forwards she aims to lightly tap him with their tail.
“You ready, Lionlame?” Husky voice hopefully portraying the proper expression of humor. It made her laugh, but she swiftly settled down afterwards. Sitting before the growing pool of kits. New Apprentices, always a welcome addition to the ranks. They silently wonder if one would replace her spot as Hawkbite’s Apprentice. He still had Weepingpaw to train so he wouldn’t be alone by any means, it was just strange. She wouldn’t have to bother the Commander for anything anymore. No more dragging him around for training or a simple walk through the territory. No clinging to the guy at Gatherings either. Ha, stars, this was certainly something.

Ah, Stempaw was going to become a warrior this meeting. Well, he was just about to head back into the den, but now he was obliged to stay. In fact...
Silentpaw stood from his position outside the medicine cats' den, and quietly padded over to Stempaw. The medicine cat apprentice lightly bumped his shoulder to Stempaw's, a fond and relaxed look on his face. He wasn't smiling, but the look he was giving Stempaw definitely gave it the illusion of a rare smile. Hey, can a cat not be happy for a friend's achievement?

Blackjaw smiled, with a light purr of laughter. The tom looked at Mosstangle beside him and felt her shuffle closer to him. The tom looked down, feeling fuzzy and warm. The tom gazed at the queen, his eyes glimmering as he gazed at her. She wasn't looking back at him, but just looking at her, it made him excited and happy.
MOSSTANGLE
Shadowclan Warrior | 19 moons | Large, dark brown-and-white tabby she-cat with green eyes
~~~
Mosstangle didn't quite notice Blackjaw looking at her. Instead, her ears perked as she looked up at Grimpeak. Dawnstar had made her call to kits and apprentices. She purred in delight. It was always good to see more added to shadowclan's ranks. She glanced at Blackjaw. "You think one of them will become your apprentice?" She asked. There were quite a few kits this moon. She thought back to the last meeting, whiskers almost twitching as she remembered Morningpaw's stance of absolutely being Mosstangle's only apprentice until he was given his warrior name.
Morningpaw laughed at the kit. He just got himself all muddy! "That's cool, I guess. And uh. I personally have never seen a worm that long.. must've been a rare find." The apprentice said, amber eyes flicking up to Dawnstar for a moment before flicking back down to Wildkit. He winced internally at the calico's muddy pose, and carefully suggested he stand up. "You'll be covered in... dirt, now, Wildkit."
WILDKIT
Shadowclan kit | 4 Moons | Long-furred calico tom with yellow eyes
~~~
Wildkit jumped back to his paws, looking down at the mud and dirt that covered his underbelly and legs. He shook out his fur and gave his chest a few licks. Eh, nothing that a little grooming won't fix... Though, he often had stuff stuck to his fur, so sometimes he wondered what the point of grooming was, anyway. "It's okay, I can clean it off." He told Morningpaw. Then his ears perked and he looked up at Dawnstar, mouth agape as she called so many kits! "Wow...!" He whispered. "Are they all becoming apprentices?"

Yes! Yes! YES! Ashkit bounded forward as he heard his name, trying hard to stop the excited shaking of his limbs as he sat below Grimpeak. He had waited so long for this...! It was finally happening. Ashkit and his siblings would all become apprentices together!
