Prompt:

“you always were a lazy apprentice, but i didn’t know you’d go this far!” cherrystar sighed, exasperated with applepaw. she watched as the small she-cat gathered sticks together, and began placing them in an odd, unnatural formation.

“no, cherrystar, just wait! you’ll understand when you see how it works!” she replied excitedly, her tail swishing back and forth as she bounded around the forest floor, pushing and shoving the sticks into shape with her paws.
they began to form into an odd, box-like shape. “one..more thing,” applepaw muttered, obviously too concentrated on this strange contraption to form a coherent sentence.

the apprentice disappeared into the undergrowth once more, cherrystar rolled her eyes. “young cats, these days…” she grumbled, impatiently waiting for applepaw to return, which she did, with a wide, flat piece of bark in her jaws.
“almost done?” cherrystar uttered, slight annoyance in her tone. she loved her apprentice, she really did, applepaw was almost like a daughter to her. even so, she is a handful!

after a series of intense huffs and puffs from applepaw, she stepped away, looked at cherrystar, and opened her mouth. “ta-daaaa!” she mewed in a sing-songy voice.

“and what… is this?” applepaw’s mentor asked, standing up and getting a closer look at the strange pile of sticks before her.
“shh! shh.. follow me, just watch, you’ll see!” she nudged cherrystar behind a bush after grabbing a rope made up of various plant stems and sticks woven together.
cherrystar was… confused, that’s for sure. she was dozing off, waiting for something to happen. sitting in silence and staring at a pile of sticks wasn’t the most entertaining past-time.

a yowl from applepaw jolted the elder she-cat away from her thoughts, jumping to her paws. “wha-?!” she yelped, looking around frantically.
“look, cherrystar! look what i did, it worked!” the young cat cried enthusiastically.

the two cats padded forward, a confused look on cherrystar’s face and an excited one on applepaw’s.”what worked, applepaw?” she said, narrowing her eyes at the apprentice, preparing to scold her for this waste of time.

applepaw stuck her tongue out at cherrystar, a smug look on her face. she motioned with her paw towards the pile of sticks she built earlier, “watch this!” she instructed before padding towards it. she outstretched one paw, reaching into the pile. after a few moments, cherrystar heard a squeal of surprise and out came a mouse! a… dead mouse? before she could ask applepaw, the apprentice began explaining. “you see! a trap. you lure the prey into it, and it gets stuck, and then you can catch it! no stalking needed!” she nudged cherrystar’s shoulder.

“very… innovative.” she praised, still confused. though this was a clever idea, it was much too big of a waste of time to be any use in real hunting. she would let applepaw take pleasure in her strange ideas, though.

Prompt: Fallow the animals, they have more knowledge of the land then us. A small group of strangers looking for a home. This was softpaw’s idea. Lilacstar didn’t understand it but after much arguing and whining she agreed to try it. She and softpaw set out through the long grass and tall flowers. As they walked softpaw explain how she had found a amazing berry patch by fallowing a flock of birds. Lilacstar frowned and continued trudging through the grass. Was it really true that prey could find herbs? Dangers like foxes find food? She wasn’t sure if this would work but as she watched softpaw pounce along chirping about her discovery. Her heart softened, it hadn’t been so long since she had been this excited with her starclan blessed mission.

Prompt:

It's not so much a life hack as a motto. Don't fall in love, and no one can break your heart. Wrenpaw, as a kit, was a loner, named wren. She had two brothers and a sister and a mom and dad. A normal life. But her father grew angry, suspicious of her mother of not loving him, of wanting to be with another tom. He left them, and later, was killed by a monster on the thunderpath. Her mother, blamed her and her siblings for driving her father away, and left them as kits to die. Her brothers who were stronger ran away when they were found by a hungry dog, but her sister was killed. She learned a hard lesson, that betrayal was everywhere. That those who you let into your heart, broke it, and she was alone. She lived with this mindset for nearly a year and a half, before she was found by a patrol. They took her in, but she was still cold and distant. Somehow, though, a tom found his way through her defences and into her heart. She felt so angry at herself for simply setting herself up for another heartbreak, but, as she grew to know him, she had a feeling he wouldn't leave her...
