A Fox's Journey Super Edition: Polar Blaze and Thunder Storm's Turmoil

Chapter Three: Polar's Punishment

As Polar, Rip Tide, and Nettle Herb walked through the forest to get back to the camp Polar began to wonder, What kind of a punishment will Fiery Claw give me for being out of the camp? I didn't smell or see our boundary lines, so how was I supposed to know that was WaterfallRange territory?

"Hey, Rip Tide I need to tell you something. I shouldn't be getting a punishment because I didn't smell the boundaries, and so how was I supposed to know that I had gone out of our territory or that I had even left the camp," Polar whispered to Rip Tide who understood what she was trying to say completely.

"Okay, that does sound reasonable to me. I will talk to Nettle Herb and see if for your punishment we can have you do stuff for us in the Healer's den," Rip Tide told Polar who still was whimpering in fear.

"Nettle Herb, can I talk to for a minute? It's about Polar I don't think that she deserves a big punishment. I was thinking I think we should persuade Fiery Claw to let us have her do some jobs for us in the Healer's den," Rip Tide told Nettle Herb who nodded slowly.

"Yes, Rip Tide you are right we should try and do that for Polar. She is still a very young pup and I am sure she didn't mean to go out of the camp," Nettle Herb said calmly to Rip Tide who nodded that he was right and then glanced back at Polar who was trailing them.

"Polar, are you okay? Please come here," Rip Tide called to Polar who didn't catch up, but instead looked down at her paws as she still was whimpering out in fear. Rip Tide noticed this and gave the pup a sympathetic look to soothe her.

"Nettle Herb, I think Polar is scared I am going to slow down and see if I can ease her worriedness. After all I really hope that we can make Fiery Claw less angry with her, she is just a little pup," Rip Tide told Nettle Herb as she slowed down to walk with Polar who merely looked up at her for a second before looking back down at her paws again.

"What do you want now Rip Tide?" Polar mumbled as she started to try and lag behind Rip Tide who wouldn't allow it.

"Polar, I don't want anything with you except to find out what is wrong. You don't have to worry about being in too much trouble after all you are still a little pup," Rip Tide told Polar, but Polar was holding a grudge up against her.

"Rip Tide! I am sorry, but you can't fix everything. It is impossible for any fox to do that, even a healer! So stop trying to make me feel better because it won't, so just quit! If you had never put your nose where it didn't belong in the first place I wouldn't have been in this mess and I wouldn't be getting in trouble! And don't even think of trying to apologize or make this better you won't. Because nothing you can do will make me want to like you ever again!" Polar shouted at Rip Tide who looked shocked at what Polar had said to her and then hurt.

"It's time to shut up. If I wanted your opinion all of the time I would have been your mate," Rip Tide growled.

"But we're related and we're the same gender!"

"In case you didn't catch the look I just gave you, shut up. And I know I'm not gay or allowed to have a mate."

"Rip Tide, what I don't understand is how you can be so mean to a little pup let alone your own half sibling."

"Okay, Okay that is enough you two. We are all going back to the camp and no more fighting," Nettle Herb said calmly as he cut into their conversation.

"Never!" Polar and Rip Tide shouted at Nettle Herb in unison.

"Okay! I am so not getting involved in this fight! You two are crazy!"

"Fine! Nettle Herb you have made your choice now stand down!"

"Yeah! Stand down like Rip Tide said too!"

"Oh shut up Polar! You don't know anything and that includes how to come up with your own things to say!"

"Hey! I can too come up with my own things to say you just never hear them because you're too deaf to hear anything except for your own voice!"

"If that would be so then why am I about to say this? If you're like a polar wind then where is your bite the only fox I see crying is you here tonight!"

"Crying who said I was crying after all you are deaf, which means that you can't hear me crying! Plus it just makes you look even dumber because you might as well be blind too because if you could see me you would see no tears from me!"

"You are so annoying."

"How would you even know what annoying is? Here is what I know I may not speak babyish as well as you do, but I will try to come down to the level that you are. SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK."

"Youch," Rip Tide pawed her sister. "You are feisty."

"Yeah, I may be feisty, but at least I have brains unlike you because even a squirrel could outsmart you!" Polar said to Rip Tide as they walked into the camp.
