Splashkit mewed. She started to squirm. She crawled closer to Heatherbird. Splashkit was much younger than Sparrowkit and Patchkit, but she ended up opening her eyes first. Splashkit looked around the nursery. It was huge! Splashkit blinked a few times to make sure she wasn't dreaming that the nursery was big.

Hahahahahahahahahh!!!!!!! I love the dancing stormtroopers!

HmMMM- wait i can't love my mom?" he obviously was joking. he wouldn't be surprise if gorsebird did catch onto it. a small fits of giggles came from him before he straighten himself. stormglare inwardly rolled his eyes," yes of course. kits would hiss at the only one they trust right now. newborn kits hissing at their mothers, wow. " he snorted, the tom paused for a second. " i don't like she-cats. your just a cover up. " stormglare knew this was a giveaway. he didn't agree with.. `homosexuals`. he found it rather gross. he bent down, licking his paw like nothing happened. finally his expression burst, he broke down, laughing. "b..eau.uty.. don..t..kil...l... me... it was.. a jo..ke... l.ighten... up.."

Gorsebird out a little mew her eyes gazing at her paws as her bottom lip quivered. "T-T-Thanks for t-t-t-telling m-m-mm-me. A-a-a-and y-you can l-love your M-M-M-M-M-Mommy even I love y-y-your Mommy she's p-pretty and sweet. " She sputtered not knowing what to say as real tears brimmed her eyes making them beyond glassy. Gorsebird even knew he was probably joking but that didn't stop her from feeling horrible. "T-t-t-tt-they t-t-trust y-y--y-ou to you're their h-h-h-h-handsome Daddy! A-a-a-a-nd they d-d-d-d-did hiss quit m-m-m-making fun of me!" She sniffled before all but dumping all the kittens in Stormglare's big paws and turning away hiccuping slightly unable to take any more. "I-I-I--I-I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Gorsebird bawled as she trembled like a leaf smelling the slight tang of blood as her nose started to drip with it. She then, of course, blamed Stormglare for the nosebleed. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Gorsebird continued to sob her body aching from the fact that she was still delicate and in need of rest from the birth.

She had felt like a fourth, and sometimes even fith wheel. They had always been play hunting with pebbles and sticks and rough housing and though Mothpaw enjoyed most of that stuff she could not stand it when they tussled around with warrior moves that she didn't know how to do. Sometimes she had even wondered if Lynxpaw was really her best friend. At least in their little group there was Larkpaw, despite the fact that Lynxpaw flirted with her she was a wonderful molly and Mothpaw respected her for it. However Mothpaw knew that no matter how much time Lynxpaw spent with his tom friends she knew that she would always be his best friend. He had tried to teach her how to hunt [probably he had copied Hunterfang with the teaching method] but she had learned somehting from it and might actually be able to hunt so that would mean being a half decent warrior. If not she could be a forever queen like her mother, though ahe thought that might be boring, [no offense to Fawnfern] but it just seemed boring. Anyway, he had helped her. "Waiting for her?" She asked, giggling at the thought, "She probably forgot I exist by now!" It was most likely, especially with the way Lemonspotted acted around everyone. Mothpaw shook her head to clear the thoughts of her mentor before speaking. "Anyway, what are you going to do today?"

Lynxpaw didn't mind the little jab about his own mother. Instead, he had chuckled along with Mothpaw. ''Exactly, waiting for her...when she'll never come around.'' He flicked his tail dismissively, still wondering how in the world Lemonspotted was chosen to be a mentor. In all respect, Lynxpaw felt his own mother needed the mentor. Or, someone to look after her because she was quite hazardous. ''I pity you, Mothy. I really do.'' His tone held light teasing, but his statement was set to be true. He laid the tip of his tail on her shoulder for a moment, ''Have you been practicing the hunting technique I showed you?'' He asked her, withdrawing his tail to happily swish it back and forth. The tom didn't expect to run into Mothpaw; not that he didn't want her company. He actually enjoyed her company quite a lot, but he was still young, and in the mindset of being around his own reckless gender. Mothpaw enjoyed the roughhousing that he done with his tom friends, but each time he laid eyes on her...he felt she was too fragile to play with. He usually got a little defensive when the other toms played a little too roughly with Mothpaw. ''Don't take it too heart,'' He had rolled his eyes, muttering something inaudible about his mother. ''She forgets about her own kits,'' He laughed. It was such a tragic thought, but all too humorous for him. Lynxpaw had met Fawnfern, and he seen Weaselshade from a distance. He recalled Mothpaw telling him that her parents argued a lot, and it reminded him of his own parents. His father was always chasing after his estranged mother...family life was just too stressful, which was why the older apprentice focused on his friends. Who were like his family. He thanked Starclan for that everyday. Lynxpaw blinked his eyes, regaining his composure when Mothpaw addressed him once more. ''Huh?'' He squinted his eyes. He couldn't make out what she said for a moment as he was lost in oblivion, but then it clicked in his moment a second later and he shook his head to clear his thoughts. ''Oh, well I was about to - '' Pausing. He wanted to say that he was about to look for one of his male friends, but noting how excited Mothpaw was when she greeted him...it made him feel bad about rushing away from her. He hadn't been spending much time with her as a best friend would. After all, she was his first friend. His best friend. He would had felt like a fox-heart if he pushed her aside like she were unwanted company. ''I didn't really have anything planned.'' He rephrased his words, wetting his jaws with his tongue. ''Hunterfang let me have a break - I've been working hard, you know, Mothy. Soon, I'll be a professional and no one would be able to beat me!'' He purred, arrogantly. The ever-so-confident feline put on a smirk.

