Shadekit followed the others slowly, thinking about something the others wouldnt understand.
She wanted to take them to see her old home, but it was across the border and anyway it was over-run with rouges.
She was thinking of a way to get the rouges to leave, but how?
"Ok! Everyone is here!" Silentpaw spun around, "now let's see... you will bring me a pinecone, a feather, and a burr (those fuzzy brown things that are sometimes caught on animals)"
Dovekit smiled knowing where to find two of the items. "I'm going to win!" She giggled as she raced off to find the items.
Finchkit raced off to the nursery to see if any feathers were there.
Dovekit smiled as she pulled a burr from a bush not noticing she had one stuck to her tail as well. Now I need a pine cone and a feather! She thought to herself.
Finchkit pulled a feather out of the nursery and raced away to find a pinecone or burr.
Dovekit smiled as she rolled a pinecone out of a nearby bush. Where do I find a feather? She thought to herself.
Shadekit found a feather in the dead tree she sometimes hid in, then found a pinecone just a little bit outside camp. Where am I gonna find a burr? She thought.
Silverpaw gazed happily at the three kits dashing around, "Shadekit and Dovekit is head to head with Finchkit close behind!" she announced happily.
Dovekit looked around the trees hoping that a bird had dropped a feather. She grinned as she found one!
Finchkit raced through the forest and found a pinecone. Burrs were all over her so that was no problem. She rolled the pinecone toward silentpaw and saw dovekit had everything. "wanna arrive together?" she asked.
"Sure!" Dovekit meowed that way they would both win.
Finchkit started to roll her pinecone forward keeping pace with dovekit.
Dovekit did the same making sure not to go too fast.
"aaaand... it's a tie between Dovekit and Finchkit!" Silverpaw annouced, she observed the things they got, "pinecone, feather and a burr. You got an extra one there Dovekit" she pointed at the kit's tail.
Dovekit looked at her tail and saw the burr still sticking to her fur. "Oops." She meowed as she tried to grab it, but she couldn't grab it.
Finchkit helped pull it out of dovekits fur.
"Thanks." Dovekit nodded and smiled. They were almost there they were going to win!
Silentpaw nodded at them, "I don't know if that counts as a point... do you guys want a tie?"
Dovekit nodded and looked to Finchkit for her to agree.
