Sapphire's Confession

'Three Moons! I'm so nervous, what if she says no? What if I make a bad impression? Would this Who in our friendship? Or make things awkward between us?' All these thoughts were racing through my mind.

I looked down at my talons and fiddled with my necklace nervously. I took a deep breath as I slowly approached Nightwatcher. She was cheating quietly with Tempest and Ermine.

I slowly approached them as I whispered something into Nightwatcher's ear and she nodded. I motioned for her to follow me and we went into a small clearing of trees where no one would hear us.

"W-what was I-it you wanted t-to tell me F-Fire?" Nightwatcher asked, with a curious look on her face. I blushed and lowered my head, "Three Moons! She's so cute!" I thought with a mental squeal.

I eventually regained my composure and with all of the courage that I could muster, I just spit it out.

"Do you want to go on a date with me Nightwatcher?" I spluttered out. It was silent for what felt like ours, then I was tackled by a widely grinning Nightwatcher.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I would love to go out with you Sapphire!" She exclaimed with a wide smile and squeal of excitement. I smiled wildly as well, she said yes! BEST. DAY. EVER! I thought with a mental squeal.

We were both smiling widely when we went back to the others. Lightseaker was the one who looked up when we approached. She smiled widely and bounded over to us.

"So you asked her?" She asked, I nodded and she smiled widely. I blushed a deep scarlet as I told Light my answer.

"I told her alright! And she said yes!" I whisper shouted. And Lightseaker grinned even wider.

SAPPHIRE

"Wow! Night, when did you lean how to glide from trees? It's sooooo FUN!" I yelled, we had been Tree-gliding for a few hours.

"So... What are we going to do after this?" I asked, as I looked up at Nightwatcher with a warm smile, we had taken a break to catch our breath, we were now sitting in a really really tall tree, and lucky for us... the sun was just beginning to set.

"Three Moons! The sunset is so gorgeous!" I exclaimed cheerfully, I was resting my head on Nightwatcher's shoulder.

"Hay, Sapphire. Sapphire. C'mon wake up. It's late we should probably be heading back now." I slowly opened my eyes to see that it was already dark. With a surprised yelp, I quickly scrambled away from Nightwatcher my face heating up in embarrassment.

"I'm s-sorry... I didn't mea-" but Nightwatcher pulled me into a tight and comforting embrace.

"I really had fun today. And... I would want to spend more time with you Nightwatcher. I-I l-love you!" I said, quietly mumbling the last part. But apparently, Nightwatcher heard me.

"I-I love you to Sapphire, and I had a lot of fun with you today. There's still a lot that I don't know about you, and even Ermine to. I want to learn more about you both." I smiled warmly up at her and I rested my head on her shoulder and we made our way back to where Ermine and the others were waiting.
