EarthClan apprentice Ceremony (All invited!)

Lightningstar licked all her kits tenderly once more and leaped onto MossRock. "all cats old enough to navigate EarthClan's tunnels gather under MossRock for a Clan meeting!" she yowled clearly, her sky-blue eyes shining with immense pride. The sunlight that filtered through the opening at the top of the cave shined brightly on Lightningstar and made the golden patch on her right shoulder glow.

Pantherkit grinned up at his mother, black pelt sleekly groomed. His bright blue eyes were excited and eager as his gaze stayed on Lightningstar, waiting to be named an apprentice.

Rainkit waited patiently next to his siblings, his fluffy gray pelt tamed by his mother's gentle tongue. Awe was in his amber gaze as the light filtered onto Lightningstar's pelt. He tried not to show his extatic joy as he sat with his tail wrapped neatly around his fluffy paws.

Tigerspirit sat in the corner. She had been invited, but still felt awkward. I'm crazy, she thought. This is my friend! She padded next to the other warriors, and smiled at the strong kits.

Darkkit's fur ruffled in excitement, "I can't wait!" "Me either!" Earthkit squeaked.

Lightningstar sat silently, waiting for all the cats to gather. Her gaze rested on her kits and Tigerspirit, a faint smile on her face.

Pantherkit gave Earthkit a friendly shove. "Bet I'll be better at fighting then you!" he beamed.

Rainkit gave a small laugh. "And I will be the most agile. none of you will catch me." he said softly.

Earthkit rolled his eyes, "In your dreams."

Darkkit smiled, "I'm gonna be the best at everything!"

"Guess my dreams are gonna come true!" Panther chuckled.

Rainkit nudged his sister. "Of course. We'll all be here to teach you."

Earthkit laughed and nudged his brother playfully.

Darkkit ponced on her brother, batting him with soft, white paws.

Iceclaw stealthily sneaked through the entrance of EarthClan camp and leaped onto Lightningstar playfully, batting her ears lightly. "Gotcah!" she laughed.

Lightningstar yowled with surprise and laughed as she noticed it was Iceclaw. "thought you'd never make it!"she teased.

Panther stopped talking with his brother and growled when Iceclaw tackled his mother.

"Who is she?" Rainkit asked with a small defensive snarl.

Heavystep entered the cave and chuckled at the kits. "That's Iceclaw, an old friend of your mother's a lot of strange cats were invited here to witness your ceremony, guys. Be polite. They are all great friends to Lightningstar." the uncle warned.

Darknight padded in silently after her brother and nodded to Tigerspirit politely. "Yes, this is a proud day for Lightningstar. Her babies are finally going to learn the ways of the Clan fully."

Earthkit growled, "Get off mama!" Darkkit stopped him from saying anything else, but he still looked mad.

Tigerspirit laughed at the kits, "They're so cute!"

Heavystep and Darknight laughed at Earthkit. "Yes, and they have been working hard to show their mother they're ready to be apprentices." Darknight purred.

Pantherkit still glared at the stranger untrustingly. His bright blue eyes were icy and protective.

Rainkit looked unsure about all the strange cats and scents. The rich, earthy smell of EarthClan seemed polluted by all the other Clan's scents and he didn't like it at all.

Lightningstar looked at her kits and gave them a reassuring smile.

"Get off of MossRock!" Heavystep called to Iceclaw, not angry, but sounding a bit annoyed.

Tigerspirit padded over to Lightningstar, her purple eyes bright. "They're so cute!" She looked at them again, "And strong."

Lightningstar grinned proudly. "Thank you. I believe you'll see them at the gathering soon." she mewed proudly.

"I'm sure I will!" Tigerspirit said happily.

"Pantherkit has been waiting for you to visit again, he was excited to hear he'd be able to talk with you again." Lightningstar purred.

Tigerspirit smiled at the the kit, "Nice to see you again!"

"Hey, Tigerspirit! It's been a while!" Panther grinned.

"Yeah! And now you're gonna be an apprentice!" She beamed.

"The best apprentice." Pantherkit grinned.

"I'm sure you'll be the best apprentice," She whispered in Pantherkit's ear.

SkyStar walked over to pantherkit and Smiled. "you're going to be a great apprentice then a amazing warrior and even an awesome leader like your mom." GOOD LUCK

"Nuh-uh! Imma be the best warrior!" Earthkit growled.

"Haha Okay the best amazing warrior." Skystar laughed

Pantherkit grinned and nudged his brother. "It's okay, I'll make you my deputy." he smirked.

Earthkit pounced on his brother, "If I'm made Leader, I'll make you my Deputy. If you're Leader, you'll make me Deputy. Sound like a deal?"

"Yeah!" Panther grinned, batting at his brother's muzzle.
