"They are beautiful, Raindrop," Treefur, the SnowClan medicine cat praised. Roarpaw nodded, warmth in his eyes. Raindrop stared down at the two she kits suckling at her belly. She smiled as she lapped them clean. The two medicine cats left her in the room with the other queens.

"What are you naming them?" Fawnfoot asked as Raggedwhisker pricked her ears.

"This one," Raindrop announced as she flicked a small white she kit gently with her tail on the ear, " Will be Ivykit."

"That's beautiful! What's the other one called?" Raggedwhisker purred. Lionkit was sleeping next to her and stirred.

Raindrop thought for a moment. 

"Moonkit!" Lionkit shouted. Rosekit, Dragonkit and Mistykit came tumbling into the nursery just in time to hear his words.

"No! Lightkit!" Rosekit protested. "How about Darkkit?" Suggested Dragonkit. "No, no no! She should be called Ivykit!" Mistykit howled. Raindrop purred with amusement. " The white kit is called Ivykit."

"How about Leafkit?" Fawnfoot advised. "Leaf has always been a rare prefix for a cat. All cats respect cats with that name."

"Hmmm" Raindrop thought. "Duskfall!" She called her mates  - A leader - name. He came trotting into the nursery. "Wow," he gasped when he saw his kits. " They're beautiful." He walked towards them and nuzzled each one. "What are their names?" he asked as he stood up straight.

"The white one is Ivykit, I don't know about the other one." Raindrop replied, her gaze resting on the unnamed kit- a dark grey she kit with black ears and spots. She was very pretty.

"Lynxkit! Her name is Lynxkit!" Raindrop announced as she licked Lynxkit's head. Duskfall purred. "Perfect" he mewed.

-------------------- 2 moons later -----------------------

"Raindrop! Can we go outside?" Lynxkit yowled as stumbled into the nursery with Ivykit at her heels.

"No, not until your an apprentice. Look at your fur! You look like you slept in brambles and thorns Ivykit!" she scolded as she licked them clean. "And Lynxkit, your going to soon become dust!"

"Noo stop!" Lynxkit pulled away from her mothers sweeping tongue. "I'm fine, and so is Ivykit!" Ivykit blinked. She had one yellow eye, and one blue eye. Treefur said it was an omen, but then started to regret it. Lynxkit had huge amber eyes and the clan adored her.

"They are normal kits, I was just mistaken" he would say.

"No you are not!" Raindrop argued. "You listen to your mother, young cat!" Lynxkit scowled. "We are going back outside anyway!" she muttered and flicked her tail as she stormed out of the nursery with Ivykit following. 

The two kits sighed as they stalked towards the entrance.

"Wait! Ivykit! Where are you going?" Lynxkit hissed. Her sister had swerved towards the dirtplace.

"If we are going out, we will have to be hidden." she mewed as she shot through the tunnel. Taking in a deep breath, Lynxkit followed.
