Wildpaw smiled and walked out of the skyclan apprentice den real early in the morning. The sun was just about to peek over the horizon. He always got up this early to await the arrival of his mentor at the training hallow. Violetfire knew that, but what she didn't know that today was one of Wildpaw's days. The day that he was going to do another one of his tricks. Wildpaw would pick the day, time, and place randomly. Even when he was a kit he was able to jump out and scar warriors when he was in the best of moods. Of course this was Wildpaw's day. He had done such a good job on his assessment yesterday that he just had to do something today. Though jumping out and scarring Violetfire seemed alittle obvious. So this time he had to think of something completely different. This time he needed to get Violetfire off guard.

So instead of going to training hallow he decided to wait at the entrance to the warrior's den. He screwed up his face as one of the warriors passed him on their way out of the den. The tom kind of looked at him weirdly but Wildpaw wasn't really concerned about that at the moment. Today he felt "sick". Of course Wildpaw never felt "sick" But he decided to be today. And technically even if he was sick he would ignore it and go out being himself anyway. When Violetfire would come out Wildpaw would complain about how the assignment the day before had been rough on him and that he didn't feel very well. Either that or he would complain about how something he ate last night didn't agree with his stomach. That seemed more logical. Then when all of that was said and done he would watch Violetfire leave the camp and go out hunting or something. While he is out there Wildpaw would get ready to attack the she-cat maybe rolling himself in some ferns or water in the process.

Though before Violetfire came out of the den he noticed Northstar at the entrance to his own den. The tom looked old and tired, even though he was quite young. He looked like he hadn't slept in forever. Wildpaw looked alittle shocked because the skyclan leader usually hid his worries and wonders pretty well. The young Skyclan apprentice stood up and padded over to the freshkill pile. He picked out a good rabbit and brought it over to Northstar.

Northstar looked down at Wildpaw with a look of pure confusion. It wasn't every day that an apprentice just came over on their own and gave the clan leader some prey in a symbol of respect. Wildpaw knew that his act of kindness was strange but he just couldn't see the leader so tired like this.

Violetfire thrashed in her sleep. Over and over the she-cat had the image of her mate dying in battle. Sparktail, The clans previous deputy should still be here, He should still watch his kits training. He shouldn't have died in a battle against the rogues it just wasn't right. She needed him and she needed him now! The she-cat awoke from a rough dream. Her nest was nearly torn apart and it looked like she hadn't slept in a moon! She realized that Wildpaw had his assessment yesterday and scored nearly perfectly but Violetfire wanted to make sure that Wildpaw was the best fighter especially that the clan had eve seen. That being said she request his presence for another round of training. She wanted him to be the best, something she knew her own kits would not be.

Her nose wrinkled as she scented him outside. He was up early which was a rather shock. The playful apprentice was normally out scaring the warriors. He was a strong tracker and sometimes she blamed herself for that. She rolled over and stood up, her blue eyes blinking once as the sunlight hit them hard. She watched as Wildpaw dropped a rabbit near Northstars paws. This was the act of kindness she didn't see often. She raised a curious brow and knew something was up. That or for once Wildpaw was showing her that she listened. That would have also been nice.

She looked at the apprentice and coughed trying to get his attention."It's time to go out battle training Wildpaw. Or did you forget?" The she-cat asked. The Deputy dipped her head respectfully to Northstar as she did every time she saw him. It wasn't every day that a cat who wasn't clan born became a deputy.

At the sound of Violetfire's voice Wildpaw hopped up in anticipation. Then he remembered that he stood in front of the SkyClan leader, Northstar. He quickly dipped his head in respect for the leader and then dashed after his mentor. It wasn't long before he groaned in annoyance. He had completely forgotten about his prank. He smiled and shrugged it off. It wasn't that big of a deal. It was just something fun to do.

"So!" Wildpaw said excitedly as he drew up beside his mentor. "What battle move are we going to work on today? Can it be some kind of ambush move? Or a spy maneuver? I wanna sneak up on someone! Maybe one of the other apprentices! Or, or, we could climb trees today, like the ThunderClan cats, or swim like RiverClan cats! It would totally throw them off!"

One of Wildpaw's specialties, rambling. He just couldn't help himself. When he was excited he would just go off on any particular subject. It was entertaining for him, especially since it so little to occupy him.

Then he bounced in excitement. An idea had popped into his mind and he knew it would either stay there until he finished it, or it would slip away like so many other ideas that he had gotten bored of.

"Violetfire! You should do a prank with me! That would be AWESOME! We could sneak up on another mentor and apprentice who are practicing battle moves or something! Come one please!" He stepped in front of his mentor to stop her and bounced up and down multiple times with hope.
