Heathersong woke up and yawned, sunlight was streaming into her teal green eyes. What time was it? Glancing around, she realized that the den was nearly empty, she had slept in. Scrambling up to her paws, her head still cloudy from sleep, Heathersong nearly tripped over the sleeping body of Maplegaze, which lay right beside her. For a moment, Heathersong stopped moving, she just stood there and watched. She watched as his chest rose and fell with deep breaths. She watched his whiskers twitch with amusement, he was probably dreaming. Dreaming about what? Suddenly, she had the strangest urge to lean in and bury her face in his shoulder, or gently lick his cheek, but then quickly pushed the thoughts away before they could go any further. It took a great amount of will power just to keep herself from turning her thoughts into actions. She could feel her cheeks flushing with embarrassment, as if she had actually done it. Blinking sleep from her eyes, Heathersong lifted a paw and prodded Maplegaze's warm flank. "Wake up." She mewed, trying to hide all the longing from her sleepy voice. "You've slept in."

"What? Who are you? What do you want? Why are you hauting me for so long?" Nightmask yowled out into the forest. Her only reply was the bouncing of her voice on the trees. The black cat turned around, looked at her steadily in the eye with two eerie yellow eyes for a moment, turned, and vanished into the forest.
Nightmask's eyes flew open, but she immediatly shut them again. This dream have been hauting her for almost a moon now, and she still don't know what it means... yawning, she got up, squinting her eyes against the glare of the sunlight. Arching her back, she glanced around to see if there's any other cats in the warriors den. It seemed that the only cats present are Heathersong and Maplegaze. "Good morning, Heathersong." Nightmask meowed. "Good morning, Maplegaze." she purred at the still-asleep shape.

((Thanks for helping me to speed this up. It's kind of hard when there's no one to role play with. How am I going to explain it when Heathersong suddenly ends up with Maplegaze's kit and all the communication they had achieved in the past was "Wake up, you've slept in."?))
Maplegaze shifted in his sleep, just starting to return to the waking world. He sat up, took one look at the she-cats staring down at him, and groaned, letting his body go limp again. "Morning, Nightmask," He mumbled into the moss beneath his face. "Don't tell me it's time to get up already!"
Heathersong nearly scoffed with disbelief. How come Nightmask got a 'Good morning' and she didn't? What was so special about Nightmask? And why was she purring down at him like that? Were they in love or something? That wasn't fair! Heathersong had been friends with Maplegaze for much longer! Or had she? What, so now Nightmask comes along and thinks she could steal him away? Well, she's got competition! Heathersong wasn't about to give up that easily! The dark brown she-cat shook her head vigorously. Her imagination was going wild again. Of course nothing was going on between Maplegaze and Nightmask. There just couldn't be! "Up, you lazy fur-ball." Heathersong mumbled, prodding Maplegaze's chest even harder. "I was just about to ask you to come hunting with me."

(** It's inactive... it's inactive... then, vola! I appear! Go Mooneyes! Whoo! **)
Shrugging, Nightmask just sat down, curling her black tail over her paws. "Wake up, Maplegaze." She meowed calmly. "The sun is almost halfway across the sky!" lifting one paw, her tongue passed over it and she rubbed it over her ears. Well, she didn't exactly exagerate that much. The sun isn't almost half-way up yet, but it is still pretty high. Parting her jaws in a wide yawn, her front paws stretched involunteraly (sp?). Sitting up, her yellow eyes blinked a bit drowsily, but she still resumed her grroming.

Maplegaze groaned again, but didn't protest. He sat up and opened his jaws in a wide yawn. "Then what are we waiting for?" He asked. "You," Heathersong replied, her whiskers twitching in amusement. Maplegaze ignored this little comment and turned to Nightmask, "Want to come too?" He asked. Heathersong almost rolled her eyes, but she didn't. It took a huge amount of will power just to restrain herself. "Yes! Come!" She mewed brightly, trying to hide her jealousy. Sometimes she was too protective of Maplegaze, but she just couldn't help it. She was love-struck, and she wanted him all for her own. Sharing him was just not an option to her.

Nightmask looked up at Heathersong and Maplegaze, and frowned inwardly. Why was Heathersong reacting so negatively when Maplegaze asked her to go hunting? Nightmask knew that Heathersong is trying to mask it, but it was just so obvious to Nightmask. She pushed that thought out of her mind. She'll speak to Heathersong later. "Sure, why not?" she meowed instead. Rubbing her ear a few more times, she bounded up, and bounced over to Maplegaze and Heathersong.

"Let's go then!" Maplegaze meowed, holding his tail out to Heathersong. Heathersong paused for a moment, a little taken aback. This gesture was totally unexpected, but finally she smiled and wrapped her tail around his, following him as he lead the way out of the den. This was the reaction she had wanted all along, it was truly perfect. Maplegaze blushed shyly and looked into her face. He still wasn't sure how he felt about Heathersong, but maybe it was stronger than friendship. Maybe. Heathersong on the other hand, was completely sure of her feelings. She felt even more sure as Maplegaze tightened his grip on her tail. His warmth was doing something to her head. She felt as if her legs could no longer support her body, her breath came out in short excited gasps. She even looked back to make sure Nightmask was following, smiling at the other she-cat for the first time that morning.

Nightmask smiled to herself. Maybe she didn't have to talk to Heathersong after all! Padding after them as they exited the den, Nightmask smiled back at Heathersong when she turned her head. She can't help but let a small burst of joy shoot through her. She had suspected all along that Heathersong loved Maplegaze, but she didn't know that Maplegaze liked her back! Or maybe he didn't. Maybe this is just a guesture of friendship. Nightmask pushed that thought out of her head. No, Maplegaze liked Heathersong also. She's sure of it.
