Looking around for Bumbleflight, he managed to catch sight of a warrior- or rather, the warrior caught sight of him. Fear overcame him. Not because of the sight of the warrior- but because he was an apprentice. A cat on his way to becoming a warrior. He had sort of become a natural fighter, having participated in play-fights with his siblings and wining, but the aspect of being able to participate in real battles (should they ever come) frightened him.

“H-hi,” he squeaked rather unexpectedly. “S-sorry, I suppose I’m j-just nervous… hehe.” Gathering his courage at Bumbleflight’s question, the tom added a nod, “Yes!”

He played it off as well as he could, hoping his fear would soon turn to excitement. It had to, right? And then it hit him- his Clanmates were cheering the new apprentices’ names. His name. It felt weird to hear his as Rainpaw, and even gave him a sort of headache. Hearing the cheers of so many warriors, apprentices, elders, kits, and others was honestly overwhelming. But Cr-Rainpaw wouldn’t let it bother him. Not yet, anyway.

Deciding to ignore the cheers from his Clanmates, he looked for his littermates and his parents. They were cheering too, and Rainpaw couldn’t contain his excitement enough to stop himself from waving his tail in thanks.

Mapleleaf looked cheerfully at ThunderClan, her eyes resting on the new apprentices. All she could do was cheer alongside her denmates and other ThunderClan companions. Her heart swelled with pride, even though none of the new apprentices were hers. Speaking of apprentices that weren’t hers, she was a little upset that she would no longer help Flamepaw train. But glad for her, nonetheless.

“Crocuspaw! Rainpaw! Hazelpaw!” She yowled at the top of her lunges, wincing with a little pain from her belly.

Flamepaw smiled brightly at the aspect of new denmates. Of course they wouldn’t be denmates for too long, she had her warrior ceremony coming up in the next couple moons. But for the first time in her life, the apprentice pushed the thought of her warrior ceremony out of her head. Her friend’s son was becoming an apprentice. It puzzled her that Rainpaw’s littermates weren’t joining in on the ceremony, but Flamepaw was sure that his littermates would come soon.

“Crocuspaw! Rainpaw! Hazelpaw!” She yowled beside her Clanmates, adding a bit of a clap with her tail against the dirt, hoping she wasn’t flying any toward her Clanmates. And then she looked around for Sparkflower. She half expected to have Mapleleaf as her mentor, but happy she got a permanent one. Where’s Sparkflower?

Ashpaw suppressed a sigh of relief when Darkpetal showed understanding of the situation. "Thank you, I won't let you down!" with a big smile he sat down beside his mentor and tried to focus on Sparrowstar's words, even if his mind was still filled with a new promise of hope. I can't wait to receive my warrior name! I wonder what Sparrowstar will choose.

The first announcement regarded two kits receiving their apprentice name. Ashpaw didn't know them, but everyone could clearly see how much the two were excited and truly happy. Surprisingly, one of the new mentors was Bumbleflight! His friend was finally getting an apprentice of his own, after all. He waited for the new pair to touch noses and then walked toward them. The creamy brown warrior looked radiant. "Bumblefligtht! Congrats, I can see that you're making much progress!" he said, purring with real pleasure. "I'm sure that you'll be a wonderful mentor, you taught me so well and were always available to help out other cats."

He turned to Rainpaw, a little dark brown tom that looked very similar to Bumbleflight. "And, of course, congrats to you too. I've learnt a lot from your new mentor, and I'm sure you will do it too. You can trust him." Ashpaw was sure that the pair would do well, but he reminded himself to check up on them some time. I look forward to hear how Bumbleflight will do!

It seems that today was a wonderful day for good news. Finally the clearing was full with cheerful chattering, and the apprentices' den was very full and ready to bring new warriors to Thunderclan. But, glancing at Sparrowstar, Ashpaw had the impression that their leader had other on her mind. Maybe she's thinking about the newcomer? He doesn't seem bad after all. He abandoned the thought with a lash of his tail, and at the right moment he joined the rest of the clan to chant the new names: "Rainpaw! Hazelpaw! Crocuspaw!"

He was happy that a trustworthy cat would be responsible for one of the new warriors. “Congratulations,” Darkpetal purred kindly.

"It's fine if you're nervous," Bumbleflight said in a reassuring tone, offering his new apprentice what he hoped was a calming smile. He remembered his own apprentice ceremony and, while he was more excited than nervous then, he certainly understood how Rainpaw felt. "We'll be working hard. So be ready!"

His right ear then picked up the sound of cats approaching and twitched, and the dark brown tabby looked over to see Ashpaw and Darkpetal approach, congratulating the both of them. Bumbleflight felt a bit flustered when Ashpaw started praising him like he was some great warrior, joined with Darkpetal's, simply for helping train him. Was it really that special? Eh... He didn't know how to take compliments so, instead, he licked his cream-colored chest in an attempt to cool down.

"Thanks you two," Bumbleflight said after a few moments. "Perhaps we could have a training session together, if you'd like. What do you think, Rainpaw?"
