Jetpaw smiled widely.
"Wow, that all sounds cool! I've always been kinda stuck where I'm at, you know? The life of a Clan cat doesn't really have room for questions like that." He meowed thoughtfully. He'd never thought about the stars more than that his anscestors lived among them. He'd never thought about the sun or the moon or how day became night. He just knew that the stars were there. The sun shone. The moon changed with each passing day. The day always became the night, and the night became the day. That was all that mattered to him.

Lychee smiled and nodded. She knew there was a great difference between knowing the sun shone and knowing why it shone. That was what she loved about being a born scholar.

Jetpaw turned and eyed the sky. It was getting dark.
"We really should be getting to sleep. I've got dawn patrol tomorrow." He mewed, wrinkling his nose in distaste.

"Dawn Patrol? Why do you patrol the dawn's arrival? It comes the same every day!" Now Lychee had to admit these cats were very strange. But a patrol for the coming of the dawn?

Jetpaw sighed.
"It means we patrol the borders to make sure nothing's wrong at dawn." He clarified.

Lychee looked away in embarrassment. She shook her head.
"Oh..." She muttered.

Jetpaw shrugged.
"We're not very creative with names. We have the Dawn Patrol, the Sun-High Patrol, and so on. It's just sort of... I dunno, sweet and to the point, you know?" He meowed, yawning.

[[The two need a naming ceremony, Thistlepaw for Lychee and Smokeypaw for Rambutan]]
Lychee nodded dumbly, still embarrassed. Her sister stood and stretched, and Lychee quickly followed Rambutan into the den. Tomorrow was the start of a new dawn.

OOC: Yep
BIC: Boulderstar watched Jetpaw return from the dawn patrol the following morning. He smiled and nodded to the apprentice, who was carrying a large rabbit that seemed too large for even the broad-shouldered tom.
"Good work, Jetpaw. Would you fetch Lychee and Rambutan for me, please?" He asked. He would go himself but he had been interupted by cat after cat this morning. And he could just see Adderstrike running towards him from the entrance to camp. Jetpaw nodded and raced over to the apprentice's den.
"Hey, Lychee, Rambutan! C'mere for a sec!" Jetpaw called.

"Good morn Jetpaw. How went your patrol? Did the dawn come on time?" She teased with a smile. She was quickly followed by her sister who looked happy.

Jetpaw plastered a horrified expression on his face.
"The dawn was three seconds late! What will we do? The world is ending!" He exclaimed. Boulderstar approached and flicked the tom's ear gently.
"The dawn's late, is it? Well, maybe you woke the warriors too early." He purred. He turned to Lychee and Rambutan.
"I was wondering if you would like me to assign you mentors and give you apprentice names?" He asked, pricking his ears slightly. Jetpaw's eyes lit up and he wriggled with excitement. His friends were going to be apprentices along with him!

Lychee nodded and smiled, Rambutan silently agreeing. It would be nice to fir in a little more.

Boulderstar nodded.
"Sunhigh for that then. Show them around the elders den in the mean time, would you Jetpaw?" Boulderstar asked with an amused smile. Jetpaw sighed but nodded.
"Yes, Boulderstar." He murmured sullenly.

Lychee turned to see Rambutan had disappeared. Such a stranger since coming to the Clans.
"For your retired warriors?"

Jetpaw turned and smiled.
"Yep, you got it!" He purred. He didn't mind looking after the elders so much. They were at least interesting. Even dealing with mousebile was worth it when he could listen to their stories.

"Sounds interesting. So what exactly do you do?" Lychee wondered, a bit perplexed. She didn't think that much care was needed for the elderly cats. After all, they could still groom each other and do most basic duties. Most could probably even hunt if they needed to. So why did they need apprentices help?

OOC: Sorries. I never notice it XP
BIC: Jetpaw blinked and shrugged.
"We change the bedding, check them for ticks, and make sure they have food and stuff. They tell great stories, though, so I don't mind all the gross stuff." He meowed, wrinkling his nose at the thought of soiled bedding and mousebile.

"Why can't they do that themselves?" Lychee asked in disgust. After all, they still had legs and paws and they could still move. Why couldn't they clean themselves and walk to the dirtplace? It made no sense.
