Skykit smoked into a black cat.
"Skykit!" meowed the other kit.
"Hi, Yarrowkit," her blue eyes met his yellow eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Yarrowkit meowed, his yellow eyes glittered brightly.
"Um, well, uh, helping Frogleap with his, uh, herbs." She reported.
"Are you planning to become a medicine cat apprentice?" he asked.
"Well, I don't know," she shrugged. "Hey, how old are you?"
"Me? About…" he hesitated, deep in thought, before he finally replied. "Five and a half moons."
"Wow! Then that means your about to become an apprentice!" She meowed happily.
"Yup!" he nodded. "I'm the oldest, Sagekit is the second oldest, and Mintkit is the youngest."
"Amazing," Skykit meowed. Her blue eyes reflected the ice that would come in two seasons.
"Yes, it truly is," Yarrowkit blinked.
"Hey, you two, your siblings are looking for you," a black she-cat meowed, her green eyes sparkled.
"Thanks, Ivycloud, for telling us," Yarrowkit meowed, and together the two padded towards the elders' den.
Ivycloud simply nodded at her nephew and padded towards the fresh-kill pile.
"There you two are!" squealed Sagekit, a dainty brown she-cat with green eyes, and Mintkit, a grey she-cat with brown eyes.
They tackled Yarrowkit. "Ah! Help! I'm drowning!" he yowled, with a hint of a purr rising in his throat.
"No, your not," Dapplekit rolled her eyes and pounced onto Yarrowkit.
Skykit's sister grinned.
"Yes, I am," Yarrowkit meowed, pushing Dapplekit off of him.
"Will all of you stop horsing around?" rasped an elderly tom. They all looked up at a brown tom with green eyes, who went by the name of Otterpelt.
Skykit and Sagekit scrunched up their faces to shoot back a report when they got stopped the moment Otterpelt raised his paw to hush them.
"I didn't mean you, or Sagekit," he meowed. "I was referring to the others."
Skykit and Sagekit looked at each other and nodded.
"Well, who wants to hear a story?" he rasped. All the kits raised their paws, Otterpelt grinned and beckoned to them to come closer. "All of you will have to be quiet if you want to hear the story."
Their eyes widened and they all leaned forward, waiting to hear the story.
