Clues to Romance: Fireheart and Sandstorm
By: L.M.A. a.k.a.: Firestar's Gal
I own Warriors, the internet and your brain. If you do not know that I'm joking, then I disown your brain.
This is a series of interviews of random Warrior cats that give clues to Sandstorm and Fireheart being together.
Takes place between the original series and the New Prophecy.
Not a oneshot, there's just multiple on each page. Requests open. Don't hesitate to R&R!
Spottedleaf:
A few moons after Firepaw first entered ThunderClan; I knew he was in love with me. And, as much as I tried to ignore it, I kinda had a thing for him too. He even tried to convince me to train to be a warrior so we could be together.
-Roll clip-
Firepaw: Sandpaw, you're my last hope. I've asked every cat in the Clan, Even Bluestar and the Elders, to be Spottedleaf's apprentice, but they've all turned me down. But please, can you? For me, so I can be with the one I love?
Sandpaw: No, Firepaw, I can't. I won't. Because if that happened, I could never be with the one I love.
-End clip-
Spottedleaf: After I witnessed this, and I saw the look of longing in her eyes; I knew that she was talking about him. I knew she never loved Dustpelt, because a medicine cat has nothing better to do than pay attention to everything around the camp when she's not healing or training an apprentice. It was then that I knew that Sandpaw and Firepaw were destined to be together, even if it would break my heart. I know it's kind of strange for me to say, but I'm glad that I died and I wish Firepaw would have let go sooner.
Graystripe:
After I joined RiverClan to be with my kits, I knew this was bound to happen. Yeah, Spottedleaf had something special with Fireheart, but nothing like it should have been. I knew Fireheart would get a mate when I left because of not having a best friend around. I know I would have if I didn't leave for love.
-Roll clip-
Fireheart: Oh, why do I keep going on patrol by the river? It makes me so sad.
Sandstorm: I'm so sorry about Graystripe.
Fireheart: I miss him so much.
Sandstorm: You still have me.
Fireheart: Yes, and for that I thank you.
-End clip-
Graystripe: I witnessed this from behind a bush near the border. At that moment I knew that Sandstorm was the mate I expected Fireheart would get after I left. I'm still getting over the shock.
Willowpelt:
After my kitting, Sandstorm and Fireheart came to see my kits. When Sandstorm looked down at my little angels with that softness and nurturing in her eyes, I knew that she would make a great mother and mate one day. And when I saw Fireheart gaze shocked at her warm expression, I knew who would be the perfect mate for her.
-Roll clip-
Sandstorm (at this point in time, thinking): Wow, three little lives, created by love. That's so beautiful. I wonder if Fireheart would ever want kits…
Fireheart (looking at her, also thinking): Is that a mothering expression? I've never seen her like this. She's usually so fiery and edgy. Does she want kits? Who does she want to father her kits? I don't know, but he'll certainly be lucky.
Thoughts voiced by Firestar and Sandstorm during the between series time.

Willowpelt: They did make a great couple. Their kits are adorable. Aaah! A badger!
Bluestar:
Firestar and Sandstorm… well, they were a complicated couple, and their story was just like the love stories you twolegs like to see in what you call "movies." They seemed to hate each other, and then they slowly fell in love. But I can't help but wonder if they sort of had that kithood crush before all of this.
Before I roll the clip, I want to give you some background info: In this scene, it was about four moons after Sandstorm was kitted, in mid newleaf. Her mother invited me to go with them to explore the territory, and since I was bored, I went with them. It was the time when I first saw Fireheart.
-Roll clip-
Bluestar: Here's our far border, Sandkit, twolegplace.
Sandkit's mother: That's where twolegs and kittypets live; you might also find a couple rogues there. Nothing in twolegplace is a real threat, but rogues can be quite a pawful at times.
Sandkit: Can we go?
Bluestar: No, the warrior code forbids us to have any interaction with twolegs and kittypets. Besides, twolegs are tricky, some hate cats and might harm you, some love cats and will try to turn you into a kittypet. Either way, they're dangerous.
They spot a fiery orange kittypet, no older than three moons, walking along the borderline with wobbly steps.
Sandkit: Look! Another cat!
Sandkit's mother: Yes, that's a kittypet. No real harm, like Bluestar said.
Sandkit: Too bad. He's cute!
The kittypet kit ran back to his mother, who was grooming a pretty tabby she-cat with white paws.
Kittypet kit: Look, mother! Other cats! Can we go say hi?
Kittypet's mother: No, Rusty, they're wild cats, they're savages. You don't want to put yourself in danger.
Rusty: But mother, they're only she-cats, I can smell them. And one's my age.
Rusty's mother: Oh, really. Well, we won't, but at least they won't hurt us.
Rusty: But she's fly!
Rusty's mother: -rolls eyes-
-End clip-
Bluestar: That was the real first encounter with Firestar, and that was also the time when I got interested in bringing him into the Clan. I'm not sure what fly means, but I am sure that Firestar and Sandstorm both forgot about that moment when Firestar came into the Clan. But I will never forget it, and when they come to join me in StarClan, I'll be sure to remind them.
(You'll hate me for this, but I'm doing it anyway)
Tigerclaw: Young love. It makes me sick. Young cats always think love is something to sacrifice everything for. Well, not me. You didn't see me begging Goldenflower to come with me to exile. You didn't see Sasha in ShadowClan, did you? I don't care about them, in fact I never have. Yeah, they were hot, but I only used them to pass on my blood. Anyway, I think Firestar doesn't deserve a she-cat like Sandstorm. She's too fly. (Oh, and I learned what fly means from a kittypet named Ice Block. It just means cool or hot in gangsta talk, yo) He doesn't deserve those two brats either. Leafkit and Squirrelkit; only a real loser would name their kit after a past love, or a rodent. But Firestar was always soft, and a kiss up. Why do you think Bluestar made him deputy after me anyway? Okay, I've graced you with my presence long enough. Let's roll a clip.

Tigerclaw: Happy? I rolled a clip!

Darkstripe dressed up in a Firestar disguise using a normal voice: Okay, okay!
Blackstar: Just one more thing.
Darkstripe: What?
Blackstar: Does this makeup make me look pretty?
