A/N: Okay, I'd be a dirty, rotten potato (I don't even know XD) If I didn't say that I got the idea to do this from Brightheart's Book of 100 one-shots. I thought, why not make a book of every shipping I can think of, canon, crack, or whatever, so that the warriors fandom can enjoy all of their shippings in peace and harmony! (I hope.) Well, leave me suggestions! I'll get to them as soon as I can! It could even be just a one-shot about a cat who's jealous of other cats being together (cough cough Ashfur cough). Anyway, let's begin! :P

And, since I adore this couple... we'll start with...

Sandstorm x Firestar!


He padded up to her, affection gleaming in his leaf-green eyes. He grinned and purred, pressing his pelt against hers and touching her cheek with his nose. "Spottedleaf... I can't do this without you." His choked the words out. My eyes widened.

"And you won't. I will always stand by your side, my love, no matter what happens. I'll always be there for you." My aunt, Spottedleaf, the most beautiful cat in the entire world, as Firestar had called her, murmured. I felt tears swelling in my eyes, my heart twisting inside my chest. But... I loved Firestar!

Firestar smiled, tears of joy and longing trickling down his cheeks. "Thank you, Spottedleaf. I love you too." He said, curling his tail around her side and purring. They simply stood there, pelts touching, tail entwined, purring. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take it!

My emerald colored eyes snapped open. I was breathing heavy, my heart beating fast, lurching inside my chest. I tried to tell myself that it was just a dream, just a dream and not real... but it was!

The love of my life really did love Spottedleaf, far more than he ever loved me, and I knew it. She was always with him, always by his side. I stared at the cats around me, sleeping so soundly. Tears were glistening in my eyes, just like in the dream. I couldn't do it... I couldn't stand it anymore...

So with a quiet sob, I leaped to my feet and flew out of the warriors den, sprinting as fast as I could towards the entrance to camp. My paws pounded against the hard earth below me. Have to get away. Have to go somewhere else. Have to leave.

The forest flew by in a blur as I ran. I had no idea where I was going, but I knew that I just needed to find a place to calm down. Get the thought of Firestar with my aunt out of my head. I spotted a patch of brush near a large boulder. I ducked behind it and pressed my face into the brush, tears finally dripping down my face and seeping into the soil.

I just sat there, sobbing into the earth. Why was it like that? Why was he still in love with her, even when she was dead? More tears came.

"W-why?" I squeaked, eyes watery and tears staining my cheeks.

"Sandstorm?" I recognized that voice. Firestar!? What was he doing in the forest this late? Did he see me crying? I glanced around, frantic. I wiped the tears from my eyes and sniffled. "Yeah?"

The handsome tomcat padded around the boulder and sat in front of me, confused. I flattened my ears. "What are you doing out here, this late?" I murmured.

"I would ask you the same. I saw you running from the warriors den, and decided to follow, in case something was wrong." Firestar explained in a concerned tone of voice.

"N-no... everything is fine..." I muttered, looking away. But I could see it in his eyes that he knew I was lying.

"You sounded like you were crying. Sandstorm, if something is wrong, you can always tell me." He was worried about me. What was I supposed to do? Tell him about how I felt about him and Spottedleaf?

"I can't..." I muttered.

"You can. No matter what it is, I don't care. I just want to know so that I can help you."

I had no choice. "I-I... Firestar... I had a horrible nightmare! And you were there, and you were with Spottedleaf, and you told her you loved her and, and, and I..." I broke out sobbing, the tears returning. Why was this happening? Why!?

Firestar had this, surprised, yet understanding look in his eyes. He sighed. I looked away. "And now you're mad at me for being jealous of you and, and Spottedleaf..." I choked.

"Sandstorm... I loved Spottedleaf, and she meant the world to me at first... But, she's up in starclan now. I love someone else."

I glanced up, eyes still filled with tears. "Who?" I coughed weakly, my tail flicking back and forth.

"You, my darling. I love you, and nobody else. Not Spottedleaf, not anyone. Just you." Firestar curled his tail around me, just as he'd done with Spottedleaf. I felt like I should lash out, like I should move away. He still loved Spottedleaf, at least a little bit. But his words comforted me. I sniffled.

"I... I love you too, Firestar. Please never leave me for Spottedleaf." I coughed, pressing my forehead against his flank. Firestar smiled and purred, giving me a lick on the cheek.

"Come on, let's get back to camp. You'll need your rest for dawn patrol tomorrow."

And with that, we both walked off, content. For now.


A/N: Well, that was nice! LOL, that'll start it off! I'll take any suggestions, but fi I get none next time I'm doing Brightheart and Cloudtail!
