Summary
"Tell Fernpaw-?" Tigerpaw looked surprised, "Uh, thanks Shimmerfall. But this isn't about me, it's about you and Whitemist."
"What? I never said-" the large, dark gray tabby tom sputtered. Tigerpaw just rolled his eyes.
"It's been obvious to the whole camp," he sighed, "You should honestly just tell her."
Shimmerfall nodded. The thought of asking her made him feel sick to his stomach though. Like he needed to see Maplepool. He wanted to tell Clearstone this, but he wasn't sure how.
He wasn't sure if he'd know how to tell him anything again.

Summary
Kestrelpaw had said no. She was just a stupid little girl. (She'd been about to become a warrior. Why had he wanted to stay an apprentice when he could be a warrior with her?) It was so obvious he'd loved Pebblepaw, really. After those little quiet moments in the den though, where his green eyes would catch hers and she'd smile. They had to mean something.

"Troutstream, I…" He moves his paw and turns his head. Troutstream feels exposed, lying on his back. He shivers and watches Hootbreeze with bated breath. "You're… there's no easy way to say this. You're expecting kits."
Troutstream jerks and looks up, rolling over to lay on his side as he takes shallow breaths. "No… No, that c-can't b-be true."
Hootbreeze shakes his head. "I know how… how hard it can be losing a mate with new kits. But trust me." His gaze softens, "They really are a blessing."
Troutstream thinks of Songcloud and lets out a snarl, "Beemask isn't dead."

Summary
Stonepaw now had Lilypaw hanging on his every word. He would eat prey with Moonpaw and the she-cat would watch him with a look of rebellious disinterest.

He scents something in the distance and began to track it, even though the old rain smell from that morning. At the end of the trail, he finds…
A pretty she-cat.
