Hai! I'm back! I just now noticed that I might not have made it clear, but Justin the kittypet is a kit, just a little bit older then our favorite triplets (Mosskit, Duckkit, and Leopardkit). Just to say.

Thanks for the lovely reviews from Anidori-Isilee and katzsoa!

Chapter 2

"Mosskit! This way! Quick!" Duckkit scrambled beneath a tree root, Mosskit close behind. They both knew she could overcome him should the desire take her, but she was content to let him lead her to whatever adventure he had in mind. He led them around trees and rocks, wading through the many small streams that ran through the territory. Mosskit looked up; the sun had disappeared behind clouds; it was impossible to tell how long it had been since they left.

"Mosskit! Check this out!" Duckkit had stumbled upon . . . something. It was tall and brown, spiked at the top. "What is it?" Duckkit voiced the question that had plagued both their minds.

"You've never seen a fence before?" They both whirled around; a kit was there, looking at them.

Mosskit shook her head as Duckkit replied. "No. Who're you?" The kit was white, with dark paws.

"M'name's Justin. Who're you?"

"I'm Duckkit and this is my sister, Mosskit." Duckkit nodded to his sibling white subconsciously stepping in front of her.

"Huh. Where're you from?" Justin took a step towards them, seemingly unafraid of his new acquaintances.

"We're from CavernClan! The greatest clan there is!" Duckkit declared this proudly, puffing out his chest. Mosskit nodded fiercely behind him.

"Why don't you talk?" Justin stepped past Duckkit easily; Justin was a bit larger then Mosskit brother. Mosskit opened and closed her mouth, pinning her ears against her head.

"She can't!" Duckkit moved to leap between them again, standing up and coiling his muscles.

"You can't talk?" Justin looked to Mosskit for confirmation, and she nodded. "Oh. Must be hard to make friends . . ." Mosskit slightly narrowed her eyes, cocking her head to one side. "Do you not have friends in your clan?"

"We're a clan." Duckkit walked over and sat next to Mosskit, deciding that Justin wasn't a horrible threat. "We're family."

"Oh." Justin was quiet for a moment, contemplating this. "Then I can be your first friend!" He grinned largely and curled his tail around his feet, evidently proud of himself for thinking of the idea.

"Cool!" Duckkit may have been wary of Justin, but he was a kit, and every kit is eager for a new friend.

So the kits played for a while by the fence, wrestling and chasing each other. At one point Mosskit found a small down feather, and the boys chased her for it, but she was fast, and quick, and despite Justin's longer legs, she easily kept ahead of them both.

"Justin dear!" The three stopped their chase to hear the voice. "Time to eat!"

Justin shyly pinned back his ears and sat back. "That's Cali, my mother. Will you be here tomorrow?" Mosskit nodded eagerly, and Duckkit followed suit. "Great!" Justin smiled hugely at them. "Coming Cali!" He yowled. He waved his tail at the siblings and was quickly over the fence.

"We should head home." Duckkit started setting off away from the fence, and he and Mosskit smelled their way back from their previous path. On the way home, they lost the trail several times, but overall managed to catch it again. They dashed into the cave and listened for their mother.

"Mudfoot?" Duckkit tentatively called out into the darkness.

"Duckkit?" Mudfoot trotted toward them. "I hope you and Mosskit had fun, you missed a meal. Come in when I call you, or you won't get to eat. Now come on, your sister is waiting."

Duckkit and Mosskit sighed with relief; Mudfoot hadn't caught their absence. They followed their mother in, eager for tomorrow to come.

Okay, end of chapter two. Now, I know what some of you are thinking. "What! How could Mudfoot not notice that two of her kits are missing!" Well, the thing is, that if you left your kid alone in the living room of your house near the door when it was dark and rainy outside, would you really think that they'd run off? And Mudfoot knows what Duckkit is like; if she had peeked in, she had figured that they were hiding or something. She didn't figure he was adventurous enough to actually run off. And Leopardkit is a bit feminine; she'd want to stay in the nursery and groom with her mom. Plus, I couldn't have them being watched over for the rest of the story! They have to go see Justin next chapter! :D

PS: Sorry if this chapter is kinda short; I'm trying to make them as long as I can. -_- Probably failing.
