Who's a bad person?

Maple is!

Why?

'Cause he didn't update!

I'm SOOOOOOOO sorry! I didn't mention it to you guys, but I actually had a huge writers block. Sorry to everyone that was screaming at me through their phones. And the stress with politics didn't really help either.

This chapter is going to be where a bit of the story is changed up.... and I think you'll like it.

The answer to last quiz was Foxleap. Good job to everyone, I think all of you got it right.

SANDSTORM

Over the past few days, Fireheart and Greystripe seemed to become more and more distant. I wanted to talk to one of them about it, but Fireheart would always say, "I'm busy", and Greystripe would just pointedly ignore me.

And when Fireheart wasn't busy, he was sleeping, so the was never a correct time for me to talk to him.

Dustpelt has been becoming more and more friendly as of late, sharing tongues, giving me prey, and even being slightly nicer to Fireheart.

I said slightly, right?

Bluestar seemed to have noticed as well, and would try to force them together by putting them in the same patrols. Her efforts weren't successful.

Longtail, surprisingly enough, has stopped being a fox-heart. He seems to steer away from Tigerclaw and Darkstripe. I even saw him sharing prey with Mousefur yesterday. Maybe he's only doing it because of Mousefur though, they seem to be getting awfully close.

I padded up to Tigerclaw to see if there were any patrols available, as I needed something to do.

"Ah, Sandstorm, perfect. I want you on a border patrol with Fireheart and Greystripe. You lead it. Head along the Twoleg-place border. There have been many reports of kittypet scents." Tigerclaw turned away after speaking, talking in a low voice with Goldenflower.

Ah. Great. A patrol with two "best friends" who didn't want to talk to each other. This was going to be absolutely peachy. Also, what's a peach?

TIME SKIP CUZ I SAID SOMETHING FUNNY SO IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL TO CONTINUE

FIREHEART

The "Oh Great One" himself decided to put Greystripe, Sandstorm, and myself on the same patrol. Along the Twoleg-place (Am I spelling it correctly?) . It's like he knows I don't want to talk to either of them, and he wants to make me suffer by going on a long patrol along where I used to live with the two people I am really annoyed with.

Led by the talkative one, of course.

"When are you guys going to get over that?" Sandstorm suddenly stopped, and turned to face us, "So Greystripe fell in love with a Riverclan cat. Big deal? What is there to- oh."

Finally. I thought. She decided to actually take it from my point of view.

Sandstorm recomposed herself, then turned to look at Greystripe. "Don't you think he feel's betrayed? You're leaving him, your best friend, for a Riverclan cat. Don't you think that comes off as betrayal?"

Greystripe bowed his head as Sandstorm lectured him, "Yeah..."

Sandstorm turned to me, "And you have to notify him that that's how you feel! Otherwise he'll just think you're jealous that he found someone to love!"

Now it was my turn to lower my head. "I guess..."

"Now, you two are best friends! Make up."

Greystripe was quicker to forgive, butting his head against my flank, silently apologizing for not noticing my feeling of betrayal. After a few moments, I forgave him as well, rasping a lick over his ear. I lowered my tone, but knew Sandstorm could still hear me in my mind.

"You can keep seeing Silverstream. Just, don't do anything stupid without notifying me. And make sure not to get caught. I don't want you to ever leave me."

Greystripe chuckled, "That seemed like a love confession. But I won't ever leave you, or this clan. No matter what. This is where I belong."

I looked over to Sandstorm to see her smiling, but her eyes weren't sparkling like they normally do. She seemed to be holding something back. Like she wanted to say something, wanted to express her feelings, but she couldn't with one of us here. It was like she knew something we didn't, and was mere seconds away from spilling it.

So, being the graceful, noble hero I am, decided to save her from that.

"C'mon, we've got a patrol to finish."

And they walked off into a beautiful sunset. THE END.

Alright, that was pretty short, but I wrote the last 600 words in class, and people were demanding a new chapter, so... yeah. Here ya go!

I'm very sorry for not updating, but like previously said I had a writers block, and was dealing with some people on my message board.

NEW QUIZ!!!
