Icefang had done what he could around camp. He was not sure if he would be a good deputy but he would try his best. Then he heard Stormstar and went over to see what was going on. Then he realized he was going to make him deputy.

Swiftflight watched with surprise as the rabbit appear and Cloudfoot gave chase, but not even a hearbeat later he joined her. He headed towards it with her, but hissed under his breath as she missed it. Narrowing his eyes, he shot forward, passing her. "I've got it," he panted quickly, racing after the rabbit. It was fast, so it was hard to keep up, even though he was fast, too. Slowly, however, he started gaining ground. Just when he was about to leap onto it, his foot actually hit a rock and he went tumbling forward, head over tail, rolling through the tall grasses several times before finally plopping still on the ground.

Icefang saw Stormstar's signal and gazed up. "I hope I don't fall." he muttered even though it was a low branch. So he climbed onto the branch with his leader and waited.

Lizardpaw sighed with slight disappointment that he couldn't have done better. After ages of fishing and getting his paws and face wet, to his great annoyance, all he had to show for it were two small fish. His pelt pricked with unease at the thought that he may have failed his assessment, and the apprentice reluctantly picked up his fish and mouse. Thankfully, his underbite actually helped in this endevour, allowing him to fit all pieces of prey enough that he could carry them back to camp.
Once back, he cast a slightly worried glance at his mentor, his mouth still full of his catches. The tom tried to hide his anxiety about everything, but it was still fairly obvious as he refused to make direct eye contact for long and his tail tip twitched now and again while he made his way to the fresh kill pile to add his bounty. Afterwards, he padded over to his mentor and sat tall, puffing out his chest, really trying hard not to seem anxious about his results. He braced himself for the news.

Cloudfoot pulled herself to her paws just in time to see swiftflight sprint away, impressed by his flying speed. But she watched with fire boding as he pelted along, not noticing the rock in him path. She suppressed a laugh and bounced up to him to see if he was alright

Swiftflight spat out some dirt and sat up awkwardly, wrinkling his nose at the disgusting taste of earth. "Mousedung!" His words came out in a rage-filled hiss. Of course he'd be ticked off after that blunder. It was an apprentice move to not look where you were putting your paws, and worse yet he missed the catch! Inwardly, he cursed at himself as he picked himself up, shaking out his midnight pelt.

At first, Lizardpaw's heart thumped hard against his ribs, the anticipation killing him. He braced himself, but what he was desperately waiting for never came. Instead, he was told to sit under the oak. Letting out a huge sigh of disappointment, he came to sit by his mentor, curling his ital around his paws. It was plain to see how unhappy he was at having his results delayed, and his claws picked at the ground.

Icefang heard what his leader said. Was he ready? This is the one thing he hadn't planned out. With one more moment of thought he decided."I am ready Stormstar." He said with a new confidence in himself.

sorry been busy last few days)
cloudfoot saw that the tom was unhappy and padded up
"unlucky, it could of happened to anyone" not waiting for the tom to reply she turned and saw it was already dusk, "quick we need to get back, its already dusk and its Icefang's ceremony" she turned and waited for the warrior to follow, her anxious paws kneading the ground.

Swiftflight continued to curse under his breath, but headed off back to camp. He'd much rather prefer not to be out here at dusk, as the risk of foxes increased dramatically; he was more scared for himself at that thought. He padded past Cloudfoot, still muttering to himself. How could he have messed up like that? this was definitely something to bother him for sunrises.
Lizardpaw watched from below, his expression being one of surprise. A new deputy was finally going to be named? His eyes fell upon Icefang who perched in the oak with Stormstar. So Icefang was to be the new deputy, he guessed. The irritation and annoyance he had bubbling inside him started to quickly ebb away. Appointing a new deputy was definitely important enough to delay his assessment results, no doubt. It had already been too long of a wait for deputy, even he knew. The tom sat quietly, listening respectfully as his leader spoke.
Dewstreak sat near the back of the small assembly, battling her inner irritation. Oh, how she had wanted so badly to be deputy. She worked so hard to keep the clan safe and provide for it. It secretly burned her inside, all the while another part of her was fighting herself, telling her that she should be happy a new deputy was finally picked, even if it wasn't her. Icefang would make a fine deputy, of course. Her mind was a raging storm of envy and joyful denial, but she wore a happy expression on the outside. Yeah, at least the clan would have a deputy again.

