Cloudedpatch padded to the river's edge. Looking in, he could see his reflection. His gray patch stood out against his white pelt. His green eyes glowed as he prepared to take a dip in the river. He loved swimming. It was one of his favorite things to do. Other than patrol of course. He groomed himself quickly. He looked around just before slipping into the water. The water wasn't very deep where he chose. But his paws didn't touch the bottom. It was refreshingly cool. He liked it that way the best. He slowly went back to the water's edge and started to pull himself quickly out of the water.

Speckledstar aproched the riverand could sense that a cat was tacking a swim. She smiled when she saw Cloudpatch emerge onto the bank. His white fur gleaming from the water he had exited. She smiled and then pussed her way through the reeds. " Hello Cloudpatch..." The she cat asked gingerly. She had developed a sor of bond, with the warrior.She enjoyed his company a little more than she had for other toms in her clan. All the same, the leader knew that this tom was loyal, not that the others wernt but, she addmired his loyaly and how hard she saw him work for his clan. " Come for a swim?..."

Cloudedpatch smiled at the offer. Just another excuse to take another swim. "Good morning. And sure I would love to go for a swim." He said happily. He loved swimming, but swimming with other cats was so much more fun. He didn't like talking to himself. He figured out it would make him look odd. He went to the water's edge and slipped quickly back into the water. He turned and waited patiently for his leader to make her way into the water. "The water feels great!" He said happily with a sly smile. He wondered if she had seen him swimming earlier. Or had guessed that he had been swimming.

ooc: um, not what I mant but that works to,lol
ic: Speckledstar laughed and then slide gracefully into the crystal clear water. She dove under, her spotted pelt slickly moving in the waves that flowed around her. The leader opened her eyes to see the silver and tan scaly bodies swiming around her paws. She was tempted to snatch one, but she was so bliss that she let them be. When she could hold her breath no longer she swam to the surface and took in a deep breath. It had been a while since the she cat had entered the water. As a matter of fact, she hadnt been swiming since she was a warrior. She had forgotton how much she adored swimming, the way it moved around her and the fresh sweet scent that she found so calming. She looked around at the green life that grew around it. Then her eyes rested on the white pelt of Cloudpatch. At that moment, if she could blush she would have. Speckledtsar was embaressed at how she acted when she was in the water, which was one of the reasons she didnt swim much even though she loved the water...

OOC- Sorry. IC- Cloudedpatch watched his leader as she came into the water and then vanish as she went below the surface. He could see her spotted pelt moving smoothly in the water. He could tell that she hadn't entered the water in a while from the way she moved about in it. He admired his leader much so, but even if there were leader duties that needed to be done, wasn't there time to go for a swim more often? If you couldn't, he would die from lack of swimming if he ever became leader. "Haven't taken a swim in a long while have you?" He guessed with a sly smile. He moved closer to his leader, closing the gap between them.

Speckledstar laughed and then nodded." No, I havent. I use to swim in the water almost every day..."The she cat laughed again." Cinderstar use to come and swim with me when I was a warrior, he said that I was like a fish that could walk on land..." She looked around her and memories flooded into her mind. She shook them away so that she wouldnt be hert by her memories when she would reach the part where he dear leader died." I have noticed that you swim almost every day Cloudpatch." Her speckled coat still moving in the water." I almost followed you once, but I had to lead a potral...." She sighed and swam a few mouse lengths to the shallows. She sat on her haunches, the water lapping at her sides....

Cloudedpatch moved to sit beside his leader. "But isn't this what you wanted? To become leader? I know I am not the only one who dreamed of becoming leader when I was a kit." He said softly. His pelt had been brushing hers, but noticing it, he made space between him and his leader. He really did know that he wasn't the only kit in the Clan that dreamed of being leader. His littermates and his denmates did it too. And he wasn't ashamed of it. He had figured out that it rarely happened. Cats died never coming close to becoming even deputy.

" It is more than I dreamed but..being leader... you talk to many of the cats much. I mean you talk to them but it is to give them orders. I dont have many friends Cloudpatch. They look at me like I am a warrior of Starclan for crying out loud!!" The spotted leader sighed and continued in a low whisper." They dont talk or see me as I use to be. Just a warrior defending her clan. When Cinderstar died, I became leader and no one even looked at me the same since I return from getting my nine lives." Speckledstar sighed again and then bowed my head. " I am active in my clan. I join most of the potrals. but, I work this much because I want them to see me as Who I am but not What I am. I am a hard working she cat that protects her clan. Nothing more, and nothing less." She took a deep breath and then looked a the almost completly white warrior." Oh I wish I could do this ever day. Just talk and swim..." She looked at the crystal clear water, her eyes gleeaming from the reflection and just enjoyed the view...

Cloudedpatch couldn't think of anything to say to his leader. He had no idea what it was like to be leader. "Don't say that." He said, trying to think of more to say. "Your Clan respects you and always looks up to you. You don't need to prove to any cat that you are any more loyal than any other cat." He said. He didn't think it made any sense but maybe it would to her. "I bet you have proven your loyalty over and over again to protect your Clan." He said. He brushed his fur comfortingly up against hers.

The spotted leader nudged Cloudpatch back trying to comfert her self in his warm scent. " Its not about my loyalty Cloudpatch... its just... hardly any one talks to me as friends. Its been moons since someone has offered to share a piece of freshkill with me, or just said good morning when I walk out of my den..." Speckledstar rested her head on the warriors flank. Her voice about to crack she tried to calm her self as she rested there, soaking in his warmth...

Cloudedpatch rested his head on her head. She felt bad for the she-cat. But alot of the cats in the Clan would love to be leader and she was making it seem like it was the worst thing in the forest. Of course there were some cats that would probably rather die than become deputy and then leader. He sure wouldn't be one of them. It surely wasn't the most horrible thing in the world right? Having wanting to change the subject he stood up. Trying to be as nice as possible, he turned towards Speckledstar. "Didn't we come in the river to swim?" He asked before turning and diving into the water.

Speckledstar laughed and then walked into the water after him. " Yes we did..." The leader sank below the surface and then popped up infront if the tom, her cheeks filled with the sparkling water... She pushed the water out of her partly open jaws, soaking the toms face with the liquid. She laughed and then mad an escape...

Cloudedpatch shook his head after the water hit his face. How mean! He laughed. "Hey! I am going to get you back!" He yelled after her as she had started running away. He chased after the spotted leader and jumped up in the air. He was hoping to land on her back and knock her off her paws. The water put him at a disadvantage though. He could never jump very high while he was in the water. He hated it. But right now, he felt so much like an apprentice again. Playing in the river with the other apprentices. He loved it.

Speckledstar felt pressure on her sholders and before she knew it, she was under the water. She resurfaced and laughed," Now its my turn!!" She dove under once more and then pulled Cloudpatch under. She looked at the tom, her green eys warm. She felt like she was only 7 moons old again. Playing with her mentor and friends in the water. She blinked at the white warrior and then smiled. She kicked away, while she could and reserfaced a fox length away...

Cloudedpatch laughed as Speckledstar fell beneath the water and then pulled him under. Oh how much fun this was. He wished he could do this all day. It was easy to tell that she hadn't played in the water like this in moons. He stood still as he though about what to do next. "Having fun?" He asked. He doubted she would say no, but it was never a problem to ask anyway. He was having fun and that was all that mattered. He laughed as he splashed the water in Speckledstar's direction. He then remembered how wet he was now. He was soaked to the bone, but it didn't bother him one bit.
