Raccoonstar slept, and was confused when tonight's dream was his deepest secrets rising. He saw his deputy, Moonfire, and looked at her in awe. He knew what Thunderheart saw in her. She was beautiful, her fur shining in the dawn light. He loved her. He would never admit it, but he did. But he saw her eye toward Thunderheart and his eye toward Moonfire. He would never get her. His heart now broken, he cried a single silver tear. No one saw it, but he felt it. Pure sadness all crammed into that single tear. He would have to find another, but his heart would always be for Moonfire. He dreamed of drowning in his own swirling black heartbreak for the rest of the night.

Raccoonstar woke from his dream of swirling blackness. He wiped the tear off of his face, took a deep breath, and went outside. It was a warm greenleaf day, as usual. He searched for a moment for Moonfire, and spotted her with Thunderheart. "Moonfire? Can you come into my den for a moment...alone? I have some-" Raccoonstar paused for a split second, thinking of what to say. "-battle tactics I need to talk to you about." He beckoned her into his den.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow] "Battle tactics?" She knew this wasn't about battle tactics, he was edgy all day, it made her nervous, what had happened, had he lost a life? She slowly stalked into his den, she knew right what was coming, he'd tell her how many lives he had left, and that she should be prepared.
She would miss Raccoonstar, he was a great leader, loyal and understanding, not once had she seen him get out of line or get distracted.
"Yes," she meowed, "I'm listening..." |

"I was thinking. We should come up with a battle tactic for battling IvyClan. IvyClan gained a lot more warriors in the past few moons, and we need to be prepared if there is a war. I, um, think that we should, if there is a war, that we should ambush them from the Great Hollow's path to get into IvyClan. We need to send most of our warriors out there, but be prepared if we are attacked. So we'll send out most of our warriors to IvyClan, but we'll leave..hmm...Brokensnow....Thunderheart..and some of the warrior queens and a few fit, but younger apprentices..like Eveningpaw, and a few others. You'll come with me and the rest of the warriors and some older apprentices." He made sure to separate Thunderheart and Moonfire, but put Moonfire and him with each other. "You and I will lead the ambush. That is all. What's your input?" He calmed himself down and lost his edginess as he waited for Moonfire's answer.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow] "IvyClan cats are dirty players, I agree we should ambush them, but lets wait until they stray onto our own territory, we don't want to attack without reason, but, as in your choice of apprentices, I think we should bring Hazelpaw, even if she has only trained for a moon, she has good strength and balance, she would be useful. I suggest that we fight by the hottest rocks, they would burn their paws, IvyClan is not used to fighting without something to pad their paws!" she meowed scornfully, "If they fall on the rocks, they will get burned a lot! Luckily most of them have short hair, it won't pad them. As for the warriors, I agree that we should bring plenty of warriors, but ********* isn't ready yet, we should bring..." she thought for a second, "Thunder-, no, Brokensnow, he's more balanced, we do need strong warriors too, and he qualifies for both, a bit.
Splitting up into 2 groups would be good, splitting into 3, no, we don' have enough warriors," she meowed thinking it over, "I should go with one group and you with another, the rest we leave at camp." she decided in the end, "Well?" she asked, waiting for his opinion... |

"Yes. That's a good plan." Thunderheart will come with me, Brokensnow will go with you, and Eveningpaw will stay here with some of the warrior queens. But this is only if we are attacked first. Thank you for your time. You can go now." He watched her leave. Oh no! Now Thunderheart and Moonfire would be separated, but he and Moonfire would also be separated. She also looked worried for him, as if he had lost eight lives or something. He hadn't lost one yet, and he was proud of it! He wouldn't go anywhere as long as Moonfire was with him. She gave him...hope....and possibly the will to live. If he lost her, he'd lose everything.

