Prompt;;

The lake was always a place of mystery for Cricket. There was fish, and fresh water to drink, but it wasn’t of interest to her. She never could stand to get her paws wet, anyway, and birds and ground squirrels fed her enough that she didn’t need to dip her paws in to fish.

Streak was a strange exception. Despite the rest of her clan avoiding the lake like it was poisonous, Streak sought out the water for splashing in. She called it a “bath”, a very foreign term, and Cricket didn’t try to think about it too much.

On a whim, Cricket decided to go for a walk by the lake, to see exactly why Streak liked it so much. As she looked into the water, she thought it wasn’t half bad. Ripples coursed across the lake, blending with each other when they touched. The lake was exceptionally clear, and she could see the orange-and-gray stone blending on the bottom, and the fish swimming above. Maybe, if she stretched, she could catch one close to shore—

Cricket screamed as a dark shape leapt out of the water at her. She was wet, her pelt was wet, she was being attacked! The water stung her eyes, and she squeezed them shut in pain.

“Oh, Cricket!” It was a familiar voice, and her attacker let her go. “I’m sorry, I was just trying to have a bit of fun with you.”

Cricket shook her head free of the water, and looked up. “Streak...?”

“I can swim very well, you know,” Streak explained. “There’s a small cavern with breathable air down there, and I saw the ripples you made when stretching out your paw into the water. I like to hide down there; but I can’t for very long.”

While looking through all the forms, the fact that this one mostly focused on scent interested me. Congrats!

"A kittypet can't be a good warrior!"

That was the cry that surrounded the entry of Diamondglint into the clan. Even after her month probation, cats still didn't think she'd do any good.

That changed when, one morning, they couldn't find her for dawn patrol.

It was pandemonium trying to find her. Although they'd tracked her scent to the creek by the herb garden, it seemed that she'd entered the creek and from there, no one could track her down.

There was a decision made - another cat would take her place on dawn patrol, and they'd send out a special patrol to go find her.

It took until about noon to find her.

Turns out that Diamondglint, despite her long fur and kittypet heritage , had absolutely no qualms about getting muddy or getting her fur tangled. She explained all this with a smug smile on her face when they dragged her out of the trees she'd been chilling out in that entire day.

"If you don't hide your scent," she said bluntly, "you can still be tracked. Mud is good at hiding scents, as is the creek. You just have to not be afraid to get dirty."

This later proved useful during a rogue attack. It seems that even former kittypets have excellent ideas every once in a while.
