Jayfeather stood in the cave atop the Highledge with Bramblestar discussing the journey that Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Dovewing, and Crane's Wing were about to go on.

"What do you think you'll find in the mountains?" Bramblestar asked.

Jayfeather thought a moment. He didn't know exactly what he expected to find. He was about to speak when he found the couldn't move. Oh no, not again. Bramblestar watched him with concern as he was thrown back into a memory.

Jay's Wing was sunning in a small clearing when he heard his name being called.

"Jay's Wing!" Half Moon bounded into the clearing and skidded to a halt in front of him, casting a cold shadow over him.

But he didn't mind. The bright rays of light continued to fall down from the sky but instead of hitting his pelt, it hit hers. The sun reflected off of her clean white fur giving her a glowing illumination. Her soft kind face looked down at him. Her dark emerald eyes met blue ones. Jay's Wing felt a warm feeling in under his pelt despite the fact the warmth of the sun was being blocked.

"Hey," he greeted.

Half Moon purred and rubbed her head against him. He relaxed at her touch and pressed his own head into hers.

"Want to lie with me?" Jay's Wing asked. "The sun feels great."

Half Moon shook her head. "Get up, lazy bones. I wanted to show you something."

Jay's Wing got to his paws. Half Moon walked backwards slowly as if taunting him into following him. Without knowing what he was doing, Jay's Wing kept up with her movements and followed her through the forest, watching the shadows ripple across her pelt.

The two ran towards the moor. With a flying leap, Half Moon launched herself over the stream that divided the forest and the moorland. She fell a bit short and her paws hit the water, sending a splash. She waded out of the water and shook out her pelt sending tiny droplets of water flying in every direction. She looked back over her shoulder at him. "Coming?"

Jay's Wing took a leap after her. He fell short too but made it farther than she did. Satisfaction flowed through him. He looked at Half Moon who wore a look of mock anger. It soon slipped off her face into one of amusement. She purred and licked some water off his face.

The two began raced across the open ground. Jay's Wing hung back behind Half Moon a bit, watching her legs reach into long strides as she ran. It was like her paws barely touched the grass. Like she was flying.

Half Moon lead him up a ridge. They stopped, breathing hard, at a harsh outcrop.

"Look," she said. And he did. He could see far across the moor. The peaks of the mountains were clear. Sweeping his gaze, he could see the forest in the distance. He could see some twoleg things. He could see many rivers flowing steadily. On this cloud free day, the sun gave everything a beautiful aura.

His gaze fell on Half Moon. She was the most beautiful sight of all. Just like before, the sun illuminated her white pelt once again. But as beautiful as she was, he didn't care. It was her, not her beauty, that captivated him.

Jay's Wing looked deep into her eyes. He leaned over and pressed against her with his eyes closed. She reciprocated.

"Half Moon…" Jayfeather murmured, dazed.

"I don't think StarClan will care if you skip a trip to the Moonpool next half-moon," Bramblestar said, looking confused.

Jayfeather snapped out of his trance. "What? No. That's not what I meant."

"Oh. Did you have a memory flash just now?" Bramblestar asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"It's almost sunset. You haven't moved since sunhigh."

"Oh."

"You didn't answer my question," Bramblestar said. "What do you think you'll find in the mountains?"

"Something so amazing that I don't need to have sight to see its beauty."

Reviews-

Darth Jay- Lots of Half Moon in this one. You really like her, huh? I think she's got at least one more appearance coming up.

.05- Thanks. I don't know what a "scegul" is but if you mean schedule, I usually update this story every day since I finished it a pretty long time ago. If you mean sequel, I've been playing around with an idea but haven't written anything. Glad you're liking the story.
