(oh, and I moderated some words to make it sound more Warriors-y)
Leafpool was walking along the lakeshore, looking up at the stars one night, thinking...
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
Crowfeather and I will never be together again. We shouldn't have in the first place. He's from another Clan, and I'm a Medicine cat! How could I be so Mousebrained?!
But I've got to get over him. This is useless, all my wallowing in self-pity. But I'll never love again.
And it seemed nobody even cared.
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the fresh-kill you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on
She went along with her life as the new medicine cat of ThunderClan, but since she came back after the badger attack, she couldn't get back to normal. She let out a pitiful wail of sorrow and desperation. And it seemed nobody even cared.
Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a run
You had a bad day
StarClan don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
She was so lost and alone now. Was there any love for a medicine cat? She tried to cheer herself up, but it didn't work. She lied to her former mentor about Crowfeather, and she regrets it now because Cinderpelt was gone, and she hadn't even received one dream from her since she died. She picked up her pace to get the sadness out. Even StarClan, she felt, could tell how bad she was feeling. Her love was gone and she missed him. She couldn't feel worse, everything was gone.
Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
She paused at the WindClan border where she used to meet Crowfeather. Even being here warmed her. She could almost feel the soft touch of his gray-black pelt.
I want to love him again. Nobody believed me when I said I loved him. There's too much heartbreak.
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
StarClan don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
Suddenly, Leafpool heard a rustling sound coming from up ahead on the WindClan border. Then she saw a lithe, dark shape going over the moorland. She shrunk back into the bush. She didn't want to be seen by a WindClan cat, even though she was safe inside her own border, she didn't want to get Crowfeather in trouble, for she still loved him.
The shape stopped moving just a little bit away from her. It let out a long, sad wail. "LEAFPOOL!" It screamed.
Crowfeather! Her heart skipped a beat.
"Yes?" She asked, coming out of her hiding place, love glowing in her eyes.
"Leafpool? I missed you, so, so, much!"
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
One last time, just once, I'll love him again. Leafpool promised herself. Crowfeather seemed to read her mind.
"One last time?" He asked.
"Let's make it last." She said. She pressed her muzzle against his and purred. Their tails twined and he licked her cheek.
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
He and I can love again.
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
One more time. That's the end. Day will break soon and he and I will be over, but our love will reign on, and we can see each other again, in StarClan, after many moons of serving our Clans, we will reunite.
Love has returned for us.
