5 Ceremonies!

[Midnight]

"There are some cats who are ready to go on in the circle of Clan life and advance to the next rank within a Clan.

Sunpaw, you are among one of these cats. Your strength in battle will aid you and your Clanmates someday. You will receive a warrior. Said name is Sunblaze.

Nightpaw, you are among one of these cats. Your intelligence and quiet decisions will aid you and your Clanmates someday. You will receive a warrior name. Said name is Nightgaze.

Crescentpaw, you are among one of these cats. Your silent stalking and strong pouncing as a hunter will aid you and your Clanmates someday. You will receive a warrior name. Said name is Crescentheart.

Darkpaw, you are among one of these cats. Your kindness and consideration will aid you and your Clanmates someday. You will receive a warrior name. Said name is Darkstream.

Adderpaw, you are among one of these cats. Your courage and ability to survive will aid you and your Clanmates someday. You will receive a warrior name. Said name is Adderclaw." Midnightstar nodded to show she was done, it'll probably be realized that I hinted Adderclaw's survival from the waterfall fall in his ceremony.. She thought.

Sunblaze puffed out his chest as far as possible. "HA!" The tom yowled arrogantly.

Crescentheart purred in happiness, Adderclaw... I like that.

(Sunblaze credit to either Sora, Kiba, or Foxpaw.. Can't remember which.>.<' The suffix 'stream credit to Foxpaw. 'Claw credit to Sora and Mid.)

[kiba]

Adderclaw stood as tall as he could. He was so happy he was finally a warrior. He couldn't believe it. He then looked at Crescentheart and bounded over, pressing his nose to her shoulder. His blue eyes shone with happiness.

Shadowstep, Terror, Lightningpaw, and Thunderpaw lifted their heads and called out their clanmate's names.

[Midnight]

Crescentheart purred as Adderclaw pressed his nose to her shoulder, "congratulations, Adderclaw." She looked at him with warm, loving red eyes.

Mistpaw and Fogpaw exchanged a glance that showed jealously. "Our aunts, uncle, and a fellow apprentice get to be warriors..." Mistpaw complained.

"Stop whining. We'll be warriors soon," Shadowpaw told her littermates. "Sunblaze! Nightgaze! Crescentheart! Darkstream! Adderclaw!" She yowled, her littermates joining in.

[kiba]

"Same to you, Crescentheart," he mewed, rubbing his cheek against hers. He then caught an amused look from Terror and felt his pelt growing hot with embarrassment. He knew the she-cat knew about his feelings for Crescentheart.

Terror got to her paws and hobbled over towards the new warriors. She then looked up at Midnightstar. "I will be moving to the nursery, Midnightstar. I don't want to injure mine and Beecheyes kits with any warrior duties," she mewed, letting the whole clan hear her after the cheering died down.

[Midnight]

When's he going to ask? Crescentheart wondered, blinking at Adderclaw.

Midnightstar smirked at Crescentheart and Adderclaw. She looked at Terror as the she-cat approached and nodded, "I'll tell Sunblaze to move your nest for you."

"WHAT!?" Sunblaze hissed, padding over. "I gotta move a nest as my first warrior duty?"

[kiba]

Terror purred at Sunblaze. "Its okay, Sunblaze. I can help," she mewed.

Adderclaw looked a bit nervous suddenly. "Crescentheart, we clearly have the same feelings for each other. We have known that for moons. Even before I fell over the waterfall. Will.... will you be my mate?" he asked, his ear twitching with nervousness.

[Midnight]

Sunblaze flicked an ear, still obviously annoyed about his first duty. The tom grunted and padded toward the warriors' den to move Terror's nest.

Crescentheart leaned completely on Adderclaw, all of her weight shifting to her right side. "Of course, Adderclaw!" The new warrior purred, nuzzling her new mate.

[kiba]

Adderclaw couldn't help himself. He purred just as loudly, getting a lot of happy and amused looks from nearby clan mates. He didn't care if they looked and saw. He had a mate! This was the best day of his life!

Terror padded after the tom, tail curling in amusement.

[Midnight]

Midnightstar looked at her mate, who's whiskers were twitching. Rainpelt looked over at Midnightstar, "good times, huh?"

"Yeah... They're young.. One of our youngest daughters already has a mate! Her littermates haven't gotten that yet.." She lowered her voice, "Sunblaze may not with his personality.. Maybe some she-cat would fall for his arrogance, but I don't know.."

[kiba]

Shadowstep overheard his leader. He purred. "I'm sure Sunblaze will get a fine she-cat for a mate. He's still growing and learning. I use to be like him when I was younger," he mewed, laughing a bit. He wasn't old, but wasn't young either.

[Midnight]

Midnightstar looked over at Shadowstep, "I suppose.. He hasn't grown out of it yet, though. Well, I guess there's a mate for every cat, right?" She purred in laughter before flicking her tail, "I also want to assign some patrols. Crescentheart- as a new warrior, I'd like you to lead a hunting patrol to get used to leading. Take whoever you wish. Adderfang, I'd like you to lead a border patrol- whether StormClan or LeafClan is fine and take whoever you want. I want to hear a report- whether you see anything or not- though, okay?" Without waiting for an answer, the she-cat turned and padded into her den, Rainpelt following.

Crescentheart gulped, me? Leading a hunting patrol? Great! She looked around. "How about.. Maplesap, Hailpaw, and Lightningpaw?" She decided.

[kiba]

Lightningpaw nodded and hopped up to his paws. "Lets go! I bet I can catch more than you, Crescentheart," he mewed, eyes shining.

Adderclaw nodded and looked at Crescentheart. "I'll see you when we get back. I'll take Kurai, Fogpaw, and Shadowstep," he mewed.

Shadowstep nodded. He pointed his tail to Shadowpaw. "Come on, you too," he mewed to his apprentice.

[Midnight]

Crescentheart smirked, "I doubt it, Lightningpaw!" She ran over to the camp entrance and stopped, waiting for Maplesap and Hailpaw."

Kurai's ears perked. He hadn't had much to do lately, so this was good for him. The tom licked Dawnheart's shoulder before padding off after his Clanmates for the border patrol.

Shadowpaw nodded and followed Shadowstep.

"Great! Border patrol!" Fogpaw meowed enthusiastically, bounding after Adderclaw.
