"We will discuss this matter later, Firestar!" Leopardstar hissed and walked away beckoning with her tail for her warriors to follow.

As Stormfur passed by Squirreltail he said, "I still love you, I will come tomorrow at dawn and meet you by the Moonpool." Squirrelflight barely nodded but she felt and excited flutter in her stomach about meeting Stormfur again.

"Leopardstar doesn't believe us. But, you all fought bravely. We must be prepared for an attack from RiverClan, though. I would also like to thank Crowfeather for helping us. But, why were you here, Crowfeather?" Firestar leapt on the Highlegde and began his speech.

Crowfeather shifted his feet nervously, "I was coming to see Cinderpelt, Barkface said he wanted to make sure Leafpool was coming to the next half-moon meeting at the Moonpool."

"Well of course she's coming!" Firestar exclaimed. "She's a medicine cat after all." Crowfeather quickly dashed away.

The next day, Squirrelflight left at the crack of dawn for the Moonpool. The sky was a blend of pinks and blues and Squirrelflight watched it for a moment enjoying its beauty. Then, she set off again. She finally reached the Moonpool, it was a soft silvery blue and there was a magical presence about it. She waited for a little when she heard a rustling in the bushes.

"Looking for me?" Stormfur's voice whispered in Squirrelflight's ear. Squirrelflight whirled around and saw her beloved cat. She purred and rubbed against him.

"So, what's going on between you and Brook?" Squirrelflight asked icily.

"Well, she's going to have my kits," Stormfur said sheepishly.

"What!" Squirrelflight yowled. "I thought you loved me!"

"I do!" Stormfur reassured her. "It was an accident."

"Where is she now?" Squirrelflight snapped.

"Living on the island we use for Gatherings," Stormfur replied. "Please, as soon as I can, I'll get her out of here."

"Fine. I still love you Stormfur," Squirrelflight softened.

"And I love you," Stormfur agreed.

"I'm tired, I should get back to my camp," Squirrelflight said, yawning. Stormfur stared after her as she left the Moonpool.
