This was not his fight, and he knew it; he felt proud of his friend. She was standing up for herself and showing Lobsterpaw that she wasn't a weak, short-legged apprentice. When she joined him again and finished telling the RiverClan apprentice off, he felt a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "That," he began, "was awesome, Newt-Newt!"

“Let’s see you attract a mate with that look, fishbreath.” The small apprentice sneered and swiftly turned on her paws, kicking some dirt up with her back paws towards him as she padded back to her shaded spot under a tree with her best friend, Lionpaw, who seemed to be looking at her with pure amazement. Newtpaw smiled up at the larger, golden brown-furred male and sat down beside him, licking some of the foxheart’s blood off her paw and spitting out the nasty, salty material out into the dirt. “You think so?” The short-legged female purred, her ears perking up at the tom-cat’s praise, “I mean, I won’t lie, it felt good to do that - stand up for myself and show that idiot how strong I can actually be.” Newtpaw unsheathed her claws and at this moment, she felt proud of herself and knew that never again would she let someone pick on her, or Lionpaw, ever again.
