Londonvetgirl25 suggested that Jayfeather should learn how to swim.

I think that's a good idea... Right?

By the way, I might not update this very frequently. This is just something I'm doing on the side, sooo... Yeah.

I don't own Warriors.

Jayfeather Goes Swimming... In the Moonpool

"Jayfeather, the half-moon meeting is tonight!"

Jayfeather sighed. "Okay, Alderheart, keep your fur on."

Jayfeather shook leaves out of his pelt and followed Alderheart out of the medicine cat den.

A while later

"Why don't you ThunderClan cats learn how to swim?" Willowshine asked.

Alderheart shrugged. "Because we don't need to learn."

"And because I prefer dry fur," Jayfeather added with a flick of his tail.

All the medicine cats were gathered around the Moonpool. Stars glittered on its surface.

"Come on, you should try it!" Mothflight yowled.

"No way," Jayfeather hissed. "Not in a million years."

Alderheart suddenly had an idea. "Jayfeather, I won't allow kits in the medicine cat den for a moon if you try to swim in the Moonpool right now."

Jayfeather gaped at him. "No! The Moonpool is a sacred place!"

A StarClan cat, Firestar, appeared next to Jayfeather. "StarClan doesn't mind," Firestar shrugged before pushing Jayfeather into the water.

Jayfeather sank to the bottom. The medicine cats leaned over the edge, as did Firestar.

"Uhhhhh, is he going to be okay?" Pebbleshine asked tentatively.

Firestar shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe."

"Somebody should really go get him..." Kestrelflight meowed.

Mothflight groaned. "Ugh, fine."

She leapt into the Moonpool. It sent ripples in the water. A moment later, her head popped out.

"Wait, what am I looking for?"

"Jayfeather!" Alderheart hissed. "Get him before he drowns!"

"That's the grumpy cat, right?" Mothflight asked, tilting her head.

"Just get any cat down there!" Alderheart hissed in exasperation.

Mothflight disappeared below the surface, and came up with...

A brown tabby?

"What the...? Who's that?" Pebbleshine asked.

Mothflight threw the tabby onto the ground. The tabby shook his fur out, sending water droplets in every direction.

"I'm-" the tabby started, but Firestar yeeted the tom away into SkyClan's old gorge.

"Nobody cares who you are!" he yowled. Then the former ThunderClan leader turned back to Mothflight. "I think Jayfeather's dead now..."

"Can't you check StarClan for him?" Kestrelflight asked. Firestar flicked his tail.

"Are you sure he'd go to StarClan?" the ThunderClan leader inquired.

"Great, my mentor is dead now," Alderheart meowed, flicking his tail. Then he straightened. "No! I won't give up on him!"

Alderheart crouched down, before leaping into the Moonpool. Water stung his eyes, but he scanned the ground for any sign of Jayfeather.

And then he saw it; Jayfeather was dead, his body lying in the bottom of the Moonpool. Alderheart's lungs burned, and reluctantly, he swam back to the surface.

"Jayfeather's dead," he whispered.

In StarClan

"Oh, this just great!" Jayfeather whined. "I died in the *ing Moonpool!"

"Hey, watch your language," Yellowfang snapped.

"Nope!" Jayfeather hissed. "And I'm going to just be a pain in your back until you return me to the real world!"

Jayfeather raised his muzzle to the sky and started caterwauling.

"Jayfeather, stop-" Redtail began.

"MROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

"Stop it-"

"MRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

"SHUT U-"

"MRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

"Gah! I can't live with this for all eternity," Briarlight growled, her paws over her ears. "Send him back!"

All the StarClan cats agreed. Jayfeather was sent back.

Back by the Moonpool

Alderheart dipped his head in sadness, but turned around when he heard a yowl of triumph. Standing with his fur dripping and his blind eyes twinkling was...

"Jayfeather!" Alderheart meowed in delight. "You're alive!"

Jayfeather shook out his fur. "I will never swim. Ever."

And that's why Jayfeather can't die. Because he'll just caterwaul until StarClan sends him back.
