Second fic! hope you all enjoy it. I'll be adding a new chapter everyday this week so sit back relax and enjoy the story. :)

I don't own anything

Crouching on my paws I watched the blurred shapes drift and swirl around me. A canopy of warm colors surrounded me, reds yellows and browns. A smell of burnt leaves and peppermint filled the air.

'Mistooo!' yelled someone in my ear, I groaned and blocked my ears. 'Misto get up!' I opened my eyes and saw Jemima's sweet kitten face grinning at me upside down.

'Kmmfff' I mumbled shutting my eyes again.

'What did you say?'

'I'm tired' Jemima giggled and began pawing at my ear.

'Can I play with you? I can't find Electra or Victoria or Etcetera anywhere and I'm bored' she sighed. I rolled onto my stomach so I could see everything right way up.

'What if I don't want to? I asked

'Please Mist?' she asked begging and pouting at the same time. I sighed; I could never resist Jemima's kitten eyes, they'd give puss in boots a run for his money.

'Okay what do you wanna-ACHOO! play?'

'Bless you, and could we play hide and seek? I'll count first if you like.' I smiled, I liked hide and seek. When I was younger I could go for hours on end without being caught, until Plato pointed out that hiding with magic was cheating, the spoilsport.

'Oka-ACHOO!' I sneezed again, this time letting out a flurry of sparks. Jemima looked at me questionly.

'You aren't getting a cold are you?' she asked 'would you like to go and see Jenny?'

'No that's it's probably just some dust' I replied 'count to twenty, go slowly and no peeking!' with that I was off finding a hiding spot among the piles of rubbish that made up the junk yard.

It was much later that evening when we finally stopped playing hide and seek. Soon after Jemima and I started playing Plato and Tumblebrutus joined in. By "law of attraction" Victoria and Etcetera of course soon followed. Eventually all the kittens and younger adults were playing until Jenny yelled that if we didn't go to our dens NOW she'd make us take a bath, with soap AND scrubbing brushes. Needless to say the junkyard was soon deserted. It was a wonderful game.

Except for one thing... I was still sneezing.

'Are you sure it's not a cold? Asked Tumblebrutus as we padded back to our dens.

'I'm sure Tumble, it'll be gone by morning' I sniffed, my nose was starting to run as well as sneeze now.

'Kay then, see you later Misto' said Tumble vanishing into the broken down car he and his family shared.

I said goodbye back then stood still while I summoned my magic. Almost immediately my coat started to sparkle and the sharp scent of peppermint filled the air. Feeling magic flow through my body I jumped into the air and vanished.

"Poofing" into my den I smiled and curled up in my pile of old cushions and towels I used for a bed. My den is an old ice box which is not only roomy; it's also a magnificent insulator. I could hear everything that was happening outside but the only way I could get out or in was with my magic.

'ACHOO! ACHOO! ACHOO!' I sneezed three times in a row; each time sneezing out sparks till I was covered from ear to tail in them. Damn it was annoying but better than being covered in snot I suppose. Blowing my nose and settling down to sleep I hoped that my "sniffles" would stop tomorrow; after all I had a meeting soon.

I've just realised that both my fics so far include someone with a cold. Don't worry I won't make a habit of this.
