Hollykit is dreaming about a nursery invaded by hedgehogs when she wakes up and realizes Lionkit has been out of the nursery because of all the thorns stuck in his pelt. She questions him before going to the medicine cat den to find something to help Lionkit with his thorns. Jaykit helps her find dock, but when Leafpool comes and asks her how she knew what to use, Jaypaw says that Hollykit remembered from when he was treated. Leafpool is impressed.

Hollykit goes back to the nursery. She attempts to treat Lionkit, but finds it difficult to put on the dock when it stings her patient. Later on they go to the freshkill pile and Brook gives them some advice from the Tribe about eating food slowly. The apprentices are chattering about their upcoming assesment, when Honeypaw gives a warning hiss. But it's only Mothwing and Willowpaw, who Hollypaw is happy to see. She wants to ask Willowpaw about being a medicine cat apprentice. She follows them into Leafpool's den, and before she can think twice admits, "I want to be a medicine cat!"

QUOTES

"It's better to scare off a mouse then welcome a badger." - Sandstorm, page 70

"'Hollykit felt her tail tremble. She couldn't do this! Seeing Lionkit's pain made her feel queasy. But she couldn't let any of his scratches get infected, and if she was going to become a medicine cat, she would have to get used to treating patients." - Narration, page 68

"Don't say that! I won't remember any if my training if I think that [Firestar's] watching!" - Berrypaw, page 69

"You should eat more slowly. In the mountains we say that prey eaten slowly feeds us longer." - Brook, page 69
