Buttercupkit wriggled her haunches as the ball flew to her. She leaped up at it. But instead of catching the flying moss ball, she bumped it with her head, sending it flying to Goldenkit.

"That was great Buttercupkit!" Antkit was in awe of the she-kit as she bounced the ball toward Goldenkit with her head, she watched to reach Goldenkit and waited for it to be sent in her direction. As the moss ball closed the distance Antkit reared up on her hind legs and caught the ball between her front paws, sending it flying back toward Buttercupkit as brought her front paws back to the ground.

Antkit was watching the ball soar through the air when Buttercupkits shriek rang in her ears, she looked at the she-cat who was now laying on her side and ran to her. "A-are you okay? What happened?" She was crouched down sniffing at the paw she held out careful not to touch it with her nose.

(You wanna @ the mcs or do you want to skip ahead?)

It all shattered so quick. It always did.

Goldenkit bounded over to Buttercupkit, quickly looking over the paw. It appeared like a sprain, but Goldenkit was no medicine cat. "It's okay. Flyingcolors took care of me, she can take care of you too. Can you walk or do you want me to get her?" She doesn't attempt to move Buttercupkit, resting close to her as to remind her she was there.

Goldenkit waited outside with Antkit, occasionally throwing the ball between the two. When Buttercupkit was finally let out of the medicine cat's den, she got up and went to her, instinctively standing on one side to catch her if she fell, "I'll bet, but at least you can't feel it when you sleep. Besides, now we're injury buddies!" She laughed, shaking her own recovering leg, "Anyway, we should get you back into the nursery, no?"

"We can always play tomorrow after we've all had some rest." It wasn't the most exhausting day, but these kits were a good bit younger than her, so she had to take that into consideration, "We can take it back and bat it around the nursery! Though we'd have to be careful to not do it too hard. Or I can tell you two a story if you'd like?" She offered, she'd seen a lot in her travels. Though most wouldn't be appropriate for kits, she could twist it some to make it more palatable.

Goldenkit's nest was small, one for a single cat. Looking at Buttercupkit's and back to her's, a twinge of sadness pricked her heart. She couldn't let that get her down, and settled into her nest.

"Let's see. Once there was a young warrior by the name of Poppycrumble. She was a bright and strong girl, one always to help others in need. One day, she came across a wounded warrior from another clan. She tried to bring him back to her clan, but they rejected him. Not one to be deterred, Poppycrumble stole from the medicine cats and helped nurse him back to health. They had spent their days apart, but talked all throughout the night. Once the warrior was better, Poppycrumble held the faint hope in her heart that they could stay together. She fell asleep, and prayed to Starclan for her little wish to come true. But when she awoke, he was gone."

"Turns out the tom had been using her. With all the information he'd learned from her, he sold her out to his clan. Before they knew it, their rivals knew their greatest secrets and it was all Poppycrumble's fault. They held a trial to excommunicate her. No one was on her side. It really felt like the end and Poppycrumble only had herself to blame. But just when things seemed hopeless, one cat stood up for her, a she-cat a few moons older than her named Ivymoon. She had a great idea. To use the info Poppycrumble gave as a distraction and chase their enemies off once and for all. So, half the clan went to work strengthening the weak points, while the other half planned the invasion strategy, with Poppy and Ivy in charge. It didn't take long for the other clan to strike, taking the exact ways their spy had said. But every direction they went, they were faced with obstacles. Falling branches, sinkholes, the whole shebang. Eventually, they all congregated back to one group, when Poppycrumble, Ivymoon and the rest of the clan were able to surround them. Poppy would face the spy she loved one more time, giving him a thank you gift. A nice scar across the muzzle. The rival gang was chased out of the forest, never to be seen again. Poppy got a good lecture, but was ultimately allowed to stay and lauded as a half hero. But Poppycrumble still had one definite fan, Ivymoon. And it wasn't long until those familiar feelings bubbled up again. One night, she laid by her and prayed to Starclan that Ivymoon would stay with her forever. When she woke up, Ivymoon was still there and they promised to stay together forever. The end."

(Spiderheart case you lost the thread)

Goldenkit held a soft smile as Buttercupkit drifted to sleep. She rolled over in her small nest, drifting to sleep as she thought about how she fit into the nest perfectly.

The next day, she had left early to eat breakfast with Kasdeya, casually talking about the day before. A part of her wished she had taken the nest Kasdeya offered her. But she was adjusting, she'd be fine. It'd be harder to leave when she became an apprentice if she hadn't accustomed herself to this. Waving a bye to Kasdeya, Goldenkit found herself in the middle of camp, sashaying out of the way of the going warriors and apprentices. Spotting Buttercupkit, she waved to her with her tail.
