Cherry Chapstick (open)

[daliery]

Cherrykit lay on her back, flopping around on her nest like a fish. "I'm bored!" She mewed, bouncing to her paws. The queens weren't paying attention to her. She was excited about this. Stalking closer to the door of the nursery, she threw back a glance. The other queens were busy tending to their own kits. She quickly bounded out of the nursery. She looked back, only to trip on a pinecone. Just before she hit the ground, she let out a squeak. Lightly jumping back to her paws, she shook her pelt, quickly fixing her fur. She suddenly let out a hiss, cowering. The camp was bustling, huge warriors stomping right past her. I didn't know it was gonna be this scary..

[Diria]

The black she-cat got up from where she lay near the warriors den. She was tired from the activity inside the camp. It was very busy today. She walked towards the fresh-kill pile and picked up a piece, taking it back to the place where she had been lying only a few minutes ago. Darksoul ate it quickly, then looked around the camp.
As she did this, Darksoul noticed a small kit stumble out of the nursury. When a few warriors walked past this same kit, it seemed as though she was scared. Darksoul walked up towards the brown tabby kit and smiled. "Good morning Cherrykit," She said in a calm voice. "How are you today?"

[daliery]

The she-kit let out a loud mew as a warrior stepped on her tail. She stumbled forward, hiding under Darksoul. As the she-cat addressed her, she peeked out from under her shadow, looking up at her. "Oh, um. Good morning Darksoul!" She squeaked happily, hoping she wouldn't be angry with her for escaping from the nursery. She did sound calm, after all. Her small tail waved in the air. "I'm great!" She chirped. The kit had a short attention span at the moment. Now she was on the ground, waggling her haunches, pouncing on a leaf.

[Diria]

Darksoul laughed at Cherrykits cheerful reply. The queens probably didn't notice that she had even left the nursery, but Darksoul knew that she probably caused trouble as a kit as well. At the same time though, she knew that it wasn't best for her to be out in the middle of the camp when it was busy like this. "Shouldn't you be in the nursery?" Darksoul asked casually. She tried her best not to sound angry. Cherrykit was probably just curious and if this was the case, there was no need to be mad.

Smokypelt had been eating a nice vole form the fresh-kill pile. He watched as Cherrykit escaped from the nursery and played near Darksoul. He couldn't help but feel light on his feet at the happy scene that was playing out with the two she-cats. He stood and approached the black she-cat warrior and the tabby kit just as Darksoul asked the kit if she should be in the nursery.

"Aw, Darksoul let her have some fun. When we were kits we did the same. I seem to recall you being an adventurous kit then." He had been an apprentice if he remembered correctly but he had recalled seeing the black kit with green eyes playing with other kits her age. He batted playfully at Darksoul's shoulder with his tail.

[Diria]

Darksoul smiled at her mate. "Hello Smokypelt," she replied. She knew that all kits did the same, she often got into trouble when she was a kit too, despite her quiet nature. It was the way kits were. At the same time though, the queens might get worried. "I know that we did, but it's very busy in the camp today."
She looked back to Cherrykit and wondered how often she got to explore the camp. Glancing around the camp, Darksoul thought about if it would be alright for Cherrykit to explore. "Do you really want to explore the camp Cherrykit?"

[atrb=bgcolor,de0e00,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,300,true] Cherrykit blinked slightly, sitting in the middle of the two. "B-but!" She pleaded, placing her small paws on Darksoul's. "The other queens are busy taking care of their own kits!" She mewed, now bouncing with excitement. "Yes, yes, yes! Lets go explore!" She ran forward, only to stumble over a pebble. Quickly recovering, she jumped back lightly to her paws, turning back to the two warriors. She begged with her eyes, although she hoped her father could join them to explore. I bet he would want to explore with me too!

[atrb=bgcolor,000000,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,300,true] Sunlessgaze awoke with a start from his nap. It was just a dream, he reassured himself, even though it was so vivid and seemed so real. Lightedpath was alive, the stunning tabby even more beautiful than he remembered. She was running away from him though, and he chased after her. When he finally caught up to her, she wouldn't speak t him. He begged and pleaded...then when she finally opened her mouth to speak, he woke up. The dream kept recurring, and it was extremely frustrating for him. Part of him wanted so badly to move on from her death, but the other part of him just wouldn't let go. Whenever he tried to rest, his mind was in complete turmoil. The white tom rose from his nest, stretching as he made his way out into the camp clearing. Warriors, apprentices, and other cats of Moonclan hustled and bustled about doing the chores for the day. Sunlessgaze had gone out on a patrol earlier in the day, thus his nap was somewhat justified. He still felt guilty, however, seeing how busy everyone else was. The dream still kept gnawing at his thoughts. Sunlessgaze hoped he would find something to busy himself soon to help clear his head. Then, he saw his opportunity; Cherrykit wasn't in the nursery. She was out and about in camp, talking to various warriors and such. Sunlessgaze was just waiting for someone to make a snide remark about him or his offspring, but heard nothing. As he approached her, he was relieved to find the other warriors were being kind and enjoying her. He licked Cherrykit affectionately on the head in greeting, then addressed the others, "Morning Darksoul and Smokeypelt."

[Ruby]

Smokypelt purred at the kits excitement. He felt the same excitement ripple through him. It was easy to get swept in by Cherrykit's jumpiness. He glanced at Darksoul and felt warmth spread through him as well. He hoped one day it would be his and her kit that was too eager to escape form the nursery and explore their camp. "Then I guess that's what we will do. Let's explore a bit."

When Sunlessgaze appeared Smokypelt felt himself get a little less excited. The tom was a bit intimidating to Smokypelt. He just had a feel about him that Smokypelt couldn't quite understand but he gave the tom a small nod in greeting. "Good morning Sunlessgaze. We were about to escort Cherrykit around the camp. She seems a bit hyper today." He batted at Cherrykit playfully with his tail as he said this.

[Diria]

As Sunlessgaze approached, Darksoul looked at him and replied cheerfully. "Hello Sunlessgaze." She wondered what her kits would be like. Would they be eager as Cherrykit was or would they be like she was, quiet and shy.
Like all kits, Darksoul had tried to escape the camp a number of times and would get herself into trouble, but at the same time she was very quiet. She smiled. Darksoul found herself thinking what Cherrykit would be like when she grew into a warrior. She would no doubt be a fine warrior. She turned her gaze back to Cherrykit.

[atrb=bgcolor,de0e00,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,300,true] The small kit purred at the sight of her father, padding right up to him. "Good morning!" She mewed happily, flank resting against his white fur. "We were just about to explore," She padded over, to sit in front of Sunlessgaze. She flicked her tail in the direction of the two warriors behind her. "They promised they would, atleast." "Do you wanna come with us?" She fidgeted in her spot, hoping he would. Her father was always busy with this weird warrior stuff. She wanted to be a warrior too. But it seemed like a lot of work!
