Looking for friends! (open)

[Deleted]

Mistyfur padded to the shore. She looked eagerly to the ocean, deciding if she should swim or not.

The silver she-cat decided to jump in, feeling the water cooling down her pelt. She hadn't realised how bad the sun was warming her fur, and jumping in was a good decision.

She swam happily, diving in and splashing water everywhere. 

[Lionhearted]

The large white tom spotted a silver she-cat swimming in the water. A buddy to hang out with! "Hi there!" Cloudbreeze called out cheerfully, scanning the shoreline. It was Mistyfur. "Mistyfur!" splashing into the water, he pranced towards her, jumping above the water to move forward. Droplets splashed everywhere, and he was already dragged down by his bulk and thick fur. "Hi, how are you?"

[Deleted]

Mistyfur smiled widely, ''Oh hey Cloudbreeze! Good to see you here!'' she said, cheerfully, ''I'm great! What about you?''.

Without waiting for his answer, she dived in and swam a little farther, only to rise up and dive again, returning to the place where she was before, ''I hate getting salt on my fur y'know, but this greenleaf seems the warmest I've ever seen, and I can't help myself!'' she meowed.

[Deleted]

"...but this greenleaf seems the warmest I've ever seen, and I can't help myself!"

"I know, right!" Dawnsplash said as he emerged from the sea and swam up to the two other warriors. Some of his ginger and white fur was swept away by the water because of his fur shedding. The young warrior had just come from the camp after chowing down on some fish, and he grinned. "Mind if I join the party?" he asked as he splashed some ocean water towards Cloudbreeze playfully.

[Deleted]

Mistyfur grinned and nodded, '' Sure! Now that you two are here, who wants to race me? Winner gets to pick their fresh-kill first!'' she meowed, playfully.

The silver warrior swam to the shore. She placed her feet on the sandy floor underwater and flicked her tail, '' You guys are coming?'' she said in an excited tone.

[Deleted]

Dawnsplash swam swifly to shore and stood next to Mistyfur, and shook his fur out. The sun beat down on his wet fur and back. Then he turned to Mistyfur. "Where are we going?" Dawnsplash asked. The ocean waves tickled his paws a little, and he giggled. The ginger and white tabby licked his chest fur to muffle his giggle.

[Deleted]

Mistyfur shrugged, ''I don't know... Maybe we can raced around the shore, if you want to!'' she meowed, flicking her tail playfully.

She looked over to Cloudbreeze, ''Wanna come too? It's gonna be fun!'', she splashed water at the warrior. The she-cat shook her pelt, sending droplets flying everywhere. Mistyfur licked her chest fur, frowning at the taste of the salty water.

[Deleted]

Droplets from Mistyfur's fur splashed onto Dawnsplash. "Mistyfur!" exclaimed the ginger and white tabby in an annoyed but playful voice. He noticed that she had frowned when she licked her chest fur. She doesn't like salt? Salt tastes good! Dawnsplash started to groom his fur, enjoying the taste of the salty sea water. Then he stopped. "Maybe we could groom each others fur before racing?" Dawnsplash suggested awkwardly to the other cats.

[Deleted]

Mistyfur looked up, staring at the warrior. She smiled and nodded, ''Sure! Now come over here ya furball!'' she laughed, splashing a little more water at the tom..

She gave her chest fur a few more licks and turned her attention to Dawnsplash's ginger pelt. She rasped her tongue on his shoulder fur, grooming it. The salty taste still bothered her a bit, but she would get used to it eventually

[Deleted]

Dawnsplash heard Mistyfur laugh, and was happy she accepted his suggestion. He felt his clanmate's warm tongue on his shoulder, and he craned his neck around so he could groom Mistyfur's shoulder in turn. The breeze coming from the ocean ruffled his fur, and the sun started to dry up his wet fur, the salt clumping his pelt into spikes.

After grooming awhile, Dawnsplash asked "Do you think you're going to get an apprentice soon?"

[Deleted]

Mistyfur looked up, tilting her head. She thought about the question, '' Umm.... I don't know, actually...'' she meowed, frowning, ''Maybe, but I don't know... I'd be glad if I did though! What about you?'' She purred, grooming Dawnsplash's other shoulder. ''How awesome would it be to have an apprentice, don't you think?'' she meowed.

[Deleted]

Dawnsplash thought about how awesome it would be to have an apprentice as he groomed Mistyfur's pelt. It would be pretty great, but then again, he felt a bit too inexperienced, especially in fighting; he was totally unskilled at that. Though, the ginger and white warrior was too proud to admit that. "It would be pretty awesome! but If I did get an apprentice, it would probably be a lot work, especially if you got an apprentice that's a big pain in the neck!" Dawnsplash laughed a little.

Overtime, Dawnsplash could see less and less salt on Mistyfur's pelt, until all of it was gone. The sun was starting to lower, but it still was kind of high in the sky. The warrior sat up, and looked over at Mistyfur. "Do you think we're done grooming?" He inquired.

[Deleted]

Mistyfur glanced at Dawnsplash's fur, quickly turning her gaze to her own pelt. It was nicely groomed, and she let out a low purr of satisfaction.

''Yup! We're done! Now, do you wanna race or should we do something else? '' she asked, flicking her tail friendly. She heard a soft splash behind her, but ignored it.

[Deleted]

Dawnsplash got up and shook his fur out now that they were done grooming. He wondered what they could do when the ginger and white warrior heard Mistyfur's question. The young tom sat down on the sand, some fur from his tail falling out because of his shedding. "Hmmm, " Dawnsplash said. "We could race..... we could play in the water... we could hunt.... why don't we race back to camp? I'll beat ya there!" The white and ginger cat swished his tail in anticipation. "On my mark! Ready.... set......... go!" Dawnsplash exclaimed. He zoomed outward, and ahead of Mistyfur as he headed towards camp. As the warrior ran, he turned his head to stick his tongue playfully out at the silver she-cat.

[Deleted]

Mistyfur smirked. She ran as fast as she could, but still fell right behind him. ''You started first! It's not fair!'' the silver warrior laughed.

She gathered her forces and ran faster, approaching the tom in a few tail lenghts. ''I'm gonna get you!'' Mistyfur yowled.

Her pawsteps felt lighter and she managed to speed up even more, reaching Dawnsplash's side. She stuck her tongue out, mimmicking him, ''Not so fast now huh?'' she meowed, laughing.
