"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Hollowtree for a clan meeting!" Bumblestar's call rumbled at the entrance to his den, and every cat came from their den but the kits, who sat at the entrance to the nursery, listening. "I have decided to make Silverpaw a warrior!" He announced loudly. A ripple of surprise and support went through the crowd. The kits mewed happily. "I've always wanted her to be my mentor!" Jollykit squeaked. Bumblestar stared up at the sky. "I, Bumblestar, leader of OakClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn." Bumblestar was now looking at her. "Silverpaw," He continued proudly, "do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then by the powers of MoonClan, I give you your warrior name," He stopped and stared, proud, at his daughter. His eyes were twinkling with pride. "Silverpaw, from this moment you will be known as Silverheart. MoonClan honors your willingness to help and your independence, and we welcome you as a full warrior of OakClan." He was smiling widely now. As he jumped down from the Hollowtree, Silverheart smiled back and he rested his muzzle on his daughter's head, she gave her father's shoulder a respectful lick. They parted and Silverheart went to sit next to Swiftbreeze.
"Silverheart! Silverheart! Silverheart!" The clan chanted her new name. Bumblestar waited for it to die away "I would like Jollykit to step forward." Mewed Bumblestar.
Jollykit stepped forward, Birdpaw just behind him.
"Jollykit. From this day until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Jollypaw." Bumblestar purred, glancing at his daughter, willing her to step forward. "Silverheart." He began. Silverheart twitched her ears at a light groan that came from Dampsoil, the second oldest warrior. "You may have just became a warrior, but as a apprentice you show traits that a mentor needs, but hardly has. You shall mentor Jollypaw." Silverheart touched noses with Jollypaw. His bubbling excitement seemed to spark through her as they touched. He's going to be a great apprentice. Almost perfect.

She jerked away as a yell came from the crowd.
"You spoil her to much, Bumblestar. You don't deserve to be leader!"
Hissing pressed on the air around her. Everything had went from happiness to anger. Dampsoil had started a fight.
