Tiiiiiiime skip! :D

"Winterkit….Winterkit…. Wake up you lazy fur-ball!" Winterkit, (A.K.A Aspen) heard Bumblekit (Atlas) hiss into her ear as he repeatedly poked her in the side,

"Come on.. You made me stay up with you all night as Silverpelt shined, when we were supposed to be asleep. Can't you let me rest?" Winterkit meowed.

"I'm bored! I wanna play." Bumblekit replied, 'Does this kit ever sleep?' Winterkit asked herself quietly,

"Play with Crystalkit." (Aurora) Winterkit meowed. Bumblekit frowned,

"She's to busy playing with Brackenkit and Jetkit." He mumbled. Winterkit sighed. It was hopeless. She could tell Bumblekit to ask Jetkit and Brackenkit if he could play, but Bumblekit would say the same thing he always does, "No, I don't like talking to others." As outgoing as Bumblekit seemed, he was really shy,

"Alright, Fine. I'll play with you." Winterkit mewed as she opened her eyes wide. The sunlight shined into the nursery and right into her eyes, forcing her to squint. She heard Birdsong yawn from behind her,

"Good morning, Winterkit." She mewed groggily as she blinked the sleep out of her eyes. Winterkit twisted around and smiled at her,

"Good Morning, Mother!" She replied jovially.

"What are you doing?" Birdsong asked,

"I'm going to play with-" She was cut off by Bumblekit, who was halfway across the nursery,

"Come on, Winterkit! You're so slow!" Bumblekit complained,

"Slow? May I ask you, Who won the last four games of tag?" Winterkit asked with a playful glint in her eye. Before Bumblekit could say anything she answered her own question, "Me." Bumblekit crouched down, his haunches wiggling, he pounced on Winterkit,

"It's my time to shine!" He said lightheartedly.

"Get off me, you over grown kit!" Winterkit mewed with a smile,

"Make me." He replied, stubbornly. Winterkit smirked,

"Ok, I will." She meowed and rolled over, causing Bumblekit to fall. Now she was lying on top of him.

"Get off!" He yowled. Winterkit giggled and then made a fake yawn.

"No, Sorry. I'm too tired. Maybe I'll get off after a nap." She said and let out a fake snore. Bumblekit, being much bigger than Winterkit, Pushed her off. Just then from out side the nursery a patrol returned. Winterkit looked up and saw one of her best friends, Robinpaw. She jumped up eagerly, causing Bumblekit to give her a confused glance,

"What's the-" Winterkit held up her tail, signaling to be quiet,

"Look! The patrol is back!" She meowed. Bumblekit turned to her,

"Maybe Robinpaw will teach us some fighting moves" He said. He crouched down and glared at Crystalkit who had her back turned to him, "Or maybe…" He trailed off. He pounced on Crystalkit's tail, "Some hunting skills!" He finished. Startled, Crystalkit twisted around, only to see the familiar face of her littermate,

"Stupid Fur ball." She mewed playfully as she cuffed him across the ear. Winterkit smiled at the two,

"Come on, Guys. I want to say hi to Robinpaw!" Winterkit mewed and the dashed out of the nursery,

"Hey slow down!" Bumblekit called. Winterkit tried to stop running but she slid and bumped right into Flowerpaw, Who dropped her herbs that she was carrying,

"Sorry, Flowerpaw." Flowerpaw was about to yell at her but Winterkit kept speaking before she could, "Do you need any help?" She asked. Flowerpaw smiled warmly at her,

"No, Not yet anyway. Thanks though." The medicine cat apprentice replied as she picked up her herbs and padded away. Winterkit jumped up and ran towards Robinpaw,

"Hi, Robinpaw!" She greeted cheerfully. By this time Bumblekit, Crystalkit, Jetkit and Brackenkit had caught up,

"Hello, young ones." Robinpaw meowed. Jetkit bounded up towards her,

"Can you teach us some hunting techniques?" He asked with a polite smiled,

"Or maybe some fighting skills?" Crystalkit added,

"I-" Just as she was about to reply her Windclan's deputy, Adderfur padded up to her,

"Robinpaw, You, Mudfur, Harecatcher and Silverpaw are going to out to practice." Robinpaw nodded. Winterkit could see a faint glint of fear in her eyes and another emotion that she couldn't uncover. 'Is she scared of Adderfur? What reason would she have to be scared of him? He did nothing' Winterkit decided that she wouldn't be able to figure it out. Adderfur turned to the kits,

"I want you five to behave, ok?" He meowed with a smile. He sounded in high spirits, but there was a disguised threat that made Winterkit shiver. 'Oh I get it now' She thought. In his eyes, Winterkit could detect Anger and desire. She stared at him with a puzzled expression,

"Ok" The other kit's replied. Adderfur was now staring at Winterkit. She felt very uncomfortable under his gaze,

"O-ok, Adderfur." She mewed. She glanced one more time up at Adderfur. She couldn't get that strange look he had out of her mind. He nodded and paddled away.

