A/N: Hello everyone, I'm Shadows who Rise or Shadow. This is my first fanfiction and I hope you like it. Now, while I do like JessyxBramblestar more, I felt like that their relationship went by fast, so in this fanfiction, Jessy is there longer than for a moon or two. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this and please, reviews are always appreciated.

The Clan was celebrating. The badgers in ShadowClan were stopped, everything was healing after the storm and peace had now ruled. The dark ThunderClan leader padded through the forest with an ambered-eyed she-cat following him. The sun set as they made their way to a nice spot by the lake. The two laughed as they went over the recent events and the times of joy spent in the last few moons.

"Bramblestar, I'll never regret a moment I spent with your Clan," Jessy purred. Bramblestar gazed at the she-cat with slight concern. He saw sorrow enter her normally happy eyes as she looked away.

"That sounds as if you're leaving." The former kittypet diverted her gaze from the leader. She sighed in sadness as she got on her paws.

"I think you know I have to. If I stay you-you might not follow where your heart lies." Bramblestar was silent. How was he supposed to reply?

"You already love Squirrelflight, as you should," the dark she-cat continued. "She's the mother of your kits and nothing will change that." Bramblestar still didn't speak. What did he have to say? Yes, a part of him still did love Squirrelflight. But, after everything that happened, how could the two get back together and have everything still be normal? She lied to him, and he refused to talk to her for countless moons. Were they supposed to act like nothing happened and forget the lies? Forget how he ignored her for so long? After leaving Jessy without an answer, the ThunderClan leader had one.

"Jessy, wait, please. Yes, a part of me still loves Squirrelflight. As you mentioned, we did raise kits together, even if they weren't ours, and we've gone through so much. However, after everything we've been through, from her lies to me just pretending she didn't exist, I don't think we could be mates and be happy again. Jessy, I love you. These last moons with you have been amazing and I want you stay. I want you to stay here with me and be my mate. Who knows, maybe we can even have a family together. I don't want to force you into a decision you want. So, what do you say?" The brown tabby asked. Jessy's sad expression lit up with joy.

"You really mean it?" Jessy asked.

"Yes, of course I do. I love you and I know you do too. Nothing will change the relationship Squirrelflight and I had and what we have now. A small part of me will always love her, but we're not mates any more. That's over. Jessy, will you stay with me in ThunderClan with me as my mate?" For a moment, the two were quiet. Was Jessy still leaving? That simple question buzzed in Bramblestar's head.

"Yes, I will stay. I love you Bramblestar," the former kittypet purred. The leader leaned in and whispered, "I love you too." While there was still light left, the pair padded back to the camp, getting ready to perform her ceremony. After he called the meeting, the Warriors of his Clan had gathered, waiting for Jessy to become one of them.

"I, Bramblestar, leader of ThunderClan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this cat. She has come to us with knowlege and the skills of a warrior. I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Jessy, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do," the dark she-cat replied with a shaky breath.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Jessy, from this moment on you'll be known as Oakflower. StarClan honors your enthusiasm and skill and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

"Oakflower! Oakflower! Oakflower!" The warrior of the Clan cheered. Bramblestar watched his mate smiled with pride. A few lengths away from the new warrior, Squirrelflight was smiling warmly. After saying her congratulations, he watched the ginger deputy head off into the warriors den. She was quickly followed by the rest of the ThunderClan cats leaving the newly named Oakflower alone. After saying their goodnights to each other, the new warrior did what many did before her. She watched the camp as silverpelt came into view.

Well, I hope you enjoyed chapter one of my story! So, question of the day, which couple do you prefer? BramblestarxSquirrelfight or BramblestarxJessy?
