Peachdapple listened from the corner of her den, where she was organizing her herbs. She gave a light purr when Lightningstar came in to see Mist and Pebble, always delighted to see him come by. She turned to look at the three of them, as well as Tansykit and Twilightkit, so as to make sure they wouldn’t get into the herbs.

(Sorry, got really into an assignment  ) Pebble dipped his head, but Mist looked the older cat head on, not moving her head away for several long moments. She eventually dipped her head as well, though-- perhaps it was best for Pebble to take the lead. "Thank you for having us, Lightningstar," Pebble mewed quietly. "We're thankful for this chance to join your Clan." |

(ew I do not miss homework XD )
Twilightkit looked up at Peachdapple as he felt her stare, looking at her with owlish eyes. Was he not supposed to be in here?
Tansykit was completely oblivious to Peachdapple, hanging on Lightningstar's every word. Maybe she could convince him to make them apprentices early!

Hornetstrike was up, bright and early, ready to go on the patrol to Twolegplace. With how much prey was brought back, he had high hopes that they would be lucky again. He called for Lightningpaw, knowing that his apprentice would be excited to go on the patrol. Scarletpaw tried to pad casually with their prey, hoping that the Clan wouldn’t notice them just quickly slipping in. Though, if they did, she felt a smugness knowing Hollowpaw had caught her first prey. Surely they’d reward such a milestone, and she helped to get her there! She glanced back at Hollowpaw and Yellowpaw. For lunapaw🐾 when next on!) |

"I've been using them to clean all of my den and do all of my bidding." Peachdapple retorted with a smirk, looking at Lightningstar with a knowing look. She knew how welcoming he could be to cats who wanted to join. There was a reason cats like Ravenshade, Shardfury and Acorntail had been such exemplary Warriors, and why Lightningstar got as much flack from the other Clans and respect from within the Clan. Her job as a medicine cat was to treat and nurture any cat that came into her den, be it a Clan cat or a loner.
She purred deeply. "They've been wonderfully polite, and certainly curious about all of Thunderclan's ways. I think you've got great potential here." She implied.

Pebble's tail lifted at the sound of Peachdapple's praise. "She's taught us so much, but we're ready to learn more," he mewed.
"More than ready," Mist said. "Where Pebble goes, I will go, and where he stays I will stay. His Clan will be my Clan. May StarClan deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates us."

Boop. A starter for anyone :3)
Forestblaze sat outside the warriors den, grooming his pelt as he waited for Ghostscreech to start sending out the patrols for the day. He shot a look at the deputy as he waited for the rest of the Twolegplace hunting patrol to gather and held back a scoff.
Viperfang looked for Mistlight, wanting to see if she would want to spend some time together.
Sunthroat padded towards the apprentice's den, looking for Dawnpaw.
Squirreltail was grooming Lionkit, who was struggling to get out of her mother's grasp. "I wanna go play with Tansykit and Twilightkit, mama!" He huffed, having seen them leave the nursery already. "You can go once I've finished with you." Squirreltail purred.
Goldfeather padded towards the medicine den, wanting to speak with Peachdapple about something. She paused at the entrance, seeing Lightningstar speaking with the two young cats Ghostscreech and the others had brought back with them. Goldfeather waited outside, not wanting to interrupt their conversation.

Dawnpaw, always the punctual one, was waiting near the apprentice's den. He perked up when he saw Sunthroat, waving his tail quickly. "Are you looking for me? I'm up, don't worry! I was expecting you." He laughed, flicking his ear before he seemed to suddenly huff. "Scarletpaw was already gone when I woke up, I didn't know she was training that early, but I guess that's how it is." He shrugged.
Frostmoon slipped from the Warrior's den, stretching out her muscles from the training session from yesterday. Patchpaw had been energetic of course, but it was nice to see how well she and Forestblaze were able to work together to teach the apprentice some good battle techniques. She couldn't help but cast her gaze towards Ghostscreech, a part of her admittedly wondering if he'd ever pick her to go on the Twolegplace patrols. She hoped that he didn't think she was incapable of basic hunting, though she argued with herself that she was jumping to conclusions too quickly. She stared at the deputy longer than she had intended, fur warming and stomach twisting as she once again reminded herself that no matter how hard she tried to, these feelings just wouldn't go away for the deputy. She let her gaze fall to her paws, wishing she could just get all this mess out of her head.

