Brownpaw rose to his paws. 'I don't care which we do, either sounds good to me.' he grinned crookedly and twitched his tail as he waited for someone else to decide. He had always been a good natured cat, despite his hard past, and his only fault seemed to be that he could never make his mind up about anything.
Quickpaw still said nothing, still irritated. She went on grooming herself, not caring which they did but knowing that she would go with them whatever they did because she didn't like to let her brother out of her sight. She had let her mother out of her sight once and she never saw her again after that, she was determined never to let Tigerpaw out of her sight if at all possible.
Tigerpaw shot Quickpaw a reproachful glance before returning his gaze to Thunderpaw. He knew that Quickpaw would get over it eventually but she wouldn't be hurried. 'How about swimming then?' he suggested, he never had trouble deciding on things, in fact he liked decisions, though he didn't always pick the best course of action. He rose. 'We can show you our swimming hole if you like, unless you have a place in mind already.'

Thunderpaw put his paw down and stiood up and ficked his tail. "No, you swimming hole sounds fune. WHere is it anyway?" he looked at Quickpaw and smiled, hopeing she would forgive him.

Tigerpaw grinned and started off. 'This way!' he called over his shoulder. He hoped that Thunderpaw would follow close to him so that he could explain Quickpaw's coldness. He glanced over his shoulder to see if he was following, noticing the appeasing look that he gave Quickpaw. He sighed, knowing that she wouldn't be happy just because of a smile.
Brownpaw started off behind Tigerpaw, keeping his pace slow so that he could be alone to talk to Quickpaw. Though he couldn't see he had noticed that she wasn't talking, and he could feel the tension. He was a born pacifist, and didn't like others to be angry with each other. He was good at talking cats out of bad moods but he knew that Quickpaw could be hard to pacify. He smiled towards Thunderpaw, hoping he would go on ahead with Tigerpaw.\
Quickpaw paid no heed to Thunderpaw's smile. She was offended and when she was offended she didn't get happy again easily. She started off at a slow trot, ignoring Thunderpaw completely. She could tell that Brownpaw wanted to talk to her, and she knew why also.

Thunderpaw let his tail droop. He knew he had made her angry with him and he felt bad. He sprinted to cathce up woth Tigerpaw and looked at him. "Is she your sister? Can you tell her Im sorry? I didnt mean to hurt anyones feelings, its justthat no one every pays any attention to me. It seems like they are scared of me most of the time. Like Im a rouge or something! But Im not! I love my Clan, I just wish the Clan loved dme back!" he dropped his head and sighed. Would I be trested different if I was Clan born? he thought sadly. What is the difference if I was Clan born or not if I am still loyal to the Clan?

Tigerpaw trotted beside Thunderpaw. 'It's alright, she's pretty 'on edge' today. She's like that sometimes. Don't worry though, she'll get over it by tomorrow, maybe even before then.' he grinned. 'Anyway, me and Brownpaw like ya, and I'm sure that Quickpaw will to once she gets over her grouchyness.' He flicked his tail and headed towards there private 'swimming hole'.
Brownpaw followed close behind with Quickpaw. 'I'm sure he didn't mean to cause offense, think how you would feel if you were in his paws.' he smiled and nudged her a little, trying to urge her out of her black mood.
Quickpaw aknowledged Brownpaw's words with a nod but didn't change outwardly. On the inside though she was putting herself in Thunderpaw's paws, wondering what it would feel like to not have many cats talk to you. She sighed as she continued on, seeming to pay little heed to Brownpaw's antics as he tried to cheer her up.

"Well, you know her more then I do. Ill take your word for it." he nodded at Tigerpaw and smiled. "So, when did you learn to swim? Have you secretly benn takeing lessons from a RiverClan cat?" he joked. He nudged Tigerpaw and laughped.

Tigerpaw laughed nervously and smiled ackwardly. 'Uh, well, I guess you could say that. I met a she-cat at the gathering and she told me how to start about swimming.' he looked at his paws. 'I only met her once on her own territory so that she could demonstrate.' he looked back up at Thunderpaw. 'It's a secret. Only me and Quickpaw and Brownpaw know about it. Well, and now you. You won't tell anyone?'

"No, I wont tell. But if we get in trouble, if someone finds out, we might have to. But I dont think we will!" he fiished quickly, "By the way, what did the shecat look like? Was she pretty? Warrior or apprentice? What is a gathering like?" Thunderpaw asked. He had never been to a gathering, so he wanted to know as much as possible. He padded along next to Tigerpaw, patiently awaiting his answer.

Tigerpaw grinned as he spoke. 'I can't say for sure what the RiverClanner looked like, it was dark when we met so I couldn't see her very well. From what I saw she looked nice enough, she was an apprentice, but she was getting ready for her warrior's ceremony so I guess she's a warrior now.' He kept up his steady pace as he chattered on. 'Gatherings are really cool. There's tons of cats and it's fun to talk to so many different apprentices. The medicine cats usually stay together, talking about herbs and other boring stuff, and and leaders sit up on a big rock.'

"WOW! And you dont get in trouble when you talk to another Clan cat? That's amazing!" he waved his gray and black tail and looked behind him. "Has Brownpaw and Quickpaw gone to one?" His yello eyes gleamed at the thought of going to a gathering.

Tigerpaw looked at Thunderpaw curiously. 'You can talk to anyone you want to at a gathering.' he grinned. 'That's the only time though.' he half growled, deep down inside he wished the clans could just all get along and work together. He glanced back up as he heard Thunderpaw's question. 'Oh yeah, they've both been to one. Haven't you? Maybe you can go next time!'

Tigerpaw shrugged. He was curious to know why cats treated Thunderpaw so differently, he couldn't help his parantage. 'Well... here we are.' he smiled and looked at Thunderpaw as they arrived at their destination, a clear cool pool surrounded by leafy bushes. He hoped that it would sheer Thunderpaw up a little to play, it always helped him. He glanced behind himself to see where Quickpaw and Brownpaw were.
Quickpaw and Brownpaw were talking quietly between themselves as they walked. When they came around the corner they joined Thunderpaw and Tigerpaw at the edge of the pool. Brownpaw dipped his paw into the water. 'Feels nice today.

Tigerpaw, Quickpaw, and Brownpaw all jumped at about the same time, hitting the water with a splash, splash, splash. Tigerpaw immediatly dove under the water while Brownpaw attemped to answer Thunderpaw's question. 'Um, I'm not sure if there are any fish in here, never looked for any.' he smiled as he succeeded in wording it correctly. Tigerpaw, who was under the water, grabbed Thunderpaw's hind leg and pulled him under for a moment. Brownpaw grinned and Quickpaw just watched, not hostile, but still not friendly either.
