((Okay, so reading old characters I've made I've discovered Nimble has three siblings: Steadfast, Quickstorm, and Pounce. They don't belong left as rogues, so I've decided to seperate them into the other clans.))
Would a steady approach be applicable? No of course not. His name was Steadfast. Since when has a name actually fit?!
Steadfast slowly slunk out of the bushes, hesitating at a place filled with water. Unlike most cats, water didn't bother him. Besides, he knew this place long ago when he and Icefire were younger....And friends. It'd be interesting to see how things had turned out for the prankster and her friend Skywhisker.
"KEYYYYYYOWWWWW!!!!!!!!"
And the plan was in action. Mission? Get their atention and join the clan. Plan? Be very very noisy.
"PHAW! CRESENTCLAN! *Cough* I want to....
join..."
Well that could have gone better.

As the rivers defrosted and the winds picked up, the leftover leaves were swept into the slowly-edging rivers, thus clogging up the flow before the current returned to normal. And someone had to unclog them. And someone did so out of punishment over a particularly mean prank that involved fur dyes.
The creek made a choking, sloshing sound, muddied water bubbling. With a snap and gurgle, the wall of leaves tumbled, water surging back onto the proper path. Paws reached up on the bank, a very much so mud-stained and soggy she-cat dragging herself up. She gagged and shook, looking a little traumatized and offended that her snowy fur had been turned brown by the river gunk. "I'll get them back for this, my beautiful fur..." Grumbling her tongue swiped across her muzzle, eyes narrowing at the horrid taste. "Yeah maybe a few ants in their nests wi-- Owowow CRAWDAD!"
Sweeping away the angry-at-being-sat-on crustacean, now her ears perked, picking up a sound far-off. A yowl of a cat. All right! Action! Leaping up the she-cat shook her head, mud-encrusted mane fluffing out. Maybe this would be interesting; the prankster Icefire hadn't attack an intruder in ages!
----
I hadn't taken much time to reach where Steadfast lay, shrieking an invitation to be caught, jumping back into the creek had assured that. Peeking out of the water, lily pad on head, Icefire narrowed her eyes at the intruder. Not being one with a strong memory she couldn't tell who it was, but she could tell it was an intruder.
"AAAAAAIIII!"
Water splashing, lily pad still on head, she dashed from the water, charging straight at Steadfast. Taking a hold of his front leg she started gnawing on his toes. Perhaps not a tactic a normal warrior would employ, but it worked for Icefire.

"YOWWWWWWWW!!!"
Steadfast shrieked, jumping backwards. Icefire, still attached to his toes, was flung into the air.
"You flying monkey cat you just-"
Steadfast was about to continue when he realized who is was.
"Icefire! It's you!"
He suddenly jumped into this crazy talking...thing.
"Ohmygoshihaven'tseenyouinforeverhowareyoudidimentioniwanttojoincrescentclanohmygoshicoulddieivemissedyousomuch!"
Of course only Icefire of Shywhisker would even be able to understand him. Steadfast was still in such shock as seeing Icefire he didn't know where he was walking, and suddenly fell into the water she'd just came from.
"MROW!"
He scrambled around, dragging himself out of the water with his teeth. Smiling and covered in mud, he finally paused.

Her head shot up and her ears perked, she slowly leaned in and squinted at Steadfast. Then with a massive jump-spazz and squeak she chirped, "Oh, Steadfast! Yeahit'sbeenawhilewheredidyoudissapeartoo?It'sbeensoboringherelatelyit'sssuuuccchhadrag!Ohyou'rejoining?REALLY?Yaysomeonefun'sgonnabearound!Yayyayyay!" Hopping about and babbling right over Steadfast's yammer, it would take a truly odd cat to pick up what both of them were saying. Thankfully they were weird cats!
Her paws stopped right at the bank as her companion made a graceful head-over-tail into the grimy water. She grinned and tilted her head, purring, "Well you're gonna have to get used to be soggy if you're gonna be a part of the Clan!"
((XD My spell-check has issues with there not being a space in 'Steadfast', yet it lets that sentence through? HA. 7 Points. ))

"Of course I am!"
Steadfast said, pushing his annoyance aside and grabbing Icefire in both of his paws. To a two-leg, it would look like a hug, but to him...
He threw Icefire into the water and dove in after her.
"Like this?"
He started cackling, splashing all over the place. His laughter could be heard all over the territory, as he swam around. Steadfast dover under the water, using her head to push her under.
"Fwahahahahaha!"
He did not posses the power to be serious any more then she did. And who would want to anyway?

"Hey, what are you doing? WAAAK!"
Icefire shrieked all the way into the drink, limbs flailing the whole time. Amidst the yelling, splashing, and the enormous chorus of croaks as the mini-tidal-wave of impact rolled frogs straight off of their lily pads, a patrol would no doubt find them soon in the ruckus. Though it didn't matter, Icefire always played like a kit, though if they attacked Steadfast... That might not be too good.
Regardless, as she was pushed under, Icefire twisted and grabbed Steadfast at the shoulders. With a flick of the paw, Steadfast with twirled in the water, Icefire now sitting on top of him. With difficultly, because of the evil force of buoyancy.
"Ha! I win!" She chirped, quite smug.

Fur smashed down by the water, Steadfast surged out from under her and pulled himself back onto the bank. He shook himself, letting his fur spike out in odd directions.
"Oi, Icefire! Come on! I gotta join....That way, I can help you pick on..."
He eyed around, wondering if cats were listening.
"...Nobody. Pick on nobody. Erm.....That is if anyone's listening."
He meowed, cracking up in nervousness. He looked slightly fondly over his shoulder at the soaking wet Icefire. Boy would it be fun to pick on someone again!

Icefire hovered in the water, just eyes and nose peeking out over the surface, bubbles blobbing up as she exhaled. Slowly moving towards the bank she watched Steadfast, ears twitching, pulling up in a resting position with just forelimbs on the dry ground.
"You mean picking on the crawdads, right? That'd be good for you! Leave tormenting the Clan to the professionals like me."
Eyes gleaming mischievously, she loved teasing her friends. And any crawdad-related humor was good humor.
Jumping back onto solid ground, she shook like a dog, mane fluffing almost to the point of obscuring her eyesight. "Well if you're eager to get to camp, it's that way, or can't you remember when you flooded it? Ahhh, good times."

Steadfast coughed, bringing up his best pirate accent.
"Excuse me madame, but now that yee has brought up the flooding of the clan, does yee not agree to call myself professional? Argh..."
And suddenly Steadfast wondered if he'd even be accepted. He DID after all, break the two leg pipe and expload water everywhere...It was a wonder it even recovered.
He rolled his eyes, grabbing the crawdad that previously bit Icefire in his teeth and threatening her with it.
"Be forewarned. Mess with teh Steadfast and you get crawdaded."
