"Lilacpaw! Clawpaw!" Cedarkit chanted along with her clanmates, three and a half moons later. Larkstar had just named them apprentices to Berrybush(Clawpaw's mentor) and Leaffall(Lilacpaw's mentor). The ginger tabby strided up to Cedarkit.     
     "I'm going to miss you," said Lilacpaw sadly.
     "Why?" Cedarkit was confused. "We're still going to be friends."
     "We're not denmates anymore though."
The brown she-cat hadn't thought of that. Before she could respond, Lilacpaw was whisked away by Clawpaw and Bramblepaw.
Cedarkit sat down by herself. It wasn't fair that she still had to wait another moon.
     All of a sudden, the camp went upside down.
     "How dare you come into our camp, you filthy Thunderclan cat!" Nightkit growled at Cedarkit as he pinned her down.
     Playing along, Cedarkit said, "I came because you invaded our camp!" She jumped up, throwing Nightkit off of her. They played until the sun set. Their mothers then carried back into the nursery.
     Cedarkit noticed that her sister wasn't there. Skykit wasn't there when Nightkit and Duskkit fell asleep. She wasn't there when Dandelionpelt fell asleep. Cedarkit herself was almost asleep when Skykit finally arrived with a sad look on her face. She smelled of Willowfly.
     "I went to see I could be a Medicine Cat apprentice. But I can't. Spikepaw is already Willowfly's apprentice," Said Skykit.
"Mouse dung!" Replied Cedarkit. Beside them, Flowefeather stirred.
"We better go to sleep. We can't wake mother," she told her sister.
Without a response, Skykit laid down and closed her eyes. Cedarkit did the same.
********************************************
Cedarkit woke up to see Leaffall(Her father) sharing tongues with Flowefeather. It was the first time in two moons that she saw the brown warrior in the nursery. Duskkit, Nightkit and Skykit were playing 'Catch the mouse.' Skykit was the mouse, and Nightkit and Duskkit were trying to pounce on her.
But due her larger size, Skykit was too fast for her denmates. Very quietly, Cedarkit stood up and started walking up to her sister. Neither Skykit, nor Dandlionpelt's kit noiticed her. Now! The brown kit pounced on her sister. Skykit yelped in surprise.
"Hey! How did you do that?" Skykit's tail lashed out at Cedarkit. "I didn't even hear you!"
"Well done," said Leaffall's deep voice. "'You almost pounce like full grown warrior would, Cedarkit." Cedarkit saw a glint of pride in her father's eyes. She licked her chest fur in embarrasment.
Flowefeather grinned. "You remind me of your father," she said. "So skillful and modest at the same time."
Cedarkit looked over her shoulder to see Skykit with her head down. "And don't forget Skykit," she said, flicking her tail towards her sister. "She dogded all of Nightkit and Duskkit's blows, and they were pretty quick." Skykit blinked gratefully.
"Oh, and Leaffall," started Cedarkit. "How is Lilacpaw?"
"She is doing great," replied the brown warrior. "She misses you though, you can tell."
"All cats old enough to swim, gather to hear my words!" Larkstar's voice rattled the nursery walls.
"Can we go too?" Skykit asked Flowefeather.
"If you behave yourselves." She replied.
"Yay!" Exclaimed Duskkit and Nightkit.
Dandelionpelt grabbed their tiny scruffs before they took three steps.
"You two still have about a moon to wait. Cedarkit and Skykit are almost apprentices."
"Awwwww!" Cried the energetic black kits in dismay.
Cedarkit and her sister ran towards the Highledge. Willowfly and her apprentice Spikepaw, were standing besides Larkstar.
"Last night was the half-moon," called Larkstar. "Willowfly gave Spikepaw his full name. Now, his name is Spiketail."
"Spiketail, Spiketail!" The Riverclan cats chanted for their new Medicine Cat.
But the golden-brown leader wasn't finished.
"But," she said. "With one less apprentice, I'd like to make two more. Skykit and Cedarkit."
