A thick mist consumed the open StoneClan territory, causing the ground underfoot to remain an uncomfortable, damp and muddy trip. The cold caused the black and white apprentice to shiver, and the layer of sloppy earth that coated his paws only displeased him more. Yet, Badgerpaw had sucked up and kept his complaints to himself; after all, the apprentices were almost done collecting moss for the elders.

As Badgerpaw arrived at the Moss clearing, he couldn't help but notice that the usually wet territory was practically a lake of its own. "What, are we RainClan now?" the tom scoffed, though not to any other cat in particular. Grimacing, Badgerpaw stepped into the shallow water and began padding towards the one clump of moss that didn't seem to be thoroughly soaked.

Usually, collecting moss would have been the more preferable of all the apprentices' tasks, but on a soggy leaf-bare day, the chore was a hellish activity. Badgerpaw was thankful that it was almost over. As he collected a chunk of moss, the tom spotted his sister, Cricketpaw, not far away with another she-cat and splashed across the ground towards her. Perhaps they could walk together for a bit.
