Book 9 - Chapter 5

"Queens today is your day to prove that you are a worthy member of Fishclan. Today you will be given your assignment. You will be tested on how well you know the rules of kittens. What the kits are allowed and aren't allowed to do in camp and how much you care about your kittens." said Troutstar. "You will each be asked a series of questions, you will get a point every time that you answer a question correctly. Answer incorrectly and you will get no points, and the next question will be asked." said Cedarstar. Question 1, when does a kit get to become an apprentice? (After 6 moon) Question 2, what dens are apprentices allowed to go in without permission? (the elders den and sometimes the medicine den, not including the nursery." Question 3, If a kitten breaks a rule whose job is it to punish them or tell them not to do it again? (The queen or another queen sometimes in severe cases the leader and deputy) Question 4........Question 15. "Fishclan the queens have just finished the  questions with true answers. The next questions will be based on opinion of the queen. The scorer will decide to give the queen 1-3 points depending on the question and the answer given." said Sparrowstar. "Currently the points stand as Darkflower - 14 points, Silverfrost - 12 points, Mossfur - 12 points, Ashstorm - 10 points, Seedwhisker  - 9 points, and Skyleap  - 9 points. Good luck to each of the queens." said Berrystar. Question 1, If one of your kits got carried off by a hawk what would you do? Question 2, if one of your kits was missing and while the clan was trying to help they weren't succeeding and the leader had forbidden you to leave the other kits, what would you do? Question 3, if one of your kits was deaf, and the clan leader refused to assign him a proper mentor what would you do? Question 4, if a kit dies before you can name it, what you say to it? Question 5........Question 15. "We have a tie for first place by 2 cats. Silverfrost  and Darkflower with a total of 55/60 points. We honor you and thank you for all of the life that you have given to the clan, we thank you for the new generations of cats, for without the queens there would be no clan. There would be no new warriors or medicine cats without the queens and for that we thank you very much." said the leaders together. 

Book 9 - Chapter 4

 "Apprentices, I haven't forgotten about you. The other leaders and I have decided though that while the warriors' competition was a fighting competition the apprentices competition is a hunting one. 2 warriors will go along and they will watch the apprentice and they will also follow the apprentice, but they will not give help in any way." said Sparrowstar. "Mentors will not go with their apprentices. Instead the apprentices will have to work together in the pairs that I put them in. They will work together as a team and they will try to hunt as much prey as they can before night falls. They will not kill a whole family of mice if they come upon them. We need prey to live, but we need to keep the stocks plentiful." said Cedarstar. "Blossomfur and Rivera, you will go with Mintpaw and Blackpaw. Whiteclaw and Dragonwhisker will go with Foxpaw and Pinkpaw. Your time starts now." The groups darted away. Foxpaw and Pinkpaw turned towards the moor, while Mintpaw and Blackpaw raced towards the woods. Later that day both groups had done fairly well. "Fishclan now is the time that the apprentices will see who caught the most prey. Mintpaw and Blackpaw you are our winners. Sorry, Pinkpaw and Foxpaw there will always be next time. Warriors do you have anything to say about the pairing?" asked Troutstar. Rivera stepped forward. "Both apprentices hunted well, Mintpaw brought down some squirrels and she remembered to step lightly when hunting mice, while Blackpaw was able to leap through the trees to catch birds, a skill that it took me a very long time to master myself." Blossomfur nodded, "although they work together well as individuals if they ever had to take part in a mass hunting patrol or in partners for a single hunting patrol both cats would probably be unsure of themselves, for never once did they try t o work as a team they never paired up to take down something that might have a better chance of getting away." She said. Cedarstar turned to the other warriors. Dragonwhisker said, "Foxpaw did well helping Pinkpaw learn the routine, of a hunting patrol, and he positioned her well so they could hunt down some rabbits." Whiteclaw nodded then said, "Foxpaw however always asked Pinkpaw if she wanted to go out and work together to hunt something down, never once did he suggest that they try to hunt alone. He looked like he didn't want to hunt alone, and when he tried to he made some minor mistakes that should have been corrected." Whiteclaw stepped back. "Fishclan both pairs of apprentices have hunted well and we shall sleep with full bellies tonight. We honor each of our apprentices." said Berrystar.
