This was cool :)
Beepaw sighed as he padded into the elders den. Starlingstripe, one of the elders raised their head.
"Clan life getting to you Beepaw?"
"Yeah." Beepaw signed sighed again. "It's like I'm told to always do this or that and never get to pick what to do."
Starlingstripe smiled. "Well then I have just the story for you, youngster!"
"Really?" Beepaw asked, "Have I heard this one before?"
"No, it's a brand new one, one that has never been told before." Starlingstripe replied.
Beepaw sat down to hear the story.
"When I was your age," Starlingstripe started, "I had a best friend named Russetpaw. He was very funny, and we were always getting in to all kinds of trouble."
Starlingstripe paused to make sure Beepaw was paying attention.
"Well, one day we decided it would be fun to try and go to the moonrock (The moonrock is a shiny stone, just like the moon stone,) by ourselves, so we took so me traveling herbs and set off."
"You tried to go to the moonrock?" Beepaw interrupted.
"Yes, and stop interrupting, Beepaw. We were apprentices just like you are."
Starlingstripe purred in laughter. "Apprentices are always doing stuff they should've not done."
Beepaw looked guilty.
"Anyway, we started off in the in the morning so we wouldn't be caught. We got halfway to Shadeclan, before we started to run into problems."
"Let me guess. You ran into a patrol!" Beepaw exclaimed.
"Yes we did. They started to question us so we said we were hunting and got out off there! Luckley, we made it through Shadeclan fine, but as you know you have to get through Snowclan and Shadeclan to get to the Moonrock. We were about to cross into Snowclan, when-"
Beepaw interrupted again. "Did you fall in the river?"
"No Beepaw. Now be quiet and listen. Another patrol, Snowclan this time, spotted us. We had to claim we were Shadeclan apprentices, and that we chased a mouse to the river. We had to hide in the bushes, Russetpaw hated hiding in the bush!"
Starlingstripe chuckled at that.
"So then we found the moonrock, and the worst part was that we couldn't even talk to Starclan! Russetpaw was super disappointed, and we started to head home. There was no problems on the way back, thank Starclan! When we got back to camp the first thing we saw was my sister, Silverpaw, running frantically around camp, and she seemed distracted. I walked up to her and asked what was wrong, and she told me-"
"What?!" Beepaw asked eargerly.
"That we were missing and the whole clan was looking for us! Then she looked up and saw me. Great Starclan, she was mad! Then, Lilystar came into camp, and talked to us about reckless action. We were kept in camp for a moon, and we had to wait an extra moon to be warriors. I think it was worth it , just to see the moonrock, wouldn't you think so?"
Beepaw had sat through the whole ending quietly, and had been laughing quietly. "Did this really happen?" He said through laughter.
Starlingstripe smiled. "Yes, it did, and I don't regret it!"
Beepaw's mentor, Smokepelt poked his head into the den . "I'm sorry, but Beepaw needs to go hunting."
Beepaw sighed. "Back into the storm."
"Don't worry," Starlingstripe said, "If you ever need a break from clan life, just come in here. Take it from an elder, life always has a laugh."
Beepaw smiled and left with a, "I will!"
That was fun!
