A moment of silence for all the lost kits. (Hollykit, Larchkit, Mosskit, Wishkit, Hopekit, Finchkit, Nightkit, Mistkit, Willowkit, Badgerfang, and the list goes on.)

Oh... New order! (Yet again...) Shypaw, Flamepaw, Eaglepaw, Volepaw.

Shypaw's POV

"Flamepaw?" Shypaw spun around. Light filtered in through the roof and hit his soft ginger pelt.

"Shypaw. How's it going?" His voice was calm and full of warmth. Shypaw hid her excitement.

"Good. What about you?" She sat down as Flamepaw padded closer.

"Oh, y'know," he said casually, "Rosepaw now has a fear of water, and Eaglepaw's the same. He's being nicer to Rosepaw now. Palepaw has been helping me hunt."

"Oh." Shypaw looked at the tom as he sat down. Her excitement faded into hurt. "I thought she only talked to Witheredpaw and Rosepaw."

"Not anymore. She's been talking to everyone and all the time, lately." Flamepaw stood up again. He padded closer. "It can get really annoying sometimes." The boards creaked as he walked even closer.

Whispering, he dragged his tail lightly across her back, "I missed you."

Shypaw's head shot up. She began to purr. "I missed you too." She looked at him. With a playful glint in her eyes, she spoke a little louder, "And I believe we had a game to finish." Flamepaw's eyes showed his surprise as Shypaw shot up and tackled him, pinning him to the floor.

"I win!" Triumph filled Shypaw's voice.

Flamepaw grinned. "You didn't warn me..." he whined. Shypaw leaned in closer to him.

"Your enemies aren't going to warn you in battle, now are they?" She smiled.

Flamepaw tensed his muscles and pushed up with all his strength. Shypaw squeaked in surprise as he now had her pinned.

He's gotten stronger.

"Now who's winning?" Flamepaw laughed. Shypaw glared at him.

As Flamepaw continued to laugh at her, Shypaw relaxed.

"Giving up so easily?" Flamepaw had a questioning look in his eyes. Shypaw said nothing as his grip loosened. She bolted away from him.

He fell on the floor. "Wha..."

She laughed at him and ran to the other side of the nest. "Can't catch me!"

Flamepaw's POV

I wish this would never end.

Flamepaw was laying on his back next to Shypaw. He had chased her around the nest for quite a while. He had eventually caught up to her. He had been out of breath while she was still laughing.

"What do you think Starclan is like?" Shypaw's voice broke the silence.

"Hmm?" Flamepaw looked at her. He hadn't been paying attention.

"What do you think Starclan is like?" Shypaw asked again, a hint of annoyance in her voice. She sat halfway up to look at him.

"I suppose it's always warm there, so you never feel cold." He trailed off.

Shypaw rolled her eyes. "Not like that." She lay back down. "I mean what do you think it feels like to be a Starclan cat?"

Flamepaw wondered. "I don't know."

"I think it's peaceful." A wind blew through the nest and Flamepaw felt Shypaw's soft fur against him.

"It's getting cold." Flamepaw felt her nod. The sun was beginning to set.

"I should probably be heading home." This time Flamepaw nodded. Neither of them moved. Neither wanted to leave.

Eventually, Shypaw stood up. Flamepaw followed.

"This was fun." Flamepaw looked at her.

"Yep." Shypaw's voice was wistful. He took her in. She was a small, thin cat. She had thick black fur. Flamepaw looked into her eyes.

When Shypaw noticed she ducked her head. "I know they look weird, I don't need everyone saying that."

Flamepaw shook his head.

"Look at me." Reluctantly, Shypaw brought her head back up. Her right eye was a piercing blue color, while the other was a light red.

"There's nothing wrong with them." Shypaw's ears perked up.

"You mean, you're fine with them?" Flamepaw nodded. She smiled.

After a long silence, Flamepaw spoke up.

"I better get going then, Dawnpelt's going to start wondering where I'm at."

"Yeah." Shypaw stood up. "We should do this again sometime." And with that she darted out of the twoleg nest and into the fading daylight.

Flamepaw stared at the spot she had stood for a long time. Finally, he turned around and trotted towards home.

Yeah, he thought. We should.

The drama! The romance! The rule-breaking!

Hope you guys liked the chapter! So sorry for the long wait. I promise to update before next Wednesday. And if I don't, well you guys can come up with that.

I just love writing romantic scenes. (Jk) I suck at it. Any and all advice is welcome.

*dances*

Remember, next chapter is probably going to be Eaglepaw... But I don't know. So... Yeah...
