((I'm gonna start with right after the apprentice ceremony, 'cause that's as good a place to start as any.))
Starlight sat silently as the cats of MountainClan crowded around the three new apprentices in congratulations. Only after most of the crowd had dissipated did Starlight speak up. She looked warmly down at the white fuzzball--her fuzzball now. "Congratulations, Moonpaw. I can think of no better cat to be my apprentice."

Moonkit-paw looked up at his new mentor, large eyes blinking as he tried to supress his excitement. it had finally happened! He smiled widely when Starlight told him he was her only choise. His heart swelled with pride as his tail lifted his bottum into the air. "Is it time for training yet?"

"Let's get you settled in first, hm?" Starlight said. "From today on, you sleep in my den."
Starlight led her new apprentice to her den. When Galaxyfur died, she had continued to sleep in the little alcove by the den's entrance that had been her bed as an apprentice. It was habit, and she couldn't bring herself to start sleeping in Galaxyfur's place so soon. And later, when she came to peace with her mentor's death, she still preferred sleeping there. It was draftier than the beds deeper within, but she could also better hear cats stirring in the night from there. But now she had an apprentice, and she felt she should stand on tradition. So it was to the little alcove she led Moonpaw, freshly bedded with new moss.
"This is where you'll sleep, now." She watched her apprentice, remembering the day Galaxyfur had said much the same to her, and remembering the emotions that had swept through her young heart. Pride, of course, and a feeling of intense contentment, but more than that, she had felt as if the whole world had shifted, and everything looked different without changing at all. She had felt like she finally belonged somewhere. Of course, Moonpaw wasn't the shy little scrap she had been, and Starlight doubted he had ever entertained feelings of not belonging as she, a stranger, had.
