Friends and Family [Private Mass Thread]

[Deleted]

(Ok, so whatever order we first respond will be the posting order. I would ask that Lostpaw posts before the other Fireclan cats because logically this would be an arranged meeting with those two so she would know the spot. Lostpaw, @thegreatlion, Wrenpaw, Fennelpaw, Fallpaw.)

Olivepaw moved through the Treeclan territory, moving as fast as she could without worrying about Wrenpaw and Fallpaw not keeping up. She hadn't exactly told them where she was taking them when she had gathered them together in the time before dawn and led them out to the territory, so she figured they may just give up if she didn't go slow enough for them to easily keep up. She headed to meet her sister who she had set up a meeting with. The reason that it was before dawn was so that it wouldn't get in the way of training, as knowing 6 cat's training schedules at one time when they themselves probably didn't know it for certain was just to hard to bother with. She herself did have training the next day, but she wasn't exactly worried about being tired for practice.
 
Arriving at the border, she turned to face her friends who were no doubt wondering what in the world was going on. "I found my sister," she said, an excited note in her voice though it was covered by a few layers of her all to  natural coolness, "And you guys are gonna get to meet her."

[Fallpaw]

Fallpaw was panting hard by the time he ariived to where Olivepaw had lead them. She had come and grabbed them, not explaining anything, before leading them into the territory. Fallpaw had done his best to keep up, and was now standing a few taillengths behind her as she turned to face them. He wondered if Wrenpaw was close to him or still coming...

"oh, you found her? And now we get to meet her?! Thats great!" Fallpaw smiled, tail swishing happily. Was Olivepaws sister nice? Did she bring her friends? how had Olivepaw found her?

[Fennelpaw]

[ I'm just posting now to hopefully get this thread on a roll, but I can delete this if you'd like. ]

If there was one thing that hadn't changed about Fennelpaw, it was the fact that he still loved making friends. When Lostpaw had told him that they were going to meet up with someone special, he was estatic. So much, in fact, that he ran ahead of Lostpaw and Lionpaw. How he'd made it to that particular spot was a wonder, perhaps he was lucky. Either way, he'd found them. He burst into view, nearly knocking into Olivepaw, but he'd luckily come to a halt mere inches away from her. Fennelpaw stared uncertainly at the cats, smelling their very strange scents.

"Uh," he said awkwardly, eyes wide, before turning back towards where his other friends would emerge from, backing away. "Guys?"

[Wrenpaw]

Wrenpaw was at the back of the pack... group? They weren't wolves or dogs. Anyways, he was definitely not as athletic as the other two apprentices were and found himself breathing heavily by the time they had reached the border. But once they reached the scent markers he didn't sit down, it was supposed to be bad to immediately sit after aggressive activity so instead he began pacing behind the other two apprentices; only pausing to listen to Olivepaw speak and finally tell them what they were even doing here.

According to the ginger apprentice they were here to meet her long lost sister and her sister's Fireclan friends. Hmm, he wasn't expecting that, was even surprised he could hear what the other apprentice had mewed over the blood rushing through his ears. He started pacing again and mewed breathlessly, "Well that's cool I guess, I just don't understand why we had a run a marathon."

His ears then perked as the sound of another completely new voice, paired with another completely new scent to him. Fireclan. Peering around the other two apprentices he merely stopped and lifted a paw in a sort of wave, adding a small awkward smile that almost said 'glad i'm not the only one who doesn't understand what's going on'.

[Lostpaw]

Lostpaw watched as Fennelpaw ran in front of her and Lionpaw. The white fluffy she-cat didn't tell Fennelpaw who they were meeting with just that it was someone special to her. Lionpaw already heard about Olivepaw from their conversation that other day. Her group was getting close to the spot when Fennelpaw's confused and slightly worried expression.

She grinned widely as she passed the golden tom and straight up to her sister with a purr. "Guys this is my sister Olivepaw and I'm assuming her friends." she smiled. She noticed one of the other cat wave with his paw and she did the same.

"Olivepaw and... umm yeah. Well this is Lionpaw and Fennelpaw." Her voice was its usual soft quiet self. She didn't remember her sister's friends names but she pointed with her tail towards the long furred golden tom and then the short furred golden tom.

[Deleted]

The only time Lionpaw had been this subdued was during his little tour around the territory with his mentor and, even then, he had at least asked questions. For once, he actually felt like the least confident cat in their make-shift group, and he kept close to Lostpaw's side as they made their way across the territory. It was only during their walk that he had seriously considered what he was doing; this was the exact same clan he'd bragged about fighting with his siblings. How was this going to work out?

Then, Fennelpaw stopped in front of them. A new scent alongside completely unfamiliar faces finally brought Lionpaw back to reality, as Lostpaw spoke. Although he seemed to be the one of the only cats aware of what was going on, he somehow felt just as lost. Ah well. He needed to at least try look the part, right? Straightening from his previous slouch, he grinned. It wasn't as large or genuine as Lostpaw's, but it was there.

"Greetings! Like she said, I'm Lionpaw, and he's Fennelpaw." He meowed loudly, looking briefly to the tom before continuing. "I am pleased to finally meet you, Olivepaw! And your friends, as well."

