One moon old SheepKit stabbed a twig into the dirt and made snow piles around the twig. "Tree!" She cheered.

AsterFlight chuckled as they passed by. "That's a very pretty tree." They purred and left the camp.

SheepKit was always curious on what was going on outside of camp, but she never dared to check. Not only because she wasn't allowed to, but also because she was scared to leave her home.

The air got colder and the wind became stronger. SheepKit waddled to the middle of the camp and pretended to pass out in the cold snow, wanting to be saved by someone.

"SheepKit!" The kit heard her mother call her name and she gazed up. She sounded angry. "What are you doing? Do you want to get sick?" She scolded and grabbed SheepKit by the scruff. It was clear RyeBerry was taking her to the nursery.

"I don't want to go to the nursery!" Cried SheepKit. "Momma! I don't want to go to the nursery!"

RyeBerry dropped her off in her nest next to BurrKit, who stepped away when SheepKit was in the nest.

RyeBerry curled her tail around her daughters. "Your fur is so cold! You're not going outside today. You will get sick."

SheepKit sniffed as she wiped her tears with her tail. BurrKit mewed preciously and licked SheepKit's cheek.

"SheepKit, why don't you tell SunflowerPatch the story you told me and BurrKit?" RyeBerry asked while smiling.

BurrKit looked annoyed, but SheepKit was always happy to tell others her stories.

"I would love to hear it!" Old SunflowerPatch mrrped.

"Oh! Once there was a cat.." SheepKit began. "Her name was MouseKit, and... and uh... One day, she became the leader of FuzzyClan. Then, she got tired of being a leader, so she died."

"She died?" SunflowerPatch widened her eyes.

SheepKit nodded. "Uh uh. And then the clan was sad, but because she's strong, she was alive."

"What a mysterious cat." RyeBerry commented.

"Wait a minute... She's a kit? How did she become a leader?" SunflowerPatch asked curiously.
SheepKit was puzzled. She didn't know how to answer.

"Can kittens become a leader?" BurrKit squeaked.

"No." Said RyeBerry. "Kits are too small to become leaders."

"Aww..." SheepKit meowed. "I want to be a leader..."

RyeBerry giggled teasingly.
"Maybe you will be, but being a leader is hard work."
SunflowerPatch pointed.

"I want everyone to listen to me!" SheepKit meowed.

"I won't listen to you!" BurrKit meowed back and licked her sister's nose bridge.

"Well, I will kick you out of the clan! Haha!"

"I've asked LeatherStar about what it's like to be leader, and he said it's not easy." RyeBerry told her kits.

"Why?" Asked BurrKit, looking concerned.

The queen rolled her eyes awkwardly. "Well, it's hard to explain. Are you two hungry?"
Both of the kits nodded.
RyeBerry sighed. "Alright. I'll let you have some milk."

New-Leaf came and it was abit warmer. The kits could now play outside for longer. SheepKit was following HoneyPaw around everywhere.

"I thought prey just appears on its own!" Mewed SheepKit. "But why do you kill the animals?"

"Because then you wouldn't be able to eat it. You won't drop a living squirrel in the fresh-kill pile." HoneyPaw answered as she placed down a squirrel in the huge pile of prey. "And, since I've hunted today, I have permission to eat! Apprenticeship is hard." HoneyPaw grabbed a mouse and bit into it.
