Stardust paced along the bottom of the tree, her gold eyes watching the ground intensly. Her tail was high in the air, curled at the tip, and her tongue made frequent travels out of her mouth to moisten her 'lips'. She stopped and looked at the tree, then looked around. She was alone. She reached up to the tree, her claws out, and began digging her claws into it, shredding layers of bark.

Amberstripe walked to the oak, letting his paws wander. He was on the opposite side of the tree as Stardust, and since he was upwind he couldn't smell her, but he did hear somethng coming from the other side of the tree. "Strange..." he thought. "I thought I was alone." He sat down all the same, and washed one paw.

Firepaw had been out walking, she was a little depressed. She kept her head low and her orange tail drooped. She sighed, will I ever get a mentor? she wondered sadly, wishing she could start her training to become a warrior. She didn't realize she had bumped into one of the warrios until it was too late. She tumbled to the ground with a startled mew, "Oh! I'm sorry Stardust!" she exclaimed, jumping to her paws and apologizing, her golden eyes wide.

Stardust finished trimming her claws, and pulled them away from the tree. She licked the bottom of them to make them smooth again. Suddenly her nose picked up the scent of another cat, very nearby. A curious gleam caught her eye, and she slowly rounded the large tree. It was about four cats across, so it took her little legs quite a while. Right as she caught glimpse of Amberstripe, she was suddenly hit in the side. Being small and light, the impact was enough to make her loose balance and topple over herself.
A quick 'meow' jumped from her mouth as she sprang up onto her feet again, preparing herself to run. Her fur was standing on end, and a high pitch hiss slithered from her mouth. The second she saw it was only Firepaw, her fur smoothed down and she meowed pitifully.
"Firepaw! You...you gave me a fright." She said, her very high, milky voice breaking through the negative atmosphere. She felt terrible for over reacting, and also embarassed. She tried not to talk when she was around other cats because she had a unique voice which was very high pitched and sounded like a kitten's. She quickly glanced over at Amberstripe, then back to Firepaw. "I'm sorry." She said a little quieter.

Amberstripe stopped his washing and noticed Firepaw and Stardust. "Oh, hello," he said. "I thought I was alone." He stood up and walked over to them. "How is everything going?"

Firepaw purred and butted her head against Stardust's shoulder gently, "It's okay, it wasn't your fault, it was mine." she grinned sheepishly. She looked at Amberstrip and smiled, "Hello, I'm doing great! Well, besides the falling part." she grinned again and sat down.

Stardust licked Firepaw affectionatley on the ear, then looked up as Amberstripe approached them. Her eyes moved quickly and she was alert.
"Amberstripe." Stardust aknowledged him gently with a quick nod of her head. She yawned softly and stretched out her arms. "Thins are going well I suppose." She shrugged, glancing over at Firepaw with concern in her eyes. I hope I didn't scare her.

Firepaw smiled up at Stardust, "So what were you doin'?" she asked curiously, tilting her head to the side. ((Ack, short  )) |

Stardust hesitated. What had I been doing? She asked herself. She had just gone for a stroll in the woods...alone...for no reason in particular, but she had smelled and hoped. With a flick of her tail she smiled and dismissed the question.
"Just...walking." She said in a low voice, still conscious about her voice. Firepaw probably thinks I'm a joke. She thought, her eyes darting to the tree, then to Amberstripe, then to her paws, then back on Firepaw. Her mind raced, trying to think of something to say.
"Say, Firepaw. Weren't you looking for a mentor?" She asked.

Firepaw nodded, her face dropping sadly, "Yeah, but it seems like I'll never get a mentor. Brightstar hasn't preformed the ceremony yet..." she said, looking down at her paws. "Maybe he thinks I'm not good enough or somethin'..." she added in a quiet voice.

"Don't worry, things will work out sometime." She assured the cat, though she wasn't so sure about things herself. She knew she wanted to be Firepaw's mentor, but she wasn't about to say something in case Brightstar did not approve.

Amberstripe cocked his head to one side when he realised how softly Stardust was speaking. He knew it was none of his business, but he asked why anyway. "Why are you speaking so softly?" he asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

Stardust looked up at Amberstripe feebly, and blinked a couple of times before answering slowly.
"N--No reason." She fumbled with her words as though they were too large to grasp. She hated her voice. Wat am I supposed to say? I sound like a kitten-no, worse. A mouse. Her eyes looked to the ground shamefully.

Amberstripe looked sympathetic. There must be something wrong, he thought. I wonder what... "Sorry, it was none of my business," he said. He thought her voice was much prettier than some cats'.
(I had to say that... =D)
