Thank you for the reviews. All of you are so nice!!! Here's the next wonderful chapter:
Breezekit woke, the sun glowing into the nursery.
He glanced up.
Nightcloud was already awake, her back turned to him as she chewed at her breakfast.
"Good morning, mother." Breezekit called.
"Mm-hm." Nightcloud murmured in return.
Breezekit felt his heart sink.
Not another day like this...
Sitting up, Breezekit meowed, "I think I'll go see if Heatherkit wants to go play with me."
"Mm... That's nice, deary." Nightcloud replied.
Breezekit scruntched up his shoulders, wondering if his mother had even heard him.
Stalking out into the bright morning light, Breezekit spotted Heatherkit right away.
"Good morning, High-Tail!" called Breezekit skipping over to greet his friend.
His only friend...?
Heatherkit giggled, glancing up.
"Breezy, you know I don'y like that nickname: High-Tail." Heatherkit chirped.
"Well, then we're even. I don't like you calling me Breezy." Breezekit pointed out.
"Mm-hm..." Heatherkit purred, stretching out on her back and turning her gaze to the sky.
Breezekit lay down next to her and sighed.
A wandering cloud seemed to shape into Heatherkit.
Beautiful, graceful, smooth...
"...Are you listening, Breezy?"
"Huh?" Breezekit glanced over at Heatherkit.
"I guess you weren't." Heatherkit huffed.
"What, High-Tail?"
"I was talking about that golden tom-kit I saw yesterday. You know- the one I saw at the border?"
Breezekit nodded slowly.
He and Heatherkit liked exploring, and they often trailed to the border without anyone else noticing.
"Well, he's kinda handsome... But I wonder what he was doing so close to the border... as a kit." Heatherkit meowed.
Breezekit drew in his breath.
Handsome?
"Then I guess, he's just as adventerous as you and I are." Heatherkit went on.
Breezekit gulped.
"No! He's just some kit." Breezekit snapped.
Heatherkit twitched her ears, then grinned.
"I know. What- do you think I like him or something?" she chuckled.
No, where did you get THAT thought? Breezekit thought angrily.
But he didn't reply.
"Come on, Breezy. We're friends, and friends can speak their minds, right?" Heatherkit mewed.
Not MY mind... Breezekit thought, keeping his gaze from Heatherkit.
"Come on, you think some handsome tom-kit is something to talk about?" Breezekit muttered, sitting up to look at his friend.
"Hm? Do you have any better subjects?" Heatherkit retorted.
"Yeah! I heard Onestar talking yesterday, and he's planning on making my father your mentor."
"No way!" Heatherkit gasped.
"Yeah, I know. Isn't it awesome?"
"Breezy, that's amazing. Your dad is so skilled."
Breezekit blushed.
"I just hope I get a good mentor." he added shyly.
"I'm sure you will- besides, Ashfoot is your grandmother!" Heatherkit pointed out.
"Thanks High-Tail." Breezekit purred.
"Any time, Breezy." Heatherkit replied cheerfully.
