    Conekit wheezed loudly, his chest echoing with empty air. It was only with his mother's help that he latched on, mouth filling with milk. Despite finding it hard to swallow the kitten already had the appetite of a whole clan! He was mostly still, not even strong enough to kneed. At least he could breathe. He could feel warmth, and a draft of cold. He nuzzled into his massive pile of siblings. Warmth moving in their tiny bodies. They were all so energetic compared to him. He choked once in his eagerness, then twice. He gave off a husk of a wail before trying again. Mama had him. Everything would be okay.


    Conekit was the weakest of his siblings, yet he tottled bravely towards his sibling leaning a soft head on his shoulder. His purr rumbling. "It's okay, Branchkit. Papa won't let anything bad happen."


    The runt seemed sure of this. He looked up at his father, smiled then made a funny face. He turned this funny face on his distressed sibling trying to get a reaction. "Bleh! Branchkit look! I smell something yucky!" He giggled and twisted his face more.


    Conekit had moved at his sister's request, despite being the fragile one. He didn't like to think about it. Her shrill scream pulled him awake from his place on the cold floor. He blinked his heavy eyes and turned his head. "Why are you yelling? What's wrong?"


    His eyes blinked wider and he tried sitting up but toppled over on his back. He wiggled his little paws in the air and enjoyed himself while he was down. A nice long stretch. He was alive for two moons so at least that was in his favor.

    BRANCHKIT.


    Conekit was having a good time, the bestest evet time. Climbing onto a nearby rock, he stood tall and proud. Like an eagle close to flight, he dared his ledge and...oops! The kit lurched forward and hit his nose on the ground. Oof, he wiggled his butt and pulled himself up.


    "My flight was cut short." He stiffled his cry with a giggle. At least his nose wasn't bleeding.


    Conekit blinked up at Stonekit. Stonekit seemed to know everything! Oh, but that made Timberkit upset. He lowered his ears thoughtfully, trying to understand. Timberkit wasn't stupid! But she was doing that thing again. The 'this'll get me in trouble' thing. He popped up as a vouce came in, breaking up the arguing briefly.


    "Hey Snowlynx! Thank you for the mouse! He purred, hobbling over past his sister. "Sorry Cottonkit!"


    He stepped over her and wormed over to the mouse. He didn't realize all what was happening, but he didn't like the yelling. "Hey let's just eat together guys! I've never had mouse before." He mewed before tugged at the meat. It....wasn't coming off. He wasn't strong enough to tear it. He gave a shy look at Snowlynx and laughed. He laughed at his misfortune because he couldn't do much else.

    Conekit rolled over onto his back, staring up at his much bigger brother. His amber eyes looked so full of worry and confusion. Conekit rolled onto his belly again and shakily stood up. Conekit tried to meet Stonekit with a soft smile to ease him. "Sure, what's wrong, Stoney?"


    Stoney was one of the nicknames he called his brother. Stonezone, Sto-Sto, and Gray where the others. He had a habit of making up dumb words, but if it made someone laugh it was worth it.


    "Sweetkit!" Shouted Conekit from the side of the nursery. As they adults carried him to safety, sickly Conekit bounded after him. Worried and nervous. "Does it hurt?"


    Of course it hurt! Thorns sucked. He got one once and cried until Stonekit pulled it out from his paw.


    Jewel n Cone? Jewel teaching her son how to be a dreamer too?

    Score! One brother laugh down! The youngest of the litter rolled over so he was sitting up. His red fur angled awkwardly in every way. He looked like a dropped robin out of the nest. He pulled a particularly tangled leaf out pf his pelt and spit it onto the ground with force. "Who knows! Maybe nobody's tried. Maybe I can! Dad could be part bird. Or mom could be part flying squirrel!"


    That's not how biology worked, but the kit didn't care. This was the age of imagination. He could think what he pleased.


    Conekit could blame himself mostly. He was just sitting there. Well not just sitting there, he was thinking of jokes. His first one went 'Why did the turtle cross the hills? I don't know ask the turtle!'. That one was his favorite so far. Conekit was the weakest and littlest out of his siblings. They always felt then need to protect him here and there. Suddenly a shadow crossed over him and his muzzle was shoved into the dirt. He let out a panicked kitten squeal before the paw rose back up. He spat our some yucky tasting dirt and looked up, face darkened with earth. It was mama! He smiled as if he didn't nearly get crushed.


    "Hey mama! Whatcha doing? I'm just getting myself in trouble!" He joked. Maybe this is why papa didn't want him out of the nursery yet.


    /it's fine! Friendly powerplay is all good!


    Conekit was a sickly thing, but he had the heart of a bird. His eyes gazing sky high. He wasn't about to let sickness drag him down into the dust. He tried to clear his throat once then twice. The kitten wriggled and jumped onto a rock about the size of him. He was now about two centimeters off the ground than he'd already been. The kitten puffed up proudly before wheezing out a "Hey! Anyone want to hear a joke? I've been working on mine!"


    Conekit's lips drew back in a broad grin. His silky tail flickering over his tiny paws. Round gaze bubbling he watched cats form around him. He only knew Sweetkit, but these were all very cool new faces! Conekit cleared his lungs so that is voice could be heard clearly. "So a cat walks up to me and goes, 'do you know how bees make honey?' And I say 'what?' They repeat themselves so I go 'sorry I must have pollen in my ears. I combed over my thoughts a bee-it but I hiven't the buggiest idea! So just buzz off and sting someone else for awhile!"


    Conekit waited now. His siblings usually took a moment before twacking him with their paws. He smirked ready for the groans of annoyance or giggles of a pun lover.
