"I, Jumbledstar, leader of ShadowClan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice," Jumbledstar called out to the Clan, "she has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Mousepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I-" Mousepaw began.

"Of course she does!" Limptail called out. "I don't even see why we should hold a ceremony, we know for a fact she's loyal to ShadowClan!"

"Yeah, she risked her life for my kits!" Turtlefur yowled. "Even after how cruel we treated her!"

"That's why she deserves a ceremony!" Yellowstone meowed. "We treated her like nothing but a kittypet, she deserves a ceremony!"

"I say we just call StarClan and name her!" Stoneheart disagreed.

"She needs to become a warrior with the warrior code!" Figitfoot shot.

"Enough!" Jumbledstar yowled. "Ravenclaw," he turned to the black tom, "you were Mousepaw's mentor, you may decide what we will do in naming her!"

Everyone turned there heads to Ravenclaw who sat next Viperfang. He looked surprised to be called out to decide such a big thing. He looked around and began to look bashful. "Uh..." he lowered his ears and looked over toward Mousepaw, who just waited for his answer.

Finally,  "Mousepaw is the hero to all the Clans," Ravenclaw started off, "she risked her life for every kit, even after we treated her like dirt, if you ask me, I think StarClan will accept whatever Mousepaw chooses to do!"

All the cats looked at one another, shrugging or concerned. Then they looked to Mousepaw. She looked down at her paws and thought. Mousepaw was finally being accepted to ShadowClan, was it a sign from StarClan. She shifted under her weight.

"I choose to follow the warrior code and go on with a proper ceremony!" Mousepaw announced. Yowls of approval came from the Clan, some took a moment before joining in the call.

"Very well," Jumbledstar puffed his chest out."

"And I do promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend my Clan, even at the cost of my own life!" Mousepaw bowed her head.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Mousepaw, from this moment you will be known as Mousepelt. StarClan honors your forgiveness and noble code, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ShadowClan!" Jumbledstar jumped down and rested his muzzle on Mousepelt's head. She licked her leader's shoulder as the Clan called out her new name.

"Mousepelt! Mousepelt!"

"Before her vigil!" Frightwing climbed to the top of the fresh-kill pile. "I think this deserves a feast!"

Cats crowded around the pile and grabbed some prey. Mousepelt headed to grab something, but was pulled over to sit next to Goldenpelt and Smoothpelt, Frightwing following. They pushed their prey to her to share. Mousepelt gratefully took a bite of each and let them eat.

Then she saw Ravenclaw come her way with a bit of the hawk she had caught. He set it down before her, his ears back and head bowed. Ravenclaw then bounded over to Viperfang and Brokenjaw. Mousepelt purred at the food and began eating the piece of hawk.
