Applepaw sat in the clearing, looking around for the rest of his siblings. Since they had begun their apprentice training, they rarely had time to spend with each other, and the ginger tom missed them. He had decided he'd go out of his way to make sure they all spent more time together, and so today, he was looking for them. He figured it would do them all good to go out of camp and hunt together, or anything, really.. Ever since their mother died, it seemed they all began to drift away from each other. Of course Smokepounce treated them as if she was their mother, and Fallenstorm kept a close eye on them, but he could still feel a hole in his heart. The fact that he never knew his mother seemed to never leave him, as much as he tried to forget about it and move towards the future. 

The tom shook his head to clear it, before going over to the apprentice's den. He stuck his head instead and called out for them. "Mottlepaw! Swallowpaw! Dewpaw! Russetpaw! Are you guys in there?" The ginger tom began to worry they had already left with their mentors for the day, and his heart sank. He had really been looking forward to this. Maybe I should have told them ahead of time..

[Surprise thread! I need more threads with Applepaw, so I thought I would try a siblings thread. Don't feel obligated to reply if you're busy, though! I'll understand.]

Dewpaw blinked open her green eyes. There was some grogginess in them. With a small yawn the she-cat stood up. but she stretched out her back first by bring her tail up it was plumbed and out of control. Along with the rest of her long silver tabby fur. She just stretched out her back rising up on her toes. She then relaxed and sat down. She laid her tail right next to her and looked at it with a sigh. She was always a restless sleeper. She just moved around a lot in her sleep. Well maybe she didn't the she-cat really did not know because well she was sleeping when this happened. but she believed that she was because her fur was alway a mess when she woke up. She just leaned down and starting grooming her fur. She of course had to find her mentor soon and start training but she wouldn't leave the apprentice den without looking her best. After a few moments of grooming she was working on her tail thats when she heard a head poking in the den.

Hopping to her paws frightened. Her tail was puffed out making it bigger than it already was. Her green eyes were wide as she looked at the cat that she just then relaxed seeing who it was. She was a bit irritated that he scared her like that. So she said back with a bit of sass, "Applepaw! You scared me to death don't do that again!" Then she just flicked her tail and padded up to him a smile on her face she asked. "I'm here, whats wrong."

Applepaw had to bite back a laugh at seeing her sister's fluffed up fur and frightened reaction. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." His words were sincere but his eyes gleamed with teasing. He stood back and let Dewpaw pad out of the apprentice's den. "Oh, nothing's wrong. I was just hoping to spend some time with you guys, we barely ever get to now that we're apprentices." It was sad but true. Their chores and training always kept them busy, but he was determined for today to be different. "Do you know where Mottlepaw, Swallowpaw, and Russetpaw are?" He doubted his sister knew, and he didn't either, but he figured he'd might as well ask.

"You might try looking behind you," Mottlepaw said, smiling at her brother and somewhat failing to hold in her laughter. She had just come back from a training session with Silverspot and the young tortoiseshell tabby apprentice was looking forward to a chance to lie down for a little while and maybe think about the changes in her mentor since their trip to Skyfield. but then she'd seen Applepaw talking with Dewpaw.

She'd padded up behind her brother, white paws mostly silent, just in time to hear him ask their sister where the rest of their siblings were. "Hi Dewpaw, Applepaw! I can't speak for Dewpaw, but I haven't seen the other two yet today," she continued, dark green eyes shining merrily. "Silverspot's been keeping me busy. How've you two been though? We hardly ever get together the lot of us and talk." Mottlepaw knew in her case that she often came into Stormclan camp after a day of training only interested in getting reacquainted with her nest in the Apprentices' Den and the inside of her eyelids. It wouldn't surprise her that the others were the same.

Dewpaw just looked at Applepaw with a bit of discust on her face. Clearly she didn't know she was just sleeping. but she just said in a light tone, "Oh! this will be so much fun! I missed you guys." Then she just smiled. The silver she-cat blinked her green eyes and just flicked her ears nervously. She didn't know where any of her other litter mate were so maybe they would just appear sooner or later. She just then said, "I'm not sure where they are. Maybe we will catch the outs-" The apprentice was cut off by the sound of her sister from behind her brother. Dewpaw just curled her tail with happiness.

She was about to move forward and greet Mottlepaw but the she-cat padded right next to her brother. She just then smiled at the two. It was good to see them healthy and well. Considering the green cough out break that was still going on. She just then blinked her eyes. and continued her statement from before. "Lets get out of this den we will be most likely to catch our litter mates if we can spot them in the clearing." Then she just moved around her siblings and headed out into the clearing for the first time today.

Dewpaw narrowed her green eyes and shook out her long tabby silver pelt. She took a deep breath in and closed her eyes before letting it out. Today was going to be a great day. She had a feeling. Thats when she looked around camp for any sign of her other siblings.