"Sorry guys.. I.. Uh have to go get Mudfur and the others." Robinpaw murmured, she seemed distracted. Robinpaw got up and stretched. Winterkit looked up at her,

"Alright. Good bye." She replied. Robinpaw gave her a smile and left. After she was gone Winterkit spoke,

"Is it just me or is Adderfur really creepy?" She asked. Her littermates gave her confused looks,

"Creepy? Adderfur's really nice!" Brackenkit said. Winterkit looked down at her paws in deep thought,

"I hope Adderfur will be my mentor!" Jetkit exclaimed,

"Too bad. He's gonna be my mentor!" Crystalkit meowed with a playful smile,

"Oh yeah?" Jetkit asked as he crouched down with his rump (LOL "Rump") wiggling,

"Yeah." Crystal kit challenged as she mimicked him. Jetkit pounced on top of her and let out a teasing growl. She stood up on her hind legs and he fell off. Before he could recover, she twisted around and pinned him to the ground,

"I need back up!" Jetkit's yowl brought Winterkit back to her senses. She jumped forward and pushed Crystalkit off of Jetkit. Crystalkit got up off of the ground and charged towards her littermate. Winterkit dodged Crystalkit's attack right before they made contact. She stood up on her hind legs and twisted around with one paw out stretched. She hit Crystalkit in the side. Her sister yowled in surprise and fell backwards. The other kits stared at Winterkit with wide eyes.

"Whoa!" A voice exclaimed. Winterkit turned around to see Darkpaw, who was staring at her with his mouth agape. Next to him was his mentor, StrangeEyes. His name explained him well. One eye was green while another was light blue,

"Winterkit, You just preformed a battle move that I even haven't perfected yet. You're not even an apprentice!" Darkpaw exclaimed. StrangeEyes smiled,

"You will be a strong loyal warrior someday, Winterkit." StrangeEyes meowed. Winterkit felt her ears get hot with embarrassment,

"Thank you, StrangeEyes" StrangeEyes didn't reply, just blinked. "Come, Darkpaw, Adderfur said he wanted us and a few others to go patrol the border near Shadowclan." Darkpaw nodded and sprang to his paws. With a flick of his mentors tail they left.

"Winterkit, how did you do that?" Brackenkit asked. Winterkit shrugged and replied,

"I don't know." Her littermates crowded around her,

"Can you teach us how to do that?" Bumblekit asked eagerly. Winterkit glanced at them, all eager to learn.

"I-I'll try." Winterkit answered. "Okay I'm gonna pair you with a partner and we'll practice." She meowed, "Bumblekit you'll be with Jetkit. Crystalkit You'll be with Brackenkit, OK?" Her littermates nodded with wide eyes, "I want you and your partner to move two or more fox lengths away." The kits followed her directions, "Now turn to face each other. Ok I want Jetkit aaannnndd.. Uh.. Crystalkit to play the cat you're battling." Winterkit instructed. "When the enemies' or in this case, Crystalkit and Jetkit come charging at you, I want you to wait until they are about a mouse length away, Then you have to dodge them. But you have to wait till the right moment. Now let's try it out. Only the dodging part. We'll learn the paw part later. When I say go, I want you two" She signaled to Crystalkit and Jetkit, "To charge towards Brackenkit and Bumblekit." Crystalkit crouched down with her head low, "No, Crystalkit this isn't like hunting a mouse. You have to run, not pounce" Crystalkit nodded and stood up. "Ok… Go!" Winterkit shouted. Jetkit and Crystalkit shot forward. Bumblekit sat completely still, like Winterkit had instructed. When Jetkit was a mouse length away he jumped to the side and landed on his paw perfectly. Brackenkit on the other paw (LOL warrior cat humor) waited to long before dodging and Crystalkit ran right into him,

"OW" They both shouted,

"Good going Mouse-brain!" Crystalkit yowled.

"Brackenkit, you would have done that perfectly if you had not hesitated so long. Let's try that again." Brackenkit nodded and they moved two fox lengths away, "Go!" Winterkit yowled. Crystalkit charged forward. Brackenkit sprang to the side and landed gracefully on his paws. Winterkit smiled at him warmly,

"That was perfect, Brackenkit." She meowed,

"Thanks" He replied. Bramblepelt watched them intently, amazed that Winterkit was so bright. Badgerstar paddled towards him and sat down at his side. He sighed as he tucked his paws under his chest. Bramblepelt chuckled,

"You're getting old." He meowed playfully,

"Doesn't mean I still can't fight." His father replied with a smile.

"Amazing, huh?" Bramblepelt said, referring to Winterkit teaching her littermates battle moves.

"She's only a kit, yet she has the skills of an apprentice." He murmered. Bramblepelt nodded,

"Who are you thinking of appointing to be her mentor?" Bramblepelt asked.

"Adderfur. He hasn't had an apprentice in a while." His father answered. Bramblepelt growled silently and unsheathed his claws. He began to tear at the ground. His brother had everything, and he wasn't even as kind as he lead everyone to think he was. Bramblepelt thought back to when they were kits. His littermate, Adderfur, Adderkit at the time, would always hurt him. He would never get in trouble because it was always "On accident". Adderfur wasn't nice to his sister either. He would push her and tease her until she cried. This lead his littermates to hating him.

"And I was thinking of appointing Sunspot to Crystalkit. They are both quick. I think Crystalkit would make a great hunter." Badgerstar's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. Bramblepelt sheathed his claws and ruffled his fur to warm up,

"Yes, I'm sure Sunspot will make an excellent mentor." He muttered and focused his attention back on the kits.

Ok that's chapter 3. I hope you enjoyed it! For some reason it was fun to write about Winter kit "mentoring" her littermates.

Ok Winterkit is the smart awesome one.

Brackenkit is clumsy

Bumblekit is shy and often quiet

Crystalkit is the name caller

and Jetkit... I didn't write much about him. Noted. He's small and quick. I'm thinking of making him the brainy one.
