A/N: Thanks for reviewing, that like made my day! I got so excited that random strangers had read my story and that they liked it, and I just like had a break down...Thanks again for the reviews, and for the advice. ^^ I took it, and changed the first chapter a little bit. [See if you can guess what I changed xD] Anyway thanks a ton, and don't worry this IS going to turn into a love story. I'm a fluff addict, so I find it difficult to write anything but romance xD

Warriors, the Clans, and any OCs mentioned belong to Erin Hunter. At least I still have Lion, Bear, and Tigress! [Plus the tom that I don't have a name for yet...any suggestions?]

On with the story!

Tigress sighed, practically collapsing on top of her brother. Bear moved at the last second, smirking at his sister's exhausted state.

"What assignment did he give you?" He asked. Musta been a hard one.

"I am to go to Thunderclan tomorrow, get caught 'stealing' prey, and then break for it. Hopefully they'll give chase for the fresh-kill, so I can lead that patrol here, but if they don't, I'll have to go back and-"

"Hold on," He interrupted her. "This sounds like something Lion would do, not tell you to do."

She sighed. "I guess the lazy piece of fox dung doesn't want to do work any more." She said, shrugging.

"I could help you with it, if you want." Bear suggested, sitting down next to his sister, who was sprawled out as if she were dead.

"Nah," She replied. "I've done worse before, I think I can handle it."

"Hm." He thought it over for a moment before he made his proposal. "How about I go along in case there's any dirty work involved, but if there isn't, I will stay hidden in the shadows until you require my assistance."

The striped she-cat rolled her eyes. Her brother probably wasn't going to give up any time soon.

They were back at camp, which was about an hour's walk/run from where she had last seen the tom. It was a pleasant enough place to call home, safely hidden from dangerous animals and sheltered from the weather. It was within a small ravine, surrounded by thick a thick forest. The canopy overheard blocked out most of the moonlight, save for a few dapples of it here and there on the dusty ground. One of these dapples currently had settled over Tigress' eye, forcing her to close it to keep the light away, despite how soft it was.

"Fine." She replied, finally rolling over so that the light wasn't in her eye. "Can I take a nap now? Please?"

"Sure, sis." He mewed, smiling as he went to sit in the middle of their 'camp' to guard.

The entire forest was so bright. Sunlight bathed everything with a golden glow, including her own coat. She looked around. Where was she?

She sat next to a small stream, the bank beneath her not mud but smooth pebbles. She could see tiny fish swimming around in the stream.

Why was she here? And where was 'here'?

In the midst of her questioning herself, there was rustling sound from the ferns around her. She jumped about a tail-length into the air, startled, before she realized it was a cat.

He stepped out, and she gaped. It was the tom she had freed, but he looked...different. More confident, stronger. His bright green eyes were shimmery, and full of pride.

"What are you doing here?" Tigress hissed. "I told you to run away and to never come back."

He shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't know. What are you doing here?" He asked, looking suspicious.

"I..." She hesitated. "I don't know."

"Well then, it seems you have no reason to be mad at me, when you don't even know where you are or why." He chuckled. "Not very nice to be the one without knowledge, huh?"

She growled. "Oh, shut up. You're such a coward."

"Pardon?"

"You didn't put up a fight." She pointed out. "Yesterday."

He blinked at her. After a few moments, he replied, speaking slowly, as if explaining something to a kit.

"You were pinning me down, and looked like you were about to kill me. Even if I had put up a fight, you probably would have killed me."

"No, I wouldn't have." It was out of her mouth before she even realized it.

He looked confused.

"Tigress? Tigress?" A pause. "Tigress! Tigress, get up!" It wasn't the tom speaking-it was Tigress' brother.

Tigress blinked awake, looking confused. "Wha-?" She slurred, eyes sticky with the remnants of her sleep.

Bear gave her a shove. "Wake up, Tigress! We gotta go, like, now!"

She looked up lazily. Above her brother's worried face, she could see the sky. The moon had gone down, and the sun was high in the sky, nearly blinding her.

She shut her eyes and shakily got to her paws. When she was back on her feet and opened her eyes, blinking a lot to adjust, she saw that Bear was already climbing out of the ravine.

She hurried along behind him, scrabbling to get over the rocks and out of the ravine.

She thought about the tom as she followed her brother through the forest. Why had she dreamed about him? Was it just a coincidence, that perhaps thinking of the tom when she fell asleep made her dream of him? But then, why was she still thinking about him in the first place?

She shook her head, running to catch up with Bear. She needed to get the pesky cat out of her head; she had a job to do.

A/N: And again, it's still pretty short. -_- Sorry, but it is a hundred or so words longer than the first one. Anyway, Thanks for reading. Sorry it took me a while to update it, hope you enjoyed this short little chapter. ^_^
