"Foxkit! Wait up!"

The silver tabby she-kit wandered aimlessly through the tall grass of the field, trying to find her best friend and crush, Foxkit.

"Over here, Cloudykit!"

Cloudykit followed the sound of her friend's voice, mewling happily when she spotted him through the grass.

"Hey!" The she-kit giggled. "Found you!"

Foxpaw laughed too. "Nuhh-uhh! I let you find me." He stuck out his tongue and Cloudykit batted a tiny paw at his ears.

"Shut up! I'm a girl kitty, so you gotta be nice to me 'cause I'm delicate." she gushed. "Tom's are supposed to love and cherish she-cats and keep them happy and give them kits and cuddles and kisses."

The reddish-brown tom crinkled his nose. "Kisses? But she-cats have cooties!"

"No they don't!" Cloudykit insisted. "I'll prove it." And with that sentence, she promptly leaned over and licked Foxkit's nose, leaving a big wet stripe in its wake.

The said male leaned back and squeaked. "Cloudykit!"

Cloudykit wiggled her silver-white body and bawled her best friend over, giggling all the while. "What?! Heheh!"

The kits tumble around happily and then suddenly Cloudykit says in all seriousness. "We are going to be mates, right?"

Foxkit's eyes widen before he splutters, "H-Huh? Whaaa...?"

Cloudykit backs off a bit, her smile still present but her blue eyes had gone still. "Well, we know everything about each other, we like to be around one another, we like the same stuff, we both have the same future planned...?" She trails off. "Right?"

Foxkit shivers and looks down. "Well, what's the future plan?"

The she-cat scoffed. "Momma said that I should be bred off with a happy mate and family by the time I'm a prime Warrior, with a bunch of kits and relatives to keep the Clan in good breeding. She also said I need to be planned and to have a good handsome tom cat that will keep me happy like Beavertooth does for Momma. You're strong and smart and cute and would make a great sire."

In a moment the shock fades off and Foxkit is shaking.

"B'But we're kits!" he stutters. "I don't have much of a plan yet but IwannabeaMedicineCatsoIcan'thaveamateyouknow?"

Cloudypaw frowns. "Huh?"

Foxkit shivers and draws close to Cloudykit. "Never mind. We'll work it out. We're best friends no matter what so we'll be fine."

Cloudykit snuggles up to her crush. "Aww! That's so sweet! Maybe I DID have cooties?"

The tom flings himself away. "What-?"

The silver she-cat laughs and then tilts her head. "Best friends forever? Promise we'll always be together."

Foxkit snorts. "Cheesy, but okay. I promise. We'll always be together. Now let's get back to the Clan before someone sees we're gone."

"KIIIITTTTTS!"

Both kits groan.

"Aww, shucks..."
