Two Cat Brat Pack

[hedgie]

Cause this ain’t where it’s at.
My friends will second that.

This probably wasn't the best idea...

In fact, it was probably Duskpaw's worst idea ever.

She had been told time and time again, as a kit and as an apprentice, that the twoleg nest on Thunderclan's territory was not a safe place to be for apprentices, and especially kits. but she was one hard-wired for trouble, with a mind hooked on adventure, and Cedarkit was much the same. It still confused the gray-pelted apprentice to no end how one little kit could look up to her like some idol. even Duskpaw had to admit that she was the worst kind of role model.

But anyway...there would always be more time for serious thought later, if she ever got around to it.

And I gotta admit, sometimes it’s pretty sad.
But it's like were our own brat pack.

Small storm-colored paws gained purchase on the half-gone fence surrounding the nest, crouched down as if preparing to be attacked. She stood to her full height, though it wasn't a very large height to begin with, and looked around with yellow-lantern eyes. Duskpaw itched to do something bigger than this, but until her best friend was an apprentice, they were limited to clan borders. Oh, how she dreamed of the tales they would one day tell, about adventures on the Windclan moors, or midnight fishing trips on Riverclan territory, sneaking and spying games deep within Shadowclan's pine forests.

Speaking of all the things she and Cedarkit would do...where was that kit? Duskpaw sat upon the fence as best as she could, for the spot she had pulled herself up at was more than just a bit rickety and unstable. Trying to look graceful while trying not to fall, she licked a paw, pulling it over her ears to clean them, and then sighed.

"Cedarkit! Where in Starclan's name are ya'?" She hissed, impatient. "We've got things to do and not a lot of time to do 'em."

We're always kickin' back. Nobody can take that.
And that is that. It’s like its all we have

This would make nursery escape number....well it was getting on up there. It was pretty bad when you couldn't even remember how many times you had snuck out of the nursery in your life, and you were only four moons. Then again, if you knew Cedarkit it was what she was famous for, that and being a tough little kit. Her mother had fallen asleep, and it was the perfect time for the little escape. It wasn't like she was going alone, no she had the best traveling companion in the world, her big sister.

No one could compare to Duskpaw, the little tabby kit wished that she could be mentored by Duskpaw when it came time. But knowing the two, nothing would be done. Mentoring Duskpaw was a challenge, mentoring Cedarkit wouldn't be any better, not having Duskpaw as an influence. It seemed like Cedarkit was always in trouble, she had just gotten out of her last punishment the previous day, and here she was back out of camp, in possibly the most dangerous place possible. But did Cedarkit care? No. She lived for danger.

She didn't have the training Duskpaw had, so it took her a little longer. Even though she had been out of the camp numerous times, she still was just a kit, and Duskpaw was close to warrior age. Despite the huge age gap, Duskpaw was her best friend. She wished she could be an apprentice with Duskpaw, that would be the best thing ever!

Cedarkit's paws raced after the apprentice, going as fast as they would allow. The good thing was, if she got separated from her friend, she knew the way back to camp. After so many explorations, she probably knew the forest as well as any apprentice, possibly better than most. Finally catching up to Duskpaw, she noticed she was on the fence and sighed. This would definitely be a challenge. Hearing Duskpaw she managed to pull herself up, clawing and almost falling off. The brown tabby finally made it up, claws digging into the fence, it sure was a long drop, especially for a kit.

"You called?" Cedarkit asked, a grin on her face as she looked at the apprentice. "What exactly did you have in mind for us to do? Battle with kittypets?" she mewed, the thought of that made her laugh. That wasn't even a challenge. Stupid kittypets.

Break it out
Get it all out

This was drab...really boring. She hated waiting, but for Cedarkit, she would just have to deal. Her smaller companion, practically her sister in every way except for genetic ones, didn't move quite as fast as Duskpaw did. Four paws on the fence, each in front of the other, kept her stable as she waited.

It seemed to go on for hours, for days, when she had only been waiting for minutes. The dark-furred she-cat sighed, then looked staright forward, ears pricked, almost instantaneously. She'd heard a rustling, so either some warrior had discovered an apprentice and a kit were out, unsupervised, and together, or Cedarkit had finally caught up.


And start freakin' out
Just so we can make it out

She really hoped it was the later of the two. She didn't want to be in trouble right now. She'd just gotten out of it that morning after being punished for the same thing she was doing now. She almost jumped off to hide on the other side of the fence, when a voice sent her shooting up into the air. She then fell and landed flat on her back on the fences other side.

"For Starclan's sake, Cedarkit! Don't scare me like that!" Duskpaw hissed, the fur on her tail fluffed out, as much as her short pelt could. She rolled over, raised herself back onto her paws, and mumbled out an answer as she licked any sort of dirt off of her back.

Get off your feet and
Make this count

"I'd like to see you find a kittypet to battle around here in the first place. This stupid nest is pretty much empty."

Cedarkit was still a bit amazed that she had managed to get on the fence all by herself. Not that she would have asked for help, but still for her it was the best accomplishment, other than sneaking out frequently. The little kit knew her brother would so not approve of her behavior, and neither would her parents. At least she was being somewhat responsible this time and had an older cat with her. So what if it was an apprentice, it was her big sister. Sitting on the fence she didn't think it would take Duskpaw so long to acknowledge her presence. You would think an almost warrior would know when a cat is around.

The kit couldn't help but purr as she scared her sister. That was a first. "Sorry, I thought you knew I was here." she said with a shrug. "I didn't mean to scare you, I promise I didn't. I just didn't think it would be so easy to get up here." And it was the truth, the kit thought she would struggle numerous times to jump up. But thanks to her claws it didn't take long at all. Maybe it was all the adventures she went on and it built up her strength, whatever it was she sure was grateful.

"I didn't say I was actually gonna battle a kittypet." Cedarkit huffed. "I was just coming up with an idea since you obviously won't tell me yours. Am I not good enough to be in on your little secrets? Cause I didn't come all the way out here to sit on a stupid fence. I want some action!"The brown tabby kit's tail was swishing in excitement at the thought of what they were doing.
