Let's get started (Kittenkisses)

Pebbletail walked towards the apprentice's den and looked inside, searching for the calico fur of her apprentice. It was a sunny day and Newleaf was warming any cold spot left. It was a good day for training.

"Poppypaw"-She mewed quietly, to not wake the other apprentices.-"It's time to go training..."

Poppypaw looked up and groaned at the sound of Pebbletail's voice. I don't want to wake up... she thought as she snuggled deeper into her soft, mossy nest. Then she remembered what training meant.
She leapt out of her nest with a joyful cry and sped out of the den, crashing into her surprised mentor. 
"Sorry!" she squeaked and leapt back, feeling hot under her fur in embarrassment.

Pebbletail didn't saw her apprentice coming and almost fell on the floor. "You have to learn how to control that energy of yours..."-She said with a shook of her head. She started to walk, making sure that Poppypaw was following her.

"Today we are going to the mouse ridge"-She mewed, secretly smiling. Her apprentice and her daughter were quite similar.

Having quickly forgotten her initial embarrassment, Poppypaw clumsily bounded after her mentor, almost tripping over her paws in excitement.
"Where's mouse ridge?" she asked as slowed to a bouncy trot by Pebbletail's shoulder. She watched the older she-cat's paws as she tried to fall in step with her.
I want to be just like Pebbletail when I grow up! she thought, happily.

"A field full of small prey. We will practice your hunting, and maybe you could have some battle training later"-Pebbletail explained, walking towards the place she was speaking about.

She stopped when they reached the field. How it was Newleaf, there was even some flowers among the grass, and the hill that could be seen there was more green than ever, surrounded by some clouds at the tip. The she-cat smiled and turned to see her apprentice. "Here it is"

Poppypaw's pale green eyes rounded at the beautiful sight before her.
"Wow," she breathed. "It's so pretty!"
She leapt forwards, giddy with excitement, and bounded through the grass and flowers, sending insects and petals flying into the air. She purred loudly and rolled onto her side, covering herself in crushed petals and the scent of wildflowers.

Pebbletail smiled at Poppypaw's excitement, but they had things to do. She padded towards her and put her paw over her apprentice's calico pelt, stopping her rolling.

"Stop. You will scare away the prey"-She mewed, but she was still smiling at her. Then looked around and tried to be more quiet, trying to guess how many little rodents could be hiding on the field. "Sniff around and tell me if you smell anything. You have to track your prey before you chase it."

Poppypaw rolled back over and rose to her feet as quietly as she could. She then parted her jaws and swung her head from the right to the left slowly, tasting the air carefully. Her ears were pricked forwards and her tortoiseshell body was alert. Then a familiar scent flooded through her jaws like the sun in the morning, warm and pleasant.
"Mouse!" she hissed, excitedly.

[Eveningbreeze]

Pebbletail nodded. "Now that you had caught the scent, you have to catch the creature"

She sniffed to get the scent too. It seemed close. Her glance came back to her apprentice. "Follow the scent silently until you find it. You can't see the mouse right now, but you know is there. Take advantage of that."
