Disclaimer-if I did own Warriors, Cinderpelt would be a jumping bean

"Firestar!" Sandstorm called as Firestar and Spottedleaf made their way back in to camp with their prey, as soon as Firestar was fully inside the camp,
Sandstorm rushed over to nuzzle him lovingly, and Firestar turned his head to Spottedleaf just in time to see a gleam of sadness and jealousy in Spottedleaf's eyes, but Spottedleaf rushed off to Cinderpelt's den before Firestar could be sure he saw it.
'''''''''''''
Spottedleaf raced in to Cinderpelt's den to find her giggling to herself,
"Cinderpelt?", Spottedleaf said, quit puzzled, "are you okay?", "just fine" Cinderpelt said as she shifted her herbs around, "there's just so much to do, I can't help but laugh at myself" the dark gray she-cat said,
"Okay, can I help you in anyway?" Spottedleaf asked, "Now don't act like you came here to be a medicine cat aging, don't you dare get my hopes up,"
Cinderpelt sighed comically, "Look, I know you're sad, I can see it in your eyes, now what it is", Spottedleaf sighed and looked at the ground,
"Firestar" "what about him?" "he loves Sandstorm" Spottedleaf said as she raised her head to revile once warm amber eyes clouded with pain and sorrow,
"tom trouble, I swear that's what all the she-cats are coming to my den for this days, Brightheart can't even come around anymore to say hi" Cinderpelt said crossly, "oh, I'm very sorry about that, and if there's anything I could do to help, I would, bu-", "if you want to help, you can come visit me everyday" Cinderpelt said happily,
Spinning on her pads, she lifted her forepaws in the air, "Spottedleaf and Cinderpelt, everyday from now on" Cinderpelt chanted.
''''''''''''
"Spottedleaf?" Firestar said as he entered Cinderpelt's den only to find Cinderpelt with one of her paws up in the air singing happily as she spun around, with Spottedleaf watching her with wide eyes,
"What in Starclan's name are you two doing?" Firestar asked, "Nothing" Cinderpelt said as she stopped her turning and landed back on her paws,
"Spottedleaf," Firestar said turning his green gaze to the dappled warrior, "I have to talk with you", "I'll leave you two alone then" Cinderpelt said as she rushed off to collect more herbs,
"Spottedleaf," Firestar said looking at the ground, "honestly, I don't know if I have more love for Sandstorm, or you, I know I love Sandstorm with all my heart, but whenever I'm around you, it's just, my heart go's faster than Cinderpelt on catmint" "oh Firestar!" Spottedleaf rushed forward and pressed her muzzle lovingly to the top of his head,
Firestar sighed as he pushed away from her, "I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, because if I do love you, it won't be fair to Sandstorm, and if I love Sandstorm, it won't be fair to you" he said as he let his eyes gaze at the ground,
"don't you worry about me," Spottedleaf said, "I just want you to be happy", "and I just want you and Sandstorm to be happy, well, I got to go train Bramblepaw a little before he goes to complain to Goldenflower" Firestar said as he left Cinderpelt's den,
"Well that's just unfair!" Cinderpelt said as she rushed back in, "Firestar needs to know true love when he sees it, I mean, look at Graystripe and Silverstream, they now have two kits in Riverclan, and they are still in love"
"Cinderpelt!" Spottedleaf said, Silverstream was a Riverclan queen, who almost died giving birth to her kits, but the combined effort of Spottedleaf and Cinderpelt kept her away from Starclan to be with the tom and kit's she loved,
"Well he dose" Cinderpelt huffed.

