Asked Cinderkit. "No...its in a quarter moon." Cinderkit's mother , Moonflower replied. "Why not today?" Cinderkit asked. "You must be six moons old." Replied her mother. Cinderkit looked back trying to find her littermate , Whitekit. Cinderkit couldn't find him. "Weres Whitekit?" Asked Cinderkit. Moonflower sighed. Cinderkit looked up at her curiously.

Her mother replied looking back at her with tears purring down. "Then I'm happy for him..." Replied Cinderkit sniffling with sadness. "Why don't you go play with the other kits?" Asked her mom.
