"What?!?!?!" exclaimed Firestar in amazement.
"I want to be a warrior. Warriors are allowed to have kits. I cannot give up being with Ashfur. StarClan already gave their approval. Jayfeather is ready to care for the Clan on his own. He's done it for moons! I can always help him if he really needs it, but he doesn't need me as a mentor anymore. Please!" meowed Leafpool.
Leafpool, are you sure? Do… do you really want to do that to be my mate?" asked Ashfur.
"Yes, Ashfur. I'm sure. Please Firestar, agree. And Jayfeather. Jayfeather can handle being the only medicine cat. I know he can!" Leafpool meowed.
"I'm willing. The Clan will finally stop treating me like a kit if I'm full medicine cat. I can handle it." Jayfeather answered. Firestar looked to Brambleclaw to see what the deputy thought.
"Leafpool is a good medicine cat, but she will never be as good thinking about Ashfur. They love each other. Like Squirrelflight and I love each other. Besides, Leafpool and Ashfur have both tried to take mates that they could not stay with. My own mate was once Ashfur's mate. She would want to see him happy I'm sure. I agree." Brambleclaw decided.
"I guess my vote doesn't matter. You can be a warrior. Send Sandstorm to me. She'll help you train. Ashfur would go too easy on you, and me and Brambleclaw both already have apprentices." Firestar agreed. Ashfur and Leafpool left Firestar's den together and sent Sandstorm to see him.
"I love you Ashfur." Purred Leafpool.
Sorry it's short! I posted without reviews because it's about 2 minutes after the last post. And it's midnight. I need a life. Let me know if you find one. It's a bit fluffy at the end because I said so. Now Leafpool's a warrior. How will the Clan react? Find out next chapter! And maybe find out a bit more about ThornXHazel, and JayX??????
