(Max)

It was a pretty normal day for Max, until he talked to Cherry. He got up, ate, and went outside.  He talked to Fern and Alaska, and found out they where having kits soon. Then he ran into Cherry."Hey!" Max said "How are you? Did you know your sister's having kits soon?"
 "Hi, good, and really?!" Cherry replide. "Ok, what's on your mind Cherry." Max asked. "Well, we have kits." Cherry said. Max's mouth dropped open. "What?! When, how..." Max stuttered "Slow down!" Cherry said "I'm going to have our real kits, but I found other abondond kits we can raise." Max fluffed up with the thought of his own kits. "Well, can I see the adopted kits?" Max asked. "Sure." Cherry said "Let's go!"


"They're so sweet!" Max said. He was looking down at the kits. They were all curled up in a pillow, playing. Fern's kits had came the other day, and Cherry would have her kits any time now. The kits looked so innocent, but they were already 3 moons old. Max and Cherry knew the kits would be taken soon, but they enjoyed the time they had. The kits, Moon, Kibble, Cresent, and Tuna, all thought Cherry was their mom. Max looked at his mates round belly and thought to himself, I would do anything for them and Cherry. He was shaken out of his daydream by the housefolk coming in their little house with a cage. "It's time." Max said. The kits knew this day was coming. They pressed up against Cherry and Max, and walked into the cage. "Goodbye!" they said. "We love you." Cherry said and watch them go away. Max looked around the cozy house both their housefolk had built for them, realizing they were mates. Max looked at Cherry silently crying. "It's ok, Cherry Tree, we'll have our own soon."

Cherry hadn't seen Max ever since they got back from, the cave. She shuttered as she though of that night. She looked around too see what her housefolk were doing. Ok, so big male is watching the "magic" box. Cherry thought. Big female left with little male. And the medium female is...... Cherry looked around from her bed. not here. Cherry decided. She yawned and got up to look outside. Listen at those birds chirping. She thought. She listened more and realized.Wait... Those don't sound like birds, they sound like KITS!!!! Cherry yowled in alarm and ran into the "magic" box room and yowled at the top of her lungs. The big male looked annoyed, but got up and opened up the door. Cherry raced out and turned around at the housefolk and mewed at him to fallow. After a moment, the big male fallowed. A few step later he realized what was wrong and ran ahead of Cherry, as he now could see them, in the river! He ran right up and grabbed them out and ran to the house. Cherry nosed into the cage place and knocked it to the ground yanked a furry "blanket" and nosed it in. She got up on her hind legs and pushed it over to the big male and yowled, getting in and motioning with her tail. He got the idea and put the kits in with her, picked it up, and ran outside and put them in the monster. The big male quickly awakened the monster and pushed a few things, and Cherry soon heard the voice of The Cutter. They got there quickly and hurried inside. The Cutter's helper pointed them to a room. The big male ran in and put them on the table. The Cutter ran in and opened the cage. "Don't worry, little ones," Cherry whispered to the frightened kits."Your safe now "

The sunlight began creeping into the little cave they were sleeping in. When Cherry woke up, she felt a bit sick. Max was still sleeping, so Cherry shook him awake and they started home. Once again they nuzzled goodbye, and parted ways. Cherry jumped when she saw her housefolk staring out the window. She purred with glee and ran over too the door. Her housefolk pet her and snuggled her, fed her, and for the rest of the day she stayed with her housefolk.

Cherry woke up and started yowling. The female housefolk kit woke up and reached over to Cherry and started petting her too try to calm her down. She saw the housefolk looked scared, so she settled down a bit. She hopped out of bed and mewed at the housefolk kit too fallow her, and than she started of to the back door. When she got there, she looked at expectantly at the kit, so the kit let her out. When she was out she went over to Ferns house and yowled. She heard movement and a few heartbeats later, Fern and Alaska came bounding out of the house. "Yes?" Fern asked, looking annoyed "What do you want?!" "Guess what?" Cherry replied "I have a mate!" Fern looked excited, than worried. "Wait, what will Max think?!" She said, worriedly. "Silly!" Alaska laughed "I bet Max is her mate!" "Your right Alaska,"Cherry said "Max is now my mate!" Fern jumped up on her hind legs and and clapped her front paws together. "Good for you!" she yowled, and broke off when her housefolk called for her and Alaska. "Well, looks like we should go, Fern." Alaska said too his mate. "Bye you two!" Cherry yowled "Bye Cherry!" and than Fern and Alaska went into their nest. Cherry heard a door opening and turned around. It was Max! " Hi Cherry Tree!" he yowled. "Hey Max!" she said, walking over too him "Wanna go for a walk?" she asked. "Sure." he replied. And they started off into the woods.


"Look at the sun!" Max cried "It's going down now!" Cherry's eyes opened wide with fear. "It's going down!" she yowled "We should find a den for the night." Max suggested "At least we'll be warm." Cherry nodded, and mewed. "How about there?" she suggested, pointing. "Ok, that looks good." he agreed and they padded over there. when they got in, the snuggled up and went too sleep.

The whole walk home Cherry was trying to realize what just happened. Max choose me over Cedarfoot... I have a mate! What will Fern say??? Cherry had all these thing run through her head as she continued down the rocky path. She wanted too talk with Max, but he looked just as shocked as she felt. How can he stand it? she thought. After walking a while she saw the light of the town. In a few minutes, they arrived at the gate. Max nuzzled her good night and went into his nest. Cherry looked at her nest, but decided she needed some time to herself. She hoped onto her fence and looked out at the forest. Wow, this sure is beautiful, she thought just look at the stars! She stayed out for a while, than heard her worried housefolk calling too her. Well my time is up. And hopped off the fence and into the yard. She went into the tiny door, quickly ate her food, and hoped into bed with the female housefolk kit. And than she drifted off to sleep. 

Cherry woke up under a tree, stars swirling around her. Suddenly, they stopped and formed themselves into cats! She quickly backed up, but suddenly the tree disappeared and she fell into water. A fiery orange cat stepped forwards and said "How dare you tamper with the clan?! How dare you tamper with the deputy?! How dare you tamper with US?!" the cat yowled as she sank deeper and deeper in the water. And then the water closed over her head into darkness.

CIRCUS AFRO!

Max stared at his sister, than at Cherry. He loved both of them, but he could only choose one of them. He looked at Cedarfoot and took a deep breath. I can't believe I'm doing this he thought. Than he made his choice. "Cedarfoot, I love you, but I need to be with Cherry." His sister looked stunned. "Come on Cherry." Cherry fallowed.


When they were home, Max nuzzled her good bye and than went into his nest. His housefolk looked happy too see him and gave him his dinner. For awhile he watched TV with them, something about a weird male housefolk in a silly costume, Captain America as he found out it was called. Than he fallowed the female housefolk to bed and laid on her feet. What did I do? How could I betray my sister? he thought as he drifted off too sleep.
