Snowcrystal of Thunderclan- I know right? XD They were just standing there in a corner starstruck! XD (Chapter 23 reply to review)
Echo in the Whispering Wind- Yay! :D :D :D I'm glad you like the rewrites! I love them too! :D (I can't wait for the Division games again and the rivalry between Hadara and Bree to become apparent XD)
Guest- Thank you more such a nice review! :D I appreciate it very very much! :D Binge reading is fun! :D Try binge eating my other story Warriors Human Short Stories, it's super long! XD I liked the old version of this story too, and I completely agree with you in regards to the new version, I love it! :D :D :D I'm having fun with Cynthia and Leon's relationship, I'm trying to develop it as much as possible and display the frequent usage of their link before it gets flattened for a few chapters ^-^ :( Ah, Cynthia and Hannah's rivalry, probably the most featured rivalry so far! :D Although, Bree and Hadara's will be emerging quite soon! :D I did say that Bree got super ticked off about the link blockage, and yes, she does yell at people! XD I have part of the scene written out for that part actually, and Snowcrystal can tell you that she does yell, (I showed it to her because she had a question regarding the whole thing^-^) and she does cut the power to all FIVE bases, plus she makes all of the leaders and co-leaders go to a VR meeting where she refuses to let them leave nor return power to their bases until they admit that they had made a mistake. I agree! Bree can be pretty "bawse" (I can't think of another word! XD) when she wants to be, which is decently often XD it does seem to be all the time, doesn't it? What if I told you that Bree has designed and implemented a device that allows her to balance, kneel, crawl, move her legs in a broad range of motion, and feel pain and other sensations, does that make her even cooler or what? :D XD Yeah, when I said it was sad I was talking about the power restriction thing, cause it makes me really sad when two of my characters are super lost, confused, and have no idea what to do :( :( :( Yeah, the Power Couple link is only restricted for about… a month? I think? I know it's fixed before Cynthia's birthday and the story is nearing August at the moment so ya, about a month ^-^ PLEASE FORGIVE ME WHEN IT COMES OUT! XD :D I promise that there is a lot more stuff in the chapters than Leon and Cynthia confused about what to do without their link. Like Ivory tails Seth, they rescue Miles, Cynthia's patience snaps violently, Bree and Hadara have a short argument, Cynthia and Hannah fight, Cynthia "accidentally" breaks Hannah's nose, Holly has a moment with Finli (Hollyleaves, yay! :D), Bree finishes L.I.O.N, Brian dies(again -_-), Sam escapes, the Division Games Are interrupted, Cynthia breaks Sam's nose during a capture the flag event, etc. So yeah, there's a whole lot going on! :D Now if only I could write the next chapter! XD I'm having issues with that chapter! XD and I updated! :D With a special, but I updated! :D :D :D
A Kiss As An Excuse
(Briarfeather under the mistletoe)
(I was supposed to write this such a long time ago! XD)
Jay, Willow- 17
Bree- 18 (her birthday was a week before this, roughly)
This is the Rewritten Version, meaning it's got all the new cool stuff like Jay's visor! :D
'Crap!' Jay grunted mentally as he ducked into another room when he picked up on Willow's voice once again and caught sight of her out of the edge of his visor's vision, 'Leave me alone already!'
"Jay?" Jay jumped and whirled around, facing the voice with widened and grumpy blind blue eyes.
It took him a moment to realize who the speaker was, it was Bree, the dark brown haired morale expert had been tinkering with her VR sunglasses, the actual sunglasses of which, were perched on the top of her head.
Jay heard Willow's approaching footsteps and ducked behind Bree and her wheelchair, he crouched down and tried to make himself completely nonvisible, "Help me!" He hissed to Bree as Willow's footsteps got louder, "she's been chasing me all evening!"
:) :) :)
Bree put her arms behind her head and hid Jay's black hair in the process, as Willow approached. "Hi Willow!"
"Hey, have you seen Jay?" Willow asked curiously, clasping her hands behind her back and smiling at the high ranked personnel.
"Yeah! I saw him with Cynthia and his siblings a few minutes ago!" Bree chirped with a smile, looking comfortable in her wheelchair.
"Okay cool, thanks!" Willow thanked her and disappeared with the intent of finding the grumpy field medic.
:) :) :) :)
"Jay!" Bree sighed a few hours later, they were still playing hide and seek with Willow and he had been hiding behind her the entire time, not daring to come out. "This is ridiculous!"
"I'm not kissing her!" Jay snapped back, listening intently for Willow's footsteps or voice, keeping his head turned towards the doorway, his visor helping him.
"Kiss her?" Bree blinked in confusion, leaning forward slightly and idly rubbing a spot on her right thigh, "Why do you have to kiss Willow?"
"Because she trapped me under the mistletoe and Diana had the bright idea that I have to kiss someone because of the mistletoe!"
"Again?" Bree groaned, leaning back in her wheelchair and pinching the bridge of her nose, "She's going crazy with the mistletoe stuff! Poor Holly's had to put up with Mike, Brendan, and Fin all kiss her on the cheek! Cindy and Leon had to kiss for at least thirty seconds! Ivory had to kiss a guy from Wind named Braxton, And I've narrowly escaped having to kiss some random shadow division guy!"
