It was sun high.The sun was high in the sky casting it's orange glow on the forest below.A orange and white shape eased out of the trees and darted for the Sunning rocks.One one lithe movement Foxpelt leaped up onto the lowest and one and paused to gaze around him.On the other side of the River, the ThunderClan territory rested.But there was no sign of the tree loving cats.
With a sigh of satisfaction, the ginger and white tabby sank down so he was laying on the warm rocks.He let his golden-yellow eyes slip closed and he rested his head on his white paws. [/size][/color]

Meltingsnow had had a long day of hunting, so she decided to go and relax at the Sunningrocks. As she padded along the familar ground she picked up the sent of one of her clan mates. Foxpelt. She quckened her pace. Foxpelt had always been one of her favorite warriors. He was laid back and relaxed. As the Sunningrocks came into view she could see the warrior jumping along the rocks in search of prey. "Foxpelt!" She called as she jumped across the small river that seperated it from Riverclan.
She sat on one of the lowest boulders and waited for his reply. She knew he was still there because of the sound of claws scraping on the boulders. She curled her tail around her paws.

Foxpelt was listening to the sound of the rushing water when he heard an enthusiastic meow.He opened one golden eyes and spotted the deputy a little ways away from him.The ginger warrior got to his white paws and he turned to face the deputy.Very lightly he dipped his head to show respect before he replied"Hello,Meltingsnow,"The warrior meowed, his voice cheerful.

Meltingsnow jumped up the last few stones untill she was sitting on the one right next to him. She could smell fresh-kill on his paws and glanced around. She didn't see anything out in the open so she knew he must have buried it. "Watcha been catchen?" She asked. She was wandering why he had come here to hunt when there was no fish here. Riverclan wasn't accustumed to mice and voles. But that didn't meen that they would give this land to Thunderclan.

"Mice" the warrior replied smiling at the the confused look on the deputy's face.He hurried to explain himself"I did go fishing but there wasn't any fish, so I came here."He beckoned to the forest beyond the small river.He sat down on his haunches and asked "So what have you been hunting...fish?"He could smell the salty tang in the air that had come with her presence.

"Yep. There wasn't any fish down stream, but the was some closer to here." Meltingsnow looked at her paws. Why wasn't she interesting? This conversation was like talking about the weather. "So... the weather's been nice, huh" Oh, I did not just say that. Meltingsnow kept her eyes on her paws. She pretended not to notice anything unusual about the question as she waited for an answer.
Then she saw a flash of grey, and she lept forward. The mouse slipped from her grasp. She looked back at Foxpelt, "I guess I'm not accustomed to mice." She said, embarrassed.

Foxpelt grinned at the she-cats attempt to catch forest prey.The only reason knew how to catch forest prey was from his many observations of all the other clans at Gatherings.He was a good observer."You jumped to soon,"he told her and leaped lightly down so he was on the sandy ground beside her.
"And yes the weather has been nice,"he meowed rolling his eyes at the choice of conversation.The ginger and white tom cat thought briefly then meowed"Want to go for a walk?"With his tail he gestured to the path in the forest that was trodden by generations of Riverclan paws. [/size]

Meltingsnow watched him as he jumped down from the rocks. "That's why I like fish." She mumbled to low for him to hear. Her eyes followed him as the ginger and white cat landed next to her. "Do you want to go for a walk?" He asked after a bit a silence. Her? She smiled. "Sure? Were do you want to go?" Meltingsnow asked, curiously. Really, the only place they could go now was deeper into Riverclan or Thunderclan Territory. Meltingsnow stood suddenly and looked around. No one was there. Then why did she get the feeling she was being watch? She shook it off as quickly as she could.

Foxpelt saw her look around and he automatically copied her.But he couldn't see anything.He couldn't even smell a danger.Just the scents of ThunderClan and RiverClan blending together.He frowned slightly but he decided to just pretend he didn't notice.
He shrugged his wide shoulders and meowed"I don't know.Just lets walk and end up where we end up."he suggested. [/size][/center]

Meltingsnow nodded. She started to walk towards Riverclan Territory. They leaped over the small river and began to walk. As they walked they talked. It wasn't about anything in poticular, just things that came up. "Remember when we were apprentices and we climbed that tree, trying to be 'Riverclan spys', and then the limb broke and we fell right into the middle of a Thunderclan potroll?" She asked. The memory coming up as they passed said tree.

Foxpelt pricked his ears up.The memory hit him as clear as if he were there again.He remembered looking up into the startled face of Howlclaw,the deputy at the time.There had also been a fluffy calico and white feisty looking apprentice, who was glaring at them for almost being crushed.The last cat was a dark ginger tom-cat with a scar over his eye.They looked like they had been trying to have a conversation.
Foxpelt laughed"Yeah, remember that apprentice.She wanted to kill me for almost falling on her." [/size][/center]

Meltingsnow purred in amussment. "Ya, I think her name was Fallenpaw." They continued to walk along the river. In the distance Meltingsnow could see the two-leg bridge. That brought on another memory. "'Member when we were kits and we tryed to inflitrate the Gathering. I brought my brother, you, your sister." Meltingsnow could still feel the cold air as the patrol of four kits had made their way to Fortrees. She could see how they leaped up and climbed one of the four trees. Then how each of them landed on a different leader. Meltingsnow~ Riverclan, Foxpelt~Thunderclan, Winterstripe~Windclan, and Brownfur~Shadowclan. "Those leaders were very angry."

Foxpelt laughed and padded up onto the bridge,his paws making no sound as they walked on the smooth wood.He remembered it all.He remembered all the times they had as kits.
With a sigh he stopped and looked down at the rushing current below him."Do you remember when we thought we were invincible and jumped in the river.We almost drowned and Moonstar had to save us." [/size][/center]

Meltingsnow stopped smiling. "Ya.... That was our wake-up call, wasn't it? We finally realized that we weren't going to get anywhere in life goofing around. Sometimes I miss being care-free. Ya, know? Just being able to sit around camp and do nothing." Meltingsnow sighed. "But now I'm deputy and your a warrior." The mention of Meltingsnow being deputy brought on a fourth memory, one she would rather keep in the past. "Do you think Riverclan would be beter with Hawkstar?" Hawkstar had died in the battle two moons ago. Giving his life to save his clan. To save Meltingsnow from a Shadowclan warrior.

Foxpelt looked up from his study of the current"Hawkstar was a good leader,"He replied slowly"But so is Moonstar now.Your a good deputy too."He in no way was jealous when Meltingsnow got the position.They were about the same age...she was born only a few days before him.But she was a better hunting and more compassionate.He on the other hand was a fighter.