Raccoonstar woke the next morning feeling hot. It was becoming a hot and humid greenleaf. He looked around to see if Moonfire was awake, and saw that it wasn't even dawn yet. He yawned, but couldn't get back to sleep. He padded first to dirtplace for some...unfinished buisness...and then sneaked off to hunt. He scented a vole nearby, and went into the hunter's crouch. He pounced at the vole, quickly thanked StarClan for it's life, and killed it. He then buried it for later. He gazed up at the still-a-bit-starry sky, searching for what was left of the moon. He found it, still shining, though it was weakly shining. Maybe this was a sign from StarClan! That...that...peace would not be with the four Clans soon? A...war? IvyClan! He knew he shouldn't have ever trusted Silentstar! Moonfire and new apprentices might have to wait. If it was IvyClan making trouble, he'd have to make sure SnakeClan was ready. He dug out his vole and brought it into camp. He placed it gently on the fresh-kill pile, with was eventually going to reach StarClan if they kept putting more on it. Then he realized something. Moonfire was not something that could wait. He missed his chance at half moon, so he had to do it now. He saw Moonfire getting up and stretching nearby. She was awake, or at least enough to hear him. She picked out his vole from the climbing top of the fresh-kill pile and ate it in four hungry gulps. Raccoonstar took a very deep breath, and made sure not to stammer when he said what was necessary to say. He took another deep breath. "Moonfire? I need to talk to you alone, please. Can you come with me to my den?" he took a very, very deep breath as he led her to the infamous far corner. He'd let her say something first before he asked the question.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow] Here it was, she started thinking, sadness melted her heart, she didn't want Raccoonstar to go, to die, what would she do without him?
She straightened up, "Yes, Raccoonstar?" |

"Moonfire...?" He took a deep breath, making sure no one could hear them. "Do...do you...like...Thunderheart? I see you around him a lot..." Racoonstar tried desperately to not look embarrassed or sheepish. He waited for her reply, hoping desperately for a "no."

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow] "Thunderheart?" she meowed, "Oh, yes, I have a report that I was not able to tell you the past two days. Thunderheart and Brokensnow snuck out of camp...They went as far as the twoleg place and found a shiny object there, I guess that Thunderheart had wanted to cut his fur and that Brokensnow prsuaded him to go. I will have them punished, do not worry, but I thought that you would like to know!" Wow! She sumed it down a lot, she thought. She didn't want them to get into immense trouble, she would deal with it.
OCC: she is sooo mousebrained! XP |

Raccoonstar paused. This was information, but not the information he wanted! "O-okay. But, I mean, do you....love him..?" he stammered. He gulped and waited for the answer, and not some more useless information.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow] "Hold on, Raccoonstar," she dipped her head politly, "I can't hear you over that noise! I'll be back in a moment."
Aghhh! Those kits, she thought, they were so loud! She stepped out of the den, not to find kits, but to find Hazelpaw, Duskpaw, and Eveningpaw playing making a ton of noise!
"Hazelpaw, Duskpaw, Eveningpaw!" she meowed angrily, be quiet, I thought you were just a bunch of kits! Go clean out the nursery and check and see if the elders' have ticks. That might come you three down!" she meowed sternly.
She walked into Racoonstar's den, "Now, what were you saying about Thunderheart?" |

"Do. You. Love. Thunderheart. Or. Not?!" he said, becoming rather exasperated. He waited impatiently for his answer, waving his tail.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow] Moonfire stared at Raccoonstar, not registering his words. Her mind cleared and she took a step back,"Do I love-?"
The truth was, she didn't really know, she had only talked to and actually got to know him for only at least 3 days. Why did Raccoonstar care? She narrowed her eyes, she didn't want to be disrespectful, but wasn't that her own personal business?
And then it hit her, what Raccoonstar was really trying to say.
"Well," she meowed, choosing her words with care, "I can't be sure," she tried to be truthful, "I have only got to know him for a bit, and that is my chose, it depends...does he like me? Does he feel comfortable with having no kits? Is this really what he wants? Think about it," she was now directing her words to him, she only really had a keen idea of what he was trying to say, but she had a theory, "Would I be the right cat?" she asked softly.
Her theory, was entirely different, but not far from the actually truth. He likes a cat, she thought, I wonder who he likes....He could have just asked her if she thought that this cat liked him! This was a really weird conversation, why not just ask the cat he likes instead of asking her about Thunderheart? Did he want to know how she felt about a cat, did he want a she-cat's opinion?
OCC: good guess but try again Moonfire! XD |

"M-Moonfire...you wouldn't be the right cat for him because I...." Raccoonstar paused, searching for the right words. "...I love you. Moonfire, I love with all of my heart and I think your beautiful and I would always care for you and...and I love you more than you can ever imagine. Do...do you love me? If you do...I'd like to be with you. I'm fine with no kits, and it's the only thing I can ever want in my life...to be with you. Do you love me as much as I love you?" Raccoonstar was almost crying. He waited for her answer.
