"Sorry Bracken! just wanted to make sure he wasn't hiding under you!" she purred, a crazed look on her face as she ran blindly around, searching for the unlikely friend. It is said, that great minds think alike, well now we know that crazy minds think alike too! Brackenheart thought as Silentshade decided to play along. "Oh look! I think I found him!" she trilled as she pointed with her tail to a rock in the middle of the river. "Um Silentshade, that's a rock, you silly birdie!" Clovershine bopped Silentshade on the nose with her paw before flouncing over to the tree. "I knew you was there! I just played crazy to make it more fun! and it worked!" she yelled up it.

Crow poked his head out, still smiling. "Soooo my turn?" He asked, and fell forward, having leaned too much towards Clovershine. He fell otomw he ground with a audible thump, and even though it looked like the fall would've hurt a lot Crow simply got back up, still smiling happily.

She didn't mean to be sickly at the moment- really, she'd likely been spending too much time with her mate, Swampstone, to even notice if anything was going on with her health. She guessed she could check in with Geckoleaf and her little sister sometime, but she was sure she'd get better soon- it wasn't like she did anything to get herself sick. She was already so busy with her father's new mate and her mother's return- a mother she looked just like, in fact. She was almost Shellfeather's mirror image, whether she liked it or not, and so she didn't talk to her father much. She never connected with any of her parents, in fact- only Swampstone.
Her and Seapaw used to be close, but they drifted. The last time she saw her was a fight. She'd been yelling at her sister, blaming her for everything that had gone wrong in her life- and as she walked next to these new cats, she didn't regret what she'd said. Seapaw used to be her friend, and she'd been left behind. Maybe these cats were nicer, but due to the apprentice's back-talk, it was almost like she needed a little push.

Dappleblossom sharp gaze lost it's edge and returned to her a softer sight. She looked at the other warrior and with a nod, she led the two. She stopped them at the edge of the river. The rush of the water so close to her made her legs quiver, but she attempted to quickly shake it off before the others notice. She turns her face towards them, but not so much that her back is to the water, afraid it would suddenly reach out and drag her in it's deadly liquidified maw. "This is where all of the fish for the clan is found." She explained. "This is also where you'll learn to swim as well as for fish for RiverClan. You don't need to learn about it now, but just keep it in-.... mind?" As she looked over the river as she talked she saw a glimpse of something peculiar. It was like the small glimpse of a travelling flame, across the water. It was so bright and orange... like some short of a blaze. It mesmerized Dappleblossom's eyes. The colors brought sentimental memories. Scorchingflame? "I'll be right back." She says without providing any explanation to where she is going. "Stay here you both." And she pads quickly away before they could object to her sudden leave. She searches for the bright color she saw before and followed it along the riverbed.

Tinypaw hadn't ever found a sound so loud; the rushing water made crashing sounds as it sped towards the ocean. It was filled up pretty high, the melted snow from earlier in the year as well as the recent rain contributed to it likely. When Dappleblosom said she'd be right back, Tinypaw frowned, wondering what her mentor could have seen to make her get up and leave in such a hurry. But Tinypaw shrugged it off and mentally went over what her mentor had taught her moments before about the river.
Tinypaw crouched down, peering down into the fast moving river. She saw nothing but stones, and the white froth from the water crashing into the rocks. But then, something silver flash, cutting through the water like a knife. Her eyes widened as she bent down lower, seeing that it was a fish. But not just one; there were many. Tiny, silver, thin fish, only about the length of her paw. "Whoa. They swim so fast! I wish i could swim like that. Then agai, I've never tried. Who knows, maybe I could swim like that!" She said with a smile, marvelling at their speed. But Tinypaw knew deep down that it wouldn't be possible; her short limbs wouldn't allow that. But then again, these fish didn't exactly have limbs at all.

Silverspot padded alongside Blizzardtail, resting her head on his broad shoulders, a warming smile plastered on her face, a loving twinkle in her eyes. "I'm glad to be out hunting..but the best part is it's with you," she looked into Blizzardtail's eyes and touched her nose tip to his, resting her tail on his back, a bright smile on her face. "I just wish I hadn't been so busy.. so we could..spend more time together, just like this," she added. "I've missed you.. a lot." At the end of that sentence, she giggled and a small--though hearable--snort escaped her vocal cords. The grey-spotted she-cat's cheeks turned a bush of red roses under her pelt.
She then looked down, admiring the soft touch of the caressing, soothing grass beneath her paws, as she buried her head into Blizzardtail's soft fur. "It's almost as soft as your pelt," she commented.
She felt the rocky ground, and assumed they were reaching the river.
She squinted her eyes, increasing her vision, and stretched her head slightly foward. She looked back at Blizzardtail. "We're almost there," she informed him. Hmm.. she thought, before narrowing her eyes with a playful laugh.
"I bet I can beat you to the river!" Silverspot challenged her mate,
before zipping away.

