"Finally, some more kits to play with," Stormkit mewed excitedly.
"They won't be able to play for a few days," Lightheart meowed,
"Not until they open their eyes."
"Well, duh," Maplekit mewed. The three kits scampered off, leaving Lightheart in peace.
"I'll go get you some wet moss," Snowtail offered.
That would be great," sighed Lightheart. Snowtail dashed off, spraying dust all over the beautiful queen's face. Lightheart's only response was a sigh. Lightheart rested her head on her forepaws as her kits settled down beside her.
*two days later*
At almost the same time, the two kits opened their eyes for the first time.
"Wow, that's the fastest I've ever seen a kit open their eyes!" gasped Fawntail.
"I'm going to be the greatest warrior the clans have ever seen!" Whitekit squeaked.
"You stole my plans!" Bluekit snapped.
"Stop bickering, you two!" Lightheart gently scolded, her bright amber eyes full of affection. Maplekit and her brothers came barging into the nursery. When Bluekit and Whitekit turned to see the commotion, Maplekit squealed in delight.
"You've opened your eyes!" she mewed.
"Who are you?" Whitekit squeaked.
"I'm Maplekit, and these are my brothers, Stormkit and Brownkit. We can show you around the camp if you'd like," Maplekit offered.
The twins whipped around and mewed "Can we Lightheart. Can we? Can we?!"
"I guess a little adventure around the camp couldn't hurt," she mewed.
"Yay," they exclaimed, dashing away with Fawntail's litter.
*3 moons later*
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath Highrock for a Clan meeting!" Morningstar, Thunderclan's leader, called out.
"OH MY STARCLAN!" Stormkit squealed. The five kits blundered into the clearing, clashing into each other as they made a clumsy halt. Morningstar purred in amusement.
"Can we be made apprentices?" asked Maplekit.
"Not yet, but you will get a taste of battle practice" These words mystified Maplekit, until she realized what she meant. We're going to learn to fight off smelly Shadowclan cats, she thought excitedly. Once all of the cats gathered around the clearing, she began her speech. "First of all, I would like to thank Scorchfur. He assisted Redpaw's warrior training while I was sick, and now that I am back to full health, I can take over her training once more. Speaking of training, we all know of the constant threat from Shadowclan, pushing their borders when they think our backs are turned. So, I've decided to give Fawntail's three kits, Maple kit, Stormkit, and Brownkit a taste of battle training bec…"
"YAY!" Stormkit mewed, leaping straight into the air. Being a former queen, Morningstar didn't get mad, instead, she just purred in laughter.
"I will go with my apprentice Redpaw. Tuftfur, you are in charge as deputy." What an honor to train with the leader, thought Maplekit.
