Lionblaze999: Firestar says disclaimer!

Firestar: But I don't want to!

Lionblaze999: Hurry up!

Firestar: Fine. Lionblaze999 doesn't own Warriors or he would be Erin Hunter.

Sandstorm: Or me!

Firestar: NOT YOU!

Sandstorm: But !

Lionblaze999: "Shut up! Here's the chappy!" Drags an arguing Sandstorm and Firestar away.

Prologue

Firestar padded out of his den slowly, after a long night. He was still sleepy and he was thinking about many things. Chief among them was Sandstorm, who had become angry at him for being stupid. "Stupid toms," was the last thing she said before leaving him to lie alone in his den in the ravine, that had suddenly become cold without the warmth of her lithe body. He asked Graystripe to arrange a hunting patrol, and went off to organize the dawn patrol.

"Sandstorm, Ashfur, and Dustpelt will go on dawn patrol," He said to himself. Spotting Sandstorm, he tried to walk over to her to give her the information, but she walked away, flicking her tail at him as she walked. Sighing, Firestar padded to the warriors den where he found Dustpelt.

"You will go on dawn patrol with Sandstorm and Ashfur."

"Okay, but I don't like it."

"Get used to disappointment." Firestar said, annoyed that Dustpelt was complaining. Dustpelt grunted and walked off to fetch the others. Firestar slowly pulled himself over to the high rock and lay down, resting his head on his paws.

"You okay Firestar?" Graystripe asked, startling Firestar.

"Yeah," Firestar lied, he couldn't burden his clan with his love life, it wouldn't be right.

"No you're not, you are felling tired, dejected, and depressed. Tonight, go to Cinderpelt and retrieve some poppy seeds so you can sleep. A clan is only as good as its leader, I always say."

"Okay, Graystripe," Firestar mumbled, before returning to his comfortable spot on the High rock. Graystripe flicked Firestar with his tail before walking off to talked to the elder's who were in the process of berating an apprentice. Today would be a long day.

As night approached, Firestar padded to Cinderpelt's den. She looked up from where she was laying, her crippled leg splayed out in an awkward- looking position. She got up from her bed of moss and greeted him with a friendly lick on the ear.

"Hey Firestar, what do you want?"

"I can't seem to get enough sleep; can I have some poppy seeds please?" Firestar asked, trying to hide the reason for him not being able to sleep.

"You know, poppy seeds reduce pain, but they can't heal a broken heart," she said while fetching the seeds.

Firestar winced inwardly, how could she always guess why he wanted something

"Sandstorm might be angry, but she still loves you. She will just try to hide it for awhile. Apologizing helps too," she said winking at Firestar. He took the seeds and padded to his den. It still felt cold without his favorite she-cats scent and body. He fell asleep eventually, but he still missed Sandstorm's warm fur.
