ThunderClan Territory

Maybe she's like to do this often. Not the territory getting attacked by foxes, of course, but fighting that was actually a challenge, defending her Clan. Still, she couldn't wait to get back to camp and take her nap. She looked up at the sky, but she wasn't good at telling weather. To her the sky looked the same as before, but she still had to make sure. "Do you think it's still going to rain?" She asked, continuing to make her way back to camp behind MorningBlue.

Morningblue looked up at the sky, still feeling alive from the chase. Then he glanced back the the she-cat and meowed, "No. I think it blew over. Perfect napping weather."

"How kind of you, Furball," she replied with a smirk. This was already fun, and they hadn't even started! Rosebelly stood up, making sure her claws were sheathed. "When you're ready.." After mock bowing, Rosebelly playfully lashed her tail and got in a battle stance. The ginger she-cat then leaped for Morningblue, letting out a mrrow! of laughter.

(SHORT SORRY!)

Morningblue sprang out of the way of Rosebelly's leap at the last moment and spun, gently tapping the she-cat squarely in the middle of her back as she zoomed by. "So close. Care to try again?" The blue-furred tom now wore a wide and mischievous grin. When was the last time he'd come out to simply spar? He had been right though, this little she-cat was no match. "Or I can take my turn," he meowed low, a teasing purr.

Rosebelly landed on her feet, her eyes gleaming with new determination. "Take your best shot, Furball," she challenged with a grin. Rosebelly chuckled at his mischievous face. It was so odd to see such a stone-faced tom wear such a bright expression! The ginger she-cat lifted her chin high.

(Aw learned something new today!)

"Oh I will," said the tom, crouching as he grinned. With a single fluid motion, he leapt toward the shecat and faked left, hoping to get her to guard that side and expose her right shoulder for a tag.

The feint worked. Rosebelly sprang towards the right, avoiding any attack from the left. Her amber eyes gleamed with triumph.

With her right shoulder open, Morningblue aimed a quick paw strike there with enough force to rattle but not unbalance Rosebelly.

Rosebelly stumbled, and one of her legs fell forward. If he wanted to play it like that, she would too. Getting back up, Rosebelly grinned. She bounded towards Morningblue, and made a feeble attempt to strike at his right cheek, and then a more powerful atttempt to strike at his left. Rosebelly suspected Morningblue may realize what she's doing, but still tried.

The shecat got up close after recovering from the stumble and Morningblue saw the pitiful blow at his right cheek coming a tree length off. He moved his head aside and dodged easily. She'll have to do better than- Morningblue's thoughts came careening to a hault as Rosebelly's other paw struck him squarely on the cheek. For an instant, he froze, surprised to have fallen for such a basic trick. "Oh, you've done it now!" He meowed. The tom dropped into a crouch and sprang upward with his paws out and enough force to knock the shecat on her back.

Rosebelly amber eyes gleamed with triumph. She had successfully hit the better fighter! Rosebelly's triumph came to a halt as Morningblue tackled her. Rosebelly landed hard on her back, and in response she kicked upward, hoping to kick him back off.

The bigger tom let the shecat kick him in the belly, a small huff of air escaping him as he kept the shecat pinned. Morningblue leaned in, nearly touching Rosebelly's nose with his. "You can do better than that," he meowed softly. He stepped to the side to free Rosebelly to get up. "Show me something good, oh mighty patrol leader," he said casually, though his words came out sounding caustic. He was itching for a more intense match. "If you can."
