↟↟↟ . Games. The life of a kit was full of them, supplemented by them even. They were part of learning and moving and part of passing the time - which there was a lot of when you had no responsibilities in the clan.

Pinekit had probably played all the games a kitten could in his short three months of life. Moss ball, playing leader, play fighting, hide and seek, building pebble piles, king of the rock, scavenger hunts, and badger rides. Badger rides was his favorite. It was a mindless game but that didn’t matter. All a game needed to be in order to be loved was fun. Badger rides was super fun!

Pinekit remembered the first time he’d watched one of the older kits initiate the game. He had been in awe and hadn’t been able to resist a smile. Today, Pinekit was going to start a game of badger ride.

With an excited grin on his face, he clumsily clambered atop the tree stump next to the elder’s den. His climb up the stump was painfully slow and he slid back down the wood’s surface a couple times before finally succeeding. Despite his rocky start, once perched on top of the old tree stump his confidence and excitement was renewed. The mission of his game was on his mind.

His pale green eyes searched for a target as he kept his little body crouched at the edge of the stump. He huddled his body down in his best attempts to make himself less noticeable. He watched the activity in camp. The longer he waited the more his excitement and attention wavered, but he stuck with it. Finally a worthy “badger” came near enough to the elder’s den tree stump.

Pinekit kicked off the stump. For a moment his hind legs refused to work having grown slightly numb and stiff from waiting and he stumbled. In an uncoordinated and haphazard leap, the kit sprung onto the back of a passersby. ”Ba- adger ride!!” he mewled, digging tiny pinprick claws into their pelt in order to keep from slipping off their back. His body was tense and his eyes were shut tightly as he clung.

Comfreypaw had just returned to camp, preyless and paw-sore. She believes she’s getting better at hunting, but there’d been a distinct chill in the air this morning when she’d stirred from her nest. She’s never felt cool weather before, and though it is not bone-chilling as Heavybranch once told her leafbare could be, she does wonder how much longer it will be before the snows are coming. She remembers the stories the older cats had told of the leafbare they’d suffered, the first season ShadowClan had starved through—and that, combined with the yellowcough…

The charcoal tabby she-cat sighs. She should not be so pessimistic; StarClan knows there is enough of that in ShadowClan without her adding to it! She should be pepping her Clanmates up. She should be—

Her thoughts are interrupted by a distinct kittish shriek. “Ba-adger ride!” Tiny claws pierce the rippling striped fur on her back, and she yelps—more out of surprise than pain. “Pinekit??” She stumbles, feeling the little tomkit steady himself on her back and shoulders. “Ah—you’re too big to be getting badger rides, you’re almost an apprentice!” Still, her scolding is corrupted by a bashful smile. “Oh, fine… but only once around camp, got it?” She does her best to move with him rigidly poised on her back, but her gait is labored and slow as she does… like a real badger, she thinks ruefully.

↟↟↟ . ”Mmmph,” he grunted as he tried to balance himself on Comfreypaw’s back. A big warrior like Smogmaw or Frostbite would have been preferred for a ride but Pinekit had gotten impatient. He wanted to jump so badly and poor Comfrey was the first to happen by.

Her suggestion of him being too big was thought provoking. It was a metaphorical swipe behind the ears for the young cat. He really would be an apprentice soon.. His height was increasing with each passing week. He was slowly and surely leaving his kitten body behind. And unfortunately probably badger rides too.

Still Comfreypaw didn’t seem to have the heart to outright deny him. After a momentary pensive look, the tom softened his features into a carefree grin. He was going to get a ride after all - even if it was not as exhilarating as usual. ”Okay…,” he agreed to only one lap around the camp, then added, ” I would be smaller if I could!” He briefly imagined if he stayed small then he would be able to get badger rides from his clanmates forever.

He gripped onto dark fur as he was paraded slowly around by the tired apprentice. He blushed under his fur because he wanted to ask her to run faster but he realized that that would be greedy and rude.

DON'T YOU GIVE ME UP, PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP

the leader can't help the little laugh that leaves them. it... was a good thing the kit hadn't been sick and had his spirits about him. with such a dreary leafbare fast approaching, they can only imagine what that will do to them. they gently groom their fur, being sure to get every little bit of gunk and dirt out. they snorted as they pulled out a pine needle before looking up at comfreypaw and pinekit. hm.

"i'll give you one once comfreypaw finishes, okay? that way you don't have to be smaller. you'll have a bigger badger."
