    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawnpaw paced across the border of Sunclan not sure what to do with himself. He had been from clan to clan yet none of them seemed like a good fit. He would stay the night and leave the next morning without a trace. It would have been as if he was never there and it really was because no one remembered him. The dark-brown lab didn't have a huge presence when he didn't feel like he belonged. Now, when he was being himself, that was a completely different story. He was a huge flirt yet fairly sympathetic. Fawn always felt he had to make everyone feel included even if it meant getting a little battered up in the process. Why would he get battered up? Let's just say Fawnpaw could be a tad bit annoying at time. Of course, in the best way possible.


    "Is anybody here!" the dog called. Fawnpaw craved attention, so silence was a big no-no. There was nothing to do and the pacing was starting hurt his paws. Though, it was his own fault. Fawn had a knack for putting too much weight into this front paws. He might as well just tip over and fall straight on his face. Hey! It's happened before. The male could not stand it anymore and fell on his back hoping someone would come by soon and tell him where Sunclan was. As he contemplated life on that dirty musty ground he began to recite the tales that rhymed.


    "THE EAGLE
    He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
    Close to the sun in lonely lands,
    Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
    The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
    He watches from his mountain walls,
    And like a thunderbolt he falls."


    Yea...Fawn liked poetry and the poetry liked him.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawnpaw's dark blue eyes set themselves upon the newly approached clanners and he kind of started to freak out. The brown lab immediately rolled himself up on all fours with wide eyes and a shocked expression. Crap... Fawn thought not so fond of the fact that others had already heard him go all poetry-geist on them. Fawn began to frantically brush off the dirt that had stained his coat even though it blended right into it.


    "The names Fawnpaw! It's a pleasure to meet your aquaintance," he finished about to hold out his paw like two-legs did when greeting each other. Fawn put his paw up, but realized that that might label him a 'kitty-pet' well would it be 'doggy-pet' because he was a canine or just kitty-pet? Oh! It didn't matter because the paw was automatically put to the ground and pushed towards his other foot. What Fawn didn't anticipate was him overcorrectly the gesture and tripping himself. Fawn got up right after brushing himself off once more. Hopefully they'll just think I had a weird awkward leg spasm...yea so much better... Fawn sarcastically thought. This was already turning out just great. Rainbows and unicorns galore.


    "Sorry...that was just something an old friend taught me. I recite it sometimes when I'm bored. It's stupid..." The canine tried to explain. He might have been throwing poetry under the bus, but it owed him. "Do you know where I might find Sunclan?" Fawn finished just waiting for the distateful looks from the gathering group.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawn's face brightened, but only for a moment. He didn't want to seem too excited over a small comment. He still hadn't decided if this was the last stop yet on his long trip. Though, the pup decided it wouldn't kill him to show a bit of his appreciation to the clanner. Fawnpaw expressed a small smile to Harper trying to contain his relief over the fact that at least someone wouldn't totally reject him if he were to talk about his likes.


    "Pfew! What a relief I don't have to keep wandering around all over the place." Fawn chuckled. He continued to wag his tail, but not in the way most dogs do. Most canines wag their tails when they are excited or feel loved. Maybe Fawn did that in those situations as well, but he was more likely to be wagging his tail when he felt nervous or awkward rather then excited or admired. "So...I need a place to stay for a while. You think Sunclan would be a good fit?" the lab inquired.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawn had approached from the back of the group and wasn't really sure if it was his place to introduce himself. He was just a newbie in the clan and there was no surety that he would be staying. Was it a good fit for him or just another step to finding the perfect home? The answer was still a mystery. Fawnpaw didn't keep blue eyes off the polar bear. A poem came to mind that Fawn had heard long ago. He couldn't help, but recite it...in a mumbling tone.


    "Little Polar Bear
    Little polar bear
    White as the snow
    Sat on the ice
    Near the cold water's flow
    I am hungry, he said
    And made a wish
    Then stuck in his paw
    And pulled out a fish!"


