Hello everybody! I have taken Prin Pardus's 100 Theme Challenge! : ) The rules are as followed;
* Themes MUST be done in order
* You can take a spin on each theme in any way you like! It's your choice how you interpret them.
* There's no set end date in sight, since I'm not sure how long this will take, as I've never done it before. You might want to check my entries every now and then to see if I've set any sort of date.
* All entries for each theme MUST be at least 1,500 words! That way no one can just take an easy path and jot down a few really short things to get ahead.
Now, here are the themes!

~I will write something to just get us a taste. I know that it's against the rules to only have an AN in a Chapter. So I will write something, not promising how long it will be. I'm not even sure myself. This will just be pulled up on the spot~
Shimmerfrost shuffled in her paws, not quite sure how she should tell him. It was there kits – she was sure of that, but she didn't know how to tell him. Be blunt about it? Tell him out front? Make him guess? There were so many things, yet she wasn't sure which.
"Deep in thought, Shimmerfrost?" A voice asked with an amused voice and she jumped, glancing at the cat that was now sitting beside her. She took a deep breath, relaxing her muscles. "Wow, you must really be lost in thoughts if you didn't hear me coming!" the amused voice purred once more.
"Hi Berrywhisker," Shimmerfrost rolled her eyes at her friend. They had been friends ever since kits; and still acted like kits every now and then. Of course, they knew when to act like warriors and not kits when the time deemed it. But life was too short to live it with such strictness. "How's your brother? Is he getting any better?" She inquired. Berrywhisker's long sigh answered her question. Heronleap, Berrywhisker's brother had gotten into a rough accident with a badger. He had pushed a queen out of the way and saved her and her kits, and some of the cats from the Clan killed the badger. Heronleap escaped – but just barely. He was badly scarred, and his left front paw would be twisted – but according to Icestorm, the injury should heal in a matter of moons.
"Same as last time," Berrywhisker answered gloomily, her tail flickered everywhere in agitation. "I wish my brother didn't have a big heart! Pearl didn't deserve to live!"
"Berrywhisker!" Shimmerfrost gasped at her friend, eyes wide. Did her best friend just say that? "Everyone deserves to live! She has kits too, if you didn't remember!" She reminded her, lashing her tail angrily. How could Berrywhisker be so heartless?
Berrywhisker looked over at Shimmerfrost, flickering her tail once more before sighing. "I know. I'm sorry I said that. I just – I'm angry! Bad things always happen to good cats! Heronleap didn't deserve to get injured!" Shimmerfrost understood where Berrywhisker was coming from, having losing her brother when they were only apprentices.
"I know, Berrywhisker," Shimmerfrost answered soothingly, placing her tail alongside her shoulders comfortingly. "But it's not right to wish someone to die, and you know that."
Berrywhisker sighed, twitching her tail. "So, what were you thinking about?" she asked, changing the subject.
Shimmerfrost's whisker's twitched with amusement. Berrywhisker has always been good at changing the subject. "I was thinking how I was going to tell Larkflight that I was expecting kits," she told her on a sigh. It had been a thought of hers for two days since she knew she was expecting – and she told Berrywhisker first, like she always did when she had something to spill. She knew she should have told Larkflight first – but she was nervous. She didn't even know if he wanted kits at all, and that made her even more nervous.
"Oh," Berrywhisker mewled, suddenly very quiet. Then she had a gleam in her eye, looking at Shimmerfrost, "You'll figure out something. You always do. You're Shimmerfrost!"
"Figure out what?" A voice asked and both she-cats jumped. Shimmerfrost glanced behind her shoulder and stilled when Larkflight stood behind them, but relaxed when she realized he looked confused. That doesn't really mean that he doesn't know, or didn't overhear, she thought, grimacing.
"I'll let you two talk," Berrywhisker mused, standing up and walking away. Shimmerfrost glared at her friend as she walked away, but Berrywhisker never looked back as she walked over to Duskeagle – her mate.
"Talk about what?" Larkflight asked, a perplexed look on his face. Shimmerfrost almost laughed at his confusemeant, and would have if she wasn't so nervous.
"I have something to tell you," She mewled, patting her tail beside her; indicating that he should sit beside her. Larkflight swallowed, as if he was expecting the worst and sat down. Shimmerfrost took a deep breath, and in one breath blurted, "Iamhavingkits!" She held her breath.
Larkflight's whiskers twitched. "I'm sorry, what?" He asked, smirking his usual way when she got nervous about something. Shimmerfrost narrowed her eyes and flicked her tail at him. He laughed, his eyes gleaming with newfound joy. "I'm just kidding, Shimmerfrost." He chuckled, than he sobered up a minute. "Are you really having kits?" He asked, eyes shining with pride.
Shimmerfrost rolled her eyes. "No. I just said that because I wasn't having kits," She said with heavy sarcasm. Larkflight's eyes fell and Shimmerfrost laughed. "Yes you big lump. I'm having kits," she purred, no longer nervous. She had a new excitement in the pit of her stomach; so far so good.
"That's great!" He purred, whiskers twitched as he licked her muzzle. "I'm glad! I can't wait for them to come!"
"And… I was wondering if we got a tom, that I could name one Thrushkit," She asked, looking up at him with hope.
"After your brother?" Larkflight murmured, nodding his head. "That's fine." He purred, nuzzling his mate's cheek with his muzzle.
~It's kinda bad, I know, but like I said I didn't really think this one through at all. These cats are from RPs that I did with some friends, and I own all of these cats. Most of my one-shots will involve my RP characters, and I hope that it will help me figure out how I can join my RPs into stories. :3~
