» @WarriorsWOF4LYFE3 for Bubblepaw! ♛ » @-pancakez { myself } for Loudpaw! ♛ --- This is another "non-canon" ship. --- Loudpaw trotted briskly through the marshy pine-groves that her clan called "territory," a spring in her step as her paws lead her towards Frog Marsh, which also happened to be near the Thunderclan-Shadowclan border. Bubblepaw was chasing a butterfly, trying to catch it. He had wanted its wings for his collection- and due to his jumping about, he was making quite a bit of noise. Loudpaw swiveled her head around, hearing someone crashing through the undergrowth like a disturbed she-badger. She tilted her head, slightly confused, until she picked up a familiar scent, and let out an amused purr. ``Bubblepaw? Is that you?`` Yowl asked, flicking her tail as she walked towards her friend. The tom had leaped for the butterfly as she spoke, and crashed into a tree when he turned his head to look at her mid-air. After falling, he sprang back up, with the butterfly in his claw. "Ah- yup! That's my name!" He chirped, rubbing his muzzle with a paw. "Hey, Loudpaw!" The tom greeted. Yowl purred, bounding over to her fluffy-friend before she began gazing at the butterfly wing, completely distracted. ``Ooh, that's really cool!`` Loudpaw mewed in astonishment, laying flat on her stomach so that she was eye-level with the peculiar, multi-colored wing. He lifted up the butterfly, nodding. "Yeah! I collect butterfly wings, and this is one I had yet to see before! So I just had to catch it!" He purred. "Do you like collecting stuff? A bunch of my clanmates do!" She nodded eagerly, sitting up so that she was now eye-level with Bubblepaw. ``Sometimes I like to collect small, slimy-green-hoppers, or nettles--but, we don't have a lot of interesting things to collect, in all honesty. No butterflies, no feathers, no shells like the Riverclan cats have--`` Loudpaw replied, huffing. ``I wish I had something pretty I could collect as you do..`` She mewed wistfully, fluffing out her pelt. Bubblepaw's nose twitched as he thought. "Flowers? Plants? Does ShadowClan have any of those? Or what about other cool bugs? My brother collected...some kind of bug...I can't remember what. I think my sister knows..." He sighed, and looked down at his paws. The butterfly was dead now. "Well...I guess in the meantime, as you look for prettier things to add...you can take one of these wings!" Loudpaw paused, a smile slowly forming on her maw. ``Really? You honest-to-Starclan mean I could keep one of those butterfly-wings?`` She breathed, gazing at Bubblepaw imploringly. ``And, yes, I think we have some plants and bugs... but they aren't as pretty as you're imagining. And, flowers? Rare.`` The apprentice sighed. He nodded sincerely. "Yes. I mean it." He replied, shaking the bug off of his claw, and nudging it towards Loudpaw. "And I'm sure there's some pretty bugs and flowers! Maybe you aren't looking in the right place. And if there's something you want to collect- I can always help out by giving you some ThunderClan variants! After all, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't help you out with that?" Loudpaw purred loudly, rubbing herself against Bubblepaw in complete gratitude. ``Thanks!`` She replied, curling her claws carefully around one of the small butterfly-wings. The apprentice mentally decided that she would have to show Skippaw her finding later. ``Maybe there are, and it would be awesome if we could collect stuff together! I could try to find you some Shadowclan variants, and you could do the same with interesting things found in Thunderclan!``... --- And that's the second time they met <3 ---
