Nightpaw was born in late winter, so he never saw snow as a kit. As he got closer to his fourth season, though, he had more reason than most to be excited to see his first snow. The first snow of the year would mark the beginning of leaf-bare, and the end of his apprenticeship. When the first snow finally fell, his kitlike wonder was mingled with a sense of pride and accomplishment- he was going to become a warrior now!

Prompt

Gentlepaw was amazed by the white substance that fell from the sky. She gingerly set a paw into the piles of it outside of the den. She shivered at the sudden coldness. She was mesmerized at seeing her breath frost up as she breathed out. She felt her fellow apprentices burst out into the snow and pouncing around in it. A laugh left her throat before joining in their games.

Gentlepaw had a fun time in the snow. She helped dig tunnels to connect all the dens, stopping every once in a while to lick her paws to warm them again. After all of her activities, she huddled in the Apprentice's Den with the other apprentices. They moved their nests together to get warmth as they groom all the excess water and snow off of each other. Gentlepaw purred as she settled down.

Best first snow ever.

"What's snows mama," AshKit asked after the two of them, mother and son left the company of the stranger. 'It's much more dangerous to travel this land when it snows, your lucky you chose this time of year to travel' they had said.

BeechSong looked at her son with a contemplative look.

"I'm not quite sure, something that happens when it's cold, where I was born it didn't snow. I hear it's rather pretty."

AshKit looked around and sniffed the air a couple times.

"What does snow smell like?" He asked as if his mother held all the answers, looking up at her as she chuckled.

"Well, wait a couple moons and we can both find out what snow smells like, tastes like and looks like!"

AshKit smiled to himself and nodded, it was a plan!

-<>-

The first snow of the year fluttered from the sky, tiny drops of crystalline frost descending from the heavens. AshPaw looked to the sky and a tear trickled down from his face as he caught the sight of the mythical snow he had been told about many moons ago. They weren't tears of joy as he alone shuffled over to catch a falling piece of snow in his maw. Sniffling as he monologued aloud, hiccuping with tears as he went.

"It tastes like cold water."

A pause as he scented the air.

"Doesn't smell like much of anything."

A pause as the flow of tears overwhelmed him and he let out a broken sob.

"It looks beautiful, but I wish you were here to see it with me mama."

Name: Minnowpaw
Gender: Male
Age: 9 moons
Prompt:

"Psst.. Minnowkit. "

"Minnowkiiit.."

"Minnowkit!"

The little silver tom snorted suddenly as his slumber was interrupted by the voice calling for him. Blinking away the bleariness in his eyes, he yawned and craned his head around to see his brother's face peering in through the nursery entrance.

" Heroncry? Why are you here? " He mewed quietly, a light frown pressing.

The tall tom squeezed back out the den, his tall frame barely fitting through the entrance. " Come outside. There's something I want to show you. "

Sighing, the little tom stumbled to his paws and followed the point out through the den entrance. His eyes grew wide at what greeted him.

The entire camp was shrouded in a blanket of white, and tiny white specks floated through the air. " Snow? " Minnowkit squeaked. He had been told about snow, the cold crunchy stuff that accompanies leaf-bare.

Ahead of him, Heroncry trotted off, looking back to see if the kit was following. Eager to follow, Minnowkit took a tentative step forward, and suddenly cold engulfed his paw. " It's so cold! " He squeaked, hearing a mused mrow from the other tom.

As Heroncry moved off, Minnowkit watched as he left pawprints in the snow. Stretching as far as he could, he placed his paw into the large pawstep of the adult. And did it again with his other paw. And soon, he was hopping from pawstep to pawstep, following after his brother. Focused on his paw placement, he didn't notice the adult had stopped, and bumped into his leg, falling into the snow.

Giggling, Minnowkit began to roll around in the snow, and Heroncry shook his head with amusement as the little kit began to grow white and the snow clumped in his fur. " I love snow! " Minnowkit exclaimed with joy.

Prompt:
Wobblepaw had yet to see leafbare, this was her first. She had vague memories of her mother telling her about snow as a kit. Wobblepaw was amazed by the idea of snow, but her sister, Weeble was the one most excited about it. All she ever wanted was to see the snow and play in it with her sister. After all, they were inseparable. However, now the first snow was here, and Wobblepaw was experiencing it alone.

She'd woken up early again, hoping to have some time to hunt alone before the rest of the clan woke up and she was surrounded by others again. To her surprise, the cold that greeted her outside the den wasn't just the frost in the air. She was surrounded by soft, white piles of snow, blanketing the camp. Wobblepaw observed the snow with amazement, noticing the imprints her paws left and how cold and wet it felt. More flakes were falling slowly from overhead. The snow made the day dreary but somehow beautiful.

Wobblepaw sneaked out of camp, heading for the meadow, where the snow would still be smooth and untouched, She sat back as she watched the snow fall here and wondered if Weeble could see this from Starclan, or whatever afterlife rogues were sent to. Did she think it was as beautiful as she dreamed? Wobblepaw hung her head in shame and grief, suddenly wishing she could bury herself in the snow. Of course, Weeble would think it was beautiful. If only she were here to touch it.
