"My mother actually didn't teach me how to groom my fur, I mostly make Applecrumble do it, she says I have enough fur for the two of us which means she's partially responsible, or something like that," Caramelcream was not at all offended by the she-kit's comment, it was true that her pelt was out of control, all kinds of twigs and such stuck to it like velco, it was a full time staying clean and she didn't have the attention span to do it, "You wanna groom it for me, little one? I'll even teach you how to do braids, I think that fluffy little tail of yours might have enough fur to do that someday!" At Tinmutiny's approach, the massive brown she-cat cocked her head, not sure what she was apologizing but happy to have another friend join her, "It's quite alright, now we are playing beauty salon! You can be Magnoliakit's assistant."


"Now now, Darling, you should not be afraid of the Sun," Oakshade said, licking Weepingkit between her ears, although he did not pull her away. They were in full view of the sun right now and the longer she stayed put the more likely she was to get used to it. Or so she hoped, "The rest of you, get in a circle around me, and I will tell you a story from my home Clan. While the Sun God did reveal that I am SunClan by blood, I was not born here, instead raised as a child of the Moon Goddess." 

It was not an easy story to tell but, now that they were up and walking around, it was only a matter of time before some other SunClan cat spilled the beans. He'd rather the secret come from his own mouth. He just hoped that Tinymutiny stayed side-tracked long enough to let him finish the story. He had a feeling she would think they were too young for it...


"You... you what? You were born in MoonClan?!" Valleykit gasped, covering his mouth with her paws and leaning into Snakekit for support. Part of her reaction was an act but part of it wasn't. The thought that she could have been raised in MoonClan made her feel sick to her stomach.
