As the title says, this chapter is focused on Bumblekit. First crushes, dreams of the future, getting into trouble, annoying siblings – the works.

Bumblekit

"Sqquuueeeeee!" an incomprehensible squeal sounded. Bumblekit turned in surprise, but suddenly toppled over as something pale brown and fluffy cannoned into his side. Dusty leaves flew into the air, scattering around the early morning sun-patched clearing as Blossomkit fell on top of her brother, her eyes dancing.

"Hey!" Spiderleg spat irritably, padding past. "I just swept those into a pile!" he hissed, trying to paw the leaves back into a neat bundle. "Sure, Firestar, I'll help clean up the camp." He muttered to himself. "And this is the thanks I get!" he paused to shoot the littermates a glare. Clearly, the black tom hadn't softened towards kits since having his own. At least, not to any besides Rosekit and Toadkit.

Bumblekit couldn't care less about the hot-headed mouse-brain.

"You!" the pale gray tom growled at his sister. "You better not call me a bumblebee again!" he hissed, squirming out from under her. That was a tender spot for him – being called a bumblebee. If that became his warrior name (as Blossomkit constantly taunted him it would), he'd roll around in mud until no one could see his tabby stripes – and stay like that for the rest of his life. He really would. At least, that's what he claimed.

"You know, one day, you'll have to call me Bumblestar." The small tom meowed to his sister as he stalked past, catching a glimpse of his father sitting below the High Rock. Graystripe, with his chin raised proudly. He was an impressive sight, a symbol of strength, courage, and loyalty. Though the long-haired gray tom wasn't deputy anymore, Bumblekit wanted to be just like him.

Blossomkit, paying no attention and having no regrets, stuck out a paw to tug Bumblekit's tail, hard.

"Ow!" Bumblekit mewled, yanking his tail out of her grasp. He whipped it around to his side, poking it with a paw.

"You-You pulled out my tail fur!" He accused, his voice raising an octave. He held it up with one paw. "Look at it!" he demanded, lashing his tail in Blossomkit's face. It was missing the end tuft of fur. "I look like a hairless cat!" he wailed.

"A what?" the mischievous she-kit asked, wrinkling her nose in distaste. "Mom told us about them, remember? They're cats without any fur." Bumblekit mewed in exasperation, looking deeply depressed.

Bumblekit was mourning over his tail when Blossomkit suddenly collapsed in a heap of shaking fur. Bumblekit took a small step towards her, concerned, but stopped abruptly. That little….she's laughing! He thought, watching his sister giggle her head off.

Bumblekit spit in annoyance and whipped around, holding his head high. At least I still have my dignity, he thought. Suddenly, the scent of flowers and running water drifted through the air. It was a familiar scent – Bumblekit knew it well. He had inhaled it many times while following the beautiful snow white she-cat all around the camp…

"Hi, Bumblekit." Her voice purred suddenly in his ear.

"I haven't been stalking you!" he yowled, spinning around to see Icepaw's puzzled gaze. The sun shone on her dazzling fur, making it glow. Her blue eyes had the usual sparkle within their depths.

Bumblekit closed his jaws with a snap and sat on his tail to hide the bare end. Unfortunatley, the pretty apprentice noticed this as well and looked even more confused. "Are you…all right?" she asked, uncertain.

"Hmmm? Uh, yeah, I'm….ok." Bumblekit struggled to mew understandable words. "I mean, itsnotlikeIminlovewithyouorhavebeenstalkingyouoranything." He paused, blinked, and then broke into a sheepish grin. "I gotta go." He muttered, padding away with his head hanging low.

Behind him, he heard his sister stage-whisper to Icepaw, "He liiikkkeeesss you."

Ugh. She-cats.

Well, there it is. Like it or hate it, please tell me. If you do like it and review, I'll add on more chapters. If not, I'll take the hint =P Just sort of an experiment.

I took part of the idea for this chapter from a warriors rp site I'm on; a couple of the lines are ones I wrote for another kitten I rp. hehe

Also, if you do review and have an idea for something that you'd like the other kits to do, feel free to share – Toadkit (though I have an idea for him), Rosekit, Briarkit, Blossomkit, and possibly Ivykit and Dovekit still remain.
