Oceanstar stared at their highstonething, thinking about how this ceremony would be her first to conduct. She missed Wishingstar dearly, but there was nothing she could do about that now. She had to act excited as she jumped onto the stone and called out the familiar summonings.
Her Clan was small, but they would grow. One day, they would be as big as ThunderClan! Oceanstar was sure of it. With a purr she called, "First business is to switch Berrypaw's mentor! As I'm sure most of you know, Brightstreak is expecting kits! She wishes to move to the Nursery now, so Berrypaw, you will be mentored by Yewleaf!"
Yewleaf stood and trotted over to the young apprentice to touch noses.

Berrypaw eagerly touched noses with her new mentor. It was like she got her apprentice ceremony twice! How cool was she? All of the other cats should be jealous.
Grasswhistle herded out Foxkit and Wildkit from the nursery, knowing that their turn to have a ceremony would be up next. Since Oceanstar was now leader and was too busy getting ready for their ceremony and actually giving it, Grasswhistle had been grooming his two kits, whose coats were now glossy and clean.

"Now, it is time for two new apprentices! Foxkit, from this dayuntil you get your warrior name, you will be known as Foxpaw. Gorseheart will be your mentor. Wildkit, you will be known as Wildpaw, and Thornshadow will be your mentor." Oceanstar said. She was so proud of her kits, but part of her wished she had been in the crowd watching and had gotten to stand with Grasswhistle to watch.

Foxpaw excitedly bounced up to his new mentor and touched noses with him. He was determined to be the best warrior ever! His mother was the leader of WindClan and his father was the deputy... he had a lot to live up to!
Wildpaw couldn't help but purr as she made her way over to her new mentor and touched noses with him. She was acting a lot calmer than her brother was. She wasn't quite as ambitious as he was, and only wished to serve her Clan to the best of her extent. She didn't have the same hopes as Foxpaw who wished to someday lead WindClan. (But that would make two Foxstar's. And that. Was not. Going to. Happen.)

Oceanstar watched proudly as Gorseheart and Thornshadow touched noses with her kits. She was so proud of both of them. She jumped off of whatever was high in windclan and walked over to her mate. "I'm so proud of them!" she purred.

Grasswhistle purred and pressed his muzzle against Oceanstar's. "I am too." he meowed, and then with a sad sigh looked over at his sister who was congratulating the two new apprentices, her niece and nephew. "I wish Thistlewhisker could have been here to see them." he added sadly. He missed his brother.

"i do too, Grasswhistle," Oceanstar agreed, "But sometimes things just happen. He's with StarClan now, watching over all of us."
Though Oceanstar would never admit it, she thought it was probably for the best that Thistlewhisker had moved on to StarClan. He was a great cat, but she was scared that Thistlewhisker would have eventually drove a wedge between herself and her mate.

"I guess that's true." Grasswhistle said with another sigh before Foxpaw and Wildpaw came running up to their parents, purring up a storm. His kits' happiness, which was coming off in waves, made him feel instantly better, and he himself began purring before looking over at his mate again.

Oceanstar reached down and licked both of her kits on the head. "I wish your sister could have been here with you," Oceanstar mewed, "But I'm sure she's celebrating with you in StarClan. Now go train! You two have much to learn!"

The two new apprentices nodded. "I won't let you down! I'll be the best and strongest warrior that WindClan has ever seen!" Foxpaw meowed, with a second, determined, nod of the head. "I promise!" he said before running off to go train with his new mentor.
Wildpaw rolled her eyes a little at her brother's silliness, but was still purring. She licked her mother's head in return, and then her father's. "Thank you." she mewed, before going to find her new mentor.

Oceanstar watched the two kits go. She couldn't help but laugh when she thought about Foxpaw, and what kind of warrior he would turn out to be. At least Wildpaw was level-headed.
"I wonder what Sweetkit would have turned out to be like?" she purred absentmindedly.