The warrior weaved through the reeds on the territory, her dark silver fur simmered in the sunlight. She made sure that she was far away from the rivers edge, the very sound of the water gently lapping at the shore was enough to set her nerves on edge. She hated it, the sound, the waves, the smell, every time she heard the liquid memories of the testing lab came flooding back, images of her drowning, the feeling of her lungs filling with the blue, nightmares came flooding into her mind during the day, it was horrible. Oceanbubble stopped, took a deep breath and turned her sapphire blue eyes gleamed with joy and flashed with fear whenever a wave small wave crashed against the riverside. She gave her companion a shy smile and giggled "Sorry...I kinda forgot where we were going....what was the plan again?" she asked, her voice sweet and smooth, it was true, she was only listening a little bit when she was offered to go hunting with her newly found companion, which she quickly accepted considering the fact that she didn't really wish to go out in the territory alone. The warrior stopped walking and turned to face her companion, her head tilted slightly to the right "I vote we go near the middle of the territory instead of by the...River. That would be preferred." she stated, her tail flicked behind her. Although she wasn't one to hide her phobia of the water, she just didn't want to explain why, and every time she told another of her phobia they always had to ask why she thought that way or why she was even in Riverclan since she had such a phobia, it made her incredibly uncomftrable. The warrior turned her attention out towards the middle of the territory and hoped that her clanmate would accept her offer.

(This is heartbreaking)
What a wonderful day... The sky was spotted with only a couple of clouds but behind that a beautiful blue. The weather in new-leaf often flip flopped from sunny to rainy and luckily he and Silverspot had taken their walk at a good time. However the wonderful part about it wasn't the temperature, it was her. Blizzardtail didn't need to say anything as anyone could see the love that clouded his gaze. He simply nodded at her words and enjoyed the soft touch of her furs against his own thick white pelt.
His heart began to speed with excitement as he set off after her with a large leap of speed. Obviously Silverspot remained ahead of him because he was the sort of heavy set tom but he kept good speed. The smooth pepples felt nice along his pads as he ran after the she-cat he loved. Could the day be any more perfect? He began to imagine their future. Their love getting stronger and their kits growing up. Blizzardtail was yanked harshly from his daydreaming as he stumbled a bit on some loose rocks near the cliff above the water. The rain must have loosened the soil beneath them... He continued to speed after Silverspot while calling after her, "Silverspot! Be Carefu-" His warning was cut off with a gasp of alarm as one of the rocks beneath him slid off and fell over the incline and into the very strong current. The tom couldn't get a footing on the slippery mud and began to slip over the cliff. "Help!" Blizzardtail managed to yowl out in panic before he completely slipped off and fell towards the splashing river below.

Emerging from the camp entrance and bracing herself for the newleaf breeze, Cricketpaw remained close to Whisperblaze, letting her fur brush his for what she hoped was added comfort in his time of grieving. A slightly chilling breeze swept past her, ruffling her already short fur, and for a moment the Bengal cursed her genetics. Of course short fur made swimming in all of the rivers around camp easier, and made greenleaf much more enjoyable, but the leaf-bare's were miserable for her. She blinked her blue eyes against the sting of frost that still seemed to linger, glancing sideways over at her companion to make sure he was still by her side.
She was still getting used to her role in the Clan of helping those in need and allowing herself to be the one others could vent to, and open up about certain things. Ever since Shellfeather had come back, most RiverClan cats had gotten over the initial shock and were welcoming her back with open paws. There were a few in particular, however, that were hesitant to get close. Her, for instance, and Russetstar. She could see it in her dads eyes when he had first saw her. The dread, the confusion, the hurt... Unconciously, she flexed her forepaws, letting her claws dig into the dirt. She felt a special bond with her father, one that her mother would never understand, and to see him hurting like this made her angry.
Think about Whisperblaze, about what he needs, a voice urged her, and Cricketpaw forced the bile back down her throat, letting her muscles relax under her command. "I'm sorry that Shellfeather is back. With any luck, she'll be gone before sundown," Cricketpaw laughed hoarsely, shaking her head at her pathetic attempt of a joke. Focusing on Whisperblaze now, she sighed. "Where do you wanna head to first?" she asked, blinking curiously as she awaited his answer.

Brackenheart stared with pure shock at the strange tom. That guy never gets tired! he didn't know what to do so he just went to sit beside Silentshade. " They are both utterly crazy!" he whispered as he watched Clovershine play with the tom, giggling like the fluff-brain she was. "I know! Never in all my life did I think that I would meet a cat as insane as Clovershine is, and yet here he is!" she said as she watched Clovershine nod.

I nodded happily as I waited for who ever this new best friend was to close his eyes and start counting! I wonder what he was doing? Why is he here? Did STARCLAN JUST ANSWER MY PRAYERS?! I thought. For moons now I had been asking Starclan for a friend that is as crazy as I am and now he's here, playing hide-and-seek with me! "Thank you starclan!" I breathed out, turning even more thistle-brained than I originally was with glee at the thought.

Whisperblaze felt an instant relief when leaving camp. he didnt know what was going to happen, what Russet was going to say to Shell, and frankly he didnt want to find out right now. He was scared what the end result would be, what would happen, what the future held. Am I in his future? Perhaps he was a little dramatic for questioning Russet but he didnt know what Shells motives were. Loss hung thick in the air though as soon as he stepped into the nursery. he wouldnt bring it up, atleast not yet. He took comfort in her physical affection, pressing back against her gently. Partially because he needed it emotionally and the other so he didnt fall from how wobbly his legs were. His ears perked at the question slightly, ¨Theres a trail that me and Russet always liked to walk. We walked it when he confessed to me.¨ he smiled at the thought, the day it happened, the look in his mates eyes when he told him, that goofy smile as he gave a nerdy compliment about his eyes and held him close. It was a moment they cherish, a moment Whisper would never forget. Whisper looked to the side of him at the molly. It seemed she was a spitting image of her father it seemed like and it only made him give a small smile. He let the l=way, letting his paws lead them.

Crow laid down and closed his eyes, putting his paws over his eyes and started counting, his tail wagging happily like a dog. "Oooone... Twoooo... threeeeee..."
