Hey! Hopefully this chapter is a bit more interesting or longer or whatever! Anyways, if you have any suggestions or corrections (that rhymes! XD) for the story, just leave it in a review and I promise I will read it! Enjoy the new chapter!

Aspenkit woke to the feeling of cold air on her pelt, the only warmth coming from the side where Glacierfire lay. Realizing what that meant, Aspenkit flew out of the nest and barreled into her already-awake siblings, who squealed with delight at their sister. She jumped apart from the two, panting happily. "You guys are finally awake!"

"Yep!" Shinekit squeaked excitedly, wiggling her rump in the air and bouncing around the nursery. Whiskerkit pounced on her as she leaped by him and they resumed their tussling. They eventually broke apart and Aspenkit was able to see that Whiskerkit had blue eyes while Shinekit had green eyes like her father. Glacierfire must be happy about that, she thought to herself.

"It took you two sooooooo long to open your eyes! It's been half a moon!" Aspenkit complained at them, then asked in a lighter mood, "Are you excited to see? How is it?"

Shinekit opened her mouth to speak but Whiskerkit beat her to it. "It's great! I couldn't've imagine that there could be so many different colors!" Shinekit growled at him and leaped on her brother. "You'll pay for interrupting me, you evil ShadowClan cat!"

"But it's not interrupting if you never started speaking!" he growled at her playfully and pushed her off. Shinekit recovered quickly and was about to attack again when a purr stopped her.

"Oh, you kits!" They all turned to see the other queen, Emeraldsong, and her two suckling kits in the corner. The pure white queen smiled at the three kits. "It's hard to believe that you're only half a moon old, considering how lively and strong you are already!"

Aspenkit gave a little hop and purred. "Thanks, Emeraldsong!" She peered at the two little bundles of fur curled up next to her. "Have you named your kits yet?"

"Yes, actually, my mate and I named them yesterday. This one," she said, motioning to the little black tom with the ginger stripe running down his back, "is Batkit, and this one," she motioned to a white she-cat with black ears and tail and ginger paws, "is Poolkit."

"Those are great names!" Whiskerkit said, in awe of the kittens, not being able to look away from them. "When will we be able to play with them?"

"As soon as their eyes are open!" she replied, nudging Batkit and licking Poolkit. "It shouldn't be too long now, but you never know."

All of a sudden, Aspenkit jumped into the air as if she had sat on something sharp. "Mousedung, I forgot!" She shouted excitedly, causing Batkit and Poolkit to squirm in their nest, Emeraldsong licking them comfortingly.

"What?" Shinekit asked.

"We can go outside today!" Aspenkit exclaimed, hopping around the room, which now seemed so stuffy and boring compared to how great she knew the outside would be.

Her siblings gasped and jumped on Glacierfire, unable to contain their excitement. "Oh, can we can we can we can we CAN WE Glacierfire please please please please PLEASE?"

Glacierfire growled, annoyed. "Yes! Just let me get some sleep!" The kits were exploding out of the nursery before she could even finish her sentence. Grumbling to herself, she curled up in the nest again and sighed, resting her head on her paws. She heard Emeraldsong purr. "Get your rest and don't worry. I'll go watch them." Glacierfire was too tired to tell her to stay and watch her own kits. She just let her get up and walk outside.

There was a collective gasp between the three of them as Aspenkit, Whiskerkit, and Shinekit stopped in the middle of the camp. Looking around, they were in awe as they walked, taking in the sights of the camp: the warriors leaving for patrols, some returning, the fresh kill pile, and what could only be the Highledge. Then the dens: the warriors den, apprentices den, medicine cat den, nursery, and the elders den. It was too much to take in in one day.

Aspenkit was so busy gaping at the greatness of the camp that she didn't see the warrior before she walked right into him. Embarrassed, she ducked her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—"

"It's fine," the voice said. Recognizing it, Aspenkit perked up immediately and barged into the cat. "Smokeleg!" Her father purred and batted at her ears as she stood on his chest. "I, Aspenstar, leader of ThunderClan, have defeated the leader of ShadowClan, Dumbfacestar!"

Whiskerkit and Shinekit mewed with excitement and jumped onto Smokeleg, too, pulling at his fur with their tiny teeth. "The two other leaders of ThunderClan helped, too, Whiskerstar and Shinestar!" Aspenkit declared happily. "Now give us all the badger rides we want!" Smokeleg playfully growled and narrowed his eyes. "You'll have to take them from me."

Aspenkit sat on him, looking into his eyes, excitement alive in them. "That can be arranged. NOW!" she yelled, all three kits jumping on his face in unison. He yowled in surprise, attempting to bat them off. He tossed his head and they held on, squealing happily. Finally, he collapsed, gasping overdramatically for breath, apparently exhausted. "Fine." He choked out. "You win. I'll give you a badger ride!"

Aspenkit, Whiskerkit, and Shinekit celebrated their victory by howling at the sky. "I knew we could defeat Dumbfacestar!" Aspenkit exclaimed.

The three hopped on their father's back as he charged around camp, yelling like a badger, stomping around in the way that the blundering creatures do. A few warriors shot them looks, some surprised, some amused, some annoyed. Aspenkit didn't care; she was just glad that she was able to spend so much time with her family. Smokeleg eventually had to go on a patrol, so the badger ride was put on pause until another day. Aspenkit was fine with it. Taking a break was no big deal.

As Aspenkit climbed off her father's back, she noticed that they had played badger ride well past sundown. Would Glacierfire be worried? Not waiting for the other kits to get off of Smokeleg's back, Aspenkit dashed over to the nursery only to find Glacierfire talking and laughing with Emeraldsong. Relieved, she backed away before they could see her; her mother deserved as much peace and quiet as she wanted, even if it was just a few extra moments.

She sat alone by the nursery watching the last few rays of sunshine disappear over the treetops. It had been a great day, a perfect day. As her siblings came trotting over to her and they went inside to curl up next to Glacierfire in their nest, Aspenkit couldn't help but hope that every day would be like this one.
