A/N: Helloooooooooooooooooooo out there! I sincerely hope that you readers have been enjoying By the Power of StarClan, and I hope that you enjoy the new chapter as well! With this, I give you...Firepaw and Spottedleaf! Because I love this couple, and candyapple111 has requested the pairing! I'm sorry candyapple111, but I had to change FireHEART to FirePAW. It just seems to make more sense to me. Which reminds me, please be sure to request the next poem so that I don't have to randomly spurt out poems! Also, mysterys, this is also for you as well.
Warnings: Nothin' much...I think that for every pairing I'm doing, it's gonna switch from the she-cat to the tom...It seems to work out that way very well...
Disclaimer: Yes, I do not own the Warriors series, otherwise, I would hurry and get the next book out, and Medicine Cats would not have love as forbidden!

Spottedleaf X Firepaw – Running Away
Spottedleaf
"Fire alone can save the Clan."
When he came, I knew immediately who StarClan was speaking of.
This flame-colored tom was the fire.
And I was a burning leaf,
caught in the fire's rampage.
This was StarClan's messenger, and he was not to be messed with.
But, nevertheless, Medicine Cats are always attracted to what the cannot have.
Oh Firepaw, how I wish you could be my apprentice.
But alas, you could never be.
Firepaw
The tortoiseshell she-cat, who was she exactly?
And why would my head always turn to her?
She was in my dreams.
And from then on,
I knew that this she-cat would haunt me until business was taken care of.
But what that business was, I had no idea.
Yet anyway, my eyes would flicker to her pelt when she walked by.
But yet, still both of us would run away.
Spottedleaf
Ah...Running away...
That was what seemed to always happen.
If he needed a herb, he would dash away quite quickly.
And even when I was killed, he rushed away to find my killer,
even though I needed taking care of.
Firepaw
I ran away from her,
but that was only because she was a Medicine Cat,
and I a lowly warrior, not blessed by StarClan as she was.
Spottedleaf
I was amazed at his devotion to me.
Even in death,
he loved me.
Was I really that important?
What if I had been a warrior?
What then StarClan?
Why did you choose me as your guide to ThunderClan?
Why me, when I could only run away?
Firepaw
I cried when she was gone.
I mourned her loss.
I miss her pretty pelt.
Her sweet, enticing smell.
Spottedleaf
My sweet, sweet Firepaw.
Does thou not see the one who can be with you?
Little, little Sandstorm,
How devoted she is to you.
Give her a chance, for she deserves it more than I.
Firepaw
As I stand here before Bluestar,
only as Fireheart,
I promise that I shall love you evermore.
I will not forget you, oh brave loyal StarClan guide.
But know this, I will take care of Sandstorm,
as you seem to wish me too.
For she is something I cannot run away from.
-I can only hope that running away is not the only way to live. Running from love is truly a disgrace. For it means that you were never meant to be. But dare you to find a true love, then all shall be well, and love is yours to behold...Even if love waits until hunting with StarClan, love is there for you.

A/N: Yes, poor, poor Spottedleaf. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if she had lived. Or not been a Medicine Cat. Would things have been any different?
Yay! Okay, now many of you may wonder, 'But I didn't see her request in the reviews?!' Well, candyapple111 requested in a review, just on my other story. And I checked the date, so I put hers in the right placement. So there we go! Instant success. I hope you liked it candyapple111!
FW/N: (Fernwhisker Note) Awwww...Firepaw and Spottedleaf...So cute...-sighs-
(Umm...So...Okay...)
