"I win!" Fawnlight yowled as they reached the lake. " Of course you won, why did I even try?" Icestar said out of breath. " What do you mean, of course?" Fawnlight asked, confused. " Gee, I don't know, maybe because your one of, if not thee,  fastest cats in the clans, DarkClan included." Icestar said, seeming surprised at Fawnlight confusion. " Really?"  she asked " Yes, really, now are we going to fish or not." Icestar said, smiling. " Of course!" Fawnlight said. " Usual spot than a swim?" Icestar said. " Yep" said Fawnlight. The two she-cats paddled to the shady part of the Lake, where the fish always gathered. Without a sound or a ripple, Icestar slipped into the water. They both knew the routine, they had known it since kit hood. Fawnlight waited on the bank, Icestar in the water. Suddenly, Icestar shot forwards all the fish came to Fawnlight and she swatted as many as she could out, Icestar killing every fish she could in the water. Fawnlight manged to kill almost all of them, missing a few near the water. Icestar got a few fish and swam in. "Can you help with them?" she asked. Fawnlight nodded and slipped into the water, gathered up a few, and swam back. They both made a few trips. " We did good today." Icestar said Fawnlight nodded in agreement. " I'll get the leaves." she said and ran over to the ferns, ripped a few large leaves off, and ran back. They both started gathering up the fish and putting them in the ferns. They head back to the WaterClan camp and with a nod to Caringpoppy, dropped off the fish in Icestars den. Fawnlights name sake, Fawntail, looked at them as they past her, and shook her head. Fawnlight would never get why it was so hard to imagine a warrior being friends with a leader. They divided their bags into two piles and headed back to the Lake. They swam around a bit, but Fawntail had ruined the mood. They headed back to camp and Fawnlight took her share, two ferns, and went back to SeasonClan. Since Icestar had a clan to run, she got three bags. Without a word, Fawnlight undid the bags a the fresh-kill pile and let the fish out, and went to the warriors den. She collapsed into her nest, exasted, and fell to sleep.
