Chapter!

Berrynose POV
I didn't remember the Halloween Dance until it was five days away. Shoot. I had to ask Honeyfern out fast and pray that some other lover hadn't already taken her. Which was highly unlikely seeing as she had to accept first.
It was a Saturday, and Halloween was on the Thursday, meaning we only had a half day of lessons for them to get set up when it came. I was grateful for that, considering that meant I got to skip double maths and extra hours off before the dance, but with Toadstep and Mousewhisker in my room, I would be forced to complete the geography homework I'd been putting off. Damn.
Standing outside my room, I pulled out my phone and tapped Poppyfrost's number before deciding against it and instead clicking Hazeltail. Poppy used to have a crush on me too, and asking her where her sister was so I could ask her out wouldn't be the best for us as friends.
Berryboi: Hay sis were r u its urgent
Berryboi: where*
Berryboi: it's*
Berryboi: Pls its URGENT!
Hazel: Wat now
Hazel: Also pls add me back to the Thunder Group Chat cuz I left by accident
Berryboi: Sure but wheres Honeyfern
Hazel: Lol have u only just realised you need to ask her out
Berryboi: Yus now tell me wehre is she!
Berryboi: where*
Hazel: Only if you add me back to the Thunder chat
Berryboi: FINE
Growling in frustration I added her back to the chat then returned.
Berryboi: Tell me pls
Hazel: I last saw her by the fountain out the back. She's reading, I think
Berryboi: Thx
Hazel: Np
I returned my phone to my pocket then ran to the elevator. I pushed the G button and it started descending, only to stop on Shadow floor for two Shadow boys to get on. They got off at the same floor as me then disappeared off somewhere. I tried to walk as briskly as I could towards the far doors, just in case a teacher was hanging around. This eventually turned into a strange jog, but I got to the doors alright. I exited then winced.
Quite a few people were outside. There was Cloudtail sitting on a bench and scrolling through his phone, Mothwing was on a bench opposite, reading. An unknown person was rolling down the hill on the left and so many others were just hanging around talking. True to Hazeltail's word, Honeyfern was sitting on the edge of the fountain with a book.
I walked over to her, trying to control my breathing. This was going to be awkward with so many people around. I thought of a plan to ask her elsewhere, and decided that was the best way to go. She looked up as I arrived and smiled. She looked so beautiful, I was so happy she was my girl.
"Hey Honey, how are you?" I asked, sitting down beside her.
"I'm good thanks, Berry. How about you?" she replied.
"I'm doing fine, just wanted to know if you'd come with me for a moment."
She looked curious, but came with me anyway. My hand slipped into hers and she took, walking with me leading.
Thinking quickly, I lead her up the hill and towards the edge where it slopes down again. The sea is visible, sparkling prettily in the light. Honeyfern shook her head and smiled.
"This is one of my favourite places to sit and just watch the sea. It's so beautiful". She sighed.
"Just like you." I teased and she giggled.
"I'll have to show you this at sunset. All the colours on the waves...it's amazing. Especially now we can stay to see it now that the days are shorter."
"I'd love to. I'm sure it's amazing. Hey, Honeyfern, I was also curious to know if you wanted to go to the Halloween Dance with me?"
She laughed again. "I've been waiting for you to ask me." I reddened, and she laughed even more.
"Kidding! Kidding, don't worry. And I accept."
She turned to leave, but as she went she leant closer and whispered "I'd wait forever to be with you."
"And I'd wait longer."
Mousewhisker POV
They can't see me from here, but I can see them, and dear Stars it's torturous.
I've come to accept that Berrynose and Honeyfern are possibly at the top of my Cute Couples list and I'm jealous, I guess. Just putting it out there. It's not like I have a crush on Honeyfern, far from it actually, it's just I'm having my own girl issues right now and seeing my brother having the time of his life with one ain't helping.
So me and Hollyleaf had some issues ever since the time I recorded her screeching about the laws of physics, and the amount of random arguments is too high for us to continue as a 'couple'. I think asking her to the Halloween Dance would provide some dangerous results and colourful language. It's a shame really, I really thought we could be something more…
And now I'm stuck without a date for the dance. Great.
"Uhhh...Mousewhisker? Can I ask why you are crouched behind a bush?"
I spun around and almost fell backwards. This was not who I was expecting. Sleek and shiny dark grey hair streaked with white and beautiful amber eyes. And too damn pretty. I haven't seen her in a while, but I remember her name. And she remembers mine. The heat rose to my cheeks.
"Oh...hey Minnowtail. I was...just standing here when Berrynose and his girlfriend arrived and I had to run or it would get awkward." I explained, telling mostly the truth.
"Oh...okay? Um, anyway, I saw you and just wanted to say hi…"
She blushed and mine intensified. "O-oh...nothing wrong with that."
There was an awkward silence.
"Hey, Minnowtail? Would you like to go grab a drink somewhere?" I asked finally.
She smiled. "I'd love to."
