Stormy's Trip: Part 1
Chapter 1
It was warm, the sun shined, and a gentle breeze stroked the silky grass on the countryside. Stormy was living this moment up with her best friend, a cat named Jet. This was her favorite time of the year. Of course, this was her first year that she was alive.
"Jet," Stormy asked, "what do you say we explore a little bit?"
"Uh...." Jet replied, "don't you think we should ask our parents for permission first?"
"Come on! We're 4 months old," Stormy protested. "We can take care of ourselves!"
"Stormy," Jet argued, "I'm getting permission first."
Stormy sighed in exasperation. "Alright, wuss."
"No, you two aren't going," Fenix and Rocket scolded.
"Okay, knock it off you two," Jazzy scolded. "Come on, let them explore the world a little! If you two are so worried, why not go with them?"
"I love your thinking!" Nikki agreed.
"Okay, sounds like a plan to me," Fenix agreed. "Jazzy and I are going with Stormy. Nikki and Rocket, you're coming with Jet."
"YAY!!!!!" Jet and Stormy screamed at the same time.
"Wow, this place looks pretty," Jet commented as they walked past a lake.
"There's some tasty salmon in there too," Rocket said, hinting Nikki that he was hungry.
"Oh, alright," Nikki said. "Come on girls, we're going to have lunch."
Stormy and Jet ate their fish, and set off down through the countryside, completely forgetting about their parents.
"Stormy! Stormy?" Jazzy called out as she began to get scared.
"Jet! Jet where are you," Nikki called out with worry.
"This is bad," Fenix commented as he searched around some rocks.
"Can you smell them," Jazzy asked Rocket.
"I'm trying, but I'm not picking up any scent!" Rocket replied.
As worry began to set in, so did the sun. The parents realized that they wouldn't be able to find Stormy and Jet before it was dark, so they roosted up in a nearby tree, hoping to find the morning just around the corner...
Jet and Stormy, however, completely disregarded the darkness and allowed the moonlight to lead them. Just at that moment, Jet remembered...
"Uh, Stormy," Jet said with worry, "where are our parents..?"
Stormy looked around, but saw nothing but a plain of grass.
"Hey, what was that?!"
