Chapter 4: Fishing.


It was a clear and sunny day; the wind was blowing through Jake's fur as he took in the sight. "This is perfect weather to go exploring boys. Why don't Pinestar and I pitch the tent while you guys go and play."

"Why would I want to go out side?" Spat Scourge as he kicked a rock. "I don't even have my fan girl's to help me out here."

"Today is the worst day to go exploring."

Jake ignored his ignorant son and took out the instructions. Reading the map upside down.

"Wait, we get to go exploring? With out parental supervision? In the woods by ourselves?" The stunned Tigerstar asked. He couldn't believe his worst enemy's father would trust him enough to let him go into the woods by himself were he could easily get into a fight with the others. "That sounds great!"

Firestar padded over to them, spraying bug spray all over him. "What about Big foot? Could he be out there?"

"Don't worry, Bigfoot only eats fat kitty pets who come into a clan because of a dumb omen." Tigerstar said evilly. Scratching his chin casually.

"They also must be fire colored."

Firestar's eyes were wide open. "He'll eat my dad?"

"No you idiot, he means you!" Scourge interrupted.

"Come on boys, you should get a move on before it gets too late." Said Pinestar.

Tigerstar started walking into the forest. "I guess this is where our adventure begins."


"What should we do first?" Asked Firestar sat down by a lake.

"We could go fishing." Suggested Scourge surprisingly.

Firestar looked back at Scourge, surprised that he was actually pitching in. "Fishing? We aren't RiverClan cats. We can't even swim!."

Scourge ignored Firestar and took out three fishing poles. "Hey Tigester, do you know how to fish?"

"Tigerstar turned to Scourge. "No but, I've always wanted to fish."

"What? Since when have you ever wanted to fish?" Firestar asked as he butted in on the conversation.

Tigerstar pretended to not hear what Firestar and went on. "want to bet I can catch more fish than you?"

"In you're dreams." Scourge said challengingly a smirk growing on his face. Casting his line out into the lake, waiting for a tug on his line.

Firestar looked at them both and frowned as he took a fishing pole and casted it out. "I don't get whats fun about catching fish. All you do is catch and release them."

Tigerstar groaned. "Who said we're releasing them."

"We're going to eat them?" Firestar asked, stunned. "I don't like fish."

Scourge decided. "No, we're going to skin them and let them die because they will bleed to death or not have enough air."

Tigerstar looked at Scourge sourly. "You're sick. You're just plain sick."

Firestar looked like he was going to get sick, thinking of dead skinned fish, on his plate. He never knew how long it would be until they actually caught something, at least not until he felt a tug on his line. "Hey, I think I got one! I got one guys!"

"Great job and all that crap, can I get a knife to put myself out of my misery." Said Tigerstar annoyed. Not noticing the cat ears sticking out of the water from where Firestar's line was.

"Guys..." Firestar said as he started noticing the ears. "I think you might want to see this."

Scourge ignored Firestar. Not even noticing the tail starting to stick out of the water. "Yea, sure what ever."

Firestar let out as a cat lead out of the water, a worm dangling in the jaw. "Leopardstar!"

"Leopardstar!" Screeched Scourge.

"Put it back! Put it back!" Screeched Tigerstar. Knowing Leopardstar had a crush on him made the trip even creepier than it had to be.

With that, Firestar screeched and threw Leopardfur back into the lake. Watching her swim away.


Back at the camp, Pinestar was reading the direction very carefully, making sure the mallets were in place. Placing poles into the ground. "This is easy. I bet I could to this with my eyes closed and one paw behind my back."

"Well, we're almost done, and nothing can stand in our way!" Jake exclaimed as he placed a tarp over the top of the tent and walked back to Pinestar.

Pinestar thought for a moment. "Well, there's the boys, a tornado, a lion, a tiger, a bear, us."

Suddenly, a phone started buzzing. It was Flamestripe!

"Hey guys, its Flamestripe. How are you?" Flamestripe asked.

Jake picked up his phone. 'Oh, we're great! The boys went out camping, they'd probably be back in a while."

Flamestripe gasped, surprised they would let all three of them in the woods by themselves. "So you're saying you left Tigerstar, Firestar, and Scourge to go off into the woods by them selves. In a dark area with tones of pointy objectects?"

"Yea, isn't it great!" Jake said, oblivious to the surprise in his voice.

Flamestripe groaned in annoyance and whispered in the background. "Honeypaw, get the police ready."

"Sure thing." Honeypaw whispered while dialing 911-911-TigerstarFirestarScourge.

Pinestar walked up and took the phone from Jake's paw. "Hey, its Pinestar. It's going great down here. The boys are outside, playing while we just build a tent."

"Well, okay. I hope to see you alive-I mean soon." Flamestripe said, catching himself.

"Bye." Jake said as he took the phone back. "Talk to you later."

Pinestar shivered and stood up. "I guess we should build a fire now. It's getting cold outside."

"Yea we should." Said Jake. "I'll go start that."

Looking up at the sky, Pinestar saw it dimming at the second. "The boys should get home before its to dark and they end up getting lost. I wonder what they are doing."

"Yup." Jake said back. "But what ever they're doing, its probably a happy conversation while walking home.

At that moment, Firestar, Tigerstar, and Scourge all trudged into camp.

"I see you boys had some fun." Pinestar said, happily biting into some fish.

Jake sat down next to Pinestar. "Come over here, we have tones of fish."

All three of the boys walked over to the fire and sat down.

"Why don't you guys tell us about you're day." Jake asked while munching on a fish bone.

Scourge thought for a moment. "Well, it all started when we sat down at a lake..."
