Wolfwhisper of RiverClan: Thanks! I like Big Head Kit as well. Also, Kittypet OC's would be greatly appreciated, especially ones the same age as the main characters! As soon as Middle School rolls around, they could end up being very important, especially if they are in the same grade as the main characters.

Evil Author Overlords: Yep.

Eagleflight1245: Thanks for telling noticing that! I'll change that as soon as possible!

Disclaimer

Pebblewish: Who's up for the disclaimer today? Flowerkit?

Flowerkit: (Coughs) Does it seem like I'm in any condition to do a disclaimer? Besides the fact that I'm sick, I'm not even in this chapter!

Pebblewish: Okay then, Waspkit? You are the main character this chapter, so it's only fair that you have to do the disclaimer.

Waspkit: (Sighs and stands up) Pebblewish does not own warriors. (Pauses) Did I do it right?

Pebblewish: You did it perfectly. On with the story!

"I'm telling you, Flykit has gone mad!" Ravenkit complained from where he sat next to Waspkit on the bus. "He created this huge lair in the sewers with a poison dart frog in it, and he has a camera installed in Flowerkit's room!"

Waspkit stared at his scrawny black and white friend in surprise. "It's illegal to keep poison dart frogs as pets, though!"

Ravenkit rolled his amber eyes dramatically. "That's what I said!" He exclaimed, and after receiving an irritated glare from a fourth grader, quieted his voice down to a whisper. "That's not the worst part, though. He installed a machine to throw out a dart at anyone who attempts to enter his room! And of course, I didn't know that, so-"

"You attempted to enter his room, and then got hit by the dart?" Waspkit guessed.

Ravenkit nodded. "So, of course the dart caused me to fall unconscious, and when I woke up, Petalkit and Carpkit were standing around talking to Flykit like nothing was wrong!"

Waspkit looked slightly offended. "Why was I left out of all this?"

Ravenkit stared at Waspkit in disbelief. "You're supposed to feel bad for me, not wish you were there to see it happen!" He objected.

Waspkit shook his golden and black head quickly, not wanting to hurt Ravenkit's feelings. "Of course I feel bad for you!" He exclaimed, ignoring the cats that continued telling him to lower his voice. "I just had such a boring weekend that I could have used some excitement, good or bad." I honestly just wanted to spend sometime with my friends. Waspkit added to himself.

The bus lurched to a stop in the school's parking lot, and as Ravenkit stood, he added, "Do me a big favor and don't mention this to anyone else." Then he made his way off the bus, not bothering to wait for Waspkit.

Waspkit rolled his eyes, muttering quietly, "Sure, don't bother to wait for your friend. It's not like it makes a difference to me."

"Hey, Waspkit, hurry up and get off the bus!" Waspkit turned to see Petalkit standing behind him, an annoyed expression on her face, and a small pile of picture books in her arms.

You can tell it's a Monday. Waspkit thought tartly, noting how practically everyone on the bus looked either exhausted or annoyed. "Sorry, Petalkit." He sighed, hurrying to get off the bus, knowing it was not wise to face an irritated Petalkit. As he made his way into the school and through the halls, he was continuously hissed at to move.

Finally, Waspkit darted into the first grade classroom, and with a sigh of relief, plopped into his desk. Gorsetail, also known as Mrs. Tail, looked up from where she had been writing at her desk, and brushed some of her grey fur out of her eyes. "Waspkit! You don't have to enter the classroom so dramatically!" She scolded irritably.

Waspkit clenched his teeth and frustration. Sure, it was a Monday, but that didn't mean everyone had to take it out on him! The bell rang loudly, and Waspkit took out a small piece of paper, beginning to draw what he wanted his house to look like when he was a warrior. He drew a sloppy house with a small, lopsided door, and bushes made of scribbles. Deciding the house looked perfect, he went to draw the sun when- "Waspkit! Stop doodling and pay attention!" Gorsetail snapped, "I don't talk for my own enjoyment, you know!"

Waspkit's head snapped up to look at the grey tabby she-cat, not even realizing that she had been talking. Biting back a retort, he sighed, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Tail."

Gorsetail narrowed her eyes. "If you had payed attention, you would have learned that every week we will be taking a small test called a spelling test. I will give you the list of words ahead of time, giving you plenty of time to study how they are spelled."

That sounds terrible. Waspkit though glumly, but nodded to show that he had been following along with what she had been saying.

Gorsetail continued sternly, "Also, since you didn't think that it was necessary to listen, you can help me by passing out the spelling sheets."

Waspkit wasn't sure he had ever experienced a slower hour of his life than the one that had just finished. However, though it felt like a lifetime of waiting, it was finally time for recess. He could tell, by the light of anticipation in every kit's eyes, that all of them were waiting for the moment that the minute hand struck the forty-five. Once it finally came, everyone leapt out of their seats, eager to leave the classroom and get outside. Gorsetail dismissed them, and they sped toward the door, ignoring the cats ordering them to slow down. They busted outside, and it was almost as if the atmosphere lifted. They were no longer stuck in a building where all of their moves were criticized, for a short while, they were free.

"Let's play Truth or Dare!" Vixenkit suggested brightly.

"I love that idea," Carpkit purred immediately. "It's brilliant, just like you."

Vixenkit rolled her eyes, ignoring the light brown tabby. "So what do the rest of you think?" She asked.

The first-graders all exchanged a glance, shrugging. "Sounds good to me." Ravenkit responded.

Vixenkit smiled at her brother before announcing, "Okay then, I'll go first. Petalkit, truth or dare?"