Jay blanched, his cousin was out of her mind. "You're right, Diana is insane." He said curtly, still on the look out for Willow.
"See!" Bree exclaimed, tinkering with her VR sunglasses again, having nothing else to do while they kept playing the ridiculously long game of hide and seek. "She's a serious romantic and it drives even me up the wall!"
"I can't blame you, my cousin is ridiculous- Willow's coming!" Jay ducked against behind his friend as Willow emerged from around the corner and Bree pretended to be playing a game on her VR sunglasses, making random noises and covering up the voices Willow had heard moment's earlier.
"Oh! Hi, again Willow!" Bree chirped, flipping up the VR visor part of her sunglasses, "What's up?" She was keenly aware of Jay hiding behind her, his body pressed against the back of her wheelchair, making her position a little uncomfortable.
"Hey Bree, have you seen Jay again? I didn't see him with his siblings…" Willow trailed off, looking pleadingly at the amber-eyed brunette.
Bree wracked her mind for something Jay would be doing right about now and quickly came up with a cover up, "I don't know, maybe by the medics? I haven't over there in a while so I have no idea!" She chirped convincingly, amber eyes gleaming with cheer.
"Oh yeah! Thanks a lot, Bree!" Willow smiled and disappeared once again, leaving the medic and the genius to themselves.
"It's almost disturbing how flawlessly you can lie," Jay spoke a few moments later, commenting on his friend's flawless lie.
"Eh," Bree shrugged, "sometimes the information isn't useful at a certain point of time! So Lying temporarily fixes that!"
"Strangely true."
"What're you going to do when she comes back again? I can't keep sending her on a wild goose chase Jay!" Bree said in exasperation, her tone oozing with it.
"I don't know yet," Jay grunted, standing up and looking around the room for anything that could help him. "I'll figure something-"
"She's coming again!" Bree interrupted him, amber eyes widening, how was he going to get out of this one?"
Jay looked around for anything that could help him and he caught sight of a small leaf in Bree's hair through his visor which gave him an idea. "Well It's not perfect like I wanted it to be…" he mumbled to himself, walking around Brees chair to the front.
"What's not perfect?" Bree asked in confusion, taking off her sunglasses and putting them on top of her head.
"Nothing, I need your help, grab my hands," Jay grunted, offering his hands to his friend, palms up.
"Uh, okay?" Bree said but complied easily, willing to help him in any way possible.
Jay waited for a moment and Bree obediently took his hands before the medic pulled the white mechanic jumpsuit clothed genius to her feet, inwardly thanking StarClan that her spinal adjustment device left her with the ability to maintain her balance, so all he had to do was hold her upright. As Willow stepped into the room, he put his rushed and ridiculous plan into action. Jay swiftly leaned forward and pressed his lips to Bree's.
Willow froze as she entered the room, shellshocked.
Bree's amber eyes had widened in surprise and shock, still slightly leaning back with her fingers barely brushing Jay's shoulders, obviously, she hadn't been expecting the kiss either. But as Willow stood frozen, Bree got over the shock and relaxed, resting her hands on his upper arms and closing her amber eyes, leaning into the contact.
Willow made a few unintelligible noises, none of which were audible, as she tried to speak, to say anything, anything at all.
Cynthia emerged, having watched the commotion from where she and Leon were with Holly and a few of the other Thunder Division members. "Come on Willow, Molly's looking for you," she said gently, blue eyes twinkling as she guided the stunned Medic away from the scene, "River Division will be leaving soon and you really don't want to be left behind."
XD :D XD :D XD :D XD :D XD :D XD :D XD
Jay and Bree broke apart a moment later, Bree stunned and not quite believing that it had just happened, while Jay was as calm and grumpy as usual. "There's something in your hair," Jay grunted, pulling the small mistletoe leaf from his friend's hair, a slight smirk spreading across his face.
"Seriously?" Bree breathed before she started giggling, "Of course! That was your scraped together plan wasn't it?"
"Yeah, of course, and Cynthia's arrival couldn't have been more perfect."
"So what exactly was supposed to be perfect?" Bree asked, gripping his upper arms in a gentle grip as she adjusted her balance just a hair.
Jay shrugged a bit sheepishly and he mumbled his answer, almost embarrassed to say it, "your first kiss."
Bree blushed and she laughed, "of course you," she put emphasis on the word 'you', "would be the one to remember that I had a goal of not being kissed till I turned eighteen!" (I totally just realized that in the main story Bree is almost twenty! :O Cause it's nearly August in the main story(rewrite version) and Bree's birthday is December 25th, so she's almost twenty years old! XD And yes, her birthday is on Christmas :D)
Jay shrugged, "just one of your strange quirks." He shifted a little uncomfortably, still holding her upright and not really comfortable with taking his friend's first kiss without her permission, apparently girls thought it was some kind of heart breaking thing.
"If it makes you feel better," Bree smiled at him, amber eyes softening, "I don't mind having it with you."
The tension in Jay's shoulders vanished and they dropped from the tense position he had been in before. "Well, I'm glad you're not all upset about it."
"How can I be upset when I can't think of anyone better to have given it to me?" Bree shrugged her shoulders lightly.
Jay looked at her, studying her through his visor, "we're just friends, right?" he asked, leaning a little closer to her.
Bree smiled, "Of course," and she mimicked his action.
