"It is not fine!" Brindlepaw mewed and continued grooming his fur. "This way you'll look really handsome..." Suddenly her pelt grew hot again as she continued grooming. 'I really need to shut up.'

"Aren't I handsome enough already?" Thistlepaw puffed out his chest and laughed. "Thanks. Thunderflash'll probably thank you for cleaning me."

"Well someone had to do it." Brindlepaw mewed, glad it didn't get awkward. "And sure Thistlepaw, you're handsome enough already." She purred and continued to groom his fur.

"Thanks. You're pretty cute yourself." Thistlepaw chuckled and walked off from her grooming. I can't believe I said that. She better have thought I was kidding. He paused and glanced behind. Even though I wasn't. "Want to have a tree-climbing race?"

Brindlepaw felt herself blush. 'Did he just call me cute...?' She asked herself. 'Why would I care!' She then nodded. "Yeah. Tree climbing contest. Sounds like fun." Brindlepaw padded after the tom. 'This should be good.'

He nodded. "Alright. I'll climb this oak, you can climb that cedar." He nodded to both of the trees, which were across from each other. The cedar tree was a lot shorter, but Thistlepaw wanted to challenge himself. "Whoever makes it to the first branch first wins." He padded to his tree and unsheathed his claws. "Whenever you're ready."

'He would give me the smaller tree.' Brindlepaw thought. 'But I'll show him!' She then launched herself at the tree and began clawing her way up the trunk, as fast as she possibly could. 'I've got to beat him! If he wins, he'll be better than me!'

Thistlepaw sprung up the tree trunk, leaping and clawing his way to the branch. He pushed off and up with his hind legs, and caught himself each time with his front claws. He held his breath as he did so, and wondered how far Brindlepaw was. If she wins, it's just because she has the shorter tree! Thistlepaw pushed himself harder, making it to the oak limb in a matter of seconds. He turned and faced the other tree, waving his tail playfully. "Brindle?"

Brindlepaw clawed up until she was on the first branch and then looked over at Thistlepaw. He had turned to her at the same time. "I think I beat you." She mewed and lifted her head. "I mean, that can't be much of a surprise, can it?"

Thistlepaw scoffed. "You did not!" He padded toward the end of the branch and grinned, looking over at her. "Dare me to jump?" He looked down; even though it was the first branch, it was still pretty high up. The height just makes it more fun!

"I so won!" Brindlepaw argued. "And no I don't dare you! That's so far down, you could hurt yourself, and that would be awful!" Her eyes clouded with fear as she imagined him getting hurt.

"C'mon, it looks fun!" Thistlepaw leaned down and peered at the dirty forest floor as if he were to jump. "I'm gonna do it!"

Brindlepaw looked over at him, worried. "But what if you get hurt?" She fretted. "I don't want you to get hurt, Thistlepaw..." She bit her lip, hoping that he wouldn't actually jump like he said he was going to.

"Who cares if I get hurt?" Pushing himself off the branch, the apprentice flew threw the air and into a little bush beneath the oak tree. Leaves floated everywhere, twigs snapping off branches that he'd hit. Now lying in the bush, Thistlepaw laughed a little.

Brindlepaw stared in horror as Thistlepaw jumped off of the tree. She then scrambled down the tree and looked around frantically until she spotted him off in a bush. She raced over to him and then pressed against him, ears flat. "Don't do that again!" She whimpered. "You could have gotten hurt..."
