Chapter Three – The Surprise
He awoke groggily and stretched his arms high in the air. He rubbed his eyes and saw bright sun beams enter the den. Eight weeks had gone by and he could see clearly and even talk. He heard humming and looked for the source of the gentle voice.
"Hello my love, did you sleep well?" It was his mother Demeter; she was tidying up the den but stopped to look at her molten colored kitten.
He nodded, "Where's dad?" He got up and walked over to Demeter but he fell down on his rump before he could take a step, he was very tired.
"He's on patrol, did you even sleep Plato." Demeter walked over to Plato and brushed his bangs out of his face.
"Uh, a little." Plato smiled a mischievous grin and messed his hair up again.
Demi laughed, Plato was becoming a rascal and more restless. He would constantly ask to go outside, but she wouldn't let him until he was big enough and it was clearly that time. Plato was pretty big for his age, he already was past her waist and she knew he was going to get even bigger.
Just then, Munkustrap returned from his patrol. He kissed Demi lightly and walked over to his son.
"I have a surprise for you Plato." Munkus smiled at Plato's very excited face.
"What is it dad?" Plato's ears twitched in anticipation.
"I'm going to take you outside today. Right now actually since the other kittens are there."
"Yes! Thanks dad!" Plato jumped up and cheered with joy, finally he could see what's past this old den.
Demeter was a little worried but she agreed to have Plato go, he needed to learn about his environment anyways.
Once they had gone outside, Plato was already sniffing around and checking out all of the sights and sounds. The junkyard was alive with a lot of Jellicles, Munkus lead Plato over to an orange tabby and a tiger striped queen.
"Hi Skimble, hi Jenny. How are the twins?" Munkus smiled and greeted the couple; they looked over at three kittens and laughed a little.
"There keeping us young, is that Plato?" Skimble pointed at Plato and smiled an inviting smile.
"Well hello little one, I'm Jennyanydots and this is my mate Skimbleshanks." The tiger striped tabby smiled a warm smile at Plato.
"Hi, can I go play dad?" Plato smiled and looked up at his father for permission.
"Of course son, go ahead." Munkus smiled and ruffled his head fur before he left to meet the other kittens.
"He sure is strong for a kitten." Jenny smiled as the kitten walked toward the other kits.
"Yeah, my son will be a great leader one day." Munkus smiled proudly at his son.
((Cliff hanger lol how do you think Plato will get along with the other kits? Wait around to find out lol))