Petalkit looked at the other kits, before deciding on the safe route and replying, "Truth."

"Who would you rather marry, Ravenkit or Waspkit?" Vixenkit asked.

Waspkit frowned, wishing Petalkit didn't have to answer the question. Petalkit seemed to be thinking the same. "Can I pass?" she mewed.

"Nope," Vixenkit and Carpkit said in unison. Vixenkit glared at Carpkit and continued, "If you pass, you're done playing."

Petalkit considered the question for a while, then finally decided, "If I had to choose, I'd pick Waspkit. Ravenkit's too scrawny."

Waspkit wished he could turn invisible as all the eyes turned to him. "Hey Petalkit, ask me one," he said, attempting to relieve himself of the embarrassment.

Petalkit shrugged. "Alright, Waspkit. Truth or dare?"

"Dare," Waspkit responded, not wanting to be embarrassed any further by truths.

Petalkit looked around at her surroundings wildly. "I, umm, dare you to go over to the school, lick the wall, and then lick the ground all of the way back to us."

Waspkit recoiled in disgust at the mere thought of licking the wall and the cement. However, he was not going to be disqualified, so he got to his paws, and slowly made his way over to the brick wall. He hesitated before timidly licking it. The wall tasted like rocks and salt. Bending down, at the same time feeling all of the kit's eyes burning into his fur, he touched his tongue to the ground lightly, before slowly backing toward the group of kits. He had almost reached the group of kits when he tasted something fruity, and looked down to see that he had licked chewed gum. He squealed, and yanked his head way from the cement. Thoroughly grossed out, he began spitting as if attempting to remove the flavor from his mouth. Waspkit then realized he had put his tongue back into his mouth, which revolted him further. Waspkit sprinted over to the other kits, who were all looking at Waspkit with amusement.

"What's your issue?" Badgerkit asked, looking at Waspkit's tongue hanging out of his mouth.

"I 'icked 'um!" Waspkit cried in irritation. However, without using his tongue to talk, his words were incomprehensible.

Badgerkit rolled his eyes, laughing. "You think you're dumb?" he mocked.

Waspkit narrowed his eyes at his brother, and he stopped laughing. "Did you say your teeth are numb?" Carpkit guessed innocently.

Waspkit let of a hiss in annoyance, finally giving up and using his tongue to talk. "I said, I licked gum!" he snapped.

Flykit laughed hysterically, and Shrewkit began to cry. "That could have been Flowerkit's gum!" The small brown tom wailed, "Waspkit's going to get Greencough and die!"

Petalkit was giggling, but when Waspkit glared at her, she stopped and said, "Hey, you asked me to dare you."

Ravenkit rushed to comfort Shrewkit, and Waspkit turned, bolting toward the school doors. Before he reached the doors, he heard Carpkit declare, "Since he's gone, I suppose it's my turn. Vixenkit, I dare you to kiss me!"

Not bothering to stay and figure out the result of Carpkit's dare, Waspkit rushed into the tom's restroom. He made his way over to the sink as quickly as possible, and began rinsing out his mouth with water, only to get it all over his muzzle and up his nose. He jumped back in discomfort, not liking the feeling of the water in his nose. Waspkit crept back forward hesitantly, and began to rinse out his mouth again, although more careful this time. Finally, after almost choking on the water, Waspkit though back to what Shrewkit had said about the gum being Flowerkit's. What if the gum did have Greencough germs? Becoming paranoid, Waspkit backed away from the sink, sprinting down the halls until he reached the nurse's office.

Waspkit rapped on the door, and without waiting for a response, entered. He found himself standing in a brightly lit room, facing a desk where a light brown tabby sat. The she-cat spun to face him, her amber eyes light with concern. "What can I do for you, little one?" The she-cat, who Waspkit remembered was named Leafpool, asked.

Waspkit shuffled his paws nervously. "Well, Ms. Pool, I sorta licked gum, and I'm afraid that I will get sick and die."

Leafpool rolled her eyes with a sweet smile. "Well, Waspkit, I doubt you are going to die. However, you should not have licked gum, it's not a smart decision."

Waspkit huffed, "I know that!" he exclaimed. "But can you give me anything that will stop me from getting sick?"

Leafpool laughed softly to herself, reached into a drawer, and pulled out a bag of vitamin gummies. She handed one to him, and explained, "Technically I'm not supposed to give you medicine without your parent's consent, and a doctor's note. However, one vitamin can't hurt, but it could help boost your immune system."

Waspkit grabbed the gummy vitamin hesitantly, remembering what had happened to Flowerkit when they had gone to get shots. Deciding to trust Leafpool, he plopped the vitamin in his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and was relieved when he didn't immediately fall asleep. Feeling slightly better about his chances of surviving, he headed back towards the doors to the playground, only to see his classmates padding down the hallway on their way back to the classroom. Sighing in annoyance, he walked towards them.

"I can't believe you actually ate a pebble!" Waspkit heard Ravenkit exclaim to Flykit as he approached the group. Hearing Waspkit pad up behind him, Ravenkit turned around. "Hey Waspkit," he said. "Are you okay?"

"I've been better," Waspkit replied tartly, still angry that most of his classmates had laughed at his situation. "But if you're asking if I'm going to get sick, Mrs. Pool said I should be fine."

"Well that's good," Ravenkit meowed as they padded into the classroom. All of the kits went to their desks, and the bell rang to start class. No matter how boring the rest of the school day is, Waspkit thought. It can't get any worse.

Well, Waspkit didn't enjoy that day. However, I hope you enjoyed reading the chapter!
