Extreme boredom may be hazardous to your health

Lets go sunnin,its so good for you,Lets go sunnin,where the sky is blue...

Since there was an extreme shortage of mentors,friends,or activities such as hunting or swimming(as he was not allowed to leave without permission of a warrior) Young Journeypaw had nothing to do.He thought getting out of that wretched nursery was a good thing,but now he wished he could go back to it.So...it was back to playing his game.Nothing with no one around.He went to the rock in the middle of camp on laid on it until his back burned,his eyes were burned by staring at the sun out of sheer boredom,or until he had to get off or else he would get arthritis at age six.His eyes shifted from the sun,to the figure approaching him.The leftover haze made it unclear who it was,but he was sure whoever it was was an apprentice.

Speckledpaw slipped into the camp, her jaws full of her large prey and padded over to a spot and hid her fish. She didn't want anyone eating it quite yet. She still had to show it off. She found a few Reeds to fide it in and covered it hoping no one would find it. She slowly looked around and saw a fellow apprentice sitting on a rock near by. She tilted her head slightly before starting that way.
"Journeypaw, you know your going to be blind if you keep staring at the sun right?" she asked like she was talking to a dumb kit. She hated to always be mean but that was her, like having a tail was part of a cat. She couldn't live without it, so why not use it?[/center]

"Hey Speckledpaw.If you were as bored as I was you would stare at the sun too".He saw her catch of prey as she walked in."Quite an impressive catch this morning,eh?" Maybe they could hunt later on,journeypaw thought.She had a mentor.

Speckledpaw snorted slightly at Journeypaw's comment. "no one could ever be as bored as you, Journeypaw. You have that talent. That's for sure." she mewed and sat down giving herself a wash. She saw him eye her fish and her eye darted that way.
When he made the comment about having a nice hunting day she snorted. "Do you realize which fish that is?" she asked, adding a little cockiness to her voice. "That is ole' Silver Scales. The biggest fish that had ever swam in the river. Warriors have knocked them selves silly trying to get it, and i easily caught it and killed it myself.
She sat up a little straighter at the last words and puffed out her chest a little. She dared anyone to say she was lying.[/center]

"Ole' Silver Scales! You lie. No one can catch that cursed fish.Not even the leader can." He gave a chuckle.A little trick he learned from a warrior.How to catch a lie in action.

"I'm not lying!" she said, her eyes narrowing. "I would show you, but knowing you you still wouldn't believe me."
she flicked her tail slightly and turned as her mentor walked in and then a patrol leading a loner in. Well at least it looked like a loner.
Her eyes narrow slightly as she caught the scent coming off she she-cat. It smelled familiar but she couldn't put her finger on it. She shrugged and turned back toward Journeypaw.
"So do you believe me or not? she mewed wrapping her tail around her paws.[/center]

"Its a big fish,but not.....who is she" He motioned to the warrior leading a cat that definitely did not belong.He got off the rock to get a closer look.

Speckledpaw turned his head back to the group but followed Journeypaw as he joined the small group gathering. Who ever it was did not look comfortable at all being here. she was skittish and always kept looking at different cats a look of fear and then anger crossing her eyes. Especially whens he looked at Crimsonclaw.[/center]

Turning back to Specklepaw,Journeypaw muttered to her."Now, lets have a look at that fish." He padded over to the bush and took a peek inside of it.His eyes widened."Well now.Thats a huge fish.Enough here to feed the clan straight through leaf-bare." He compared the size of the cat to the size of the fish."You do realize you should have been swept in.How did you do it?" He was confused and hoped that she provide answer.

Speckledpaw smiled smugly at the tom. Now she could tell her story and someone could spread it around the camp.
"Well you see, i was hunting with my mentor, Lionstrike, and Ravenpaw" she mewed the name with disgust, "We were doing battle training first, and he didn't know squat! He's older than i am and i almost beat him! But Lionstrike felt sorry for him and made me stop. So then we went hunting down by the river. Again, that poor excuse fora tom didn't know anything and Lionstrike had to show him how to fish. Well i went up the river a ways and settled down on the edge."
She posed herself up on a near by rock like she had done at the river. She looks up at the tom and continued,
"I was laying there patiently and suddenly i saw this silver flash. I darted my paw out." she slashed the air below her "and snagged the fish. Well i didn't realize how big it was at first and it pulled me into the water. I struggled with it and had to fight to hold on. There was no way i was going to let this prey get away. anyways i finally got a good grip on it and bit down hard on it's head. Then i dragged it up to shore and Lionstrike praised me on catching Ole' Silver Scales."
She sat up on her little ledge and puffed out her chest proudly. That was the story, well in her mind anyways. Journeypaw would just have to accept it.
She was about to look at the tom again but a white flash darting across the camp made her look up. She caught Snowpaw's figure running out of the camp and the new deputy's reminder made her eyes widen.
"Mouse dung! I got to go, Journeypaw. I just remembered i have patrol." she mewed quickly before jumping of her platform and across the clearing. As she passed the she-cat she caught something on her sent that smelled familiar, but she couldn't put her nose on it. She wasn't worried about it anyways, she just had to get to the patrol.

{{alright, Aggy. Sorry this took so long and that we didn't get to reply much. But i got thrown into this other board with Speckledpaw. Maybe these two can role-play again sometime and later become good friends. Speckledpaw needs some...lol.}}[/center]