And if I'm going to get a mentor who asks me to get moss for elders it would be good to know before hand . " he meowed he had a smile on his face . He was the kind of tom that wanted to know things ahead of time even things that were meant for warriors to learn . Like how to use some of the herbs in case a medicine cat or med apprentice isn't available or learn how to use those really cool yet complicated battle moves so he could protect his sister and himself and others if needed. He may be seen as a tom who grows up way too fast but he thinks of it as being prepared . Wolfpaw blinked as her whiskers twitched she leaned forward a bit her ears twitched and pointed forward as well " I think it would be best to go with like mudpaw said and also you don't know what kind of trouble that can happen " she meowed now standing up her tail flicked as she looked around and back at petalpaw .

Petalpaw nodded happily, "Sure! It'll be good to have some company, I don't like being alone much, anyway." The apprentice tilted her head and looked at Wolfpaw with wide eyes, "I've heard that sometimes loners and rogues roam the forest. Two of us won't make any difference, how 'bout you come, too? I don't wanna leave you alone out here, that would make you sad." Waiting for Wolfpaw's answer, she slowly stepped back towards the forest, watching the two siblings. She never liked going into the forest alone, and she had been told many times that apprentices and kits weren't safe all alone in the forest. Petalpaw had never actually been deeper into the forest than the moss clumps sitting near the edges because her mentor hadn't taken her out to hunt yet.

Wishpaw trotted into the clearing. Her eyes immediately rested on Tempestkit, who she had grown find of, with his boisterous personality. Just as a casual conversation starter, she batted around a ball of moss, hoping that he would join in. (Tempestkit is a boy right?)

Thistlepaw... Thistledown now, stood beneath the Breezerock, with his head high and feeling like the biggest cat in the clan. A warrior. At last, he was a warrior! Moons ago, he never would have thought it was possible. He had always thought he would be too small to serve his clan, but here he was now, trained to fight and hunt just like the rest of Windclan. The tom looked over the crowd for his mentor among his clanmates who were cheering his new name.

Mudpaw smiled his head was held high " well alright then lead the way fearless leader " he meowed with a twitch of his whiskers he looked at his sister who nodded with a smile as well " thank you for the invite petalpaw " she meowed . Mudpaw padded forward a few mouse lengths he looked excited to go he was tired of laying around and doing nothing " c'mon let's go before night fall. Then there will be a high chance of rogues and loners in the forest " he meowed twitching his tail he had a shine in his eyes he didn't like rogues or loners much they seemed so savage to him . And worst of all they didn't believe in starclan! He wondered where rogues and loners go to after they die if not starclan or the darkforest did they have any ancestors that they pray to? Or are they just that , a savage ? He didn't know but he didn't want to meet one any ways even if it was just for that piece of information . Wolfpaw twitched her ears and nodded in agreement with her brother .

The soft scent of heather that washed over the moor send pleasant shivers down Rosethorn's spine as she made her way through the tall grasses of the WindClan territory, following the few paths made from constant traffic flattening the grasses and disrupting plant growth. The she-cat raised her head to look around, spotting a rustle in the grass just to her right. She sank into a crouch, her tail slowly lowering to the ground and brushing gently over the dirt. She could make out the faint scent of rabbit under the strong smell of heather and juniper, and that was all she needed. She sped forward and sprang out at a large, grey-pelted hare. It was on the skinny side, and definitely quick. She chased after the rabbit, gaining on it slowly. The hare's back feet kicked up dust and debris as it ran, raking its claws through the dirt and nearly catching Rosethorn's chin as she pounced on it. The two rolled through the dirt, cat wrestling with rabbit until finally she managed to pin it down. Already the hare was pushing against her with its strong back legs, its claws digging into her chest. She nipped it by the throat, swiftly killing the thing before it could do any damage or run away. She huffed slightly, sides heaving. A proud smile flickered onto her face and she picked up the prey, ready to start heading back to camp with her massive catch.

Surgestorm excitedly rattled off his news about his new apprentice before seeming to realize he wasn’t giving him a chance to answer. Truth be told, he found the younger tom’s energy refreshing. “Hope so. That’s exciting,” he said in response to the assurance that the apprentice would likely be around later. “I’m doing well. That tip about the comfrey has worked wonders,” he added with a good-natured purr. “Hope you don’t mind but since I’m still learning all of this myself,” he gestured with his tail to the unsorted herbs Surgestorm had been busying himself with, “I hoped you had some time to share a few more tips. If you’re not all mentored out that is.”

Surgestorm's grin widened, his yellow orbs twinkling. "I'm glad it's working," He meowed, nodding along as the tom spoke. At his final few words, the ebony tom shook his head with a laugh. "No, no, I can certainly help you out some more!" He waved the older tom over to his herb storage and slid himself over so that Shinefang had space to join next to him. "Was there anything in specific that you were trying to learn?" He asked curiously, gazing at the herbs currently stored in that particular spot. There were endless probabilities of things that could be asked, but he still attempted to refresh himself on some of the herbs he figured would be asked about. He had some confidence that he would know what the other wanted to know, though.

Blazingstar had been out in the territory while the chase Rosethorn was in occurred. He could hear it from where he was. The quick movements, the claws on dirt, the undergrowth crunching and swishing rapidly as two animals sprinted about in it. The noise was enough for him to want to check it out. See who was out hunting and congratulate them on the catch he was assuming was made. So quickly, the leader tracked the scent down before his eyes met the familiar pelt of Rosethorn. A small purr entered his throat as he pushed his way into view. "Nice catch!" he spoke, not intending to spook her -- if he did. "That'll feed a lot of mouths tonight," he spoke happily, his tail waved high in the air behind him.
