Hello Peeps, I'm here with an OC kit story! Yay!
First reviewer gets to name a kit of DovexBumble!
For my Saving Switch fans, no, this does not mean that series is over. I'm splitting time between the two.
Fun Fact: I hate chocolate

Prologue:
"Well Lionblaze, you have two healthy she-kits!" Jayfeather purred softly as he exited the nursery. He was proud for his brother. His relationship with Cinderheart was stronger than ever, and it appeared that Cinderpelt was actually gone forever. ThunderClan was prospering, with a total of five kits in the nursery, and more coming, with the way Dovewing and Bumblestripe were looking at each other.
However as he looked at the nursery, a string of words wormed their way into his train of thought, The Echo of a Cherry will hold the Clans steady. Jayfeather stumbled, shock pulsing through his veins, but he managed to right himself.
"Is something wrong, Jayfeather?" Lionblaze mewed, his voice full of a brotherly concern.
Jayfeather shrugged it off, "I'm fine, go visit your kits." Reluctantly, Lionblaze ducked his head and forced his large frame into the nursery. Jayfeather narrowed his eyes, That must've been about his kits. I need to keep an eye on them.
"What should we name them?" A sleepy Cinderheart inquired, her eyes only half open as her two kits suckled. A joyful purr was emanating from her throat, as she stared into her mate's eyes.
"How about...Cherrykit?" Lionblaze mewed softly, pointing to the larger of the two gray she-kits.
Purring, Cinderheart nudged the smaller she-kit, which let out a small squeak as she nearly lost her footing, "How about Echokit?"
Lionblaze replied, "That's perfect." Warmth seemed to overflow from every word he spoke, and Cinderheart felt just the same way as he looked. "They'll be the best warriors the clan's ever seen!"
"Even better than you?" Cinderheart retorted, "Well, I'm sure you love me and the kits, but could you go so that I can sleep in peace?" She purred even louder as Lionblaze rushed out good-naturedly, like the great tom he was. She took one last look at her beautiful kits, and closed her eyes.
Chapter One:
"Come on Echokit! Snowkit, Dewkit, and Amberkit will leave without us if you don't come quickly!" Echokit's eyes swung open at the sound of her sister's voice. She got up swiftly, excitement coursing through her body, Yay! We're going out! Seeing her sister at the entrance, along with the other three kits, Echokit scurried as fast as she could towards them.
As Cherrykit was about to open her mouth, they heard an affectionate voice from their nest, "Hey, you two, come over here for a moment!" Cinderheart rose gracefully from her nest and beckoned her kits over. Echokit purred and raced her sister to the nest. Looking up at her mother's eyes, she noticed warmth and...concern? Why is she worried?
Their mother continued, "Remember kits, don't bother the warriors, and stay out of Bramblestar's den, alright?"
Echokit replied quickly, her fur raised at the thought of going outside again, "We know, mother!" She looked over through the entrance and added, "Can we play with Lionblaze if he's there?"
Cinderheart purred, "Sure, as long as he's not busy." Suddenly, her expression back into concern. Turning towards Cherrykit, she murmured, "Take care of your sister, ok?" As Cherrykit nodded, Echokit mused, Why does she need to take care of me? She's just a bit bigger. I can take care of myself! Echokit turned towards the entrance and ran over, ignoring Cherrykit as she yelled for her to wait up.
"Thank Starclan!" Amberkit mewed to Echokit, "We thought you'd never come!" And as Cherrykit stumbled up, she continued, "Maybe if Lilypaw and Seedpaw are there they'll teach us the hunting crouch!"
Echokit was still thinking about Cinderheart's words when they burst out of the nursery, Am I too small? She wondered. Looking at the kits, she suddenly realized that even Cherrykit towered over her. Brightheart's kits were only a moon older, yet they looked like they were 3 moons older. She was small! However, she shook it off and chased after the other kits.
As she made it to her friends, she heard Snowkit talking, "It should be an easy climb, and then we can all play Leader!"
Looking worried, Dewkit replied, "Are you sure? Cinderheart said-"
Snowkit interrupted him, "She doesn't need to know! We'll hide if anyone looks up!"
Cherrykit responded joyfully, This'll be great! Cherrystar, Echostar, Snowstar, Dewstar, and Amberstar!"
They all sprinted to the rock pile. "Let's go before someone sees us!" Amberkit mewed nervously. Echokit nodded her head in agreement. After checking to make sure no one was looking, Snowkit bounded up the first rock and began climbing. Then Dewkit and Amberkit went after him. After them, Cherrykit jumped up, almost falling, but making it. Echokit stared up at the rock. It seemed larger than everything else. I have to jump, Echokit thought grimly. She gathered as much strength as she could, and jumped. "Ow!" Echokit squealed as she slammed into the rock. She was a bit short of the top.
"Hurry up, Echokit, someone might be coming!" Snowkit hissed from above. She tried again, she failed again.
She had to catch her breath for a moment, but when she prepared to jump again, she heard a voice coming from the nursery, "And just what do you think you're doing?" Echokit froze and looked towards the nursery. It turned out to be Daisy, and Daisy was looking right at Echokit, so Echokit looked slightly up at the other kits to avoid her gaze. It became worse though, as the queen followed her gaze and saw the other four, "Cinderheart told you not to go on there! You might bother Bramblestar! Get down right now!"
Sighing, all of the kits trudged over to Daisy, with Snowkit glaring at Echokit intensely as they gathered. "You five are going to stay in the nursery until sunhigh, and no arguing," Daisy scolded. All five of the kits groaned and Snowkit glared even harder at Echokit. The other three were staring at their paws. As Daisy turned away, Snowkit walked up to Echokit, and heavily cuffed her around the ear. "This is all your fault, Echokit!" He hissed silently. Her head and tail drooping, Echokit walked back with the other kits in silence.
Once they reached the nursery, she heard her mother mew, "Echokit, Cherrykit, I told you not to bother Bramblestar!"
Echokit nodded sadly, but Cherrykit protested, "But it was their idea!"
Cinderheart sighed and used her tail to sweep them close to her. "Don't do something mouse-brained if others do, be your own cat. Echokit sighed and just shifted into her usual sleeping spot. Ignoring Cherrykit's arguing, she closed her eyes and thought to herself, Am I too small?
There it is! Love you all!
