Note: I'm 15 years old and this is my first Tale Spin fin ever, so please be gentle with the reviews I'm Vietnamese but I was living in London for two years so I hope my grammar is fine.

I don't own Tale Spin or its characters. They are property of Disney. This story was just written for fun and no profit was made of it.

I hope you like it!

WHO AM I?

Kit Cloudkicker was sitting at the end of pier in front of Higher for Hire, staring at his mirror image in the water. He was thinking about his life… his new home and family. It seemed so perfect… like a wonderful dream that lasts forever.

Nearly a whole year had passed since he had met Baloo at Louie's. Kit had never felt so close to a person like this before. He had never trusted anybody like this before. Baloo was like a father to him.

But still… something was bothering him. What was it? Did he miss something?

"I dunno," Kit whispered to himself.

He didn't notice that the big pilot approached him silently. Baloo sat down beside him at the pier and placed a paw on Kit's shoulder, causing the cub to jump slightly.

Baloo chuckled a bit. "Didn't notice me, huh? What's up, Lil Britches? Ya seem so quiet today."

Kit smiled weakly. "I don't know. I'm just thinking."

"About what?"

The cub shrugged. "Well, about… stuff, y'know. School… and…" He tried to think of anything else but didn't succeed.

"School? Seriously?" Baloo frowned.

Kit was silent.

"It's alright, Lil Britches, ya don't hafta tell me if ya don't want to," Baloo said with a small smile. "That's fine."

The boy looked at him. "To be honest, Papa Bear… I've been thinking about my past."

"Yer past?" Baloo glanced at him worriedly.

Kit nodded. "Baloo… you know how… how I feel for you, right? I mean… you do know that…"

The pilot put his arm around the Kit's shoulders and hugged the boy closely. "Yeah, I know."

"But still I was thinking about… my biological parents." Kit looked back at the water. "I'm sorry…"

"There's no need to be sorry, kid," Baloo said and gently squeezed the cub's shoulder. "It's completely normal that you wonder where your roots are."

Kit looked up at the pilot. "Yeah, but… why now? I mean, I have never been wondering about my parents before."

"I dunno, Lil Britches," Baloo admitted. After a few moments of silence he finally asked: "Has anyone ever told you what happened to yer parents, Kit?"

Kit sadly shook his head. "No. I don't know anything about them. It makes me really depressed." He felt a few tears well up in his eyes. "This isn't fair, Papa Bear."

Baloo hugged the boy to his chest, comforting him. "I know it ain't fair, kiddo. I can understand why you feel that way. Ya have a right ta know what happened to yer folks."

"Yeah, but how am I gonna find out?" Kit whispered and a tear slid down his cheek.

Baloo gently wiped it away. "There are a lots of ways to find out about your relatives, Lil Britches. I'll help ya and I'm sure we'll succeed…"