[Deleted]

Olivepaw blinked. "It wasn't a marathon and I'd hardly called that running." she said. She was trying to be nicer, but she was still used to not being nice.

Turning back to the other cats who had all arrived at that point, she smiled and greeted the new cats. "Hello, I'm Olivepaw and these are my friends Wrenpaw and Fallpaw," she introduced, motioning to each car in turn.

[Fallpaw]

Fallpaw blinked, a very small smile on his lips. He carefully watched as the golden cats followed the fluffy white she-cat towards them. Lionpaw, Fennelpaw and Olivepaws sister, Lostpaw. Nice.

He was stunned into a sort of stupor silence for a moment as the Lionpaw meowed a very boisterous greeting with a grin. What a personality.

"I'm Fallpaw." He meowed as he took a few steps forward to observe them better and stand with Olivepaw, dipping his head and swishing his thick furred tail.
"It's nice to meet you, Lostpaw. And you too Fennelpaw and Lionpaw."
His ear twitched in a greeting or sorts, his brown eyes warm. He turned his gaze to Olivepaw, and then flicked it back to Lostpaw. He thought they kinda looked alike, even though their pelts were different colours. This made him smile - part wistfully. He wished he had a strong sibling bond, but he didn't.

[Wrenpaw]

Wrenpaw had finally stopped pacing and now nodded off to Olivepaw when his name was mentioned as a sort of 'thanks for the introduction'. Padding forward he took a place on the opposite flank of Olivepaw as Fallpaw was and sat down, he figured they would be here for awhile now that he fully knew what was going on. Back when Olive and Wren had been kits she had mentioned having a sister but he never imagined she would find her so quickly, thus being the reason she had now chosen to stay with Treeclan he assumed.

"Nice to meet you all..." He added, sharing a glance with each of the Fireclan apprentices.

(( whoop, so lazy and uh oh i killed the post order ))

[Lostpaw]

Lostpaw gave a smile and a small nod as Olivepaw introduced her friends. "It's nice to meet y'all as well, Fallpaw and Wrenpaw."
she said as she sat down and curled her tail around her paws. She turned to her clan mates wondering what they were thinking but didn't ask. She would do that on the way home.

[Fennelpaw]

Fennelpaw's expression was surprisingly unreadable. He merely glanced uncertainly at Lostpaw, and back to the Treeclan apprentices. "How'd Olivepaw end up in Treeclan if you're in Fireclan?" He asked Lostpaw, rounded ears pinning back a little, his still-stubby paws shifting awkwardly. Looking the other apprentices up and down, but not really finding any of them threatening, he let what guard he had down. Returning to his regular train of thought, he smiled as his pelt flattened down. "I like everyone's names! Especially yours, Wrenpaw." He sat across from the tom, hoping he didn't seem too straightforward, which he probably did. "What's it like living in Treeclan?" he asked eagerly, and though he was facing Wrenpaw, the question could've been meant for anyone. "Is it nice? Are there trees? Oh, I hope so. I like trees. Imagining all those trees above me, protecting me.. It seems so cozy." It was astonishing how quickly his mood had shifted, how easy it was to get into a good mood for him. Compared to the other Fireclanners, he seemed short and chubby, shorter than Lostpaw.

These cats didn't seem too bad. Even Olivepaw's two friends seemed, well, normal. Nothing like the blood-thirsty Treeclan warriors he'd imagined. Lionpaw managed to sit himself up taller, still grinning, while everyone finished their greetings. He opened his mouth but shut it once Fennelpaw started speaking, instead settling for looking great, eyes sparkling. He darted his eyes between Fennelpaw and the other Treeclan cats, and he checked around the area every now and again, as if looking around for a patrol.

Adding onto Fennelpaw's questions once he stopped, Lionpaw asked, "Hey, if you guys do have heaps of trees, do you get taught how to climb them as well? I mean, Fireclan has a lot of running space, meaning that we are fabulous runners, but not so many trees." He could only assume that's where Fireclan got it's name from - 'Fast'clan sounded a tad stupid.

[Deleted]

Olivepaw nodded to Fennelpaw, already liking him. "Yep, There are trees everywhere. There are, of course, medows every now and then, but no where nearly as big as yours in Fireclan. Tell me, how do you sleep in the open at night? It's so... odd. I don't think I could do that." she asked. She knew it was probably just how they lived and what they were used to, but she couldn't imagine sleeping without the comfort of trees around her. Of course, there were probably stilll dens, so maybe it wouldn't be considered "the open," but still, the question remained. She also heard Lionpaws inquiry, but decided the others would better answer it because she wasn't exsactly of Treeclan blood. Plus she had seen herself what great climbing skills Wrenpaw had.

[Fallpaw]

Fallpaw listened - admittedly only half paying attention - as the Fireclan apprentices Lionpaw and Fennelpaw asked questions and Olivepaw began to answer one.

His mind was wandering, flicking to irrelevant and distant places as he gazed curiously at the Fireclanners.

Without really thinking he started to answer Lionpaw, ignoring the other toms ego. "Yeah trees are basically our territory, and we get taught to climb them very young, though we don't really need to be taught as it is part of us and an instinct that you can't really get rid of." He meowed.
