Bramblestar stood on the High Ledge and yowled out the familiar summons. She motioned for Sleekstep to come up beside her.
"Sleekstep, you are now ready to take on an apprentice," meowed Bramblestar. "You will be Poppypaw's mentor. Sleekstep, you have shown yourself to be a warrior of kindness and patience. I'm sure you will pass on all you know to this young apprentice. Poppypaw, you have shown everyone in ThunderClan that you are ready to become an apprentice. With your high spirits and determination, I'm sure that you will do very well in your training."
Bramblestar stepped back, leaving space for Sleekstep and the newly apprenticed Poppypaw to ceremonially touch noses.

Sleekstep had taken her place beside her leader and sat, excited and nervous, listening to everything she said. Her eyes gleamed with pleasure at Bramblestar's kind words. Then, when the time came, she stepped forward to touch noses with her new apprentice. Happiness flooded through her at the sight of Poppypaw; she was about to gain a friend as well as an apprentice. "Thank you Starclan," she silently prayed, "thank you for this wonderful opportunity."

As Poppypaw touched noses with Sleekstep, she thought of the great times and the terrible times of being a warrior. One day, she dreamed of this moment, and Sleekstep was just the kind of mentor she needed. She could acheive great things with this fantastic teacher.
"Thankyou Bramblestar and Sleekstep. I'll try my best to be a good apprentice!"
A flood of warmth and belonging rushed through her like a million horses through a race. A companion would be great, she thought as she smiled a broad smile, and I guess I'm getting one!

Sleekstep looked warmly at her apprentice, smiling at her words. She was unsure before whether she'd make a good mentor, being so young, but now she felt sure they both could do this. "You will be," she said confidently to the young cat, "you will be."

Sleekstep chuckled at her, licking the top of her head. "You are going to enjoy your first night in the apprentices' den." she said, flicking her tail in it's direction, "And if we both work hard, it won't be long until you join the warriors." She looked up at the sky, the pale moon reflecting in her crystal clear blue eyes. It was getting late, and training would start first thing tomorrow.
