(Sorry for the wait...I just moved into my college dorm so I have been very busyyyyy)

[Clove]

Clove was very much excited for this ceremony. It was both her's and Haze's first as it would seem. She moved forward as the kit known as hazekit was given her new name 'hazepaw' she gave a small nod of encouragement. "We will start training in morning." After touching noses as she had seen the others do she stepped back and looked for her friend hoping he might have some pointers for her. "SpruceClaw.."

[Palefire]

"Whitepaw! Stonepaw! Slatepaw! Flurrypaw! Hazepaw!" Hailspirit cheered, happy for the new apprentices. She hoped her kittens knew how proud she was. 'Apprentices already? Time really flies. I hope they'll enjoy apprenticeship while they can.'

[Flurrypaw]

I swear I'm bouncing around to much as I wait by my mother's side. I press into her coat and force myself still. Or at least settle with fidgeting. I give mama a audible smile, in form of a purr and offer her a lick as me and most of my siblings are called forth. Then I bound over to Whitkit and Hazekit, tail waving excitably. I listen intently to each name as its called out, then try and randomly guess who the mentor is. I'm so busy looking for Slatepaw's new mentor Frostbite, that I hardly notice when my own name is called. I jerk to attention, and stare up at the deputy with wide eyes.

'Spruceclaw? Who in Cloudclan is Spruceclaw? I twitch my ears and look around, peering at all the Warriors that were called forward for apprentices. Then I hear my mentor's name be spoken by a gray tabby she-cat. 'Haze's mentor, Clove' I note, before bounding happily to the tom she's trying to speak to. I toss my sister a grin, before tilting my head back to look up at him. "Hi! Are you Spruceclaw?" I ask excitedly, blinking my one golden eye at him while my blue eye lags behind a little. I giggle that his features look a little funny to my good eye in this morning light. "I'm Flurryki...paw..." I giggle again at my lapse, my eyes sparkling. That's going to take some getting used to.

[Spruceclaw]

Spruceclaw smiled as his name was called by clove. he turned to reply when his own name was called. he looked through the croud which wasn't hard. Given his stature. he spotted a young cat weaving through the crowd. as the young cat walked up to him he peered down at her. "I'm spruceclaw. hello flurrypaw." he mewed. He looked down at her in confusion as she giggled. His ear twitched in confusion and slight fustration. "What's so funny? He asked in confusion.

[Dapplecloud]

Dapplecloud

As I called the names of the new apprentices, I was pleased to hear I was to be a mentor again, alongside Spruceclaw and Clove, not to mention I was training someone I had met before! Nodding respectfully toward Spruceclaw and Clove, I walked toward Whitekit -- no, Whitepaw, and said "Who would've thought I would be your mentor, eh? Training will begin tomorrow, so I hope you're ready."

[Flurrypaw]

Wait. He did hear the ceremony, right? As he simply looks down at me and answers my question, he seems to not even realise that I'm his new apprentice. I sort of just blink up at him. I'm not really sure what to say now, which is odd. I've never been at a loss for words before. I guess everyone's just always known who I am? I'm not really sure. Oh well. I recover just as quickly, and to his confusion, I offer a toothy grin, peering up at him with one eye. "Well it's morning of course, so you look a little funny." I'm about to laugh again, when I realise that sounds offensive. I frown as I try to puzzle out what I said wrong. "No. That's not right...I'm sure you look fine to everyone else, it's just my funny eye." I blink up at him with said funny eye, the other one still lagging behind a little and staring off into whatever it's convinced it can see. It's odd like that sometimes. I don't tend to take notice. "Oh, and because I forgot my own name" I add, summing up my random bouts of laughter into explanations I hope satisfy him. My ears twitch as I catch my brother Whitepaw being greeted by his new mentor Dapplecloud. 'She seems so nice. I'm not sure my mentor likes me.' I glance up to his eyes, hoping I'm wrong.

[Stonepaw]

Stonepaw sat up proudly as she received her apprentice name, the fur on her black tail standing on end in excitement. Crevicelight. she thought once Flamepath announced her mentor, repeating the name over and over in her head so she wouldn't forget it. The gray-eyed apprenticed looked fervently around for the older she-cat once the ceremony was over, then reminded herself to calm down and regain her composure.

[Spruceclaw]

Spruceclaw listened to his new apprentice carefully. when she mentioned her eyes he inspected her closely. She had one beautiful golden eye. he let a small smile creep over his face and he bent down to touch noses with his new apprentice. "Alright flurrypaw. You should go move in to the apprentices den. enjoy yourself and have a little fun with the other new apprentices. we start training tomorrow morning." He mewed. he then looked at her expectantly to see if she understood. spruceclaw momentarily looked over at dapplecloud "congrats dapplecloud." He mewed. he also turned to clove "just a short time with the clan and already an apprentice." He mewed giving her a reassuring smile. he turned back to his apprentice and then gesturing towards the apprentices den and giving her a reassuring nod telling her to head to her new den and not to be nervous . This apprentice seemed to have a lot more energy than his past ones

[Flurrypaw]

(Hehe, good luck! Knowing Aster, she'll be a toughy)

I purr happily, glad he doesn't dislike me after all. I think. I hope. I shrug and giggle again, blinking at him as he inspects my eyes, which is a little unsettling because he looks like a medicine cat when he does so. However, he smiles and tells me of training, and to go get settled. I nod vigorously and reach up to touch noses with him, as seems customary. "Okay! I'll be up with the sun, don't you worry!" I giggle happily, and then bound over to my little, newly apprenticed family. "Congratulations!" I announce happily, before waving my tail and following instructions by bounding over to the den.
