Okay, my new series of one-shots of our favourite couples!

Please review! I am not competing against other authors, nor do I want to hog the limelight (although that would be nice). I just want people to read my one-shots! :P

Flareon – I know you started the craze, I just hope you don't think I am trying to take all your readers…. :(

Requests are always welcome…I will do anything you ask me to, even if I don't particularly like it…

Here we go, starting with JayxCinder…

JayxCinder – Blind

Love had occurred to me when I was alone, but I knew I could never follow the path of my mother, and many other ThunderClan medicine cats by taking a mate. What ThunderClan needed was a medicine cat they could rely on, not somebody who was going to run away with another cat at the first chance.

Yes, I had feelings for cats, but I never tried to even attempt following them, for I knew what trouble I would get into. I had also noticed cats 'padding' after me; Poppyfrost in particular when we were still apprentices. I have my standards, and her drooling over me like that is not the sort of cat that I would even think about being mates with!

Then I noticed Willowshine. She was a medicine cat too, for StarClan's sake! How could she even think of that? She always finds excuses to sit next to me at the Moonpool, and always insists on talking to me on the way there and the way back.

It was still bugging me, so I decided to take a walk and collect some herbs on the way. I was still out of chervil and my marigold and borage stores were very low. Juniper was also on the list. I made my way to the lake, where I would find some chervil and some of the juniper. It certainly was blustery! I felt the wind trying to drag me off course, and towards the lake. I pushed against the gale, but suddenly a huge gust knocked me off my paws, and sliding down the hill and into the lake.

Having taught Cinderheart how to swim to strengthen my leg, I could've swum back to the shore, if I knew where the shore was. The lake was too choppy to try and kick my legs to get back to dry land as I was being dragged into the middle of the lake (I could feel it get deeper and deeper) where I would most certainly drown. I'm too young to die I thought in desperation.

I could feel my eyes starting to close and I squinted them to keep them open.

Suddenly, I heard some sort of splashing noise and some cat's breathing. I felt the cat grab me by the scruff of my neck and they pulled me all the way back to the shore. I heaved as I fought for air, my saviour licking me the wrong way to warm me up. Just then, I scented them…it was Willowshine!

"What are you doing here?" I asked stupidly as I noticed who the cat was.

"Mating with a Twoleg nest. What do you think I'm doing here?!" she growled in frustration.

"But why? Why did you save me?" I knew the answer before I had finished asking the question.

"Well…Jayfeather….um…I really don't know how to say this but….I think I am in love with you…" she spluttered.

I thought I had a comeback for this, but I didn't. I didn't speak for a moment. I could sense her anticipation as she waited for my answer.

I took a deep breath, "Willowshine, you know this is wrong. We are both medicine cats, and we can't ever be mates. I'm sorry."

"But…but…but…I love you! I can't live without you!" she wailed. Despite how annoying she was, I felt quite sorry for her.

"I'm sorry, but I don't love you…" I said quietly, hanging my head in embarrassment. Suddenly, I felt a sharp kick in the side and I felt myself rolling down the hill and back into the lake, the cold water lapping at my fur.

Willowshine ran away, as far as I could tell, as her wails got further and further away. I was back in the lake, and with nobody to fish me out, I was done for. I felt myself slip away back into the middle of the lake, as the water got deeper. I braced myself as I started to bob up and down in the water.

"Jayfeather!"

My head whipped around to see where the call came from, but it took up too much energy and I had to be limp again. I heard more splashing and the water being displaced by this other cat. I felt a grip on the scruff and was again pull back to dry land. Who had saved me this time? I took a sniff after I vomited some of the water. It was Cinderheart.

"Cinderheart…?" I croaked.

"Oh, thank StarClan you're alive!" Cinderheart licked my face in relief. It surprised me, but I strangely liked it.

"Yes…Cinderheart….thank you…" I heaved weakly as she kept on warming me up. It felt nice and soothing on my cold fur, and I didn't really want to stop. After a little while, I was warm again, and Cinderheart had caught me a mouse. I gulped down the prey and led down.

"Um…Jayfeather…can I tell you something?" Cinderheart sounded embarrassed. Did she like me?

I hope she did. Her contagious laugh, her never-ending happiness, her sense of fun…I really loved those things about her, and- woh, woh, woh! I am a medicine cat. I am not allowed to love!

"Yes…" I replied in an embarrassing monotone.

"I…I…I…I think I like you…a lot…" she mumbled. She liked me!? She did?! That's great…but I can't love her back… "You don't have to love me back…I know you couldn't anyway…"

She turned away, but I grabbed her leg. "No," I called. She turned back; I felt it in her legs. "I like you too," I whispered lightly. We touched noses delicately as she helped me up gently. I guess the herbs can wait till later…

How was that? I didn't writing romance till now! Don't forget to do requests!

Please Review!
