Just then Flame poked his head out of the den and ran over to meet them "so what are they called?" Flame enquired

"The tabby tom is Rowan, the black and white she-kit is called Poppy and the tortoishell is called Dapple." Thunder replied noticing that when he called there names the kits had puffed up there fur to make them look bigger.
