Sootie always thought Applekit and Birchkit were so kawaii together!
Now, Sootie has no problem with Whitewing, but what if something else had happened…
Birchfall: Please don't do this! Whitewing may kill me!
Whitewing: For what?
Birchfall: ……..
Yay! Sootie is pleased! Onwards!
"But I don't want to go, Mommy! Applekit and Toadkit and Marshkit are my friends!" Birchkit opened his amber eyes wide as he stared up at his mother. Ferncloud felt a pang as she saw her kits distress.
"I'm sorry, Birchkit, we're leaving tomorrow." She told him. Birchkit glared at her. "I don't like you anymore!" he wailed, racing off. Ferncloud stood up, ready to chase after her only surviving kit, but Tallpoppy placed her tail tip on the yougn queen's shoulder. "He won't go far," the queen promised.
Tallpoppy was right. Birchkit only ran down to a clump of tall grass where Applekit was sitting. "Hello, Birchkit!" The little tabby she-cat bounded to her feet. She noticed her friends distress. "What's wrong?" she asked nuzzling his shoulder comfortingly.
"I don't want to leave you guys behind!" the kit wailed. Applkit's expression sank. "me neither." They stayed silent for a few minutes before Birchkit mewed furiously, "Why do we have to slpit up anyway? If I had kits with friends, I'd let them stay together!" Applekit nodded in agreement. "I'd have two kits, a tom and a she-cat!" she boasted. Birchkit tipped his head to one side. "Three would be better." He argued. "Both of our moms had three,"
Applekit pondered his words for a moment. "Three would be best." She decided. Birchkit's eyes sparked with delight as he got an idea. "Let's make an oath!" he said excitedly. Applkit wriggled with enthusiasm- she liked the idea. "We'll both have three kits," she began. "And they'll all be best friends and stay together," Birchkit continued.
The two tiny kits stared at each other. "And we'll stay friends forever." They said in unison.
Both kits were tired from their long day, so they lay down beside each other on the cool green grass. As they slept, they wriggled aroudn until their sides were touching. This was how their mother's found them a few minutes later.
Ferncloud's heart seemed to break as she watched the two kits. "They'll be so upset when we go our separate ways." She murmered sadly. Tallpoppy nodded sorrowfully. "I wish things could be different."
But their kits didn't hear this. They lay, still and warm, caught up in dreams where they could play together forever.
Nice prologue, no? Sootie is rather proud of it.
