#### First Day Training!

The next day **BrightFire** startles BloodSnout sneaking behind him and wearing a jackalope on her head. BloodSnout becomes very annoyed and asks her why she's not in training. **BrightFire** tells him she ditched it surprising BloodSnout who tells her she can't ditch as training is important. She asks him if he meet the new kit Nokue yet but he says that he hasn't but noticed something off with him last night and they should keep an eye on him. **BrightFire** tells him not to worry and smile listing off a bunch of simple things in life to smile for further annoying BloodSnout.

#### Remembrance

Two weeks later, **BrightFire** leaves the elders den and notices BloodSnout walking away from his brothers SunBone and IronRunner. After being asked if he could show them hunting crouches BloodSnout snaps at them until **BrightFire** steps between them. She offers to show the kits instead as **BrightFire** shows them a completely incorrect position for hunting crouches but the boys are too naïve to realize it laughing as they press their heads to the ground and behinds upwards in the air. After they leave to show their mother, **BrightFire** tries to ask BloodSnout to be nicer to them as BloodSnout gets grumpy saying he didn't ask for the family, **BrightFire** cheerfully talks about what she would do with a family and how she used to keep her parents up all night. BloodSnout tells her he wants to hunt but **BrightFire** tells him about this idea she has of using the river when it's frozen to preserve their food during the wintertime. BloodSnout smiles liking the idea as **BrightFire** gets incredibly close to his face making him flustered. She suggests he smile more as he's more handsome when he does it. **BrightFire** coughs in total embarrassment and tries to cover up what she just said but just makes herself look more silly. **BrightFire** senses something off and when BloodSnout tries to talk to her, she tells him to be quiet which annoys him as he's the one who always tells her that. She looks past a bush seeing Skulks, BloodSnout gets scared asking what the Skulks are doing here? Minutes later when Nokue is running from the Skulks he notices **BrightFire**, LashGrowl and the apprentices fighting Skulks. SwiftFang and RedHeart get more guardians from the Firefly Tribe and they chase the Skulks away from their territory.

#### Who You Are Now

During the commotion in the Firefly Tribe **BrightFire** starts randomly yelling for no reason as BloodSnout gets annoyed telling her she's not helping. BloodSnout later tells the Chief of her plan to preserve their food for the winter and SunStrider says he will be pleased to hear her idea.

#### The Hidden Snake

The next day **BrightFire** spooks Nokue from a bush making him scream. She laughs finding it funny. **BrightFire** stares and introduces herself to a butterfly before getting more excited when she sees a ladybug. BloodSnout asks for her and she goes to talk to the two tods. She asks Nokue what he's doing with BloodyDuddy referring to BloodSnout. BloodSnout tells her that Nokue wants to learn how to fight like a guardian and she agrees to train him. When Nokue shows her his hunting crouch she corrects him saying that position only works for spying or sneaking not confrontation. He then tries again but she pokes him over and over again greatly annoying him. She suggests that he build up some muscle first. **BrightFire** then asks Nokue to move a boulder for her as Nokue looks on in fear. Hours later we see **BrightFire** coming back with BloodSnout and Nokue as they hear that SunStrider is hurt. She mentions how she was only gone for two hours and the entire tribe is falling apart. Later that day at nighttime she sits besides BloodSnout as they and the rest of the tribe wait for an update from WitherRunner on SunStrider's condition. She is happy to hear that SunStrider is stable and alive. When HookScale asks for two Guardians to help him watch the new tod RipFur, it is presumed that **BrightFire** volunteers to help the Vice-Chief take shifts and watch him for the night.
