"Will he wake up soon?" Lavenderkit asked curiously.

"He will wake up when he wakes up, darling," replied her mother, Sedgefeather. Lavenderkit frowned and furrowed her brow. She poked Nettlekit with a paw. He wiggled a little, but did not wake up, which was what Lavenderkit really wanted him to do. She sighed and looked up at Sedgefeather with forlornness glittering in her green eyes.

Sedgefeather shared a slightly amused glance with the newest queen in the nursery, Mintleaf. "Maybe Lavenderkit could go play outside with your kits, Mintleaf?" Lavenderkit eyed Violetkit, Larkkit, and Creekkit with envy. Two moons older than her, they were going to be apprentices in a moon. Lavenderkit still had to wait for three whole moons. That was the longest time ever.

Mintleaf smiled and said, "Sure. Larkkit, Violetkit, go outside and play with Lavenderkit. You too, Creekkit." The four kits sprang up and began scampering towards the entrance. "But don't get under anyone's paws!" Sedgefeather called after them. "We won't!" Creekkit called back, promptly tripping one of the warriors.

"What do you guys want to play?" Larkkit asked, batting at Voiletkit's waving tail.

"How about we play MapleClan Attack?" Creekkit suggested. Lavenderkit tipped her head. "How do you play that?" she asked.

"Well," Violetkit started, pulling her tail out of her sister's reach, "Two of us are MapleClan warriors, and the other two pretend to protect the FalconClan camp. So, Creekkit and I will be the Defenders, and you and Larkkit be the MapleClan Attackers."

"Ok, but I'm Clan leader this time!" Creekkit said. Violetkit rolled her eyes but didn't object.

"Alright. So, MapleClan, attack!" yowled Larkkit, hurling herself at Creekkit. Creekkit squeaked in surprise and fell head over tail into a wiggling mass of fluff with Larkkit. Lavenderkit faced Violetkit with her head held high, but Violetkit seemed so much bigger all the sudden. Violetkit launched herself at Lavenderkit, and Lavenderkit whirled out of the way. Violetkit landed with a thud that sounded painful. She had obviously not accounted for Lavenderkit's nimbleness. Lavenderkit swiped at Violetkit with sheathed claws. She didn't want to actually hurt her denmate. Violetkit growled playfully and stuck at Lavenderkit's muzzle. Lavenderkit was knocked off balance and Violetkit landed on top of her. Lavenderkit tried to wiggle away, but Violetkit had a firm hold on her.

"Give up?" Violetkit asked gleefully. "Never!" yowled Lavenderkit. She heaved upwards, but only to thud back onto the ground. Violetkit was so strong all the sudden. "Give up, flea-breath?" Violetkit asked again. Lavenderkit sighed in defeat.

"FalconClan has won!" yowled Creekkit from on top of Larkkit.

"Has won what?" mumbled a sleepy voice from the entrance on the nursery.

"Nettlekit!" Lavenderkit yelped happily. Violetkit stepped off of her younger denmate, and Lavenderkit bounced over to where Nettlekit was sleepily standing.

"We were just playing MapleClan Attack," Lavenderkit announced proudly. Nettlekit seemed to be trying to wake up a little bit more. "What's that?" he asked.

"Well, it's where—" Lavenderkit was interrupted by Larkkit, who hissed, "Look! MapleClan Warriors!" Lavenderkit whipped around to see at Larkkit creeping up on a group of elders sunning themselves in the weak newleaf sun.

The five kits crept up on the elders, then sprang onto the closest one, Smokefall. He huffed in surprise as the tumbling balls of fur took him down. "MapleClan filth!" yowled Creekkit. Smokefall cried in mock desperation, "Oh no! Fierce FalconClan warriors! Help me!" Lavenderkit ended up by his neck, and she put her paws firmly—but not too heavily—on his throat. "Do you promise never to mess with this Clan ever again?" she demanded.

"Oh no," Smokefall replied in a fearful voice. "FalconClan is much to brave and strong for us! MapleClan will never ever mess with them!"

"Yes!" Violetkit yowled, leaping off of him in jubilance.

"FalconClan is the best!" Lavenderkit proclaimed. "MapleClan better watch out!"

Ok! This is my first story, and if anyone reads it, then it would be greatly appreciated!

This chapter is basically introducing you to FalconClan, Lavenderkit, and other characters. There are only two clans in my own little world, and those are FalconClan and MapleClan.

Yes, there may be slight grammar and/or other errors. I am sorry if there are! Please give me feedback and I will try to do my best!