Bramblepaw staked swiftly past bushes to his prey, a plump squirrel was sitting just a little ways off, to busy eating a nut to see the dark tabby,
He pounced upon his prey and gave it a swift bite to the neck to end its struggle, he rushed back to his mentor with the squirrel hanging limply from his jaws,
"Nice, Bramblepaw" Firestar said proudly, "it was nothing" Bramblepaw said as he scraped earth over his prey to come back for later, "now Bramblepaw, hear that" Firestar said turning his eyes to a clump of bracken that was shaking widely,
"I only can't if you think I'm a deaf mouse" the tabby-tom said, suddenly Cloudtail rolled out "Good Job!" the white warrior called back in to the bracken, "thanks" Brightheart, Cloudtail's mate, said as she stepped out,
"What are you two doing out here?" Firstar called, "Firestar," Cloudtail called rushing over to greet his kin, "Brightheart is doing wonderfully with her training" Cloudtail said as he beckoned Brightheart over, Brightheart was attacked by the dogs that killed Bluestar, witch left her with half of her face gone, so Cloudtail made a style of training that, even with only one eye, Brightheart could learn and master,
Brightheart stepped over to her mate and nuzzled him lovingly, "I'm only doing good at it because you're helping me with it, my love" Brightheart purred, "blah" Bramblepaw said "love is gross", "if only you did not have to deal with it" Firestar said, thinking off to his own love troubles, "if only" Firestar whispered to himself,
"Hey Bramblepaw, if you want, and if Firestar will let you, you want to come and watch me and Cloudtail train" Brightheart said turning her green eye to the young apprentice, "Sure!" Bramblepaw said happily as he stepped forward, but he stopped himself, turning his head to his ginger mentor and leader,
"can I Firestar" Bramblepaw asked, "as soon as you get your prey back to camp" Firestar said, amusement shinning his green eyes, "okay" Bramblepaw said as dug up his prey, "I'll back soon" Bramblepaw mumbled around his kill, then he rushed off to camp
'''''''''''
Bramblepaw rushed in the Thunderclan camp to drop off his fresh-kill,
"Bramblepaw" Goldenflower, Bramblepaw's mother, called to him, "yes?" "Have you seen Sandstorm and Cinderpelt, I can't seem to find them" the pale ginger queen asked, "no, but if I find them, I'll tell you" the tabby called as he rushed back out in to the forest
'''''''''''
Spottedleaf stepped gracefully in to the warriors den,
"Spottedleaf" Brackenfur called over to her, "Graystripe told me to go on a hunting patrol while Firestar is out with Bramblepaw, want to come with me?" the golden tom-cat asked, "sure" Spottedleaf said, Brackenfur's eyes shone, "Great!" he called, rushing out of the warriors den and back out in to the camp,
"Hey, Brackenfur, isn't any other cat coming?" Spottedleaf asked as she followed him, "No, I was thinking it could be just you and me" the golden warrior said lightly brushing his pelt to hers, "Come on!" Brackenfur said as he rushed forward, and out in to the forest,
"Okay!" Spottedleaf called as she rushed off after him
''''''''''
"Okay, now try to flip me over" Cloudtail told Brightheart as he tried to keep his eyes locked on the white and ginger she-cat as she swiftly curled him,
"Like this?" Brightheart asked as she slipped under his belly, Cloudtail reared up on his hind paws to avoid his mates paws, but as he did this, Brightheart rammed her tail on his legs, making him fall over on to his back, and before he could recover, Brightheart placed both of her paws on his throat,
"Well done" Firestar said as he watched the display of Brightheart's training, "yes, you did very well" Cloudtail said when his mate had relished him,
"See, if Cloudtail was a enemy warrior, he would be dead right now" Firestar said to his dark tabby apprentice, "yes, Firestar" Bramblepaw said, more intent on watching Brightheart win over Cloudtail in every bit of their training,
"Cloudtail," Firestar said "do you mind if Bramblepaw joined you two, Starclan knows that he needs some training today, and Thunderclan needs more fresh-kill" "of course he can" Cloudtail said after he had got back to his paws,
"You just go and hunt, and don't worry about Bramblepaw, he's in good paws" Brightheart said.
''''''''''
Spottedleaf turned her head swiftly from side to side, 'hunting at sunningrock's was a bad idea', she thought as she wonder around the gray stones, looking for some sort of prey,
"Spottedleaf" Brackenfur called over, "yes?" Spottedleaf called back, "I have to ask you something" the golden tom said rushing up to dappled tortoiseshell
'''''''
Firestar padded to sunningrock's, stopped when he over heard voices, and he looked out of the bushes to see Brackenfur and Spottedleaf,
"I have to ask you something" Brackenfur said, "will-will you be my mate" the tom asked, and Firestar felt a sudden pang of jealousy,
"Oh Brackenfur, no, no" Spottedleaf said, "I can't, I just really can't", "but why not!" Brackenfur squeaked in sadness "because I'm already in love" "but-but" "no buts', I don't love you, because I love Firestar" the dappled warrior said, "but Firestar loves Sandstorm!"
"Alright, alright" Firestar said as he stepped out of his hiding place, "no more of this you two"
"Firestar!" Brackenfur said surprised "when did you get here?" Spottedleaf asked in puzzlement "it does not matter, Brackenfur" Firestar said as he turned to the golden warrior "I think you should get back to camp" "yes Firestar" Brackenfur said, and then he rushed off back to camp,
"Now what was that all about?" Firestar asked, "Nothing, Brackenfur was just asking me something" "and that was" "just because you're clan leader, does not mean you get to know everything" Spottedleaf said, laughter in her amber eyes
''''''''''
Sandstorm paused as she made it to fourtrees, and opened her mouth to taste the air,
Nothing,
She turned and made her way to the Windclan border, she climbed up the small hill, and as soon as she made it up, she pelted in the moor so fast that she did not smell the Thunderclan cat as she followed her in the moor and past.
