Rosepaw's POV

Well, I think I had had a good life.

"Um… well, I looked at the river and then I fell in. I managed to pull myself out, though." I gabbled. Great, super dead.

Berrynose frowned at something but then his face produced a smile.

"That's good. You're the best apprentice I've ever had and I'm not going to let you go easily." meowed Berrynose. I smiled at him.

As we walked back, I thought about Blackpaw. He really did have nice eyes. I smiled at the thought of him.

I saw Briarpaw racing towards me. Her dark brown fur was covered in oil and her bright amber eyes shone brightly.

"It was great, Rosepaw! Hazeltail didn't see anything and neither did I. Then Hazeltail pushed me into the oily grass and we practiced fighting!" Briarpaw could go on and on.

When we approached camp, I saw Icepaw gazing at my cousin, Dovekit.

And my aunt's eyes made me dream about Blackpaw…

Blackpaw POV

I looked at my mentor. Stormfur was a great mentor. I hated being an apprentice.

"Blackpaw, go and patrol the Thunderclan border."

I slunk off to the river. Then my heart skipped a beat.

There was the most beautiful she-cat in the world. She smelt like roses and mice. She had cream fur and light green eyes. On her head, there was a blue star.

She was a queen. I looked at the lake. There was a large fish. I'd catch that for her.

I put my claws in. I felt the river pull me in. The beauty ran to the end of the river.

"Grab onto the twig!" She screeched.

Her voice was beautiful but there was no time to get caught up in it. I grabbed onto the branch and pulled myself up. I shook my coat.

"Thank you. I'm Blackpaw" I mumbled.

"I'm Rosepaw. There was a Rose before me. She was called Rosetail but she died mysteriously. Aren't you part Thunderclan?" The she-cat meowed.

I shook my head, my black fur bristling in dissappointment. I had hoped she would be an intruding Riverclan Warrior.

"You're Bluestar's grandson, aren't you?" Rosepaw gasped. I smiled. Thunderclan had liked me because of my grandmother.

"That's me. Aren't you half kittypet?" Damn! Not good! I looked at her, searching her face for forgiveness. I didn't find any but I didn't deserve any.

"Yes. My half siblings are completely kitty pet. I'm Dustpelt's granddaughter." Ferncloud's grandchild… I was glad she wasn't offended.

"Oh, yes. The family of idiots." I sneered. Oh dear! I actually liked that family but I always said the wrong thing.

"I wish I hadn't saved you. But your mother is nice so I did her a favour." Rosepaw stated. I flicked my tail in annoyance and I narrowed my eyes.

" At least I know who my father is."

It hurt when she said that but I deserved it. I'm sorry for being cruel, I can be a total Tigerclaw at times. You're the little apprentice that Firestar is impressed by. How's Flamepaw and Icepaw? I saw them at The Gathering. How do you know Mistyfoot?" I asked her.

"Flamepaw and Icepaw are fine. I knew Mistyfoot since I was a kit. She was at my birth. She gave me a bluestar." She gestured to the gem on top of her head."It's a love charm." I smelt a cat. I ran to my territory.

When I entered camp, the grass constantly reminded me of her soft eyes.

So they've both met now.

Review for some drama!!!
