with a roll of her eyes, she dived back underneath the water, swimming as swiftly as a fish. she spotted timepaw not much farther from her, but instead of playing with her friend, she swam into the depths, but not too far. the silver she-cat's aquatic blue gaze searched for fish, until a movement caught her eye. a trout scurried by, and imagi darted after it, reaching out with her unsheathed claws and putting her paws around it. it snapped at her teethlessly, but she made the mistake of scratching it underwater, sending blood gushing from it's open wound. grasping the fish within her jaws, imaginarypaw swam back atop the surface, scrambling onto the shore and tossing the prey on the bare ground next to the motionless fish she'd caught before. she shook her fur, sending water droplets flying amongst everything. turning back to the river, her blue gaze searched the waters for timepaw's black pelt. |

Timepaw had come up for a breath of air, but before his friend re-emerged, he submerged again. He was deep in the cool water, about to catch a rather large fish. He frowned, distracted as a rush of dark liquid clouded his vision. Blood? He squinted to see, but he couldn't see anything, there was blood in his eyes. Fighting to reach the surface, his head broke out into the fresh air, and he took a deep breath. He blinked to clear his eyes, sadly returning with no fish. "Are, y-you bleeding?" He asked, looking worriedly at his friend.

Imagi blinked at her friend, softening as she recognized the worry in his eyes. "So you do care for me." She grinned. "I'm not bleeding, it's just the way I killed this fish." She said at last.

Timepaw nodded, relieved, though a frown flashed across his vision. "Of course I care for you" he mewed. However, after he said so, he flushed red, realizing how the words might sound to her.

The silver tabby couldn't help but let out a purr. She could tell by his expression she'd just made it awkward. A glimmer of amusement flared in her blue eyes and she replied back with, "Well that's good. I'm only checking..." Imagi honestly didn't know how to respond. She was afraid of how it'd sound, but something told her it didn't really matter. Shaking herself, she changed the subject. "Well, you'd better try and catch something, it would look pretty bad for us to head back to camp with only me carrying prey." Imaginarypaw grinned. She'd just alluded toward the fact that she-cats were better hunters than toms.

Timepaw nodded with a weak smile, and waited a moment to catch his breath, before diving back down. The cloud of blood had cleared, and now he saw prey to target. The fish wasn't as big as the one that he had seen before, but oh well, better than nothing. He kicked his back legs to push himself forward, extending his claws to spear one of the fish's fins. Upon grabbing it, he used his other paw to help pull it in, grabbing it in his maw, and swimming to the surface. He bit down, breaking it's neck, and making his way over to the bank to set it down. "Ready to head back?" He asked, looking at Imaginarypaw.

"Yeah. I'm getting hungry anyways." Imagi said, with a nod. She picked up her two pieces of prey and began to think of what she'd said before, as she started to head back.

Timepaw picked up his catch as well, padded next to his friend. He debated saying something, but he was slightly nervous, though he didn't know why, so he stayed silent.

Imaginarypaw, suddenly realizing the silence, broke from her dead-like aura and jumped back into action, suddenly bouncing forward and then turning around. She noticed Timepaw acting more awkward than usual and tilted her head. "What's up?" She asked, returning to her usual happy-go-lucky self.

"Nothing really" Timepaw mewed. How was he supposed to tell his best friend that he had more feelings for her than just friendship? "I was just thinking about-" not now Timepaw he thought sternly. What if he screwed up, and made her angry?

"Thinking about....." She continued, staring at him blankly.
[idea! what if timepaw did withdraw from shaman and let angelkit replace him?]

(That's what I was thinking :3 .)
"About, well, a lot of things" Timepaw mewed, trying to dodge around his feelings, and change the subject. "Like who our leader might end up being." What the black and white tom didn't know, was that the choice would come down to him.

[sweet! c:]
"Oh." She said, understanding. "Well, that's nothing to worry about. The leader will be chosen in time."

(Any ideas about who you think should be a leader? Riverclan is practically made of apprentices XD.)
"I guess so" Timepaw agreed, "Do you ever wondering who it might be?"

[haha! erm... I dunno.... it is really strange, since there aren't many warriors]
"Not really. I mean, I've always dreamed of maybe becoming something higher in my clan myself, but... anything better than a warrior for me is restricted." Imaginarypaw said.
