Apprentice ceremony

((I'm taking care of Tommystar in his absence until anyone else wishes to be him until Tommystar comes back.))
Tommystar emerged from his den, he yowled out, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here for a clan meeting."
Duskfur sat down as close to the front as he could, several other cats began to gather.

Juniperpaw and Cougarpaw eagerly bounded to the center of camp, hastily licking each other's fur. Juniperpaw let out a purr of excitement, while Cougarpaw snorted, but was unable to hide a glimmer of excitement in her own eyes.

Once all of the cats settled, Tommystar continued, "Cougarpaw, Juniperpaw." He waited for the two apprentices to step forward.

Cougarpaw and Juniperpaw stepped up excitedly, their eyes gleaming in the sun-high light and tails waving excitedly.

Tommystar continued, "Cougarpaw is without a mentor, from this day forward, until she has earned her warrior name, this apprentice will be given a new mentor, Duskfur." He nodded to the other tom, who nodded back and stepped up. "Duskfur, you have proven a great warrior with your loyalty and determination, may you pass down all you know to this, your apprentice."
Duskfur nodded, then bent over to touch noses with his new apprentice.

((Sorry... I am pretty lousy with ceremonies. I couldn't find what is said when an apprentice is without a mentor...))

((That was great!))
Cougarpaw eagerly touched noses with Duskfur, her eyes shining with all the knowledge she would have to learn during her apprenticeship.

Juniperpaw eagerly pawed the ground, waiting for her turn. Cougarpaw's mentor choice had been obvious- hers would be more of a suprise.

((K, I sorta made up a bit on the spot lolz.))
Duskfur lead the way back down as Tommystar meowed, "Juniperpaw is without a mentor, from this day forward, until she has earned her warrior name, this apprentice will be given a new mentor, Foxwhisker." He nodded towards the she- cat, who nodded back and stepped up. "Foxwhisker, you have proven a great warrior with your courage and wisdom, may you pass down all you know to this, your apprentice."
Foxwhisker nodded, then bent over to touch noses with her new apprentice.

Juniperpaw touched noses gently with Foxwhisker, wondering if she would be a fun mentor. She looks kinda serious Juniperpaw thought. Her thoughts were interupted by the yowling of many cats, chanting "Juniperpaw! Cougarpaw!"

Darkshadow yowled for a cheer.

Darkshadow padded over to juniperpaw.

Juniperpaw saw Darkshadow walking over towards her, and nodded her head in greeting.

The deputy nodded his head his type of congrats.

Tommystar then yowled, "I would like to take Darkshadow, Foxwhisker and Juniperpaw with me to the gathering."
Duskfur meowed out, "Are you sure it isn't too late?"
Tommystar hissed at him, "If we don't waste time then we wont!"
Duskfur didn't say anything, only muttering something under his breath. Tommystar bounded down and stopped by the camp enterance. He signalled with his tail for the others to follow.

Juniperpaw raced towards Tommystar, excited for her first gathering. Turning back and seeing the sad expression on her sister's face, she yowled, "Don't worry. I'll tell you all about it when I get back!"

((The gathering is over, let's just say the cats were back, K? Sorry you missed it.))
