Copperkit was awake the moment the sun filtered into the nursery, his bright blue eyes blinking away sleep rapidly as he slipped out from his mother's embrace. He stretched himself, his mouth opening in a pinkish yawn while a hindleg scratched lazily at his flank. The soft fluff on his pelt was tangled and messy, but the tomkit didn't care - it was play time for him! He whipped around and bounded back to his mother, excitement fizzing through his little paws as he prodded them on the sleeping queen's stomach.

"Waterstep, Waterstep! Come on, come on, wake up! I wanna play!" he squeaked, his tail swishing around enthusiastically while he stole another glance to the nursery entrance, amazement at the dawning of day boosting his energy. When the white-furred queen refused to wake up, the flame-pointed tom turned his attention to his siblings. "Riverkit! Splashkit! Wake up and play with me!" Neither of them budged either, and Copperkit was beginning to push his lower lip out in a sulk. "Fine, I'll play by myself!"

Clambering out of the nest once more, the fluffy kit scampered over to the entrance of the nursery, stopping right by it to stare at the camp in wonder. This is awesome...!

[Wolf]

The three legged apprentice limped into the camp, her white jaws stretched wide by the rabbit she had caught. Her green eyes glinted in curiosity as she caught a glance of the small kit at the nursery entrance. Once she had unloaded her catch, Tumblepaw limped over to her Clanmate with a purr. "Hi! You're Copperkit, aren't you?" The tabby apprentice asked, sitting down near the entrance of the nursery and inviting the kit to join her outside with a flick of her long brown tail.

She raised a white paw up to her mouth and gave it a lick, drawing it over her ears. She was a split image of her mother, Briarspring, and was one of the elder's last kits. Tumblepaw had been apprenticed late due to the time it took her to learn how to maneuver like a regular cat with her three legs. She was now about 15 moons old and it would be time soon for her to receive her warrior name.

[Carotius]

The cream-furred tom was ready to set a single paw out of the nursery, though part of him held back, afraid of what Watersteo would say if she awoke at the exact moment he did so. That fear was slight. Playful little Copperkit was about to have fun by himself in the camp clearing. Maybe he could finally see the territory of SunsetClan, with the wide expanse of sand and water like his mother told him in nursery tales! It's gonna be so great! Riverkit and Splashkit's loss that they're still asleep! 

It wasn't two tiny steps out before the tomkit was startled by the appearance of a bigger cat coming towards him. Copperkit nearly jumped at the call of his name, belonging to a tabby she-cat. Where's her front leg? He stared wide-eyed at her as the tabby settled down next to the entrance, her long tail beckoning him over. Awesome! I have an excuse to go out! Squeaking in delight, the flame-point kit bounded out from the cover of the nursery, rocketing right into the bigger cat in his excitement.

"Hi! Are you a warrior? What's your name?" he pointed his nose curiously and rather obliviously towards the shoulder where a leg should have been. "What happened to your leg? Did a Monster eat it?"

[Wolf]

Tumblepaw let out a startled mrrow as the kit rocketed into her, rocking back on her haunches as she caught her balance. "I'm still an apprentice, but not much longer! My name's Tumblepaw." She introduced herself with a purr. When Copperkit pointed his nose at her shoulder, she let out an amused trill. "No, a monster didn't eat it. I was born without it, that's why there's all fur here, see?" She nosed the fluffy white fur that covered the slightly deformed lump where a leg would usually be. "If it was an injury, there would be no fur there because fur doesn't grow on scars." The older apprentice explained.

"You might want to be careful asking questions like that though. Some cats might not be as relaxed as me with things like this. I've had my whole life to get used to being asked about my leg...or the lack of it, but some cats might be more sensitive about it." Tumblepaw added gently, her green eyes glinting with amusement at the small kit beside her.

[Carotius]

"Cool!"

The flame-point tom stood on his hind legs, wanting to get a better look at the joint Tumblepaw had indicated. He was a little frustrated at how short his legs were at this age, and landed back onto all paws with a squeaky huff. I can't be an apprentice like this! He gave his legs a glare each, unaware that they would actually grow out when he ages, before turning his curious gaze onto the she-cat again as she continued speaking. Other cats would mind if he asked that same question? Why was that? It was just asking what happened to them, right?

