I decided to "wake up" at that time. I opened my eyes and said, "What are you doing?" Trying to seem as clueless as I could. For all he knows, I didn't hear a thing.
"Hmm?" he grumbled, seeming half asleep.
I turned my head to face him, "What are you doing?" I murmured again, prodding him with my paw. "WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD!" I yelled into his ear and he jumped up from his sleeping place startled by the sudden noise. Duskpelt was looking around frightened, then he turned to me, his head tilted to the side looking very confused. Amusing.
"Huh?" still half asleep. I smiled. This was the only time I could mess with him. Then he got up and laid himself beside me again. "Good morning," he said groggily. I rolled my eyes.
"Good morning, I mewed in my polite way of greeting others.
He smiled and licked my forehead. "I love you," he mewed quietly. What? Did he think he could get me to love him in just one day? I didn't answer and he sighed. "I guess you don't." And then he smiled at me again before turning away from me to lick his flank while I washed myself too.
"So," he began, still washing himself and turned away from me, "what's with the good mood you're in?" Duskpelt turned to me again, eyeing me suspiciously and still smiling.
I sighed. "It's the morning, a new day, and I feel good. That's why," I mewed. Duskpelt nodded. I couldn't stand it, I wanted to be with Emberheart today. "I'm going to go visit Emby," I stated, beginning to stand.
"Go ahead." He mewed. He was so happy today. Why? I decided not to ponder of it and just left him to himself. The camp was beginning to stir and I found Emberheart amongst the cats in the clearing.
"Hi Emby!" I shouted. She looked up and asked me to come over.
"Spottedtail," she smiled, "haven't seen you a lot yesterday." Yesterday. That reminds me.
"Oh yeahhh…say what was that all about with you and Streakfoot yesterday?" I asked her trying to hold my laughter. In turn, she glared at me.
"Well, it's really none of your business. You'll figure out sometime anyways." She said matter-of-factly. I grimaced. I wanted to know now. But, oh well. Then I smiled at her again. "So," Emberheart started, "what was that about with you and Duskpelt, huh?" Six words in two sentences came to my head at that moment. What the heck. And other one was: 'oh my gosh.'
I sighed. "It was…" I began to wonder for some reason. I wondered what Emberheart would say. Nonetheless, I would be teased for a long while. But if I told her, rumor would spread throughout the camp. So I decided, "…nothing." She looked at me with curiosity sparkling in her eyes.
"Really?" she meowed and smirked, "Then I'll go and ask him myself!" She trotted off towards the medicine cat den. Uh-oh. I followed silently behind her, knowing that if I stopped her she would get really suspicious. We couldn't have that now could we?
Once inside, Duskpelt was daydreaming. "Wha?" he murmured when we walked in. "Oh, hi guys." Emberheart and I nodded our hello's. After a few more moments of awkward silence, she started interrogating.
"Duskpelt?" she said innocently, getting his attention, "What did Spotty and you do yesterday?" She asked him casually.
He blinked and looked at me. "Nothing." Phew. I didn't want to be pestered about things like this. I'M the only one who gets to pester others with things like this.
Emberheart said, "Ok. Spottedtail," she looked to me now, "come and hunt with me!" I nodded and we left, leaving Duskpelt alone yet again.
Once out of camp, Emberheart was bombarding me with questions. "Are you sure you guys didn't do anything? Anything at all? Talk? Anything?" she mewed, eyeing me suspiciously.
"Okay, if you put it like that, all we did was talk." I answered.
"About what?" Actually…what DID we talk about? There were so many subjects.
So instead, I just answered, "It's a long story."
"Fine." We padded in silence for awhile and hunted for some prey. At the half point of the route we were taking, we had gathered up three mice, a vole, and a starling. Pretty good. And then something really funny happened…
"Hi Emberheart!" said a voice from somewhere in the ferns. Anyone could recognize that voice. Streakfoot.
"Hi," she said. I mewed a hello and we sat in a sort of circle. "What are you doing out here?"
"I was out hunting, looks like you have too," he said looking over our shoulders at the pile of dirt covering what we had caught. We nodded in unison.
"I'm going to go look for herbs," I said, trying to get the pair alone. And so, I left them, but of course not without me within earshot and sight range.
"Why did you come?" Emberheart whispered to Streakfoot.
"Because," he said at a lower whisper than hers, "I needed to see you." Then he muttered something too low for me to hear. Fox dung, I wanted to hear! Emberheart also muttered something back, but I couldn't hear it either. What were they saying? I stepped closer and tripped on the roots of a tree.
"Ouch!" I murmured, my hind paw stuck in between some roots and my face in the ground. "Ouch," I repeated. Emberheart and Streakfoot were standing in front of me in a second. I lifted my head and noticed that their pelts were touching. I burst into a fit of laughter. Emberheart and Streakfoot stared at me like I was crazy. "I tripped on a root, you know how mousebrained that sounds? I tripped on a root!" I said through my laughing. I was still given the 'are you crazy' look. They helped me walk to camp, still laughing. But the actual reason was because of Emberheart and Streakfoot. Even with me now, I still kept on laughing. I would probably need a while before I could look at Emberheart and not laugh and the same goes with Streakfoot. Why was this so funny? I do not know. I probably have gone crazy.
They put me in the medicine den and Emberheart gave me poppy seeds. I still don't know why, but the laughing went on. Now, Duskpelt, Emberheart, and Streakfoot were giving me that look. Then I finally calmed down, the poppy seeds taking effect.
"Ok, I'm done." I said calmly. My eyes were heavy and I yawned, "I'm sleepeh…" Emberheart whispered something to the other two and they left the den. I smiled, silence, and I have the den to myself finally. Sleep came soon.