    Yep, Fawnpaw had made up his mind. I think I will introduce myself and with that he made himself much more clear then a few minutes ago. He had practically appeared out of nowhere.


    "I'm Fawnpaw, but Fawn is easier to remember. It's a pleasure to come to your acquaintance Shiro," he smiled not even trying to hide his british accent.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]occ- gotta say I'm a huge fan of Talonflame! I had it all throughout my X-version and now on my Sun-version. Yea I'm a huge Pokemon geek and I'm proud of it. Welcome to Sunclan!


    icc- Fawnpaw was starting to get used to the surroundings of Sunclan. The smell of dew and the feeling of the sun on his fur. Because his coat was such a dark color, the sun was a bit harsher on him then others, but it wasn't a bad thing. In fact, Fawn loved the extra heat. It gave him chills in a good way. The pup had been to quite a few meet and greets and had come to realize he wasn't the only newcomer. It was a nice feeling not to be apart of some isolated group.


    "It's nice to come to your acquaintance. The names Fawnpaw, but you can just call me Fawn. Either name works," the british-accented canine welcomed. For once, his tail wasn't wagging meaning he wasn't frantically nervous.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fire! Fawnpaw screamed...inside his head. Not in like a creepy murderous way, but in a more excited innocent outburst. The chocolate colored lab loved the warmth you get from a good old fire and the way it feeds off the wood. The way it lives and breathes just like them. It was alive and would protect itself if dangered.


    "May I join?" he asked trying to contain his excitement and not yell creepy outburst like the one he had called out inside his head. Another poem had begun to set itself in his mind, thankfully, so the urge to scream, unintentional, murderous fire calls were suppressed.


    Fire And Ice
    Some say the world will end in fire,
    Some say in ice.
    From what I've tasted of desire
    I hold with those who favor fire.
    But if I had to perish twice,
    I think I know enough of hate
    To say that for destruction ice
    Is also great
    And would suffice.


    That was one of Fawn's favorites.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawnpaw just kept his gaze on the kid beside Andrew. He didn't really know anyone, so all there inside jokes did not resort any chuckling or urges to laugh from the lab. Fawn was a bit envious how close they all were, but he was a nomadic traveler. It was only natural that he felt that way. This was just the first time he actual began to notice such an emotion. Fawn's eyes went from Andrew then back to the smaller Andrew. They didn't look that much alike in his opinion, but who was he to judge. Fawn thought the pair looked cute together as father and son. Fawn gave a small smile to the kid hoping it would bring some comfort even if he wasn't as superior or adult-like as the rest of them.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]occ-- Dude that's amazing! I'm so jealous!


    icc-- Fawnpaw chuckled a bit at the sound and the words of the song. He didn't understand Japanese or anything that was sung in that song, but hey seeing how happy Ash was, was good enough. He began to think if he had ever been to Pallet Town, but it didn't ring any bells. Instead of moping over a little bit of unknown knowledge the pup smiled at Ash.


    "Ha ha! I didn't really understand any of it, but it had a really nice tune," Fawnpaw laughed as he scratched his head. Incompetence wasn't a regular thing for him, but he had to experience it occasionally. "They call me Fawnpaw, but Fawn if you wanna keep things short. It's nice to meet you," he smiled.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawn watched them all talking and socially a bit jealous he couldn't just go up and talk to his fellow Sunclanners. For once, this was not a feat he would just overcome. They were by water. WATER!!! Fawnpaw may have been one to get a little crazy and hyper over fire, but water was a completely different story. It terrified him even if his eyes shared a common color with the dark blue waves. I mean, it was bad enough to get his to bathe. He would bathe, but it was him, water, and a bunch of waterworks. Then Fawn would cry even more because of the waterworks which was water making physical contact with his coat. Yea, it was bad.


