## Life

### Kithood

Poolkit was very active, always playing with someone. One day, he was playing with his brother, who was playing with a she-kit named Swiftkit. Poolkit formally introduced himself and asked the she-kit's name. She replied with, "Swiftkit." He smiled, and, still being in a playful mood, he tackled her. She purred and tried to shove him off, but he wouldn't budge. He laughed and rolled off of her, licking her cheek.

Swiftkit was getting apprenticed. The clan gathered, and as Poolkit made his way to the front, he caught Swiftkit's eye. He ran up to her, and licked her cheek, murmuring words of encouragement. Swiftkit smiled at Poolkit as Badgerstar began the ceremony.

Poolkit walked up to Blazingkit, who was laying on his back. Poolkit asked his brother for advice with girls, with Blazingkit responding by getting flustered, saying he doesn't like anyone. Blazingkit asked Poolkit who he liked, and Poolkit responded with, "Swiftkit." and started talking about her. Blazingkit got angry, and Poolkit realized his brother liked her too. Blazingkit and Poolkit began to scream at each other, and both unsheathed their claws as Poolkit held back tears. Blazingkit and Poolkit fought, and Poolkit bit Blazingkit's ear and clawed his eye. Blazingkit got a deep claw mark on Poolkit's left shoulder, and that's when Mosslight came up, broke up the fight and then took Poolkit to the medicine den. Paleheart and Mosslight both questioned their kits.

After the fight, he sought out his older brother, Oakstrike. He confessed that he liked Swiftpaw to Oakstrike, and asked many questions on how to get her to like him back. Oakstrike told him to be himself, and not to be too romantic. After Poolkit told Oakstrike about his fight with Blazingkit, he said that he had made the first move. Oakstrike sighed, and walked over to the warriors den, telling Poolkit to follow him. Oakstrike settled into his nest, but left room for his little brother. Poolkit climbed in, and cuddled up to the warrior. Oakstrike wrapped his tail around Poolkit, and offered to tell him the story about him, Beechstorm, and Sunstrike when they were apprentices. Poolkit eagerly accepted. Soon, after the story, Poolkit realized what he had done. The weight of the fight hit him like a load of bricks. He asked Oakstrike if Blazingkit would ever forgive him, and Oakstrike reassured his brother. Poolkit fell asleep leaning on Oakstrike.

Poolkit and Swiftpaw were having a conversation. Poolkit went to walk away because Swiftpaw stated that she was leaving camp, but Swiftpaw stopped him and asked him if he wanted to go with her. He smiled mischievously and agreed. But after they had left camp, Poolkit asked Swiftpaw who she liked. She got angry and snapped at him. He yelled that he liked her, and she asked why. Poolkit said that he didn't know why, as a tear rolled down his cheek. Swiftpaw said she didn't know what to do with that information, forced a smile and turned away. Poolkit whispered that he was sorry and ran off into the forest. Later on, when Swiftpaw tried to talk to Poolkit, she said she didn't like him, but asked if they could still be friends, and without a word, he walked away. Poolkit turned to look at Swiftpaw, and again, she tried to apologize. Poolkit said that he had trusted her, and she had hurt him. She said that he could still trust her and she didn't mean to hurt him. He responded with, "The HELL if I can! You broke my heart! I loved you!" Poolkit didn't expect her to reply, so when she did, she asked if this is how he wanted things to be, and he whispered, "No, I wanted you to love me back." she replied with, "Well, maybe I could love you." Poolkit cried out that he still loved her, and collapsed crying. Swiftpaw laid next to him, and nuzzled him, saying that she loved him as a brother. Poolkit yelled at her about Coalpaw, saying that he was a ThunderClan flea-bag. Swiftpaw said that she didn't belong either, and Poolkit screamed at her to leave.

Poolkit burst into the Med den, after hearing yelling. He saw Paleheart laying on his stomach, head on paws, blood everywhere. He ran up to him, curled up by his stomach, and sobbed, ignoring the blood washing over him. After the whole day of crying with Oakstrike, he fell asleep. It was a fitful sleep, and he had nightmares. He saw his father dying, and Swiftpaw woke him up after she heard him screaming, "Daddy, no!" Poolkit, drunk with sleep, asked Swiftpaw not to leave him, and she crawled into the nest, just to comfort him. He fell asleep leaning on her, and she left near dawn, careful not to wake up Poolkit.

Poolkit told Blazingkit that Swiftpaw liked Coalpaw. Blazingkit began to cry, so Poolkit went over and wrapped his tail around him. Blazingkit and Poolkit apologized for the fight, and both of them began to sob. They said they loved each over and over, as well as saying sorry even more. Blazingkit said that it was better that Swiftpaw had chosen Coalpaw instead of having to choose one of the brothers. Poolkit agreed, and promised that he would never fight Blazingkit again.

### Apprenticeship

Poolkit became Poolpaw along with Blazingkit, Dewkit, Hawkkit, and Adderkit.

Poolpaw met Willowpaw, and was instantly entranced. However, his current crush, Heatherpaw was nearby. He flirted with Heatherpaw, and joked with Willowpaw at the same time. Multiple times Poolpaw called Heatherpaw pretty, while she said, "You're not too bad yourself, though."
