(3 Moons Later)

"Squirrelkit! Get Down From There!" Sandstorm scolded. Her second-oldest kit was running around camp, climbing on top of everything. One time she even tried to climb aboard her father, who scolded her gently and shooed her away- since they're was stuff to be done.

Sandstorm grabbed her kit by the scruff and carried her back to the nursery. She sighed in exasperation as she watched Sparkkit race by to bug warriors.

"Im sorry they are so hard to handle" A gentle voice came and Sandstorm shrugged.

"Its ok Ferncloud; they are kits" The she-cat responded to her and smiled slightly.

"What did I do this time?" Squirrelkit objected, frowning

"Do you want me to start on that?" Sandstorm asked but smiled down at her kit and placed her down beside her as she rested outside the nursery. She hated being a queen at times, but Firestar said she was much more safe and that she and the kits were fine there.

"Oh Sparkkit!" Sandstorm ears pricked as she turned her head and saw Willowpelt looking at the small kit that raced through her legs. Brackenfur was talking to the pale gray she-cat and gently picked up Sparkkit and placed her over by Sandstorm.

"Im sorry" Sandstorm told the golden tom and he only nodded a sweet nod and padded back to the she-cat he was talking to.

"You two need to be kept in the nursery! Your killing our camp and ShadowClan and us aren't even in a quarrel!" Sandstorm gasped.

"What else do we do!" Sparkkit complained.

(Sparkkit's POV)

There was nothing TO DO. Correction

"How about I tell you two a story? Squirrelkit; go get Leafkit, shes in the medicine cat den talking to Cinderpelt" Her mother decided and flicked her tail. Squirrelkit raced off.

Why was she picked out for everything.

Squirrelkit soon returned right in the middle of Sandstorm grooming me.

"What is it?" Leafkit asked excidetly.

"Ok you- Calm Down. Now Im going to tell you a story about your father when he just became leader" Their mother told them. The three she-kits were sitting right infront of her, waiting for the story to begin.

"Not long ago, but long enough- Tigerstar was alive. You all heard of him; Well your father didn't trust him from the second he was an apprentice in ThunderClan. Good enough he didn't; he saved Bluestar's life once. Anyways, once Tigerstar was leader of ThunderClan, he was planning to take over the forest- Now don't get frantic. This story has a good ending! So Tigerstar was killed by this one leader; Scrouge. The leader of BloodClan. A extinct clan now, but used to be alive and pure evil. Your father fought right along side with the two other leaders, Leopardstar and Tallstar. We were known as Modern LionClan." Sandstorm began

Squirrelkit eyes widened in alarm, I looked so interested in the story- I could imagine myself fighting

"Now Listen- BloodClan warriors had collars and wore teeth around them. To show how many victories each one has had. Now your dad lost a life fighting to save the forest at the fourtrees. I was shaken so much at the site, but I continued on fighting- Knowing that he be alive. Later on, I saw him racing and finally- Your father had killed Scrogue. The horrible leader of BloodClan" She continued on,

"Go Team Firestar!" Leafkit proclaimed loudly.

Sandstorm let out a purr of amusement. "Anyways, we lost one great warrior in that battle; which was Whitestorm. He knew your dad since he was a kittypet. But he now watches over us in StarClan along with his aunt Bluestar. Soon enough, Firestar caught my eye- he looked at me with so much relief and ran up to me. That's when our love was truly shown. After all the quarrels we have been through"

"So We Won?" I asked her quickly

"Oh yes! LionClan one the victory and the Clans returned to their homes. Atleast four moons later, I became pregnant with you three."

"Always the best happy ending, isn't it?" A new voice intruppted. It was Firestar's

"Why didn't you tell us you were such a great fighter!" I exclaimed, looking up at our father.

"Yeah why not!" Squirrelkit chimed in before he could speak.

"We are three moons old now! I think were old enough to know all you been through!" Leafkit then added, the three she-kits eyes boared into his.

Firestar laughed. "You three…" He murmured quietly. I could not tell you how much effection was loaded into those green eyes of his.

"Firestar!" A voice interrupted. The leader turned his head and we saw Uncle Graystripe- Well he wasn't related to us but, he was like an uncle.

"Yes?" Firestar asked him

"We found some WindClan scent over the border. We thought you might need to check it out- also a fox's scent that was sort of strong was near east of that" Graystripe reported, Mousefur bounded up along with Sorrelpaw and Dustpelt. The four cats on the patrol.

"Ill come" Firestar decided and he left with Mousefur,Graystripe, Sorrelpaw and Dustpelt.

"Why does he have to go? We can never play around or talk to daddy!" I asked mom, quickly whirling around

"Oh sweetie- He's the clan leader. I got used to not being with him all the time, so can you. You should be happy that your father is leader." Sandstorm responded, resting her tail on my shoulder.

I shook my head no and bounded off to the nursery.

"Sparkkit!" Squirrelkit's mew came and she came after me. I closed my eyes, and buried my nose into my tail as I laid in my mother's empty nest.
