Thistlestar exited the leader's den, stretching his back as the sun streamed down, splashing across his pelt, warming him to the core. Thistlestar sat and looked around the camp, the morning light shedding its glow across the DuneClan lands. He spotted Stormcloud nearby and flicked his tail for her to come over.

Stormcloud looked a bit weary, but padded over to Thistlestar, kind of slow. She normally wouldn't hesitate to talk to him, and would rush over. But she just looked tired, like she hadn't got any sleep. She reached him and then sat down, wrapping her tail around her paws and smiling warmly at him even though she was tired. "Hello," she murmured quietly.

Thistlestar smiled and nudged Stormcloud affectionatly. "What's wrong?" He meowed, sitting back and waiting for her to respond.

Stormcloud sighed. "I didn't get any sleep. I couldn't bring myself to do it, I've been having nightmares lately. I think its because of...because of Pheonixfire's death. And...there is another reason." She brightened. "Thistlestar. I'm going to another litter."

At hearing Pheonixfire's name, Thistlestar closed his eyes and sighed, but then finally drank in the rest of what Stormcloud had to say. "Oh that's great!" He meowed, nuzzling her softly. "Russetkit! Auburnkit! Sleetkit!" Thistlestar called.
Russetkit tumbled out of the nursery, rolling over as he scrambled to his paws. "Coming Father!" He meowed, sprinting towards Thistlestar and Stormcloud. Auburnkit ran out next, looking around, then coming after Russetkit. "Wait for me!" She called.

Sleetkit then appeared, and being the smallest of the kits, was having a rather hard time keeping up. "Hey, wait up!" she cried, little paws working frantically, "Hey! No fair! I'm li'l'er!" She came near and then slipped her legs down and slid into sitting position. But she was still sliding. She bumped into Auburnkit, then stumbled back. "Sorry," she mewled.
Stormcloud nuzzled him back, then looked at her kits. She didn't say anything, but waited for her mate to talk instead.

Auburnkit turned towards her younger sister and nudged her forwards towards the others. "That's fine." She purred, looking up at Thistlestar expectantly. Russetkit pushed forwards, being the oldest and biggest, as well as the only tom. "Whats up Dad?" He meowed, looking between his mother and father. "Well, I have two things to say. One is that you will all be becoming apprentices." He meowed, sliding a glance towards Stormcloud since he hadn't told her yet either. "And also, you will be having more brothers or sisters." He purred.

"Really?!" Sleetkit asked, "Apprentices?! And we'll have brothers and sisters?! Are you serious, Dad?!" She looked shocked but happy.
Stormcloud grinned. "He is very serious, Sleetkit. But Thistlestar, you didn't tell me they were being made apprentices! Good job, you three!" she meowed.

"Well, they take up nearly all of the nursery." Thistlestar purred, looking at the three. "Now, I want you all to go get something to eat while I discuss matters with your mother." He meowed, dismissing them.
Russetkit nodded. "Alright Father!" He meowed, bounding away,Aubunrkit right behind him.
