((Haha xDD And I know, Happy, all the Clans' territories are confusing to me...I hate describing them, lol.))
Marshpaw slipped under again, feeling like a fish, gliding confidently and easily through the water. Real fish bumped against him, and he tried to claw at one, but it was no use. They were in their natural element, and they had the upperhand. They could swim lightning fast, faster than any LagoonClan cat, although they were excellent swimmers.

Willowstride took one last dip in the water, feeling solid ground under her paws. "Come one, we're here," she mewed to the two apprentices. For a moment her paws paddled through the water; soon enough the land sloped enough upwards for her to walk. Her paws sank into wet sand as she padded up to the beach, shaking her pelt like a dog to get rid of excess water. She could already see the other four islands; any of them were good for fishing, really.
((Yea.. But Rin Tin Tin REALLY makes me laugh XDD))

ooc: I'm going to make Forestwind travel around the territory. Can one of you guys spot him and call out to him? I'm confused with the territories.

Shiverstar lay sprawled out in the shade under the canopy of the camp's overhanging willow tree. His eyes were shut and his tail twitched in rhythm to his dreams. The sun crept through the spaces in the leaves and reflected towards his eyes. He squinted and opened his eyes. Without lifting his head he looked around, and sighed. He sat up with a big yawn that seemed to last a lifetime.

((Haha, I know, Rin Tin Tin is a funny one xD))
Marshpaw had just surfaced for air when he heard Willowstride speak. He couldn't feel the ground with his paws yet, because her legs were longer than his. But with a couple of strides through the water, he finally touched the ground. He padded out, shaking himself like Willowstride. He'd heard of cats that absolutely hated the water, and he couldn't imagine why. Sure, his fur took a while to dry, but he was usually back in the water before it could fully dry, anyways. He loved swimming, like all of the LagoonClan cats, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
Sitting down on the sandy bank, he waited for Willowpaw to rub in her face that he'd won the 'race'. He couldn't wait to go fishing, to stretch his claws and fill his belly...well, that is, after he'd fed the Clan, anyway...

Willowpaw poked just her eyes and nose out of the water like an alligator so she wouldn't be seen. Seeing that Marshpaw had won their 'race', she had to find a way to avoid complete faliure. She had an idea. Taking a deep breath, she ducked back under, and began to proppell her self into the depths of the lagoon. Of course fishing was easier on shore, but if Willowpaw came back with a fish before Marshpaw had even noticed her yet... that would even the score. And plus, the biggest fish basked in the dark bottom of the lagoon, which was covered with rotting branches and moss-like alge. She imagined that Timberclan would look like that if it ever were to flood. She quickly scanned the many grottos of darkness untill a flicker of movement caught her eye. She knew she wouln't have long now before she ran out of breath, so she darted forward instantly, unsheathing her claws as she went.
Willowpaw hadn't been an apprentice for very long, so she was yet to expiriance a shark encounter, and didn't know from firts-hand expiriance to be precautious. Of course Willowstride had warned her, but you know how young cats are - 'it'll never happen to me'.
As she cut through the water, the flicker of movement she had seen turned into quite the fish. She saw only part of it's fin now - long and dull, it's skin had the look of sand paper. 'how peculiar', was the fleeing thought that went through her mind as she sped toward it. And then it came out from under the overhang of branches it had been residing under - and later, Willowpaw would not be able to thank starclan ebough that it was heading the opasite direction from her. For it was long and greyish, a fang of a fin shooting out of it's back. It's eyes were dark and cruel as it sawm slowly in a rythmic sawying motion. For less than a second she wondered what it was, but it wasn't long before the terrifying thought gnawed it's way into her mind: Shark. Willowpaw was startinng to feel slight pangs in her lungs, paired with the fact that ever fur on her body was urging her to dart away. But she forced her self to be still. The shark's slowness was painsaking, but also hopeful as it moved farther from her. It must not have noticed her, or it wasn't hungry. Either way was incredibly lucky.
By now Willowpaw's lungs were grasping for air. It was all she could do to force her self to be still just a little longer, untill finally she felt the shark was no longer a danger. She was nearly to the [point of convulsing as she kicked with all her might ont one of the rotting logs, sending her darting uopwards faster than she could hope to swim. As soon as she felt the sting of air she gasped, filling her lungs with air. Her breathing was abnormally heavy as she eyed the shore.She took a few moments to catch her breath untill it was at a speed of quicness that might not worry someone that she was about to die, and began to paddle back to shore. As she paddled she bacame quicker and quicker, worried that at any moment a sharp pair of teeth would pull her under. And she got to shore, her eyes red, panting like a dog. She didn't bother looking up at Marshpaw and Willowstride just yet - let them attempt to guess what happened while she attempted to breathe.
(Yeah, I'd assume like not even the cats of the clan could remember the names of all the islands... but its a BIT less confusing than saying 'that one small island over there thats not the other million small islands...' XD)

Willowstride had begun to lick her fur flat; it had poofed up when she had shaken herself, almost like a furball. For a moment her mind was just on grooming her fur, but another sound was caught in her ears: it sounded as if an animal, mostly a cat, was splashing, then she heard panting. Willowpaw. The warrior hadn't seen her go up on shore; the young apprentice probably had gone underwater to go fishing. Willowstride sharply turned her head to the direction of the noise, seeing her apprentice starting to swim to the shore. Her eyes were bloodshot and held fear in them; had she seen a shark? Even if she had, Willowstride knew that she wasn't hurt due to the fact that there wasn't any serious splashing. After she analyzed Willowpaw she rushed to her, stopping a few heartbeats later, now in front of the apprentice. "What did you do?" she demanded scornfully, despite the fact that she had already guessed what Willowpaw was doing under the water, and instantly began to lick the shocked apprentice's head.

"Willowstride!" Willowpaw gasped after a moment. "I saw a shark!" She snapped her head up when she said this, and did so as if it were the most outrageous thing in the world. Somehow she felt as if she were still in danger, and Willowstride's licking gave her little comfort.

Willowstride gently placed the tip of her tail on Willowpaw's shoulder, trying to tell her to calm down. "But you're not hurt, are you?" the warrior mewed, still licking her apprentice comfortingly. "Sharks won't hurt you if you don't bother them, so don't worry," This was partly untrue; a shark would probably attack a young apprentice if it was hungry, but the shark Willowpaw encountered seemed.. Not hungry, I guess. The shark that Willowstride encountered before.. WAS hungry. "But still, it was fish-brained to go into the water like that by yourself, Willowpaw," she scolded, staring at her apprentice harshly.

Marshpaw stumbled backwards as Willowpaw appeared out of the water, gasping and panting heavily, her eyes pink and bloodshot. He hurried up to his friend alongside Willowstride. When he heard the word shark, he froze, his eyes wide.
"You saw a shark?" he gasped, amazed. He quickly gazed around at her, to see if she was injured. "Did it swim after you? Where was it?" He paused, wondering how a shark could've come so close to the surface. "How deep were you?" he asked, finally.

Willowstride, this time, flicked her tail lightly across Marshpaw to tell him to calm down, turning away from the two apprentices. "It's a good thing you didn't get hurt, Willowpaw," she mewed, padding a few steps before looking back at them with her green eyes. "And just to let you know, sharks can tend to go to the shallower water when it's warm. It helps soothe them," Hearing Marshpaw's excitement when he blurted out the questions, she decided to let Willowpaw answer anything.. That is, if she wanted to. "Willowpaw, do you want to take some rest before we start to hunt?" the warrior asked her apprentice, sitting down. She resumed to what she was doing before; grooming herself, waiting for an answer from her apprentice.
