I updated! It took a while. Sorry. I'm running out of ideas.

"Where have you been?"

Jayfeather blinked as Lionheart burst through the gorse tunnel and ran up to her. "What are you talking about?" she demanded.

"Ferncloud's kits are having their apprentice ceremony!"

"Ferncloud's kits?"

Liontail stared at her. "You don't remember?"

Jayfeather felt her fur bristle in embarrassment. "No… oh wait." She remembered hearing a snatch of conversation about new kits. "Sorry… I forgot."

"Well, hurry!" The she-cat's brother ran back into the camp. Jayfeather bolted after him, hoping that no cat would notice that she had entirely forgotten about the new kits. She felt a wave of humiliation as she crept up to the back of the gathered cats just as Firestar called two nervous looking kits to the Highledge.

"Turtlekit, Wolfkit, please come forward."

A dappled she-cat and gray-brown tom blinked and crept towards their Clan leader. Jayfeather saw Ferncloud watching from the edge of the gathered cats, urging them on silently. The gray she-cat's eyes were full of pride.

"Turtlekit, Wolfkit, you have reached age of six moons. It is time for you to become apprentices. From now on until you get your warrior name you will be known as Turtlepaw and Wolfpaw." Firestar turned to a golden brown tom waiting eagerly at the base of the Highledge. "Thornclaw, you did well with your last apprentice. You are to be Turtlepaw's mentor."

Thornclaw stood up and touched noses with his new apprentice. Turtlekit's eyes were wide with excitement and she darted off to where Cinderpaw was sitting.

Firestar gazed down as he continued. "Wolfpaw, your mentor will be Sandstorm." The tom blinked nervously, then padded up to his mentor.

The ThunderClan leader looked down at them thoughtfully. "This Clan meeting is over."

Turtlepaw and Wolfpaw sprang up and ran to their mother. Ferncloud covered them with licks as they spoke excitedly.

The rest of the Clan moved away, talking. Jayfeather turned to her brother. "It wasn't such a big deal."

"But what if you miss it when you're going to be a mentor?"

Jayfeather flicked Liontail with her tail in amusement. "That won't happen for a while. We were just made warriors, remember?"

Liontail shrugged.

Jayfeather mewed in exasperation and batted at the tom playfully. Liontail ducked and swiped at her with his claws sheathed. Jayfeather leaped onto his back and bowled him over, pinning him down.

"Okay! Let me up!" Jayfeather released Liontail and he stood, panting. "Thanks," he muttered.

Jayfeather purred. "Do you want to come hunting?"

"You just went hunting," Liontial reminded her. "But you didn't bring back anything," he added half-suspiciously.

"I was thinking," the she-cat told him. "And then you came and told me about the apprentice ceremony." She decided not to say anything about Midnight.

"Ever since the RiverClan battle you've been distracted," Liontail meowed.

"Do you blame me?" Jayfeather lowered her voice. "Every cat thinks we have some magical power. I don't know why the battle stopped when we wanted it to." She decided not to tell Liontail about her dream, either.

The tom shivered. "Let's not talk about it."

"Okay." Jayfeather shuddered. What did we do then? she wondered. What… happened? She pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind and hoped they would stay there.
