Chapter One
Mosskit ran outside, purring as the bright sunshine touched and warmed her pelt. What a beautiful day it is! She thought, ''I don't know how the weather changed so quickly! One day it's freezing cold, then the next, it's back to hotness!'' Enjoying the midday sun, she didn't notice her brother Ripplekit, and she crashed into him.

The brown she-kit flattened her ears in embarrasement as Ripplekit staggered to get up. When he got to his paws, he turned around to face his sister, hissing, "Watch where you're going next time! Just look; you've made me have a bad impression on the other warriors!" Mosskit turned her head to see Icecloud, Foxleap, and Mousewhisker discussing something in a circle.

"They're not even looking at you!" Mosskit meowed, "And why would you want to impress them? Most warriors already honor us, just because we're the leader and deputy's kits!" "Because," Ripplekit spat back, "I just do. They might think that I'm so good that I could get my own father as a mentor when I'm an apprentice!"

"Woah, now, hold on there youngsters," chuckled Graystripe, padding out of the elders' den, "You're not becoming an apprentice for another three moons! You have to wai-" "Not unless I impress them so amazingly that they have to make me an apprentice early!" Ripplekit interrupted, puffing out his chest. Mosskit rolled her eyes, "Yeah right! As if!"

Ripplekit pounced onto his sister, pinning her down, "What was that?" Mosskit smiled, laughing as they play-fought, snapping their small teeth at eachother and unshething their tiny claws. A few foxlengths away from them, Ravenkit, Fernkit, and Stormkit, Cinderheart and Lionblaze's kits, sat, watching them with laughter. "Oh, please!" giggled Fernkit, "You two are so mousebrained! Play-fighting? Ha! So childish!"

Mosskit and Ripplekit immediately stopped, turning their gaze to the three kits. "You'll NEVER become apprentices before us anyway!" Stormkit snickered, stopping to groom his fur. Ravenkit nodded in agreement, sneering, "You fight like mice! I'll show you how a real warrior battles!"

Suddenly, Ravenkit, Stormkit, and Fernkit leaped at Ripplekit and Mosskit, and fell onto them, clawing then terribly. Mosskit screeched, cowardly crawling away and hiding behind a stone. Ripplekit stayed in battle, but he couldn't take the three five-moon-old cats. They aimed for his flank, and fiercly bit into it. Ripplekit yelped, and rolled to his side. "What's going on here?!" growled a voice from the corner, running towards them.

Bramblestar bounded over to them, followed by Squirrelflight, Bumblestripe, and Amberpaw. As quick as lightning, the three siblings rolled in the blood splattered on the stone ground, and plucked fur out of their pelt. They rolled down on the ground, whinning. Bramblestar gasped, meowing, "What happened?!"

"Ripplekit and Mosskit attacked us!" cried Fernkit, twitching her front right leg. "Yeah!" squeaked Stormkit in agony, "And we were doing nothing! They just wanted to prove that they could fight!" With anger, Squirrelflight picked up Mosskit and Ripplekit in her jaws, and ran to the nursery. Before they entered the tall, roomy den, Ripplekit watched as Ravenkit smiled, muttering under his breath, "Nice try, foxdung!"

Squirrelflight dropped (GTG, CONTINUED LATER!)