Copperkit wanted to ask more questions, but movement at the edge of his vision caught his attention - a big leaf floating into the camp. Excitement fizzed through his paws again as he clumsily dropped into a crouch, blue eyes locked onto the leaf as it gently brushed the sandy ground and laid there. The long-furred kit crept closer to the leaf, his tail lashing side to side in anticipation of the jump. Mine! Copperkit leapt without much thought, his squeak of triumph replaced by surprise when his legs gave way upon landing, sending him sliding past the leaf in a sprawl.

The tomkit blinked rapidly, ears twitching in dazed wonder. "Did I get it?"

[Clemintine]

Splashkit popped open an eye, a very weird color of violet flashed as he also popped open his other eye. Squinting the sleep away he began to open up his mouth and yawn allowing his tongue to curl with it. The large tom twitched his ears as he felt his mothers fur touching his whiskers. standing up on all fours he arched his back and spread his toes around in a long stretch. His feathery tail flickered a bit and fluffed out as he finished his stretch. Turning his head to the loud things that had woken him up Splashkit began to prod at his mothers side "Mum. mmmmooommm...MOM... MOTHER. MUMMMY. mom..mom mom." The tom then proceeded to flick his tail at her.

[Wolf]

Tumblepaw stifled a muffled laugh as she watched the small tom pounce on a leaf. Without hesitation, the larger she-cat dropped into a crouch and began creeping forward, showing off her balance despite having only one foreleg. With a graceful leap, she pounced on the leaf that Copperkit had skidded past, pressing her white paw down on it. "No, but I did!" Her eyes gleamed with laughter and amusement as a small ball of moss at the edge of the nursery caught her eye. "Wait here." She instructed and pushed herself up, limping over to the moss and picking it up in her teeth.

The brown and white apprentice turned, her fluffy tail flicking behind her. "How about you try to catch something a little heavier than a leaf?" Tumblepaw suggested after limping back over and setting the moss in front of her. Just then, she heard Splashkit nagging his mother inside the nursery and she turned and stuck her head in. "Hey, Copperkit and I are going to play with a moss ball. Want to come join us?"

[Isilme]

Waterstep was having a dream, a quite strange one mind you, she was standing at the pond of truce when a tom approached her, she reminded the ginger fur clearly as if it had been yesterday but the bright green eyes were dull the midnightclanner walked strangely as if dragging his paws, the she cat narrowed her eyes suspicious but didn´t moved, if he was playing a prank at her she would... but the cat didn´t gave her any time to process anything, in a sudden fluid movement he attacked her and- The she cat opened her eyes gasping, what had just happened?! She looked to the side curious as something prodded her side quite insistently. "Splashkit" The female said a small smile in the corner of her mouth. "What do you want dear? Something happened?" She asked turning to face him completely just as a apprentice called the little tom out to play, she couldn´t see Copperkit outside but she knew nothing too bad could happen inside the camp. "You can go if you want." Waterstep purred to the white tom nuzzling him softly, she wanted her kits to have fun while they could.

[Clemintine]

Splashkit nudged himself into his mothers side getting comfortable and sat down wrapping his tail around his paws. HE glanced over to his mother and stared at her eyes with his own same colored ones, he shook his head and then proceeded to stare out the entrance of the nursery watching and listening. He had no needs or wants to play with his litter mates or any other cat, his mother was warm and it was nice and dark inside the nursery. The large tom-kit flicked his fluffy tail up and down, up and down before swatting at it a bit.

[Carotius]

Copperkit's ears shot up in amazement as Tumblepaw crouched almost perfectly, as if her missing limb was still there but hidden from view. A squeak of playful delight came when the larger she-cat pinned her paw down on the leaf just a tail-length from him. I'm gonna be as great as her! The tomkit bounded over in excitement, batting his tiny paws against the bigger one on the leaf, pretending it was something else caught underneath a monster; he was slightly disappointed when Tumblepaw took her paw away, but quickly perked up at the suggestion of a game of moss ball.

"Splashkit, come on! I wanna play!" he called out to his sibling still in the nursery, his ginger tail practically flapping everywhere impatiently. Moss ball was one of the best games to play. Plus, he could get a headstart on training to be a warrior! "We'll get to be warriors much faster if we train now!"
