A/N: This is a request from LunaNight9. They've requested that this takes place after Sandstorm's death (she didn't die, but you know, when she does).

Disclaimer: I still don't own Warriors.

I shuddered, fighting for breath as another spasm seized my body. Leafpool brought me some damp moss to drink from. I tried to lap at it, but my head flopped to the ground. Leafpool placed some leaves of catmint in front of me, but I pushed them away with my muzzle.

"Sandstorm, you have to eat the catmint. It'll-"

"No." Ignoring Leafpool's startled look, I continued. "Seasons have passed since Firestar's death. It's time for me to join him." I stopped, gasping for breath.

"You can't! Please Sandstorm, just eat the catmint!" Leafpool frantically pushed the catmint closer. "Please! I won't let you die!"

I closed my eyes. I had always known that one day I would join him, and today was that day. Before, I had been scared of what would happen. But now that it was happening, that I was dying, I didn't feel scared at all. A strange calm swept over me, and I let out a soft sigh and allowed the darkness to take over.

"Sandstorm."

I opened my eyes, shaking my head to wake myself. Where am I? This doesn't smell like the elder's den… Suddenly a familiar scent clouded my senses, and the events of the last few days came over me. I sat straight up. The first thing I saw was a pair of emerald green eyes staring back at me.

"Firestar!" I darted forward, pressing my muzzle against his in absolute happiness.

"I've waited so long for you, my love." he murmured, gently nuzzling me back. I purred loudly, causing my body to shake. Firestar licked my face, softly mewing about how much he loved and missed me.

Suddenly without warning, I broke into tears.

"I- I missed you so much! Why did you have to leave me?" I sobbed. Firestar pressed his side against mine.

"It's not like I did it on purpose…" he replied. I let out a soft huff.

"Stupid furball." I purred, giving him a nudge with one paw. He stood and draped his tail over my shoulders.

"Come, Sandstorm. We can spend some more time alone later. You should come talk to everyone! They've missed you too." He gently brushed away my tears.

"That sounds like a great idea." I let Firestar guide me through the unfamiliar forest. I was excited to get to see everyone again, but… Getting to be with Firestar again, it's like a dream come true. It is a dream come true!

I hurried forward so I could walk next to my mate. I twined my tail with his and rested my head on his shoulder as we walked.

"I love you, Sandstorm… and now that you're here…" Firestar stopped. I stopped and looked at him.

"… We can be together again." I licked his cheek and purred.

Now that we're in StarClan, we can be together… forever.

A/N: Shorter than I'd like… whatever. I could've finished this earlier, but I got distracted. *sigh* Anyways, PM me if you have a request! Canon couples only, for now. R&R!
