(I know hahahah. xD I think Amberfang will accept it, and then crash and burn. She might ask Stormstar to pick someone else after she gets a taste of it, or she might stay. Idk yet xD)

(I think you missed my last post, sorry here it is xD) "Yeah, the wheat field sounds great!" Amberfang answered. She waved her fluffy tail high in the air, casting a shadow over her back and head. "Race you there?" |

"Tallstripe shook his head. "No, I'd rather walk. It is a beautiful day, and-" the sentence was cut off as he suddenly burst into a full sprint. "Haha! Fooled you!" he called over his shoulder.

"Hahaha! You think so!" Amberfang bolted after the shorter cat. The strands of grass and other weeds whipped against her as she raced after Tallstripe, but she was slowly getting closer.

Tallstripe veered off suddenly, yelling as he slipped. "Ow!" he groaned. He had slid right into a thorn patch.

"Whoa!" Amberfang screeched as she skidded and tripped right over Tallstripe as well, landing further into the thorn patch right behind him. "Ow, ow, oww... Not thorns!"

"I hate thorns," Tallstripe mumbled through a wince as he tried to untangle himself from them. "Are you alright?" he called to Amberfang. She had gone farther into the thorn patch then he did.

Amberfang wiggled in the thorns. Her thick fur was caught in what seemed to be every thorn in the thorn patch. "I could use as little help," she admitted. Whenever she tried to move, she could feel the thistles pulling out tufts of her huge coat.

Tallstripe had landed on his back, so he was stuck, helpless like a turtle on it's shell. "So could I," He responded with a cringe-worthy purr.

Amberfang wiggled again, managing to pull one of her flanks free.. but she knew her tail was hopeless at the moment. "Okay, hold on." She sighed. Clenching her eyes shut and bracing for pain, she pushed herself up and away from the thorny tangle. The rrrrriiiiip of her fur was heard audibly as she freed herself and leaped clear of the thorn patch. "Wow, you really are stuck," Amberfang snickered at seeing Tallstripe flat on his back. "Hold on there." The warrior leaned forward and pulled one tendril away from Tallstripe with her teeth.

"Don't you laugh at me! How was I supposed to know a thorn bush would be in my way?" He winced as she pulled a tendril away. "Ow."

"Thstay thstill," Amberfang mumbled around the tendril. "Pttt!" She spat it away and bent down to pull out another one. "It coulth be worsth, I thsupposthe."

Tallstripe cringed again, but he knew Amberfang was just trying to help. "I guess you're right. I just feel so vulnerable right now."

"Sorry." Amberfang said apologetically stepped back after moving away the second tendril. "Can you move?"

Tallstripe wriggled his shoulders and was able to wiggle out of the patch, leaving behind small tufts of fur where his back had been.

"Good job." Amberfang glanced down at the holes both of them had made in the thorns, and their fur scattered through the patch. She sighed, and craned her neck to look at her pelt. It definitely looked more ragged than it had when she left camp this morning. "At least the wheat field isn't very far away now?" She offered weakly.

Tallstripe gave a rusty purr at her attempt. "Let's go, but a bit slower this time." He glanced over his shoulder at his back; the fur was jagged and sticking straight up. He gave it a couple licks before returning his gaze to Amberfang.

She laughed. "Yeah, definitely a lot slower. You coming?" Amberfang began to trot ahead of the tom. Ahead, she could see the wheat field in the distance. Her heart beat faster at the thought of jumping and running through it.

"Of course." Tallstripe caught up to Amberfang and saw the wheat fields in the close distance. He couldn't wait to hunt, and and with the nice day, there would be a lot to hunt!

Amberfang picked up her pace to a brisk trot. Overhead the clouds weren't stormy, but they did block out the sun for the most part. Leftover snow patches from the winter crunched underneath her feathery paws. "Tallstripe, can I talk to you about something?" She asked cautiously.

Tallstripe nodded. "Go ahead, what is it?" He could tell she was cautious about something, but was unsure what. He glanced up at the sky, seeing the clouds covering the sun.

"Stormstar asked me to be deputy." She blurted out. She was embarrassed for voicing her feelings, but she felt she needed a second opinion that wasn't Stormstar. "I trust Stormstar to make the right decision concerning the clan, but... I don't know if I'm the right decision. What do you think?"

Tallstripe stopped dead. "That's great!" When Amberfang kept speaking, he kept quiet until she finished. "I believe that not every deputy thinks they are the right decision. It takes time and a lot of trust to get used to a new deputy, and you are obviously popular with the Clan. If you decide to accept the role, I know many cats who will support you, including me."

Amberfang stopped too and kneaded the snow and grass underneath her paws nervously. "Thank you, Tallstripe. I needed that." Her copper eyes flicked to the ground and then back to the wheat field. It was a few foxlengths away now. "We're almost there. Let's get this hunt started, huh?"

"Sure!" Tallstripe was close enough to the wheat field that he could see a small mouse. He leaped on it, killing it instantly before it had a chance to run. "already starting off good!" Tallstripe called to Amberfang, holding up the mouse.

Amberfang chuckled. "Beginner's luck." She took a hunting crouch and disappeared into the deep wheat strands. She parted her jaws to try and scent the air, but all she could smell was the overwhelming scent of... well, wheat.

"I'm not a beginner!" He leaped after her, going deeper into the wheat, to prove to her that he wasn't a beginner and that the catch wasn't luck. He spied another mouse nibbling on a wheat seed, it's back turned. He started to creep up on it.
(What if they were tracking the same mouse? I kinda want to see how that would turn out XD ))
