A Meeting For Kits

First topic message reminder :

Robinkit glanced around as he used the dirt patch to disguise his scent, then snuck out of camp. He had tried to persuade the other kits to come with him but they were too scared.
Those frog hearts! He thought.
"They're missing out on something big!" He grumbled as he headed towards the Shadowclan camp.
Us kits are gonna have our own gathering!

[~I know how to swim in real, I'll help~]

Wading slowly into the water, and keeping watch for rocks (and other sharp objects), Moonkit was already enjoying the coolness of the flowing stream. "This is amazing," she purred. "I wish Honeystar had taught us how to swim before. He used to go swimming with his family and friends during Highsun almost every day." As she neared the edge of the Shallow end, she launched herself off and began lapping around the deep area.

Robinkit watched in concealed awe as Moonkit began swimming in the deep end like a warrior. She got the hang of it before I did! Well...at least she doesn't know that! He jumped in and began splashing water at her with his tail.
"Take that!" he yelled playfully

"Hey!" Moonkit mewed in surprise as she tried covering her eyes with her one paw. "Oh yeah? Well let's see how you like it." Going under water, she swam back to the shallow area. Placing her hind legs firmly on the bottom of the stream, she began flailing her front paws across the surface. Sending continuous splashes at Robinkit.

Riverkit poked Wolfkti. "Stop dawdling! You'll never learn to swim if you keep staring at Moonkit having fun!" She waded further into the water. "Peachkit is already getting the hang of it!" Peachkit was swimming strongly throught the water.

Woolfkit had been watching Moomkit, and how she seemed to be acting very friendly with Robinkit. Maybe too friendly. he thought. His suspicion and speculation was interrupted by Riverkit poking and nagging at him. "I don't have to swim if I don't want to you know." he replied back.
"Fine, have it your way then." called out Maplekit teasingly, "I'd like to see how you would handle Rowankit, if he took the next fight to the water."
After quickly thinking about that, Wolfkit realized how right his older brother was. "Alright, I'll go in." he said reluctantly as he began slowly wading into the stream.

Robinkit swam backwards quickly as Moonkit attacked him with the waves created by her paws. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Wolfkit staring at them intently.
What's wrong with him? Robinkit wondered but then turned back to playing with Moonkit.
He pulled himself out of the water than jumped into the deep end, sending waves crashing down on both of them.
"Ha! You look like a minnow, Moonkit!"

Moonkit mrrrowed loudly at Robinkit's remark, but also at the expression of Wolfkit's face as he stood there completely drenched. "Well if I look like a minnow," she replied . "Then Wolfkit looks like a drowned rat."

Riverkit snickered when she heard Moonkit's remark. "And he's going to get drowned again!" She yowled and shoved Wolfkit over into the stream. "Hey, Cranekit! Why don't you help me?" she called.

Icekit poked Cranekit. "Let's go!" He splashed across the stream and reared on his hind legs, slamming his paws down in the water. A sheet of water slammed into the Wolfkit's muzzle as Honeykit pulled him down from behind.

Rowankit stopped helping Maplekit learn how to swim and turned to watch Wolfkit get splashed around by Riverkit, Honeykit, Icekit, and Cranekit. "Do you want to join?" he asked.

Riverkit ducked underwater as Wolfkit came spluttering to his paws in the shallow stream. Twisting like a river snake in the stream, she hooked her paws around the grumpy grey kit's hind paws and tugged. With a yelp, Wolfkit crashed back into the water once more. "Great job, Riverkit!" Rowankit called. "Thanks! I watched Cedarpaw and Splashpaw practicing the move in the water a few days ago!"

"Hey this reminds me of a water game Honeystar told us about, that he used to play." said Maplekit recalled. "Cranekit do you remember what it was called? You know, where someone tries to catch everyone, and everyone works together to take down the one attacker?"
"I think it was called 'Croc Attack'." Cranekit answered. "Yeah let's play that game, and Wolfkit can be the crocodile then! But maybe we should tell the RiverClan kits how to play it first."