Sunthroat paused at Dawnpaw's words, flicking his ear. "That's strange. Southmist was still in her nest when I left the warrior's den." he mewed. Had Scarletpaw gone out on her own? "Do you know how long she's been gone?" he asked Dawnpaw, looking at him.
Forestblaze turned his gaze away from the deputy when Frostmoon left the warrior's den, feeling another stab of jealousy when he saw her gaze had once again turned towards Ghostscreech. Just what exactly did she see in him anyways? "Good morning." he mewed to her, "Ghostscreech hasn't set up any of the patrols yet. He's seeing the hunting patrol off first." Forestblaze added.

Forestblaze added. “No idea.” Dawnpaw gave a sheepish look, admitting. “I fell asleep pretty early, when we came back from the patrol and I cleaned out the elders’ nests. I didn’t see her when I went to sleep, but I just assumed she slept later and woke up earlier than me.” He now looked a bit concerned. Frostmoon was broken out of her thoughts by Forestblaze’s greeting. She pulled a casual look upon her face, and greeted him by padding a bit closer to him. “Oh, good morning, Forestblaze. Yes, my father was all chatty about it when he left the den earlier… I guess you and I aren’t on it yet, hm?” She offered, half-teasing and half-serious. She flicked her ear and looked at him, awkward but grateful. “Thanks. For helping with Patchpaw. He really likes you, or, well, liked your demonstrations.” She admitted. |

“I’m glad to hear that.” Lightningstar spoke. He glanced at Peachdapple a moment with a smile. “Ghostscreech said that same thing about these two.” He looked back at the young cats. “It’s time to formally welcome you to Thunderclan.”

Lightningstar flicked his tail in a signal for them to follow him. He lead the apprentice out of the medicine den and into the center of camp. “You two stay here.” He spoke, having asked Ghostscreech earlier to sit in the center of camp with them. He then moved to jump up onto high rock. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, join beneath high rock for a clan meeting!”

Seafoam settled at the back of the crowd, Cloudysky settling next to his mother.
Shadowblossom moved to the back of the crowd to settle beside Yarrowcloud
Nettlepatch looked for Deerleap, so he could sit by her.
Willowsong sat near the front of the crowd, smiling at Pebble and Mist.
Webstripe sat at the edge of the gathering, tail tapping the ground beside him.
Tansykit and Twilightkit tumbled out of the medicine cat den behind Pebble, Mist and Lightningstar. Scurrying over towards the nursery before they got caught.

Ghostscreech sat in the center of the camp, giving Lightningstar a light nod when he brought Mist and Pebble over to sit with him.
Forestblaze flicked his ear at Frostmoon’s words, giving a light shrug, “It’s no problem. It gave me a nice chance to see what it’s like to be a mentor.” He mewed, turning his head at Lightningstar’s call, “Come on, let’s go see what this is about.” He mewed, joining the rest of the clan.
Squirreltail released Lionkit and stood to leave the nursery, watching the clan meeting from the nursery. She looked at her other two kits as they scrambled over to her, “And where have you two been?” She purred, catching the faint scent of herbs on them, “I hope you haven’t been causing trouble for Peachdapple.”
Sunthroat flicked his ear thoughtfully, wondering where Scarletpaw could have gone. He turned his head at Lightningstar’s call for a meeting and stood up, “Come on. We’ll head out for training after the meeting.”
(Should we just go ahead and bring the apprentices back, Blazer??)

