Prologue

"Lionheart." Bluestar went into the Warriors Den at the break of dawn.

"Bluestar?" Lionheart asked, his sight blurry after such a long night sleep.

"Yes, Bluestar. Listen…Remember Rusty? You're supposed to go get him soon. He has been on my mind all night. Go in a few minutes but explain to.. Whitestorm first because your taking him with you.

"Right…" Lionheart said, shaking his head to wake up a bit more. He started prodding Whitestorm in the side to wake him up. "Whitestorm! Whitestorm!'' he hissed, trying not to awaken any other warriors. Especially Tigerclaw, for a number of reasons. He didn't want to have to explain to the younger warrior why he and Whitestorm were up so early. Plus Tigerclaw was incredibly cranky in the morning.

Whitestorm didn't seem to be getting up, so Lionheart started shaking him. Whitestorm just groaned.

"Willowpelt….I love you.." Whitestorm said in his dream. Lionheart smiled. It was wrong, but he could have some fun with this.

"O Whitestorm…." He said in a high pitched voice….I love you too but right now Lionheart needs you to get up…"

"Anything for you Willowpelt…" Lionheart started cracking up when he heard this.

"Hey lovebird, get up!" He said. Whitestorm groggily opened his eyes. As soon as he saw Lionheart he groaned. "Don't tell me you heard that!" He said.

"Every word. Now get up. We have a mission…."

Ok it's a bit silly I know but I couldn't help it. The whole story will not be like that….Review!
