"...Huh? Who's there?"

"Calm down, Larkflight! It's just me."

"...Oh. Hey, Scarpaw!"

"What are you doing out here?"

"Just thinking."

"..."

"..."

"Larkflight?"

"Yes, Scarpaw?"

"There's...something I want to tell you."

"Really? There's something I wanted to tell you, too."

"Oh...okay. You go first."

"Okay..."

"What is it?"

"Well...Hailstorm asked me to be his mate!"

"Wh-what?"

"And I said yes! To the tom of my dreams! Isn't it exciting, Scarpaw?"

"..."

"Scarpaw?"

"Oh...that's...that's great, Larkflight!"

"Scarpaw, what's wrong? You look upset..."

"N-nothing's wrong! I'm...I'm happy for you! Both of you!"

"Scarpaw, you're my best friend. I know you better than...oh, StarClan. That's what you were going to ask me, wasn't it?"

"What? N-no! Of course not—"

"Oh, Scarpaw, I'm sorry! I didn't know—"

"No, Larkflight, it's okay! I..."

"Scarpaw—"

"I...I have to go!"

"No, Scarpaw, come back! Scarpaw? Scarpaw!"

"..."

"Oh, StarClan...what have I done?"
