"She found them because the world turned upside-down." Pebbletail said calmly. "Well, at least that's what she said it felt like. Before she knew it, she was standing on the ceiling of the Twoleg nest that she was in, and then she fell down, and when she looked up, her parents and sister were there." Snowkit didn't understand this concept, but nodded anyway. Though he confusion was reflected in her eyes and posture. "What happened?" she asked, hoping that if Pebbletail continued the story would start to make sense.

"What had happened was, basically, she had experienced what Twolegs call a Mystery Spot." Pebbletail explained. "Basically, it's where the laws of the universe seemingly don't exist. If you jump, you don't go back down to the ground again, objects disappear with no explanation - It's pretty spooky." Snowkit had never heard of this, but she nodded her head like she had. "O-okay. And what happened to her in this Spot? Did she get out?" Well, of course she did, she chided herself. Otherwise Pebbletail wouldn't have met her.

"She did, but not without many difficulties." Pebbletail mewed. "Firstly, she had to work out where she was. She and her family tried many different things, but none worked. Finally, she worked out that she had to work out which way was up. Then, it was easy!" Snowkit blinked again. She was now very confused, but still nodded anyway. "And how did she meet you?" she questioned, wondering if this was a question that would put her on firmer ground.

"She actually met me a few years after this." Pebbletail purred. "I was on a patrol to the Twolegplace to investigate some rats, when I got separated. She found me, and I was incredibly surprised to learn that she could speak to cats! I taught her about the Clans, and, in turn, she taught me about Twolegs. Our friendship developed, and, well... Here I am." "Here you are," said Snowkit, almost - almost - happily. "That's a very interesting story! Thank you for telling it to me. What should we do now?" (Final level up)

(Awesome! ) "I don't know." Pebbletail shrugged. "What would you like to do?" "I...don't know," said Snowkit as well. "I don't usually care. I don't know what I like to do other than hear stories. What do you like to do? Maybe I'll like them too!"

"I generally like to collect things." Pebbletail mewed. "Either that, or sit and think, or talk to myself." "What sort of things?" questioned Snowkit with a tilt of her head. "Rocks? Leaves? Flowers?"

((Thanks! I will update the front and do answers probably sometime within the next few days. I have a party my family is throwing me today so not much time. I have also started back to class so I may be a little slow on all this. Thanks for understanding!))

"Sure!" Pebbletail purred. He stood up. (Thanks! ) Snowkit stood as well, shaking out her fur and turning as she started to walk. She walked expertly through the camp, turning her ears back to check that Pebbletail was still following. "This way," she said, just before reaching the entrance to the twoleg den and waving her small tail at the outside, full of overgrown bushes and long grass.

"If other animals think less of either of us because you don't care about gender as much, then that's their problem." Tawnyfur mewed. "I don't know." Robinstorm mewed. "What would you like to do?" Lyric looked up. "It's fine." He mewed to Willowstep. (Okay! ) *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* Tawnyfur padded outside. Spiderpaw purred at the other cats response. Ze was really starting to like Tawnyfur a lot. Ze could just see a life here with her. "Have you ever known another cat like me?" Ze asked. ((Level up)) Snowy looked unsure. "We could play a game?" She suggested. "Do you know any good games?" Willowstep smiled back at the kit. "I thought we might chat a little and get to know each other better." She suggested as she watched Lyric carefully. She didn't want to make him nervous. "Would that be ok with you?"

"Let all animals old enough to catch their own prey gather at the foot of the stairs for a clan meeting!" Fallenstars voice rang out.
Many of the workers began to emerge from other rooms and gather around the she cats. Fallenstar nodded to Hickoryfoot to begin the ceremonies. "Daisykit, Moonpaw, Sunpaw," said Hickoryfoot, stepping up. "Please come forward." She searched the crowd for the cats she had called out, smiling. "I would like to name a new apprentice and two new warriors."
Elmheart and Glade watched from the crowd, both smiling. Daisykit made her way to the front. A huge smile on her face as she looked back at her mom and brother. Rainshine looked on with so much pride. Moonpaw and Sunpaw padded forward. Moonpaw looked ready to jump for joy. Sunpaw was more reserved but pride glowed in his eyes.
Willowstep looked to her brother and sister. "Can you believe my kits are about to be warriors?" She asked quietly.

