Third Person POV:
"I believe you Lionkit, well done." I praised him. He brightened at that.
"But Firestar won't believe me," Lionkit's shoulders sagged again.
"Well I do, and we'll try to convince him together." I rested my muzzle on his head.
"Great!" Lionkit jumped up and ran to where the clan was gathered.
"He really is a wonderful kit…" Sorreltail murmured, making me jump.
"Sorry, I didn't realize you were still there…you're right, he's so bright." Brambleclaw meowed.
"He'll make a wonderful warrior," she mewed. Brambleclaw turned to look at her.
"It seems like I'm a terrible father though," he sighed.
"You are most definitely not! He looks up to you so much! You should hear him boast about you all day! You're an amazing father!"
"Thanks Sorreltail…" Brambleclaw mumbled, embarrassed by her praise. She let out a purr and walked past him, flicking his ear with her tail as she did. He followed the pretty tortoiseshell to where the clan was gathered.
Firestar was already meowing to the warriors, "Swimming is our biggest problem. As you can see, the other three clans know how to swim very well. Now, as we can tell from Spiderleg's coat, he knows how to swim very well." A ripple of amusement ran through the cats. Firestar got up and sat on the edge, near the lake.
"Now, in order to practice, we-" Before Firestar could finish, Brambleclaw ran up and pushed Firestar into the lake.
"That's my revenge for what you did during training sessions!" he yowled, waiting for Firestar to resurface. Firestar struggled up, splashing and spluttering.
"I can't swim you mouse-brain!" Firestar yowled before he went under again. Brambleclaw panicked. Oops! I should go save him...He leaped into the lake after Firestar. Kicking his legs to stay afloat, Brambleclaw searched the waters for Firestar, who was nowhere to be found.
"Firestar!" he yowled in alarm. Just then, Firestar shot out of the water, scaring the mice out of Brambleclaw. Firestar fell back into the water, laughing, while easily staying afloat.
"That'll teach you to mess with me! Now," he climbed onto Brambleclaw's back, "...TO THE ISLAND!" Brambleclaw, struggling under Firestar's weight, swam back to the island. He plopped Firestar on the shore and collapsed, panting.
"You're so heavy! You need to lay off the extra fresh-kill!" he panted.
"ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT!" Firestar gasped.
"YES!" Brambleclaw growled. Firestar scoffed.
"Well, to be honest, you are a bit on the kittypet side…" Cloudtail trailed off.
Firestar gasped. "And you fight like a kittypet!"
"You take that back you crow-food eating fox!" Brightheart exclaimed.
"EVERYBODY STOP! I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!" Dustpelt stepped forward, raising his voice. All the cats turned to him. Dustpelt took a deep breath, "I...am actually in love with Firestar…" He looked away. The clan gasped.
"Wait...so in the training hollow, when you said you loved him to wake up...you weren't-" Squirrelflight paused.
Dustpelt shook his head, "I AM IN LOVE WITH FIRESTAR!"
Ferncloud ran up to him. "You piece of fox-dung!" she hissed. She swiped her claws across his face, leaving a trickle of red. Firestar, meanwhile, had his mouth wide open in shock, not moving.
"Um, Firestar….are you okay?" Brambleclaw asked cautiously. Firestar gulped and nodded. He walked over to Sandstorm and whispered in her ear.
Sandstorm gasped. "You piece of fox-dung!" She stalked over to sit beside Ferncloud, fuming. Firestar turned around and grinned sheepishly to the clan.
A/N: Sorry about how short it is! I just felt so bad about not updating for so long, so this is just a detail chapter!
