Here's a little headcanon that may have happened similarly in the books but I can't remember (which means the quote is made up, sadly). The headcanon is that Dustpaw had a crush on Sandpaw, and followed in bullying Firepaw to impress her. But when she starts getting close to him and they become warriors, she matures while Dustpelt doesn't. He continues to bully Fireheart in the hopes that it will remind Sandstorm of their friendship, and he clings onto the hope until she has enough. She snaps at him when he tries to get her to join in, telling him to grow up. This would be the turning point for him, where he realises that Sandstorm doesn't see him the same way he does, and that he needs to move on from his childish actions. He then works on maturing, becoming the strict follower of the code. He and Sandstorm remain friends, and Dustpelt eventually begins to respect Fireheart, and later Firestar, becoming one of his most loyal warriors.
This is just a slight alteration of canon that I like to think happened behind the scenes. I think it's cute and I'd love for Dustpelt to have more character development (except the start of his and Ferncloud's relationship, that's just weird and kinda creepy).