    "Lucky ducks..." Fawnpaw moped under his tree. He continued to stare off at the group and the terrifying water while he played with a few blades of grass. "Your my only friend," the canine exclaimed to the tree. He was having an episode and no poem or poetry was gonna get him out of this mood.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawnpaw was getting bored. Bored of not doing anything and not knowing what to do because he didn't really know anyone who lived in Sunclan. It was a terribly anxious feeling especially when he'd try to make conversation and fail miserably. All leading to a frantically wagging tail and dirty coat because he tripped in the process. This was not the time to feel bad for himself anymore. No, Fawn was ready to make some friends, fall in love, maybe rise in rank, or even touch some water! The possibilities were endless! Fawn had been to a few meet and greets today and he knew the drill. You say the three magical words and the clanners just come running...or walking. It's a figure of speech, okay. Fawn took in a deep breath and yelled.


    "MEET AND AND GREET!" His face turned bright red. One that was four words, Two a yelling british accented dog was kind of hilarious, and Three his masculinity must have been being judged with that extra squeak in his voice. It was the end.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]// aaaaaaah! fellow Hamilton lover!!! freaking out here


    Woah Fawn didn't expect so many clanners to come...especially because of his silly outburst. At least, none of them had taken note of it which put him at ease. He was getting extremely excited to see that there were so many nice faces in the crowd. His attention was first brought onto Magnus' pegleg. His eyes grew wide then returned to their regular size. That's so cool! the pup thought, but of course he wouldn't yell anything out. At least, he was trying extremely hard not to comment on someone's disability. Fawnpaw had no intentions on hurting a sunclan members feeling. Especially a red panda at that. He had seen a lot of animals, but never a red panda.


    "It's a pleasure to come to your acquaintance Magnus, Andines, Slaine, and Dreadwyrm! I'm called Fawnpaw, but you can call me Fawn." the dark brown pup responded with a smile that went from ear to ear. It was practically impossible to contain his happiness. Fawn giggled a bit at Slaine's entrance.


    "Don't apologize! You should have seen what I did at the sunclan border the other day. Oh yea classic," the pup reassured chuckling at the memory. Apologizing for being you was one of his pet peeves. Though, it wasn't like he should be the one giving out advice. "Hey do you guys know of any really fun things to do in Sunclan that aren't water related?"

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawn grinned widely. He didn't think anyone would really appreciate his poetry. Poetry made him HIM! He could hide behind unknown meanings and be the only one in the room with a real interpretation. It was Fawnpaw's way of acting out if he was having a bad day or wanted to pummel someone. Hurt people with words they didn't understand...though a good old stick thrown at the back of the head was a pretty effective device to release anger.


    "Ooh! Not only just campfire stories, but GHOST STORIES!" Fawn exclaimed already thinking of a few that he wouldn't mind telling. It was always a perfect day for a good old scary tale. Fawn's eyes widened. Where were his manners. He almost forgot to thank Ash and Talonflame.


    "Thanks Tal and Ash!" he smiled then realized that wasn't Talonflame's real name, "sorry Talonflame...you mind me calling you Tal or is that weird?" he asked feeling super guilty all of the sudden.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]The pup face brightened immediately. His tail began to wag and his ears perked up. His blue eyes had set themselves on Ash to show he was paying attention to him.


    "I GET IT NOW! That's a really nice song your mom taught you," Fawnpaw grinned. His face began to redden for getting overly-excited. The blushing went all the way to the tips of his ears, but Fawn pretended nothing bothered him. "Is there any other songs you remember from your mom?" the canine asked getting all curious about a whole world of music that he was not familiar to.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]He heard me say the poem...welp at least he liked it Fawn thought though it was no surprise considering his mumbling sounded more like regular talking and when he talked, most of the time, he was yelling because of overexcitement. It was a habit that Fawnpaw probably wouldn't be able to get rid of. His ears drooped down more then usual trying to shield his eyes from the blinding sun. It was a pretty sight, but not when it was scalding the thin layer of his dark blue eyes.


