Okay, thank you so such for all those reviews. (I got 10 in less then one hour of having the last chapter up!) This is the special chapter. You all voted for Rusty, so here he is. Firestar as a little kitten!
"Rusty, catch!"
Rusty looked up suddenly, just in time to see a big rainbow colored ball fly through the air.
"Woah!" he shrieked, and dashed from the ball, reaching cover under the living room sofa.
"Hehe. You didn't catch it. That means I win." the voice of Rusty's sister announced.
Rusty peeked out to stare at Princess
"You didn't win." he mewed, his soft kitten voice squeeking.
"I did so."
"Did not. Let's play something else." Rusty said, cralling out from under his hidding spot.
"Fine. You pick, because everything I pick you don't like." Princess explained, her ears twitching.
"Sure." Rusty agreed.
He went silent for a moment, his mind scanning over all the games he and Princess could play.
There was a scratch at the backdoor, waking both kittens from their thoughts.
"Come on. That's probably Spud." Princess meowed, and headed towards the kitchen.
Spud was Rusty and Princess's good friend.
He was older then the two, and he was let out of his house often.
Rusty considered Spud to be lucky.
He got to explore everyday!
Sure enough, Spud was peeking in through the slick back door, his nose pressed against the glass.
Rusty and Princess knew the routine.
They began to mew very loudly, and pawed at the door.
Finally, the housefolk came and opened the door for them.
Rusty bounded out first, Princess not far behind.
"Hey, Spud." Rusty mewed as he tumbled into the soft grass.
"Hi, Rusty. Hello, Princess." Spud replied, catching Princess's eye briefly.
It was obvious the little kitten liked Princess almost as much as she liked him.
"So, what's new in the neighborhood?" Rusty asked, as he trotted around the garden of his backyard.
"Nothing much. Except Bruce. He went into the forest yesterday." Spud explained.
Rusty's eyes grew wide, and he nodded for Spud to go on.
"Well, Bruce came back all frantic, and he said that he saw cats in there." Spud said rapidly, and he glanced around nervously.
"Wow. Really?" Princess gasped.
"Were they nice cats?" asked Rusty hopefully.
Maybe the cats could come and stop by his garden like Spud did.
"I'm not supposed to tell you this... But Bruce said the cats tried to eat him!" Spud murmured, his head lowered and his eyes dark.
"Eat him?" echoed Rusty and Princess together.
They glanced at each other, then looked at the tall fence that blocked them from the forest.
They suddenly felt glad that the fence was so tall.
"Bruce is fine now. And his housefolk are taking him to the vet soon." Spud said, but his voice dropped sorrowfuly.
"No cat ever is the same after they come back from there." Princess agreed.
Rusty nodded slowly, then looked at Spud.
Would his friend be going soon, too?
Then Rusty looked at his paws.
Would he be going soon?
Here's the thing, I don't know what kittypets called the vet, and I don't have a Warriors book at hand. So... sorry if my kittypet grammer is a bit off. Whoever reviews gets a Rusty plushie! Next up will be........ Snowkit! (The deaf kit of ThunderClan!) Thank you very much, whoever suggested this one. This next chapter might end up being a poem... I'll have to think about it. REVIEW!!!
