Author's Notes: Just flying through chapters here, aren't we? Mostly since these PoV chapters of a character pick up wherever the previous one left off, so having a switch in protagonist every hundred words isn't very severe.
Flickerflight and Petalcloud were seated near the warriors' den, sharing tongues.
"I can't believe he said that!" Petalcloud mewed worriedly, her blue gaze flitting across camp to Darkflame and Brokenshade.
Flickerflight sighed. "He wants us to become mates, but I don't know if I'm ready."
Petalcloud frowned; the silver tabby flicked her tail on Flickerflight's back.
"Hopefully he'll come around, but-" Petalcloud began to purr quietly.
'What's so funny?'' Flickerflight muttered.
"Well- there are is another tom padding after you, you know-"
She better not-
Petalcloud broke off, whiskers twitching as she snickered.
"Who is it?" Flickerflight rolled her eyes.
"Wrensong, you mouse-brain!" Petalcloud snickered.
Well, know that I think about it...Oh, StarClan...
Flickerflight felt her face getting warmer.
"Oh, look! There he comes now!" Petalcloud whispered, her mew broken by laughter.
Wrensong had entered ThunderClan camp, flower clamped between his jaws, and was padding over to where the she-cats were sitting.
Did he bring me a flower? That's- sweet- oh no, Darkflame's over there- Flickerflight fretted.
Before she could say anything, Wrensong was in front of her.
"Uh- hi, Flickerflight," Wrensong mumbled around the flower, paws shuffling.
Is my pelt warming, or is that just the heat?
"Hi, Wrensong," Flickerflight mewed, ignoring Darkflame's glare.
"I brought you a flower.." Wrensong placed the flower at Flickerflight's paws.
'Oh, thank you!" Flickerflight pulled the flower to her and held it between her paws.
Flickerflight's ears pricked as Darkflame and Brokenshade stalked over.
Wrensong saw them coming, and after excusing himself, bounded to the fresh-kill pile.
Smart of him to leave. Flickerflight thought bitterly, as Darkflame's going to make this into a big deal.
Darkflame stopped in front of her and Flickerflight heard Petalcloud sigh.
"What's this?" he hissed, tail-tip flicking to indicate the flower.
"Wrensong gave it to me-" Flickerflight muttered, sweeping her tail over her paws.
"I'm tired of playing this game with you, Flickerflight!" the massive tom growled.
"Game? What ga-" Flickerflight was interrupted.
"These disagreements we get into, and you ''not being ready'' when you just prefer Wrensong and Petalcloud to me!'' Darkflame leaned closer.
Petalcloud stood up and pushed her way between Darkflame and Flickerflight.
"Now, look here," the silver tabby hissed, "Flickerflight is my best friend, and you being a jealous bee-brain won't change that!"
Darkflame rolled his eyes. "You have until morning to choose between me and Wrensong. Got it?"
Flickerflight lifted her chin. "Fine."