(searipple I did a time skip so now their just going through the camp entrance if that's okay)
Cloudfoot padded through the entrance and saw everyone gathered at the high branch, with a silencing flick of her tail to swiftflight she came through the camp entrance and padded down to sit with the others. She dropped the tansy leaves she had found on the way back on the floor and looked up to stormstar , who was already mid-speech to find out the reason why they were gathered.
Larkfeather sat down at in a quiet corner of the group and wrapped is long tail over his paws. He gazed up his forest green eyes gazed at the leader and icefang already reasoning the possibility of a deputy ceremony.Pleased when his suspicion was confirmed he he relaxed a bit, settling down to hear the ancient tradition. He licked his soft fur eager to await the deputies first orders.
Tallkit peered out the nursery to see the commotion outside. he heard Stormstar talking and strained his tiny ears to hear what was going on and feed his curiosity. but the little kit lost interest all to quickly and turning around he called his littermates to play a game of 'catch-the-leaf'

Yeah, that's no problem at all)
Swiftflight didn't notice Cloudfoot's silencing gesture, but he did hear Stormstar talking, and that made him shut his mouth. For a moment, he wondered what was happening, but upon seeing Icefang sitting with Stormstar, he took the guess that maybe they were finally getting a new deputy. Why else would the warrior be up there? it definitely wasn't for a new apprentice as none of the kits were nearly old enough yet. The tom sat down at the edge of the tiny crowd, leaving his thoughts of irritation behind.

cloudfoot joined in as the chanting rose, "icefang, icefang", she was relieved to finally have a deputy. The stars were coming through the black sky, the moon was getting smaller each day and this night gave a faint glow in the night sky. She saw stormstar sitting an the high branch. It jogged her memory, she needed to talk to him about gatherings and some other medcat/leader stuff.
Lark feather gave few cheers before standing up. Lot of cats were already at the foot of the tree and he joined them. he have a long stretch and padded forward to congratulate the new deputy. Though there was an icy breeze larkfeather felt comforted by the stars in the sky and his clan mates, he wasn't really too tired and felt like staying up for a while. he waited for the deputy too jump down and pose the question.

Icefang was nervous about screwing up but was happy at the same time. This was mostly because the ceremony went over well. "Thank you Stormstar I will not fail you or the clan." With this said he jumped down from the branch into the crowd of his clanmates to see what his they had to say.

Larkfeather approached Icefang calmly, his tail low his steps paced. "do you need someone for night watch? i'm not tired and well... I just wouldn't mind doing it?" he asked respectfully knowing the cats new rank to be high. He kept his posture calm as warriors either waited or filtered off to their nests

"Uh... yeah that would be great." He said caught off guard not quite expecting the question. He headed towards the warriors den to go to sleep. Giving one last glance around camp he walked into the den, fixed his fur one more time and went to sleep.

Lizardpaw stared up as the ceremony continued, though it seemed to drag on. In reality, it wasn't any longer than any other deputy naming ceremony, but when one was giddy and waiting in agonizing anticipation of their first assessment results. He kept his feelings hidden, however, so as to be respectful of what was happening. he was always taught from a young kit age to be respectful.
His heart lifted in his chest once Icefang was named and the scene was over. Eagerly, he turned to his mentor. "May I have my results now?" he begged. "Pleasssssssssse." It was still eating away at him, and would continue to do so until he finally got what he wanted.
Just then, Dewstreak padded over to the two toms, probably unintentionally putting yet another delay on Lizardpaw's wishes. "Can you believe we finally have a new deputy?" she asked Smokepelt. "And it's Icefang. I'm sure he'll do a fine job and really will make the clan proud." She looked off after the tom who went to his den, disappointment dwelling in her blue eyes. She had wanted that position so badly and worked so hard, but at the same time, Stormstar had made the choice. She would respect that choice and Icefang without complaint.
Swiftflight didn't bother with a congratulations to the newly named deputy. He was glad the clan had one again finally, yes, but he figured Icefang would want some rest and didn't want to be bothered by every single cat in the clan. Instead, he went back to the Warriors' den, a little after Icefang disappeared into it, and leapt up on top to sit and observe like he always did.

Lizardpaw's mouth hung open as soon as the warrior turned form him. Seriously?! The young tom lashed his tail in the air once but quickly composed himself again. A true warrior didn't lose his cool, or at least didn't show it. Words from his long gone father echoed in his head. He sighed and decided to just go and eat something for a while. Strength was always needed, and it would occupy some time while he continued to wait.
Dewstreak tilted her head to the side ever so slightly. "You believe there could have been better?" she inquired quietly. It wasn't wise, more simply rude, to speak of such things for others to hear. "You don't quite sound like you approve so much of Stormstar's choice, she commented, sitting down as well. Her tail wrapped neatly around her paws. "Honestly, I wish it were me instead, but I have to respect the leader's choice. Besides, I know Icefang will do well as deputy, but there always could be better, no matter how good a deputy is already." Would she have been a better deputy? Granted, there haven't been any events yet so soon after his naming to prove Icefang's capabilities as deputy, so there really was no way of telling. Perhaps it was all the desire she held for that position which spoke.
