Puddlekit was just learning how to walk. She had opened her eyes a few days prior, and now she was determined to see what else she could do. Holding in a breath, she attempted to stand with shaky legs. From there, she very carefully lifted one of her paws, stretched it out, and placed it down again. Soon enough she was doing this with all four paws. "Hey, look!" she squeaked, "I'm doing it!"

Though with her luck, she knew this wouldn't last long. This proved true within the following moments, because the next thing she knew she was on the ground. She sighed in disappointment, lifting her head to watch the warriors of the clan walk with such ease. "I'm never gonna get it!"

Foxkit wandered around the farm area, when a squeak drew her attention. She saw a skinny little she-cat struggling to get up from the ground. Foxkit padded over to her and pushed her with one paw. "Are you okay?" Foxkit shouted at the she-cat. "What are you doing? Can you even walk?!"

Puddlekit stared up at the kit that approached her. She looked around her age, though one thing was clear: this kit had started to walk already, and Puddlekit hadn't. She scrunched her nose in anger at Foxkit's words. 'Is she being sarcastic?' "Of course I'm okay! How on earth have you learned to walk already?" She demanded, slowly standing up again.

Foxkit seemed shocked that the she-cat couldn't walk, but looked normal. "I can't believe you can't walk yet, I stand on four legs STRAIGHT already!" Foxkit said as she stood straight up. She turned to walk away from the she-cat. She stopped and turned around, having an annoyed look on her face. "What's your name?" she asked sarcastically, trying to stay normal.

Puddlekit's jaw dropped open when Foxkit stood straight up and marched off. 'Whatever.' She thought in annoyance, but then the other cat turned back around. She thought the sarcasm was kind of funny. "I'm Puddlekit, you?" She asked, now standing on four wobbly legs. Maybe Foxkit wasn't so bad. She had sort of begun to take a liking to her attitude. It was much better than those kits in the nursery that were nice 24/7, or the shy ones who wouldn't talk.

Foxkit stared at her. "Puddlekit? I'm Foxkit, and you really need to learn how to walk." Foxkit commented her. Puddlekit looked weak and vulnerable, but she managed to talk with her. She wasn't so bad though and she wanted to know her more. "So who is your mother?" Foxkit asked "Mine's Dappledleaf." Puddlekit stared at Foxkit, like she wanted to get along with her. Foxkit didn't want to have any friends, since she was born to be independent and have a tough personality.

Puddlekit coughed. "I know, I know!" She snapped, her forceful voice almost making her go off-balance. "I'm way ahead of some of the other kits, so you just be quiet!" She flattened her ears in frustration, giving the kit a look up and down when she introduced herself. 'Foxkit.' "That's a fitting name." She said as she took a seat, finding it a lot more comfortable than trying to retain her balance. "And my mother is Rivershade."

[Deleted]

Foxkit didn't seem surprised at Puddlekit's forceful words. "Really? My name is fitting?" She asked, her face still plain. "Have you ever thought of who your mentor will be in the future? And what your warrior name will be?" Foxkit looked at the sky. "Do you believe that Cloudclan ancestors and stuff really exist?" Foxkit was really curious right now. Foxkit wanted to be leader so badly when she grew up as a warrior.

Puddlekit shook her head wildly. Mentor? Warrior name? That was way too far in the future to think about. "Why, do you?" This Foxkit was definitely prepared. She followed her gaze up to the sky when Foxkit went on. "Uh-huh. I dunno why anyone wouldn't believe it."
