~ Prologue
Two kits glared at each other as their parents pushed them closer together, the yellow kit with dark stripes like a bee, jutted up his chin in stubbornness to make up with his friend.

"Why should I apologize to Cavekit ?" The yellow kit asked indignantly. "It's not my fault he's a scaredy cat, a coward!"

Cavekit's stony and angry expression melted away to a sad and betrayed face, he turned away from the cats around him and stood in a corner, ashamed for being a coward and not brave like a ShadowClan warrior should be.

"It's not my fault I'm a coward, trying to fight with a fox is scary even for a warrior." Cavekit said, his eyes lowered, not meeting anyone's gaze. "Just because I'm a coward shouldn't stop us from being friends, Beekit."

Beekit stared at his friend's light gray pelt and felt everyone's gaze on him, he was a brave and proud cat, he liked being thought as the bravest and best warrior ever even though he was still a kit. He began to walk away from Cavekit until he heard soft, quiet crying. He realized it was coming from Cavekit and he ran to his friend, there was tears streaming down his face and he butted his head against his light gray shoulder.

"Please Cavekit, stop crying! I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Beekit said and touched his nose to Cavekit's ear. "I promise we'll be best friends forever until we die, nothing will get between us, not a fight, not a big problem, not another cat, and especially not even a she-cat!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"We'll be best friends even after we die, Beekit!" Cavekit meowed, looking at Beekit with his blue eyes intensely. "Don't forget we'll get to see each other in StarClan."

"Of course, Cavekit! Nothing will break our friendship, nothing at all!"

Beekit and Cavekit smiled each other and began to tumble around, playfully batting at each others ears. The other warriors who were watching, grinned that the two kits finally became friends again, unaware that their promise will be fractured and then shatter into pieces...by the moon.