Riverkit bounced in excitement, sending drops of water spraying everywhere. "Yes! Teach us!" She raced up to Cranekit, her sleek fur shedding the extra weight of the water like duck feathers. "Come on, Icekit!" "Before you tell me to come..." Rowankit purred. "I'm going to get there before Icekit!"

Robinkit laughed happily as he ran and jumped around with everybody else. "Come on!" he called to Moonkit, "Let's see if Wolfkit can catch us with all that water weighing him down!"

Riverkit splashed Wolfkit playfully. "Come and catch us--- if you can!" she teased. She whipped around and ran for the bank.

Icekit shot forward and bowled Maplekit over. "Wolfkit's gonna catch you!" he warned. True enough, the big tom was splashing through the water, his eyes narrowed.

Icekit made a dive for it, just as Wolfkit was nearly a paw-swipe away from him!
"Mouse-dung." he muttered.

Riverkit stopped playing all of a sudden. "Out," she whispered. "Get out of the water!" her voice rose to a yowl. Icekit watched in horror has a huge splash came from a few fox-lenghts away.

Hearing Riverkit yowling to everyone to get out, Wolfkit turned around to see what appeared to be a large predatory fish swimming in the stream . It was now hiding in a weedy patch between the edge of the shallow end and the deep area. An ambush hunter! Wolfkit noted to himself. And he quickly realized what was the intended prey. Honeykit was still in the water, trying to reach for shore!
"Honeykit, swim away from the weeds!" Wolfkit yowled to his sister. "Quick, turn around, and head for that giant log over there!"

Robinkit watched in horror as Honeykit quickly swam towards the log, "REEDSHINE!!" he yelled looking around for the elder.

Riverkit lunged back in to the stream. 'Honeykit isn't going to make it!" she shrieked. As the massive pike slashed at Honeykit's leg, riverkit pounced, her teeth sinking into the fish's neck.

Icekit's tail poofed up like a bottlebrush. "I'm getting Echosong!" he yowled, and scrambled up the pebbly bank.

Rowankit froze. "Wolfkit! Come back! riverkit can--"

Wolfkit ignored Rowankit as he leapt into the water, right on top of the pike's back. Holding onto the fish with his teeth and hind claws, he began frantically raking his front claws along its eyes and gills. Being attacked from both below and above, the large fish released Honeykit's leg, and tried to shake-off Riverkit and Wolfkit.

"Go for it's neck!" Riverkit gasped. "I'll weigh it down so it can't swim off."

Blinking with his eyes to show he understood, Wolfkit stretched out his front claws under the pike's snapping jaws and began tearing at it's throat. Blood came gushing out mixing with both the stream water, and the blood coming out from Honeykit's injured leg. Still struggling, the large fish thrashed it's tail, which knocked Honeykit off the log and back into the stream!

"Rowankit!" Riverkit yowled, and battered at the fish's frail spine. "I know, I know!" Rowankit called, and splashed into the stream, dragging Honeykit away from the stream. Riverkit scrabbled at the fish, taring with her claws.

Robinkit watches in mute horror as Rowankit and Riverkit fought the pike off. When the pike finally gave up and tried to swim away with Riverkit on its back, is when Robinkit finally started moving again.
"We can't just let it get away! It'll come back again!" he yowled and launched himself at the fish to help Riverkit kill it.

~Actually, it was Wolfkit and Riverkit...... but okay~

"Stay back, Robinkit!" Riverkit growled. "Wolfkit and I won't let it escape! Go help Honeykit!"

(oops got a bit confused there. Sorry!)
"Okay!" Robinkit called and started swimming towards Honeykit. He realized that with Honeykit's injured leg they wouldn't be able to swim fast enough so he grabbed a stick from the bank and held it out to Honeykit. (Sorry I keep forgetting Honeykit's gender)
"Grab the stick with your teeth and while I swim it'll pull you with me!"
