CHETAHLUV: Thank you for Reviewing!

BRIGHTHEART: You know, I wonder if Brambleclaw is gonna be lonely for the rest of his life...

ASHFUR: Probably! Lol

SQUIRRELFLIGHT: Smh. Such a shame... but funny too... 0wo

CLOUDTAIL: Awwwwww poor dude

LEAFPOOL: ... Serves him right!

BRAMBLECLAW: ...You know... I'm right here...?

EVERYONE:...?...

FIRESTAR: HELLO! Chetahluv owns NOTHING but the story plot SORTA!

BRAMBLECLAW: Hello?

(AWKWARD SILENT EXIT OUT OF THE DEN) I said that! ENJOY! ;P

Two pelts ran together toward the Thunderclan camp, mouths full of prey. The she-cat reached it first and bounded across the clearing to toss her fresh-kill with the rest of the clan's prey. But right behind her, the grey speckled tom dropped his in too, not two seconds later.

"I caught more than you!" Squirrelflight purred as she rubbed against Ashfur.

"Yeah," Ashfur shoved her playfully, "A mouse more!" He purred back at her.

"A mouse is more than nothing when you're starving," Brambleclaw said lowly as he stalked up to them and stood in front of them.

Squirrelflight avoided looking at her former mate and instead leaned against her best friend's pelt.

Ashfur asked what she wanted to know, "What do you need, Brambleclaw?"

"Border Patrol. Windclan." He shuffled his paws, "I wanted Squirrelflight to come with Cloudtail, Brightheart, and me."

There was an awkward silence in which both toms looked at the ginger cat.

(BTW: It's been about three weeks since Brambleclaw's little revealing...)

"Sure..." she said slowly.

Brambleclaw's heart soared above the clouds, metaphorically speaking, of course. Maybe I do have a chance!

Ashfur's eyes narrowed only the tiniest little bit, I don't like this, Squirrelflight. I wouldn't trust him.

Squirrelflight was unaware of any of the things the toms were thinking. She only knew that she couldn't shake a feeling of wrongness of her pelt.

"We leave in about 5 minutes," With that, Brambleclaw walked off, head held high.

(BTW: I don't think cats keep track of time... but... oh well! It's a Fanfiction! ;P)

"i don't like this, Squirrelflight..." Ashfur said as he turned to her.

"Well, I can't just go on ignoring him for the rest of my life." She pointed out reasonably.

Firestar flicked his tail from in front of his den, a summoning for Ashfur. The spotted tom dipped his head in acknowledgement.

"Yeah well," Ashfur licked her cheek, "Just be careful. I don't trust him."

Then Ashfur bounded across the clearing, up the rocks, and into Firestar's den. Squirrelflight watched him go with an unusually tight feeling on her heart. Like someone was raking their claws against it lightly but with alot of pressure. It got worst until she could no longer see the friend. Shaking her head, she approached the border patrol. I wonder... is that what love feels like? She paused a second, then continued walking, Well, whatever...

"You ready?" Brambleclaw asked her as she came to a stop beside Cloudtail.

She nodded distantly. He looked at her closely, but then shrugged and led the way out of the camp and up the hill. Squirrelflight followed a little bit slower... I'll ask Brightheart... she'll know.

That's the end of Chapter 4! Hope you liked! Please Review, it makes me feel like people are actually reading, Thnx!

BTW: I just might add a little bit Spottedleaf action in one of the up coming Chapters. Keep updated!
