"Aphro! We've been walkin' for hours. My legs are as heavy as boulders and I'm starving. How much further are we goin' to walk? Can't we take a break for just a few minutes to hunt and rest a little?" Groaned the sleek blue tabby as she climbed over a fallen log, flopping backwards with he back against the trunk. Her vivid orange eyes were narrowed and tired of traveling. Her legs were aching and her stomach was growling. "Where are we even going? You do know where we're going, right? You haven't forced me to walk for days for nothing, right?" Questioned the she-cat, twitching her nose. She had no idea where they were headed, and by her sister's answer, she wasn't quite sure either.
"Strider, girl, just... relax," Replied a pretty white she-cat, "Stop worrying so much about the destination. It's all about the journey. We'll go wherever the wind takes us. If we believe in loooove, we'll end up somewhere safe and peaceful–with catnip." Aphrodite slid up onto a tree for a few moments, then returned to her sister's side with two sparrows. Tossing one in Strider's direction, Aprhodite licked her lips. "Thank these tasty bird-friends for letting us eat them, or, like, their family will hunt us down and kill us in our sleep."
"You don't even know?!" Hissed Strider, now furious after Aphrodite admitted she didn't know where they were going. "That's kind of important, you bird-brain! Sometimes I wonder how you'd survive alone, seriously." Snorting and shaking her head, she momentarily forgave her when the white cat brought back something to eat. The boyish she-cat tucked in, resting for a few minutes after wards, before they set off again.
"Chill, sis. You've got a bad case of destination fever. You worry to much, just relax and, like, hang loose. Oh, look–" Aphrodite's ears flicked upward as she stared ahead, at the edge of the forest they were traveling through. In the distance she saw a sea of green, and Strider saw it too. "Looks like we're here."
Strider stopped in her paw-steps. Her ears flattened against her head and a brief growl erupted from her throat. "So, we traveled for days, risking our lives... to get to a field? A field. A field?!" She spat, digging her claws into the dirt. "What's wrong with you? You're one of the stupidest cats I've ever known!"
"It's, like, a green ocean. It looks soft and fluffy," Aphrodite paused, ignoring Strider, "... Fluff."
"A field!" Strider shouted angrily. "A stinkin', giant field! What's so special about it?"
"I heard some friends talking about a sea of green faraway from da Nofurs and Clancats. Friends of theirs have been there, and there was a giant patch of catnip!"
"You dragged me along for days... for catnip?! That's even worse! I should claw your ears off!"
"Steady, girl. Violence and anger don't solve nothing. There's nothing to be mad about. The journey was, like, cool."
"No, it was not."
"Oh, hey. Look, Stridester. Furry friend dudes," Aphrodite mewed and flicked her tail in the direction of cats in the distance.
"Great. Let's hope they don't try to kill us for trespassing on their territory!" Strider snarled, "What are you gonna say? 'Hey, can I have some nip? It, like, makes me feel like I'm floatin' on a soft, fluffy cloud, furry friend dudes.'"
"Whoa. That was, like, what I was going ta say!"
