Sparrowkit bounded out of the Nursery on clumsy paws, mewling. He was going to be a Warrior soon! He only needed a mentor, and then he could start living in the Apprentice den and he wouldn't have to deal with the kits any longer. He would someday be ... Sparrowkit skidded to a spot before the marked boundaries and panted for breath. Where was Shimmerkit?

Shimmerkit was still too young to even be considered for a warrior apprentice, but his friend Sparrowkit had it made. He was going to get a mentor and he was going to become a Warrior for Windclan. He was playing with Sparrowkit's tail when he darted out of the Nursery. Confused, Shimmerkit glanced around. Had he been called? Getting up, he stretched before padding lazily out of the Nursery, catching the blur was is his tan colored friend, Sparrowkit. "Sparrowkit! What's wrong?" Shimmerkit mewled, sitting a tails-length away from his friend.

There he was! "Shimmerkit, I thought you were chasing after me." Sparrowkit purred as he got up and walked briskly around the younger kit. "You had my tail in such a grip I thought I was going to lose it!" Sparrowkit mewled as he gave a playful swat to the kit beside him. He and Shimmerkit were born only two moons apart, but even then they were still very close to one another. Sparrowkit took an immediate liking to the little one. "I'm going to get a mentor soon, Shimmerkit. Maybe one day I can mentor you!" He spoke excitedly, tail swishing.

It got boring staying inside the Nursery den day after day, only allowed outside for a few hours at most. Shimmerkit hissed softly at the swat, tail flicking in annoyance. "I'm glad you're going to become a Warrior, Sparrowkit. But I do not wish for you to Mentor me. You have enough growing up to do on your own." Shimmerkit began to clean himself, waiting for his denmate's reply.

"That's a load of fox-dung," Sparrowkit huffed to Shimmerkit's explaination of being bored. That kit had more energy than three kits combined. "You wanted to chase after me, so that's why you were playing with my tail." The warrior apprentice decided, grinning wickedly. But the next words were a little demoralizing, and Sparrowkit's ears lowered against his heads. "I'm going to become a great Warrior, Shimmerkit. You'll see, and when I do you'll want to be the first kit I mentor!" He exclaimed, watching his denmate clean himself. His tail swished behind him. "...Do you still want to play chase?" Sparrowkit asked softly, glancing at Shimmerkit.

Shimmerkit rolled his eyes, continuing to lick his paws and rub his ears, getting the dirt off. "No, Sparrowkit. I was bored, and it is not a load of fox-dung. It was a kit-step away from me, I couldn't help it." Shimmerkit refused to let Sparrowkit win this one. He had enough on his plate without the older kit being in his face about what he was or wasn't. Once he finished cleaning his face, Shimmerkit glanced at his denmate. "Chase?" He asked teasingly. "A great warrior apprentice like you, wanting to play chase like a kit?" Shimmerkit got up anyways, scarred chest puffing out. "Fine. Let's play chase. You're it!" Shimmerkit yowled and sprang away, running with his tail in the air.

"See?! Only a kits-step away from you, you're just a silly little kit." Sparrowkit mewled excitedly, as if he won the conversation he had with his denmate. Sparrowkit flinched, but didn't budge once Shimmerkit got up. He knew he had gotten what the younger kit had wanted all along. "Yes, Chase. I want to play chase beca-" Too late. Deemed 'it', Sparrowkit watched in slight awe as the younger kit ran off. "Hey!" Sparrowkit yowled. "That's not far!" Giving chase to the agile younger kit, he matched his denmate's stride with ease.

conversation was thrown to the wind as Shimmerkit belted away from his denmate. he tossed his head over to the side, yowling over his shoulder as he ran: "nothing's fair!" he nearly missed a bush, stumbling over his paws like the naturally clumsy kit he really was. "you're never going to catch me!" Shimmerkit yowled playfully, his tail still stuck straight in the air as he tried to run further from his denmate.

sparrowkit nearly tripped over his own paws because he was laughing so hard at shimmerkit's stumble. "you're right, shimmerkit. nothing's fair because I am going to catch you, and there's nothing you can do!" sparrowkit had longer legs because he's older; and picking up speed he slowly gained up upon his denmate. "look behind you, shimmerkit. look who's here!" sparrowkit yowled as he playfully nipped at shimmerkit's outstretched tail.

"no you won't!" shimmerkit cried as he ran harder, hoping to lose his friend by dashing left and right in stead of in a straight line. he was steadily growing tired though, it was easy to see in his gait. he stumbled again, almost falling. he righted himself though, but lost a lot of speed from the stumble. shimmerkit yowled playfully when he saw sparrowkit so close behind him, whipping his tail as he ran, trying to pick his speed back up.

sparrowkit saw the stumble and grinned only a cat could. he raced towards the younger kit. he knew he shouldn't be so playful but he couldn't help it; he was still a kit for as long as the ceremony didn't start. when his friend stumbled again, that was when sparrowkit took the chance and jumped, leaping onto his friends' back. "gotcha!" he yowled triumphantly, playfully letting his claws graze his friends's sides.

a blur of tan and white cat fur landed on Shimmerkit's small body and with a powerful yowl he fell face first onto the ground, the warm, heavier body of Sparrowkit ontop of him. "Alright, alright! Sparrowkit get off!" he cried, squirming hard under the older kit.

After a minute or two of pretty much lounging on Shimmerkit, he hopped off and playfully swatted his denmate, leaping from side to side, his rump high in the air. Sparrowkit was excited, he was happy, he honestly just wanted to play for the rest of the day. He probably could too, seeing as the leader had yet to summon his warrior gathering. "Shimmerkit, you're it now!" Sparrowkit mewled, reaching to swat his friend again.

Shimmerkit got to his paws, scowling at his denmate. His fur was dirty! His tail hurt, and and - he was swatted. "Sparrowkit!" Shimmerkit yowled, almost hissing at his friend. "Can you just relax for two heartbeats? I need t-" As his denmate announced he was it, the grey kit watched him for a few seconds. "Fine!" He then meowed, getting ready to launch himself on his older, faster friend. "You better run, Sparrowkit!"
