okay. you don't have to read this, but all musicals have some sort of intermission! this is called; To Be Together Again.


"I'm sorry. Firestar...he's gone." Jayfeather backed up, his sightless eyes couded with pain. Sandstorm lay next to him, her old body curled up against him, "Take him with honor..." She prayed in a raspy voice.

Firestar opened his eyes. His limbs felt young and strong, his muscles responding smoothly. He was free again, to roam StarClan's endless territory.

"Firestar!" A voice yowled that was so familiar.

"Spottedleaf!" Firestar bounded toward his first love, but halted, "I'm sorry...but Sandstorm.." Some sort of anger clouded the gentle she-cat's eyes, "She's still alive. For now, it's just you and me...together once more..."

"Oh, no. Oh, no..." Jayfeather moaned. His metor, Leafpool, padded up. "What is it?" She asked.

"Sandstorm not doing to well, I think the separation from Firestar is hurting her." Jayfeather shook his head.

I know how that feels...Leafpool added silently. A sudded gasp came from the pale ginger she-cat, then the den was silent.

"Mother!" Squirrelflight ran in, burying her nose into her mother's fur one more time.

"Firestar, I've missed you so much...I think about you all the time." Spottedleaf said, her eyes sparkling with all the love she had. A sudden movement distracted him.

"Sandstorm!" He yowled, bounding toward his mate. Spottedleaf felt jealously and anger well up in her, and before she knew it, she was raking through Sandstorm's fur.

"Spottedleaf!" Firestar yowled, pulling the dapple she-cat off his mate, "What's wrong with you?"

"Her, she stole you, you should have been mine if I had never died!" She screamed, hurt, anger and raw love filling her voice.

"I love you, and I loved you, but that's in the past. I stopped living in the past, maybe you should too." He said sadly, "We can be no more that friends..."

Sandstorm smoothed her ruffled fur, and they walked off together, ginger pelts brushing, onto a path of starlight.

"To only be together again..." The wind seemed to sigh in Spottedleaf's ear as she padded off to the forest.


a little sad, but maybe thats how spottedleaf really feels! thank goodness is next!
