Ok now THIS one is the sucky one, I'm sure. But bear with me here...I tried!

Chapter Three:

"Fawnspots!" Rainingstar called out, feeling a bit nettled as she always did when she first wakes up. "Fawnspots!"

"I'm here," the sorrel she-cat replied as she walked up to her leader calmly. A familiar white tom was with her.

"Cloudsky, I don't believe that I called you over too," Rainingstar snapped. He stopped in his tracks.

"It's ok," Fawnspots said soothingly, shooting a glare at Rainingstar. "I think that whatever she has to say to me, you can hear too."

"Well I'm leader and I wanted to speak with you alone."

Cloudsky dipped his head and left. Fawnspots sighed. "What?" Her tone was impatient.

"Do not speak to as such. I'm your leader," Rainingstar hissed. Fawnspots stared back. The two she-cats were about the same age and they hadn't really known each other much.

"Now, I hear you haven't been training Tigerpaw lately," she said slowly.

Fawnspots replied, "I told you I was taking him out yesterday didn't I?" Her eyes darted around, obviously looking for someone.

"Look at me," Rainingstar commanded. Fawnspots sighed again and did so with a glare. "Now pay attention. You did tell me you were taking him out yesterday."

"See?"

"Didn't you hear me?" the she-cat said irritably. "You told me you were going to do so. That doesn't mean you actually did it."

Fawnspots opened her mouth and then shut it.

"There's nothing to say Fawnspots. Now, I don't know if you and Cloudsky-"

"You can't meddle with my life!" Fawnspots cried out desperately.

"I'm not going to! Be silent!" she snapped.

Fawnspots did so.

"Now, listen. I hope you understand that Cloudsky has three kits and a mate-"

"But he loves me more," Fawnspots said in a haughty tone.

Her leader shrugged. "I cannot be the judge of that. But I doubt he can love you more than his own kits. And you shouldn't neglect Tigerpaw no matter what."

"But he's almost at warrior status!" she complained. "I mean, he was training before Larchpaw because he had gotten injured during the fox attack."

"And he deserves to be a warrior soon," Rainingstar said. "You shouldn'y stop him because of your selfishness."

"Me being selfish? Your the one trying to stop me from loving Cloudsky!"

"What will his kits think when they find out that their father is having an affair with some other cat!" Rainingstar hissed.

"So what about his kits," Fawnspots snorted. "I don't like his kits anyways. They favor their mother. All of them are annoying."

"And if I tell him that?" she threatened.

Fawnspots' eyes darkened. "You wouldn't. I don't want to speak with you anymore." As Fawnspots stalked away with her tail held up high, Rainingstar had to stop herself from ripping Fawnspots to pieces. She snarled and slashed her claws a bit piece of wood.

"Is there something wrong...?" Desertscale blinked as she watched her leader and friend attack the wood.

"Nothing." Rainingstar knew who she should discuss this with. And as much as she thought her deputy should know, she knew it wouldn't be right.

"Dawn patrol just came back. Whitemuzzle reports that they had found a badger den but its scent was stale. He wants to know if they should pack it up with dirt."

Rainingstar glanced over at the black tom with the white muzzle that was namesake, who was near the fresh-kill pile. "Yes, tell him to pack it up with dirt. But take some crowfood and bury it in there too. That way, if the badger does return, it won't scent the cat scent and go after us."

"Good idea." Desertscale went over to speak to Whitemuzzle while Rainingstar went to the nursery. She saw the cat she was looking for there, and thankfully, the other cats were gone.

"Hello," she purred. "Where are the other queens?"

The queen looked up at her leader and smiled. "They're taking their kits out for a walk."

"When are yours due?"

"Redclaw says not anytime soon yet. I just got pregnant after all." The she-cat licked her pelt happily.

Rainingstar nodded and looked around her eyes narrowed. She lowered her voice. "Listen, can I talk to you about Cloudsky? And Fawnspots?"

"Cloudsky and Fawnspots? What do you..."

"Shh..." Rainingstar looked around once again. "Listen Runningbrook, I know Cloudsky's mate is Birdbeak. But yesterday, Tigerpaw had informed me that Fanwspots hasn't been spending anytime with training him. She's been with Cloudsky."

The silver queen's eyes widened. "Are you sure you mean Birdbeak's mate Cloudsky? Or maybe there's another one that you and I don't know about?"

"Yes that one!" Rainingstar snapped quietly. Her eyes darted around, hoping that no one was eavesdropping.

Runningbrook murmured quietly, "I was just kidding Rainingstar. And obviously Birdbeak doesn't know about this. Do you think he really likes Fawnspots?"

"I sure don't," Rainingstar muttered. "Why have they suddenly taken a liking to each other?"

"It happens now and then," Runningbrook shrugged. "I wonder if Goldenpaw has noticed..."

Rainingstar blinked. "What do you mean?"

"Well as you know, Goldenpaw is very close to both her parents. I think that if anyone knows, it would be her. She's very keen and watchful, that one."

"I suppose your right."

"Right about what?" Rainingstar whirled around. It was Birdbeak.

"Nothing," Rainingstar said, hoping she sounded casual.

Forestkit and Yewkit poked their heads in.

"Hi Rainingstar!" Yewkit squeaked.

"Good morning Yewkit," Rainingstar said.

Birdbeak stepped into the nursery, her kits following her. "So what were you two talking about?"

"Her kits," Rainingstar replied. "We were discussing mentoring and names. She said she shouldn't choose names without Whitemuzzle and I agreed with her."

"Oh I see." Rainingstar sent a silent thanks to StarClan for sending her the excuse.

Rainingstar said hastily, "I have to go see if the dawn patrol is back yet." She dipped her head and quickly padded towards her den entrance, which was where the patrol was standing.

"What's the news, Whitemuzzle?"

The dark tom replied, "Everything's been quiet so far."

"Too quiet," a voice behind them said darkly.

"Redclaw, you scared us!" Whitemuzzle exclaimed. "Why do you keep coming to Rainingstar anyways? Is she sick?"

"I wonder so myself," the leader muttered.

Tawnyfur, a golden-brown she-cat who was in the dawn patrol, gave him a sharp glance. "Whitemuzzle, don't be foolish. Does our leader sound sick?"

Redclaw said hastily, "Rainingstar just wants me to report to her everyday."

She blinked. What a lie... "Really, I don't recall doing so," she snapped, not wanting to get caught up in his lies and this situation. "What do you want Redclaw?"

"I just wanted to check up on you," he said defensively. "Being leader must be stressful."

"Well I'm fine. Go to you business Redclaw." She didn't like the tension that filled the hair everytime they were near each other.

Redclaw looked down. "Actually..."

"What?"

"I need to talk to you about. StarClan has sent me a dream..."
