Pinestar and Tigerclaw quickly finished off the vole. Pinestar licked his lips, then stood up.
"Follow me Tigerclaw. I will take you to your father."
Pinestar started walking towards the entrance, Tigerclaw excitedly following. They went through the tunnel, emerging in the dense forest. Pinestar began running towards Twolegplace. He knew the way easily.
When they got there, Pinestar hopped onto his fence. Tigerclaw did the same, looking around. "Is this where my father lives?" Pinestar smiled. "Yes."
They leapt off the fence and into the yard. Pinestar ran into the shade of his favorite scratching tree, and settled down beside it. Tigerclaw did the same, although his pawing on the ground was sure to get annoying.
They waited for a little while, Tigerclaw staring at the Twoleg nest and Pinestar staring at Tigerclaw. His patience didn't last long.
"Where is my father?" He stood up and started pacing in front of Pinestar. "You promised me I would meet him!"
Pinestar put his tail on Tigerclaw's shoulder. "Relax Tigerclaw. You see your father right now. He's been with you the whole time."
Tigerclaw hissed. "That's absurd! The only other cat here is you!" He paced around a while more while Pinestar waited, slightly amused when Tigerclaw's eyes started to widen. He whirled around, getting into Pinestar's face.
"You." That was all he said. And he said it again. "You." He shook his head, tightly closing his eyes. He started walking again. "You."
"You know, I'm going to get tired of you saying that." Pinestar couldn't help but smile. Tigerclaw looked at him with such an intense gaze that Pinestar started to shrink back. Maybe it was a little too early for jokes.
But then, Tigerclaw got a happy gleam in his eyes. He pounced on Pinestar, and his body shook from Tigerclaw's purrs.
"I can't believe it's really you. You're my father. Pinestar is my father. And you're Pinestar…" Tigerclaw kept rambling on like this, but Pinestar waited. He knew how surprised Tigerclaw was.
For the rest of the day, Tigerclaw told Pinestar all about ThunderClan, and Pinestar told Tigerclaw about a kittypet life. Pinestar was fascinated by the life of a warrior, and Tigerclaw was disgusted when he found out what Pinestar ate.
By the time the sun started to set, Pinestar had remembered (and learned) all about the Warrior Code, the different ranks, and the role of StarClan. And then Tigerclaw threw something out Pinestar hadn't been expecting.
