Hello!
This is a silly story I came up with that was intended to be a oneshot. I doubt it will be more than 5 chapters long, okie dokes? DISCLAIMER: I don't own these cats, I just took out the second parts of their names. Erin Hunter/Vicky Holmes does (Guess what? I met her!)! I would have liked to have these cats though. They would be good friends for my two cuddly companions.

Blue purred as her owners dumped some delicious soft food on her platter. She stretched her paws as her house folk cooed to her and scratched behind her ears. She settled into her warm, soft yet tasteless food and debated her life.
Blue had a nice house with nice folk. They constantly played with her, and the small ones tended to follow her around most of the time. Blue got lots of attention and she loved it.
Just then, one of the little house folk came running in wailing to their queen. On one of their paws there was a small mark with some yucky smelling blood on it. Blue rubbed off her whiskers with her paw and went over to the kit, who was being comforted by the she-folk. The kit exclaimed something and picked up Blue uncomfortably, who pushed her way out of the kit's clumsy forepaws. Blue changed her mind- she did not particularly want to comfort the kit. Blue choked down the rest of her food quickly and then ran out the cat flap, looking for her friend Fire.
Blue found Fire sitting on the edge of his territory, his fence.
"Hello, Fire!" Blue exclaimed, which startled her friend, who screeched.
"Blue! You scared me." Fire said affectionately, rubbing his head against Blue's cheek.
"Stop that!" Blue mewed, pushing back. "I thought you had a mate."
"I do," Fire admitted. "I'm not being like that to you! I just wanted to tell you something."
"What?" Blue asked, intrigued.
"Sand's having kits! I'm going to be a father!" Fire announced proudly.
"Wow, Fire! Congratulations!" Blue said with a hint of jealousy. She wished she could be like that with her love Oak, but he lived far away, and Oak believed that they couldn't be together. Oak lived near Silver, and Silver's mate was Gray, but Gray lived near Blue.
Blue shook her head, she was confusing herself.
"Hello!" Said another voice coming from a fluffy gray cat. Gray!
"Hi, Gray!" Fire greeted Gray. "Guess what?"
"What?" Asked Gray, settling beside Blue.
"Sand is having kits!"
"Really? Guess what! So is Silver!" Gray proclaimed.
"Wow!" Blue broke in. "You're both going to be fathers!"
Fire's gaze softened. "Oh, Blue. I'm so sorry." He had heard the regret and bitterness in Blue's voice.
"It's.. all okay. I just wish that Oak realized that just because we live far apart doesn't mean we can't be mates. I mean, look at Gray and Silver!" Blue's tail hung far down. "I'm going to talk to him. See you later. Congratulations on the kits!"
And Blue set out in search of Oak.
When she arrived in Oak and Silver's neighborhood, the first cat she was someone she knew only vaguely- Crooked.
"Hello, Crooked, have you seen Oak around?" Blue greeted the older cat.
"Yes, he's over in his garden, brooding about something or other." Crooked informed Blue.
"Thank you!" Blue said gratefully, who darted off. A few minutes later, she saw Oak, who was, in fact, looking quite glum. "Oak!" She exclaimed. "What's happened?"
Oak looked up at her. "Hello, Blue. Did you hear the nose? Silver's expecting."
"Yes, I did. So is Sand." Blue said, settling against Oak.
"Well, it got me thinking. I mean, if Gray and Silver can be mates.."
"This is what I've been trying to tell you!"
"-then we can."
Blue and Oak curled up next to one another, and fell fast asleep.
Several hours later, Oak woke up Blue.
"Blue? Blue, get up. Listen. I feel guilty, we live so far apart, and besides, there's this other cat-"
"Another cat?" Blue gasped. "Good-bye, Oak."
About a half moon after that meeting, Blue was feeling dreadful. She knew why, and she didn't want to admit it. Her house folk had brought her to the vet, and Blue knew they knew.
Blue was sitting outside with Sand, Gray, and Fire. They were discussing possible names for Sand and Fire's kits, and some for Gray and Silver's kits as well, though Silver was not there.
"Say, Blue." Sand said. "You sure have been eating a lot, haven't you? You're bigger than I am!"
"Well," Admitted Blue. "Truth is, I'm having kits as well."
"WHAT?" Said all three other cats, perfectly in sync.
"Yes, well, Oak is the father, but he's seeing another cat, so I'll be raising them on my own." Blue sighed.
"Oh, Blue, that's awful!" Comforted Fire, who was in the middle of picking some dirt out of Sand's back fur, where she could not reach anymore.
"It'll be all right... It has to be."
