Closed Thread A Kit Expedition!

A dark pile of fluff was already stirring in her nest, restless as she stretched her tiny legs, needle like claws outstretched as she toyed with her nest. However, her large head turned when she felt movement from beside her. With the knowledge of her large brother in motion Merrykit jumped from her nest and aimed to place her paws on his big side, hoping to shake him even if it was like trying to dislodge a big, fluffy boulder.

"Sturg'nkit! Sturg'nkit! Wanna play moss ball hunter witf me?"

All the commotion was sure to wake up their siblings if they weren't in a dead sleep. Merrykit wasn't sure what time of day it was - dark or light, just especially warm and comforting around the furry bodies of her kin. Merrykit was flung back, harmlessly bouncing off Otterwhisker's foot as she took a tumble, wiggling with excitement as she lay on her belly.

"They better!" It wasn't nearly as fun without the challenge of her two sure footed siblings. Sturgeonkit was fun to play with and all, but she felt she could run circles around him and he'd fall over. Seeing him upside down made her smile, and her head turned to mimick his.

"I'll get som' moss - there's plenty in the back of the nest." True to her word there seemed a sea of bracken green and mossy browns, and she bounded forward as if bouncing on fluffy clouds before her sharp claws grappled a mossy sphere nearly as large as her. Migth as well be another playmate, but they could always set their sights higher!

A warrior would be fun to dart underneath of.

Just a little more... Merrykit's little paws clawed at the sphere before dislodging it from the nest. Her expression was bright, full of excitement for what could potentially meet them in the outside world. If her siblings were too sleepy to play, and Otterwhisker wasn't in the mood, then they'd play outside. Maybe everyone else could see just how good she was at moss ball, maybe they'd want her to do something fun for the whole clan!

It seemed like their minds worked in tandem, as the she-kit squeaked when she saw her brother come barreling forward. Taking her catch to the side, she pushed the ball out of his way - tail lifting high as she scuttled after it. It bounced off the nursery wall and headed towards the entrance, where it slowed while illuminated by the outside world beyond.

"Let's see if anyone else wants to play - we can try to keep the ball from them if we work together!" She suggested as she wiggled her rump playfully before trotting towards the ball, a clumsy kitty crouch causing her to pounce shortly after, rolling with the ball with her small body still attached.

I can fly like an eagle
And strike like a hawk
Do you think you can survive?

Hailkit snickered a little in her head as she listened and twitched her whiskers, following her sibling's movements with her scent glands as they played. Her's were getting sharper by the day, and she could already find the difference between the various cats that came through the den.

Boldstar and her mother, of course, but her siblings, young apprentices coming in to give their mother prey, (Mintpaw, for example), or even the medicine cats, who came to check up on them and their mother once and a while. 

This, combined with her ears to signify where they were in the world around, gave her an idea soon after she woke up. As they moved, she searched for the best opportunity. 

It didn't take long for her siblings to finally waddle their way towards the entrance of the nursery, and with their backs turned..

Hailkit leaped out, pouncing behind them and letting out a kitten's yowl. 

"BOO!"

Pushing along the moss ball, Merrykit's tail was a proud, excited banner above her. OUtside of the nursery held such promise, such fun! Together they could tackle the wide, open space of camp - a relatively new place in her widening world that brought hope that someone else would join their game. She wouldn't let anyone have the ball if she could help it!

But before she had much of an oppertunity to start pestering any passing warrior, Merrykit's pitiful attention was returned to the entrance, turning around to see her sister awaken. Or perhaps she was awake this whole time! How tricksy!

"We're being invaded!" She screeched, ball abandoned to race over and confront the 'attacker'. "They've gotten passed the secret tunnel and snuck up on us! Let's get her, Sturgeonkit!" Rallying behind his thickened fluffy hide, the smaller by comparison she-kit reared up on her back legs, sitting on them while she balanced a few experimental bats - mostly at the air, none too graceful. "For Riverclaaaaaan!" Overly animate and with a high pitched sort of warble, Merrykit leaned forward to tackle Hailkit, but stumbled on the landing where she rolled on her side, arms.

Ready. To. BAT!
