Preparations



Second to last epi of Crime/Season 1 Aahhhh.

All worries were to be let go. Smokedapple knew that. She attached a heart on a tree wringing it to the streamer. The gatheringplace was now transforming into an elegant grand place.

"We need more cats helping with the streamer management!", Lilacstar, the new leader called. Strongclaw, the deputy nodded. "And you three can take a break. You have been working nonstop.", he nodded, at Dustwhisker, Smokedapple, and Crystalblaze.

Smokedapple decided to use her time by visiting, Nightsparkle and her new kits. She padded inside the nursery. She saw the black furred queen suckling 3 small, small kits. Then she saw Glorykit wrapping her tail protectively around them. She tried not to bristle. "Hello Nightsparkle! Have you named them yet?" The queen looked up. "Hello there Smokedapple!", she sounded tired but happy. "Yes, the black one is Glistenkit. Tortoiseshell is Dapplekit. And gray one is Stonekit." "Those are marvelous names", Smokedapple commented before she left.

As she walked out, she saw scraps of leftover hearts. She picked them up and walked to the camp entrance when she collided with Dustwhisker. "Out of the way!", he snapped. Then relaxed when Smokedapple flinched. "Sorry. I didn't mean it", he rushed away. Even though she was cowed by the snap, she still blushed. Maybe he liked her. Maybe that was why he rushed away.

She looked up at the sky. ''Prettypaw, prepare. I will destroy you. Oh wait, I already have.'' She was suddenly aware of Swiftpaw staring at her with round eyes. She narrowed her eyes. Did he know what she was thinking?

'''Super short. What is wrong with me? I promise, next episode will be moons longer, it's the finale, of course,'''