Ghostkit sighed as the tears finally began to stop. "No there really isn't anything to do about it. No one can fix it and while I understand the uses it has its not something I will ever like being able to do." She looked resigned. "I just wish that I didn't get so scared from witnessing them. I can't even help anyone with their fears because I get so scared." --- The bird was knocked of balance by Glades attack. As expected it dipped very low to the ground causing Forestpaw's next move to land a direct hit. The bird hit the ground and in an instant Forestpaw was on it trying to pin it to the ground. --- Princess watched the she kit bounce around. It was going to be hard to teach this kit to slow down. She smiled at Wasppaw. "I am glad they are nice here. What else is here?" She asked as she looked toward the stairs that lead to where the healers dens were. Rattlesnake frowned down at Ghostkit. Both he and Dream still hadn't moved. "We'll do everything in our power to help, of course. We'll try and think of something, uh....we don't know your name..." Rattlesnake looked at Dream again, as if trying to gain support from him. "I'm Dream," said Dream. "And this is Rattlesnake." (Fun fact: Dream started out as a short story. I was supposed to write about a name change, I think. But anyway, I started with the name that he changed it to being 'Nightmare', but Dream has now stuck so hard I think that I'll have to change the story.) -- Glade clawed at the bird, digging out feathers but not sure if he was actually doing damage to the creature itself. He kept a wary eye on the wings, ready to shout or push Forestpaw away if it became to risky. He was not going to allow himself of the apprentice to be carried off by the bird. -- "The healers are over there," said Wasppaw, catching her looking in that direction. "They're very good at healing wounds and thorns in paws and things in that." He grinned a little. "There are several things here. I just don't know what is and isn't usual for someone who lives with or near twolegs." Peppermintkit paused in her bouncing and looked over at Wasppaw. "What does a twoleg look like?" she looked between him and Princess. The kit smiled weakly at both toms. "Ghostkit" she answered. "I am sorry that I couldn't meet you like a normal kit." She apologized again. She knew it didn't really help but she tended to apologize for everything. ((So the name was nightmare and not dream? Wow the names give me totally different feelings. One seems kind of villain like and the other is more of a neutral name.)) -- Forestpaw was still holding the huge bird down. He hadn't managed to evade all the claws and could already feel blood running through his pelt from various wounds. In a last effort he bit down hard on the birds neck. He felt it become weaker and grow limp. Only then did he climb off and check his own wounds. Nothing to bad. Some deep scratches on his legs and his paw hurt a bit. The tiny kit hurried out from the rocks as soon as he was sure the bird was dead. "Thank you! Oh thank you both!" He called. -- Princess smiled at Wasppaw's comment about not knowing what was and wasn't uncommon for kittypets. She was about to answer that most everything was new for a kittypet but she hadn't always been one, when Peppermintkit asked her question. She looked uncertain how to answer. "Twolegs are big creatures that, as the name suggest, walk on two legs. They are mostly hairless except for a large patch on their heads." She thought for a moment. "Maybe you and Wasppaw could visit my twolegs at some point."

Ghostkit tilted his head up as his eyes unfocused. He was thinking hard about the best way to try and talk to a ghost. "I guess..." He said after a moment. "We should probably wait till dark. Thats when they show up the best." He commented. Pinekit looked out at the snow that the rain had changed over from. "That sounds good. It won't be too long till night fall." "Cloud!" Willowstep called from across the room. "I think you better come to the den area. There is one of those basket gift there and it apparently is yours!" ((Wanted to get a basket in here)) ---- Goldkit's eyes widened too. "Snow!" He turned to them both with an excited look on his face. "Leafkit if the snow stays and starts to cover the ground we should go out and play in it!" He suggested. Rainshine laughed. "It may be a while before we get enough snow for that but that sound fun." She looked down at leaflet. "Do you want to try that when there is enough snow?" (I'm so sorry Lore!) Cloud slowly nodded. They could wait till dark, as long as it made it easier for them it would be fine. As Willowstep called out his name and told him what was waiting, his eyes widened and he blinked. He didn't expect to get anything! He turned to the other two kits. "Well, since we have time to burn, why don't we go investigate?" He suggested, starting over to Willowstep. .+*+.+*+. Leafkit blushed harder as Goldkit suggested going out in the snow to play. When Rainshine said what she did Leafkit's first reaction was that of disappointment that it wasn't enough snow to play in right now, but as she nodded surprisingly enthusiastically as Rainshine finished. "I would love that!" She exclaimed happily, before glancing at Goldkit and looking down. "I-I mean, that could b-be fun." Both kits looked curious about the basket and nodded about checking it out. Willowstep led the way back to the den where Rainkit and Shadow were already looking at the odd basket. In the middle of which sat a large black egg with red streaks running through it. Rainkit turned to see the others, her eyes round. "Its says we need to put it in fire." She told them. --- Goldkit purred. "I think it will be great! How about I come back and find you later when there is more snow?" He glanced at Rainshine. "I don't want to interrupt your talk." Rainshine smiled. "Your not interrupting. We are happy to have you here."

((Ok that is all the replies I think. I will now start on updating the front a little. I will add the kits collected from baskets slowly. I believe Glade got one from Sparkly, Lyric got a ribbon I think from me, Shasta got one from minted, Mousekit got a toy mouse from me, and Cloud got a strange egg from me. There is one more kit in the first basket and I will reveal who its for in a little bit.))

Pebbletail nodded, following Snowkit. He was impressed at how sure-footed she was - He assumed that she'd had plenty of practice. It occurred to him that he might have to help Snowkit out in camp if he ended up adopting her. "Okay." Snowkit turned back and padded out of the Center, pawsteps becoming just a little slower as she left. "This place is new to everyone, so who knows what's out here," she said almost cheerfully. "Which way do you want to start with?" she looked left, than right. To the left was what looked to be a crumbling wall and to the right was what looked like a path that prey had followed through the long grass, peppered with bramble bushes.
