The Brook Where The Duck Swims

[Bean]

Brooksnout decided that she wasn't going to lay in the nursery all day like she has the past few days. It was getting to the queen. This was her first time becoming a mother, and frankly, she didn't want to be one. At 16 moons old, all she ever thought of was becoming a warrior. Now she can't. Becoming a mother means she was going to look after... kits. Annoying, tiny, whining fluffballs. The best part? She couldn't return to her duties until they were 6 MOONS OLD. This was not what Brooksnout wanted. Yet, it is what was going to happen. As the heavily pregnant queen lay in the clearing, her green eyes flashed with irritation of her role. She had already spent so much time as a queen because of how far in she was, and yet the stupid kits hadn't come. It was annoying, to put it simply. The brown and white queen wished that she could not have kits, but that was not possible. And she wouldn't even think about killing them. Sure, they were annoying but they were also 'future warriors.' More like 'in 12-moons-they-will-be-warriors.'

As the queen lay in the clearing, she realized it was just as boring as being confined in the nursery. Just that there were more cats and no nests. She sighed. Brooksnout hated having nothing to do. So, she got up [well, she rolled over and scrambled in place before getting up], glaring at her swollen belly with anger. She slowly stalked over to her den, sighing with defeat. Today would be another day of nothing for the queen. It wasn't fair! She had always dreamed about becoming leader, proving she was better than her three oldest siblings, and yet she got stuck in the role she wanted nothing to do with, the role of a mother. A defeat.

Walking through the camp entrance, he spotted a cat walking into the nursery. A cat that looked... awfully bored and furious, to be exact. Well, Duckstumble could cheer her up, right? He padded toward the den brightly, before slipping on a leaf, of all things, and crashing beside the brown and white queen in a tangle of legs and fur. 'Uh, hi?' he mewed awkwardly as the cause of his accident drifted onto his nose... and then, of course, he sneezed. Well, that totally worked out.
