"Breezekit!" Fallenkit called to the sleeping she-kit.
She was his best friend.
"What?" Breezekit opened her eyes, looking up at the tom-kit.
"Wanna come see Dapplestar with me?" Fallenkit asked while making a face.
Ever since the leader had been attacked by the loner, a moon ago, she'd been in treatment.
The loner, Littlekit's father Pinecone, had been kept prisoner.
"Sure!" Breezekit giggled.

Fallenkit still liked to make faces just to make his best friend laugh after Nightsky had died.
Sorrelkit and Scorchkit never left Dapplestar's side since, so Breezekit was the only one of his non-kin in the nursery.
Littlekit and Falconkit had been made into Littlepaw and Falconpaw.

Despite his littermates, Fallenkit felt a little lonely. He missed having Sorrelkit in the nursery, and even though he had Breezekit, his best friend, it didn't feel the same without the other she-kit.

"Fallenkit! Wake up!" Breezekit yowled. He felt the she-kit's weight push him over, and he yelped.

"Let's go visit Dapplestar!" Fallenkit squealed, but what he really meant was, 'let's go visit Sorrelkit!'.

"Fiiine." Breezekit groaned.

The two bounded out of the nursery and towards the leader's den.

***
"Dapplestar?" Breezekit asked as she stepped into her kin's den.

Fallenkit stood behind her, trying not to dash in and find Sorrelkit.

"Come in." Dapplestar sounded somewhat cheerful.

Fallenkit followed Breezekit into the den, his smile beginning to hurt his cheeks it was so wide when he saw Sorrelkit.

"Hey Sorrelkit!" Fallenkit called.
Sorrelkit's ears twitched as she heard her name.

"Hey, Fallenkit! How's the nursery? Has my sister stuck her paw in your ear while you were sleeping yet?" The she-kit asked.

"Yup!" Fallenkit smiled.

"Let's go play mossball!" Sorrelkit yowled, dashing out if the den.

Fallenkit dashed after her.
As he looked over his shoulder, he saw Breezekit with her ears flattened and a sad look in her eyes.
Then, she hung her head and plodded back into Dapplestar's den.
Fallenkit and Sorrelkit raced away though guilt pricked the little tom's heart like thorns.

"So, let's talk!" Sorrelkit mewed. The two were sitting at the edge of the clearing, under the shade of Highbranch.

"About what?" The little spotted tom question. Her eyes flashed as she replied.

"The future! Like, who do you think will be your mentor and who do you want as your mentor?" Fallenkit thought for a moment before answering.

"I think I'll get.. Cloudfern as my mentor, but I want Blazingfur as my mentor. Your dad is awesome!"

"I think Hawkfeather is going to mentor me but I want Stormcry to be my mentor." Fallenkit shrugged.

"Warrior name?"

"I want Sorrelwing, Sorrelwish or Sorrelstar!" Fallenkit giggled at her last choice.

"Sure, you'll definetly get Sorrelstar as your warrior name. Anyways, I want Fallenfeather, Fallenheart, Fallenclaw or Fallenshadow."

Fallenkit could feel Breezekit's blue eyes bore into his back as he and Sorrelkit chatted away about how many kits they wanted, who they'd mentor and when they'd become leader.

"I think your warrior name should be Sorrelmoon." Fallenkit meowed suddenly. Sorrelkit shrugged before shrinking back. One of the apprentices, Duskpaw, was staning over the kits.

"Move. You're in me and Falconpaw's spot." She snapped. Fallenkit hissed at her.

"We can be here! She's Dapplestar's kin! This is Highbranch- well, under it." Fallenkit snapped. Sorrelkit brushed him with her tail.

"Don't. We'll just go."
