Hello! Once again back! I think that as well as the chapters with multiple POVs telling different stories I might also do these smaller chapters with one POV in, like 'I Remember'.

SunKatt: Thank you once again! Here we have a Briarlight chapter to finish the mini-story, and the evil Nightcloud part was one of my favourite parts of the chapter. I have definitely got a full plan for Nightcloud (almost) and I do think Feathertail would be a nice friend for her. Have you ever seen the Willow MAP on Youtube? It's a Night x Feather MAP, but it's still pretty good.

Now on with the chapter!

Briarlight POV

I was mostly sitting around doing nothing when I heard the knock at the door. It was my birthday, and school had finished for the day. Only about half an hour ago though. Ivypool and Brindleshade were out practising archery in the gym, and I was trying to relax and recover from double maths. Ivypool had given me some books for my birthday, and Brindleshade had given me a new set of pens. That may seem a bit boring, but I go through pens quickly by getting distracted and doodling with them. I like pens.

I slid off the bed and brushed my skirt down, smoothing out a few creases. I walked over to the door, and was kind of surprised to see Jayfeather, smiling happily.

"Oh hey Jayfeather!" I chirped, moving aside to let him in.

"Hiya Briarlight. Happy birthday!" he replied, passing a box wrapped carefully in colourful paper with a silver ribbon.
"Aww, thank you!"

I sat down on the bed and Jayfeather joined me.

"Can I open it?" I asked like a five-year old.

He laughed. "Of course!"

I undid the ribbon then began carefully tearing off the paper. In two hours we were having a small party in Cinderheart's room to celebrate, but I knew Jayfeather liked seeing people open his presents in private. Well not seeing but you get what I mean.

Inside was another box, brand hidden. I slowly opened the lid and gaped at what was inside.

No Way

-FLASHBACK-

"Hey Jayfeather do you ever go running?" I asked as we were sat on the hill together.

"I usually run to chase after Foxleap, and that gives me enough exercise." he replied with a smile.

I laughed. "Do you ever listen to music while running?"

"Usually the reason I'm chasing after Foxleap is because he stole my earphones."

I began laughing again, even if I wasn't really getting straight answers. "Seriously though?"

"Sometimes I listen while doing my homework and stuff, but I never really get many opportunities to go running. Except for when I used to have wired earphones. They made a really annoying thumping sound whenever my feet touched the ground. I'm glad I have wireless ones now."

"Oh my gosh, you're so lucky. I run often and I'm stuck with wired ones. And not to mention my trainers and dying so there's old fabric banging against the sides and…"

-FLASHBACK-

I thought I had just rambled on and on and he hadn't listened, but clearly he still had the patience.

"You didn't. No way…"

But inside the box was a brand new pair of trainers, sleek and stylish, and a small box tucked in the corner revealed the latest model of wireless earphones.

"Oh my gosh Jayfeather! You're spoiling me...these must've cost so much…" I felt myself starting to maybe cry with happiness.

"But Briarlight, I love you, and I would do anything for you."

He stood up. "Seeing Lionblaze and Berrynose with Cinderheart and Honeyfern after they were kidnapped made me realise I'd never want anything like that to happen to you. I care about you, Briarlight, I really do."

I felt tears rolling down my cheeks, and not because of the gifts anymore.

"I know I've not really paid much attention to you, and not had much time to be with you, but the times I spend alone with you are the happiest times, and I want that to happen more often. So, please, forgive me because I love you, and I want you to be by my side. Forever."

I stood up and rushed into him, hugging him. He was taken by surprise at first, but he soon wrapped his arms around me. I never wanted to leave him. I looked back up at him, even though we were around the same height.

"I never want to leave you. I love you too Jayfeather."
