Sea's P.O.V
Moon padded over to me. "Sea. I'm bored." She moaned, lying down on me. I fell over with a flop. "Moon! I know you're bored and I know you're tired! But we have to keep going." I replied, pushing her off. "Okayyyy." Moon moaned and padded beside me. "Say, why do you have such a peculiar name?" She asked, tilting her head. "I don't know. But I guess my parents just thought I looked like the ocean. You're name isn't that peculiar. Aren't you lucky! Your parents must've thought you looked like the moon on a dark night." Moon pushed me over and I stood up, smiling. I leapt at her, pinning her down. She lurched and pushed me off as if she was a lion. I ran at her and slid below her, hooking her legs from underneath her. I immediately jumped up and landed on her, squishing her flat. "I GIVE UP!" She cried, laughing. "You win! YOU WIN!" She chocked. I got off her, grinning. "After all I taught you, you still can't beat me?"
"Duh!" Moon said, shaking her tail. We padded onward, the stars starting to creep into the sky. "Where do we sleep?" Moon asked, brushing her pelt with mine. "I dunno. But we won't sleep yet. Just walk a little longer and then we'll rest."
"THANK YOU!" She moaned. "I feel as if my paws will drop off!"
"No, you don't."
"Fine. Thats true." A twig snapped somewhere and I perked my ears up. "Hear that?" Moon whispered. "Yes," I whispered back. Creeping forward, I pushed through the brambles with Moon by my side. Then I felt a cold stone on my paws. I drew a confused look from Moon as she felt the stone as well. "Stone?" Parting the bushes very carefully, I walked through, making sure not to make a rustling sound. Then my eyes widened as I saw a pool, crystal clear and bright. I felt a magnetic feeling, pulling me toward it. I padded forward. "Sea! No! It might be a trap or something!" Moon whispered. "Sh-sh-shushsh!" I answered. "Come here! Quietly." I whispered. Moon came forward with me. "Why does the water look like that?"
"I don't know! Shush for a minute. I need to figure something out." I looked into the clear water, seeing my reflection perfectly. "This looks like perfect water to drink. I haven't had any water for moons!"
"Yeah right," Moon replied, rolling her eyes and lying down to lick at the water. I took a lick of the water and found that it was nice and cold. I shivered. It was the best water I had in quite a while. I stood up. "We can sleep here for the night- Moon?" I stood up. Moon was gone. "MOOOOON!" I called. "Stop. She's not here." A voice whispered behind me. I turned and gasped, stepping over my paws. A spotted cat was standing peacefully behind me. She looked unreal and her pelt shone like the stars. "Hello Sea. I'm Spottedleaf." I looked at her. "Spottedleaf?" I echoed. The cat nodded. I narrowed my eyes. "Why do you seem familiar?"
"Because I am." I stared at her for a while. "H-How do you know my name?" I asked. She paused. The sun started to filter through the leaves and she looked around. "It's time for you to get home."
"Home? I don't have one."
"Yes, you do. Follow me." Spottedleaf bounded away into the forest and I quickly followed. "Wait! Where are you taking me?" I asked. She didn't turn to answer. After a while, she stopped. Looking up into the sun, she sighed. "You will meet you're escort home soon." Then she disappeared! Suddenly I awoke next to the pool and Moon was staring at me. "Was it just me or did you see another cat telling you to go somewhere?"
"Come on," I said getting up. "I had the same dream. Let's go to where she took us. Apparently, we're coming home." Moon laughed excitedly and raced off toward where we went in our dreams. We stopped at the same place and looked around. The sun was shining brightly now. "I wonder where our Escort will be?" Said Moon, clawing the ground nervously. Suddenly, I heard the sound of paws padding toward us. Then there was a harsh whisper. "Stop!" The ferns in front of us rustled and Moon and I shivered. We darted under some brambles in fright.
