Ashcloud was woken by a thump on her bed. "A.C deary, time to wake up!." A voice as clear as a Robin's chirp awoke her, and she wanted to shout: UGH! But, Ashcloud woke up anyway. " Good Morning Rainswept Flower!."Ashcloud mewed. She hurried off to her closet and pulled out a hoodie and a pair of jeans. "Time for school, I guess.", She thought as she joined her sister and brother Bumbleflight and Thornpelt at the breakfast table. "OMG I'm so excited!!!." Bumbleflight yowled as she bounced around the table. Thornpelt rolled his eyes as Ashcloud sat down on her moss seat. She wolfed down her breakfast of mouse as she hurried to the door. " Come on, Bumbleflight! We're gonna be late!." Ashcloud mewed, as she pulled the door open for her sister to scurry through. Thornpelt grabbed his lunch and rucksack and pounced out the door. Ashcloud waved goodbye to her mother and ran right out.
As Bumbleflight climbed the steps on to the bus, she felt a wave of unease wash over her. What if her best friend Mistytail wasn't at school? What if she forgot to do her homework? She had so many things to worry about that she tripped over Mistytail's feet. "Hey,watch it!" Mistytail yowled as Bumbleflight got up and apologized. "What's gotten into you this quarter-moon?" Mistytail asked, seemingly annoyed. "Sorry, I was distracted by your new PawPhone', Bumbleflight answered, angry with herself. Ashcloud sat down next to her best friend Hazelfur and gave her a nudge. "Oh hey, Ashcloud", Hazelfur said, and flicked through the pictures on her PawPhone. "Hey, isn't that my brother with...Snowfur?" Ashcloud asked. "Sure it is!" Hazelfur answered. "Snowfur really likes him", an extra voice piped up from the back. "Shut up, Robinflight!" Ashcloud said, rolling her eyes.The bus was pulling to a stop, and Thornpelt moaned. Thornpelt's best friend Lionclaw gave him a playful shove. "We've got P.E first today, Thornpelt." Thornpelt groaned even more. "You know I hate Tigerclaw for a P.E teacher, why can't we have Breezepelt instead?" Ashcloud, who happened to be getting off, shoved Thornpelt and Lionclaw. "It's time to get off, flea-pelts!", Ashcloud hissed at them, as the two toms fought and shoved to get off the bus.
