The tom lays curled up by his favorite tree.

Leafsong, his friend, walked up to him. Hi, can i speak to you she said.

The tom looks up. "Yes, what would you like to say to me?" he waits patiently for an answer.

well, would you like to hunt? He is good-looking she thought.

"Would I like to hunt? Hm... My scheduled just now cleared for you!" he purrs. "Hunting it is..."

"Oh hey Scratch, what are you doing here?" She looks over to the other she-cat aggressively flicking her tail. She then ignores her and rubs against EyeScratcher's pelt. "Soooo Scratch, are we going on a hunt or what?"

"Oh, yeah... Um... About that.... LeafSong and I were thinking of going on a hunt just right now before you -he stutters- sort of interrupted us." He looks to LeafSong and shrugs. "um... BeechNail,, like you said before we are over right? So can I hang out with my friends without you um... Stalking me?" he slowly steps back, so his pelt is now touching LeafSong's.

She hesitates for a moment. "Hmph, we can still be friends. Besides I have Goldenfur." she abrubtly walks ahead. "Come on you slowpokes let's hunt!"

"Um, BeechNail, I don't think you should come with us...." he pauses. "Don't you think Goldenfur would be angry?

"No way, he is always telling me to hang out more often!" she continues trotting ahead.

(He hisses. "GoldenFur doesn't like you! Why can't you just process that through your head? He loves Melosa and Melosa loves him. That is how it is suppose to be." He turns to LeafSong and nudges her the other way. "I am sorry LeafSong, I live a very complicated life. I hope we can still hunt together because I'm starving..." he starts to pant.) he thought of that scene in his head but was way to friendly to say it. He looks at LeafSong in the eyes then nudges her away from BeechNail. "Maybe we can sneak away." he whispers.

The she-cat turns around... no body was there. She starts to call out "Hey EyeScratcher, And other cat. Where are you guys at?" She looks around ears perked. Tired of looking she then just leaves.

hey could i jump in?

I think....... Leafsong turned twords Eyescratcher. It's o.k. she said. Well, I think we should start hunting, because if we don't, that other cat will scare all the prey away! she joked.

"Oh yeah!" he says jokingly. "I almost forgot about that!" He turns towards the newcomer. "Hey you, what's your name?" He tilts his head.

"My name is Astralflight," the new she-cat mewed in reply.

"Hm..." he stares at her. "Cool!"

Leafsong smiled. wanna be friends? she said to Astralflight.

"Hmmm.... Let's go now before it gets dark!" he smiles.

o.k.! says Leafsong. in almost no time at all, she had caught a mouse and a rabbit.