Tansykit shook her head quickly, "No Mama! We were talking to the new cats! I promise we weren't being trouble."
Twilightkit nodded in agreeance with his sister, "You can ask her, promise Mama."

Pebble and Mist stood proudly where Lightningstar had left them, the gray-and-white tabby beaming with his blue eyes occasionally flicking towards Peachdapple. Mist licked a few patches of her fur, making sue that she looked put together-- at least in comparison to Pebble.

(Sure. We can have them get scolded after the ceremony.) Scarletpaw poked her head through the camp entrance, nearly sighing with relief as she saw that cats were pooling together to listen to Lightningstar. They could slip in, drop off the prey, and act like nothing happened! She whispered the plan to Hollowpaw and Yellowpaw, tiptoeing her way in. Dawnpaw nodded to Sunthroat, looking up at Lightningstar with curious eyes. Autumnfall sat happily between Jaytalon and Wolfshadow, feeling like her paws were in the clouds. A bit behind her, Dapplenight watched with Plumfur. Hornetstrike looked up, waiting to hear Lightningstar’s words before their patrol left. Hickoryshade and Sprucetail whispered to eachother, though they looked up promptly. Frostmoon nodded quickly to Forestblaze. “Find us a good spot. If these two loners become apprentices today, I want to see who their mentors are.” |

Lightningstar waited a few moments for the clan together before speaking. “As most of you know, while Ghostscreech’s patrol was in the twolegplace, they came across two young cats.” He started. “Mist and Pebble have expressed interest in joining the clan and I stand here today officially welcoming them to Thunderclan.” He spoke.

Willowsong sat up a bit taller as Lightningstar mentioned their patrol, she glanced over at Ghostscreech with a smile eyes gleaming with pride that they had brought the two young cats to their new home.

Scarletpaw stopped, eyes wide as she heard Lightningstar’s words. What?! There were loners joining the Clan? What had happened in the time they were hunting? She bristled a bit, not too keen on making strangers into clanmates. She continued to the prey pile though, trying ti make sense of it.
Mothsong watched, surprisingly silent and fur flat. It wasn’t as if she could act like she was any better, with rouge blood in her veins. She looked at Mist and Pebble with a silent gaze, realizing she just… couldn’t feel angry, for cats barely older than kits getting to become clan cats.
“How exciting!” Dawnpaw whispered to the other apprentices.

Forestblaze found a couple of open spots near the front of the high rock, settling down and looking at Frostmoon to see if she was going to sit next to him.
Hollowpaw followed after Scarletpaw, trying to follow her as quietly as she could. She flicked her ear, wondering what the clan meeting could be about.
Sunthroat turned his head at the sound of the gorse tunnel rustling, catching sight of Scarletpaw, Yellowpaw and Hollowpaw entering camp and carrying prey. The former deputy gave them a stern look, flicking his ear towards the fresh-kill pile and signaling for them to deposit their prey and to join the meeting. He would have to deal with them later once the meeting was over.

Lightningstar looked at the apprentices. “Mist and Pebble. From this day forward until you have earned your warrior names you will be known as Mistpaw and Pebblepaw.” He spoke. “Since you both have a relationship already with Ghostscreech and Willowsong, I have decided that they will serve as your mentors. Ghostscreech, you will mentor Mistpaw.” He spoke before looking at Willowsong. “And Willowsong you will mentor Pebblepaw. I hope you will both teach these young cats the ways of our clan and teach them the skills necessary to be warriors.”

Ghostscreech dipped his head, accepting Lightningstar’s decision. He turned to the newly named Mistpaw and leaned down, “This is where we touch noses as mentor and apprentice.” He murmured quietly to her, explaining the next part of the ceremony.

“I’ll hold you to that.” Ghostscreech said, his whiskers twitching in light amusement. Mistpaw certainly had the dedication and potential to be a strong warrior, and he was glad that Lightningstar trusted him to give her the knowledge she would need. Ghostscreech turned his attention back to Lightningstar to see if he was finished addressing the Clan.
