Helping Maplepaw

[Opalfur]

Where is Maplepaw...she is taking a long time to get here... When she sees Maplepaw, "What took you so long." Opalpaw meowed irritably. "Ok what do you want me to show you?" I'm not really good at this, all I did was pin her down....I wish Freepaw was here helping she is good at that kind of stuff.

[Mapletail]

"Sorry about the wait. Well on the way here i smelled mouse, vole, and rabbit. Well I got all three of them. i figured it was a good time to hunt. The clan needs food. So how about those fighting moves? Can you show me?"

[Opalfur]

"Uh...I can try I guess....Jump on me like you did earlier and I will slowly show you what I will do." Ugh....I hope I do this right... "Ok, I'm ready, you can pounce on me now, but keep your claws in, I would rather you didn't scatch me." Opalpaws stood there waiting for Maplepaw to pounce.

[Mapletail]

"Ok then. i just jump on you like earlier. (to her self.)" Maplepaw jumps and lands squarely on Opalpaws back. "Like this? Now what do i do Opalpaw?" I hope i don't mess up and make a fool out of myself in front of Opalpaw! "Now what do i do Opalpaw?"

<sub>Jetmoon had followed the two apprentices, and much to the tom's surprise, neither of them seemed to notice him. He clambered into a tree, the easiest vantage point he had, and watched them training. I'm glad ForestClan has such vigilant apprentices. They will make excellent warriors, with a bit more training of course. Realizing he sounded exactly like a stuffy old warrior, he continued to observe their training.

I could go down there and show them a couple of moves, after they've had a bit to train on their own, Jetmoon thought. He grinned, watching Maplepaw jump and land squarely on Opalpaw's back. Perfect! He cheered silently. Flicking his tail, he resumed watching what happened next, knowing that his black pelt would be blending him in with the tree's shadows.</sub>

[Opalfur]

"Ok like this..." Opalpaw roles over to where her back, with Maplepaw still gripped onto her. So now Maplepaw is the one under Opalpaw. Opalpaw flips over to where her paws can pin Maplepaw down. She did this, surprisingly, in one swift movement, but it was slow enough for Maplepaw to see what had happened. "Now you try, I'll jump on your back so you can try it on me." I'll go easy on her....

[Mapletail]

Maplepaw thought, What a great jump! She is better than I thought! Now Maplepaw slithered from under Opalpaws paws and held her down. Maplepaw hissed in Opalpaws ear, "I thought you were better then this! Your more like a kittypet after eating all day!"

[Opalfur]

"Not better than a kittypet? Ya right! I'm way better than any kittypet!" At this Opalpaw swiftly pushed Maplepaw off of her and charged at her. Knocking Maplepaw off of her feet, "How was that? I bet you a kittypet couldn't have done it!" The kittypet remark made Opalpaw angry, even though she knew Maplepaw was just kidding.

[Mapletail]

"Ok, Ok mousebrain, i was only joking! Get off you great lump! Your so DENSE!!! You knew i was just joking and you still tackled me! Lets keep practicing! We need to get better! When are we due back for patrol? Tonight right? So you want to eat something before we continue?"

[Opalfur]

"I am not dense, you are the second cat to say that to me!" Ugh... " And we can't eat yet because we have to feed the clan, before we feed ourselves. Oh gosh....I am turning into Freepaw, I am beginning to tackle out of anger...this isn't good... "So, do you want to go back to camp? We could go to the apprentice's den."

[Mapletail]

"Well, i guess we could go back to camp. Just don't tackle me like that again!"Maplepaw rushes over to were she put her fresh kill and picks it up. "Lets hurry back so we can eat and sleep before we go on patrol with Jetmoon and who ever else we bring. Race ya!"

[Opalfur]

"Why do you always want to race me, I don't feal like it..." So instead of running at full speed, Opalpaw walked to camp, looking at the trees as she walked. She smelled the scent of mouse....She followed the scent, and spotted it....she got down into hunter's crouch and pounced on it. "Yes! I got it!" she picked up the dead mouse with her teeth and began to walk back to camp. When she got there she dropped her mouse in the fresh kill pile.

[Mapletail]

"Fine i guess we will not race. So nice catch." Maplepaw carried in her fresh kill and droped it on the pile. Maplepaw picked a mouse for her and a vole for Opalpaw. "Here you go. Hope your in the mood for vole! Thanks for showing me everything you did today. I really needed the help. So what you want to do before we go on patrol?" I hope she wants to sleep!

[Opalfur]

"Well, I'm worn out from earlier, so I am going to go take a nap!" Looking up at Maplepaw tiredly. "You can go do whatever, just don't bother me, please." I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just tired.... Opalpaw curled up in a ball and fell asleep very quickly.

[Mapletail]

"Ok then." I guess i will go back out hunting. I'm not tierd yet. So Maplepaw runs out of camp. As soon as she is out of camp she scents a mouse. She drops into a hunting crouch and pounces on it. Perfect! She scraped earth over it so she could get it later. She keeps going and then she kills a thrash and then a vole. Maplepaw goes back to camp happy with her prey.
