'Tansypaw, the greatest apprentice that ever lived! Magnificent hunter, fearsome fighter...' "And nest tender extraordinaire!" she grumbled to herself, gathering the bits of stale moss from the nursery bedding. She knew she shouldn't complain. She was serving her Clan, which was what she always wanted. It didn't matter if she was bored with doing chores or cleaning out moss. She wanted to help, and so she was.
And besides, this was a good way to practice! Because of her small size, she knew that she'd have problems carrying prey or fighting in the future. By making the moss balls as big as she could, she was learning how to move them without losing any bit of bedding.
The moss ball in front of her was twice as big as her head, an extraordinary feat to be sure! Tansypaw was trying to roll it out of the nurser entrance without any of the bits and pieces falling out. Each time one did, she'd roll the ball back to it's starting point and fixed it.

Skyfire watched from a distance as the apprentice did her work. She padded after Tansypaw and asked, "Do you need any help with this?" She looked at the pile in her mouth and added, "If that gets any bigger it just might weigh you down." She padded next to the apprentice waiting for an answer and just watched her struggle a bit.

Tansypaw was quite proud to say that she'd heard Skyfire approaching before her voice spoke from over the ball of moss. Her tail lashed in the air behind her at the offer for help, and Tansypaw backed up from the mossball and crouched, keeping her eyes on it. "I can manage. Don't think just because I'm a midget that I can't do the most menial of tasks!"
She charged at the mossball and hit is with her head, growling out loud when it only budged a little bit. The cream-colored she-cat repeated this process a total of three times. The final time, the moss-ball finally popped free of the nursery entrance. "Ha, victory!" Tansypaw crowed, following after. "I, Tansypaw, have conquered the dreaded ball of moss! Take that, everyone who thought I was too small to be an apprentice!"
Tansypaw conveniently forgot that she had to take the ginormous mossball out of the camp and had to bring more in.
