I was bored. Enjoy.

And The World Kept on Turning
I was dreaming.
That was the first thing I thought when I blinked open my eyes. Now, how could a cat tell so fast?
Easy.
I'm blind.
But now, I see.
I could see the stars. I could see the trees stretch into an unending sweep. For StarClan's sake, I could even see the wind. The wind whistling through the lush stalks of grass. I could see.
"Jayfeather?"
I turned around. I could see Lionblaze.
"Hi," I meowed simply. Just hi.
"Why are we here?" he asked me. I remained silent. I knew. I knew why I was here, and I had a pretty good guess at why Lionblaze was as well.
Lionblaze was here so I could talk to him.
One last time.
"Lionblaze," I began, "I'm going on a journey." He cocked his head in confusion.
"A journey? Where?" I looked up at the stars. The bright, bright stars. Lionblaze blinked in understanding. He looked solemn, but I could detect it. I could detect the sadness that was in his eyes. I could see it.
"So soon?" he murmured.
"I will see you in StarClan, Brother," I whispered. He bowed his head.
"Good bye, Jayfeather. I'll always miss you."
"That makes two of us."
Those were the last words we spoke to each other. The last words, until we were both joined in StarClan. I gently touched my nose to his.
Then, I got up and walked. By got up, I don't mean I stood up. I mean I stepped into the air.
I walked a path of stars. I walked, and I didn't look back. I walked, and I had no regrets. I walked until I saw the cat I had missed most all those moons she was gone.
"Jayfeather," Hollyleaf meowed, obvious joy in her tone. "I've been waiting."
And the world kept on turning.
Thanks for reading. Review if you want to. I might continue making random one-shots about random characters if I get enough.