    "Why thank ya Shiro," he grinned bigger then usual. When it came to poetry, you could insult them in iambic pentameter and Fawnpaw would be filled with glee. Not to mention, extremely giddy. The pups attention then came onto Slaine. Shiro really means white bear? Dang that's wicked. I wonder what my name means in a different language Fawn began to ponder, but gave the notion up since he was too shy to ask.


    "What brings you to Sunclan?" Fawn inquired. He was beginning to become extremely curious. Maybe a bit too curious for comfort, but no one had called him out yet. This was a good sign...right?

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Regular uninterested sunclanners heard herb training. Fawnpaw heard opportunity. He had always wanted to perfect his skills in healing. He had been living off his own most of his life and he was bound to get injured. Fawn lived off the land and ended up learning what different flowers, plants, root, etc. did. Ha! There had been quite a few times where he had mistook foxglove seeds for poppy seeds. Oh! how he would whine and how his chest burned after taking to the mistaken herb, but he learned from those mistakes and putting that to the test with an actual master in herbs would be like a dream come true.


    "WAIT!" the pup yelled. He had come in a full run from the other side of the camp. He approached them all huffing from the exercise. Fawnpaw needed a little more exercise...awe well the pup could do that later. "Si....Sign....Sign me... Sign me up!" the canine huffed. Fawn gave himself a minute or two to recollect himself, take a deep breath then talk once more. "SIGN ME UP!" Fawn yelled. His set of blue eyes set themselves on the silverblood when he realized that wasn't the nicest way to say it. Fawnpaw grew red and his tail began to wag from his nervousness. The male corrected himself immediately in the presence of the Silverblood,"....please."

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawnpaw decided to sit this one out. He approached the group as anyone would, but decided to stay in the back of the crowd. He wasn't feeling so hot that day, but still wanted to learn of new members in Sunclan even though he was a bit of a newbie himself. Ruben, huh...that's a cool name. Hopefully I'll remember that. the pup explained to himself. Fawn began to play with the dirt with his mismatched fur-colored paws until one of the sunclanners had moved a bit so he could see what this Ruben looked like. Fawn's blue eyes were drawn to scruffy fur more along the collar. He was a bit jealous. Fawnpaw had always like the look of scruffy fur. His coat wasn't very thick, but instead really dark to draw the heat towards him. The canine gave a small smile to Ruben hoping it seemed welcoming.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawn began to chuckle a bit at Isabelle's first comment. He couldn't contain his laughter or the sarcasm that was about to come. Being British must have also meant you were extremely sarcastic which was what Fawnpaw's main traits came from...his sarcasm. The canine was I pretty high spirits to considering that for once there was a language that he understood. Spanish was his second language and he was quite fluent...though Fawn was still deciding whether or not to show off a bit.

    "Ha ha! I don't like to be eaten either. What a small world,"
    Fawn chuckled, "it's nice to meet you Isabelle. My names Fawnpaw. I don't have as many nicknames, but I'm often referred to as Fawn. If you come up with something else, I'm totally cool with it. As long as it's ridiculously cool like phoenix knight or the red ranger or even the black soldier! I have a list!" The pup was already getting overly excited. So much for being composed for the nest meet and greet.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Dude that sucks I'm sorry. School really is killer. I didn't stay up that long, but I came pretty close. 3 AM WHOO! Running on sole adrenaline and some rootbeer poptarts.


    p.s. anyone up for a plot with Fawn?

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 390px; text-align: justify;][size=8][font=trebuchet ms][color=black]Fawn wanted to join in. Sure he wasn't big on the whole prey-killing thing, but it is nature. Eat or be eaten as his companion would say...until he was killed by a mountain lion. Ugh...don't remind me brain Fawnpaw muttered under his breath and ran up to the group. Was he supposed to proclaim that he was joining up with them or just go and start hunting for the clan. Whatever it was everyone was pretty much ready to go and some of them probably already had. The pup gave up and ran into the forest with the leaders instructions ringing in his ears.
