    Wishpaw looked up, the array of butterflies fluttering gracefully above her, seeming to be a colorful leaf, spinning in the air. Wishpaw swung her paws playfully at a few together in a cluster, the majestic insects quickly swarming away, the cream apprentice giggling, and watching in awe.

    Longkit lunged at another one, pulling five of them down with him. He rolled around in the dirk, kicking as if the butterflies were real foes.

    Wishpaw attempted a paw swing at one, but it fluttering away before it even noticed Wishpaw's attack attempt. The failed attack caused the playful apprentice to roll down a hill. She looked up while she was tumbling down, noticing there were butterflies in the current spot she was in. "Wow, so pretty.." Wishpaw sat down with a thump, watching them carefully.

    [size=11pt] (2/15) Blackfur sat. It was breath-taking. Butterflies everywhere. He could stay there all day, looking at them flying. Or he could just chase them, and of course that was much more fun than sitting around watching them go. When would he face the same opportunity again?[/size]

    The moon lit up the forest, making the two cats siloutes glitter on the still lake. Monarchheart leaped over a pile of dark colored stones, kicking one into the lake, creating a quiet splash. "All the clans have been rather peaceful, don't you think? She asks while gazing over at the border. "Yeah, I guess." Bumblenose's eyes were fixed on a small shadow looming toward them. "What in Starclans name is that?" Monarchheart turns to look at the shadow as well. the figure moves closer and turns out to be a small winged insect. "Just a moth," Monarchheart mumbles, her ears twitching and her fur flattening, like shes hiding something. "No it's not." Bumblenose snarls. "It's that butterfly!"

    This was crazy. Flightfall grumbled. But when leaf-bare comes, these butterflies would have to go away or freeze to death. Comforted a fraction by the notion, Flightfall began to return to the camp to discus the disposal of these butterflies with the senior warriors.

    Wishcatcher looked up, her olive irises gleaming in awe.. Most of the sky wasn't blue, just active orange wings flapping elegantly through the sky. She had never seen something that was so awe-inspiring as this moment, she wouldn't spend all of her time watching. The childish she-cat got on her haunches, leaping at them. She quickly broke the wall of butterflies, but it being filled up almost instantly with more of the insects. "There's so many... Oh, wait. I got it." She meowed, backing up, and then darting, full speed, followed by a leap with her claws out-stretched. It was a battle move of hers, but she made it a bit more gentle, and she thought it was worth a shot to see how many butterflies she could clear in one paw swipe. She swung at them, making a large hole, but it being blocked again by more of them. "This could be a fun game, I just need someone to play it with me.." Wishcatcher looked over her shoulder, at Monarchheart and Bumblenose. "Uuhm, hey!" She leaped to them, skidding. "Do you want to play I game a made up a bit ago?" She meowed. "You just see how many butterflies you can clear from the sky, but just with ONE gentle paw swipe, so you wouldn't attack or hurt them. It's great exercise, and is pretty fun too. If you win, the loser will have to hunt you a mouse." Wishcatcher took a deep breath, her chatter tiring her out, and exhaling. "How 'bout it?" She asked happily.


    (Occ: WAY TOO MUCH TYPING, WOW.)

    "What? Butterflies only come out during the day.." Monarchheart's voice trails off. Bumblenose flicks his ears. "Well not this one!" He hisses ready to spring at it. "This butterfly has been harassing not only awake, but in my sleep!" Monarchheart stiffens, her excited look fading away. "Bumblenose," She begins. "That butterfly you saw was me in your dream."

    "What?" Bumblenose yowls, his voice high-pitched. "Shh! We don't want to wake the whole forest up!" Monarchheart hisses, then sighs. "That butterfly you saw was me in your dream." Bumblenose paces back and fourth. "I don't understand. Your not a medicine cat! How can you visit me in my dreams?" The she-cat looks down at the ground. "Honestly, I don't know. I've been doing this since I was a kit." She begins. "I was so fascinated with butterflies. I always wanted to feel the wind in my fur. To feel that freedom. To soar above the skies."

    "So, I fell alseep, and woke in somewhere strange. I felt different. I felt, winged and light. I didn't have paws anymore." Bumblenose stared at her in shock. He couldn't believe this. It was impossible. But Monarchheart never lies. "Promise me this," Her voice drops to a whisper. "You can't tell anyone about this. Not even Mapleleaf." Bumblenose smiles and gives her a quick lick on the cheek. "Your secret is safe with me."

    Days pass. Bumblenose crepts around in the forest, flicking his ears listening to the sounds of birds tweeting around in the trees. His mouth watered for bird meat. "Bumblenose over here, there's a whole flock of wood pigeons!" He turned around to see Hawkfoot meowing at him. "Yeah, i'll be there in a second," He mumbles, his eyes fixed on a woodpeckers slamming it's beak into a tree. He crouches, and slowly crawls up the tree. Suddenly, he heard pawsteps, growing louder. The woodpecker squawked in terror and flew away. "Mouse-dung!" He snarls, and leaps down from the tree. He looks behind him and sees Monarchheart slowly padding in front of him. "Sorry." She mews, lowering her head. Bumblenose just smiles. "No worries." She stands for a moments awkwardly and finally speaks. "Hey, I have something to show you." She whispers. Bumblenose nods and the two leap off. Monarchheart leads them to a small cave. In the inside are thousands of tiny flowers with wing-like shapes. "Look what I made." She says. Bumblenose stares at her breathtaking artwork. "It's beautiful." Like her. He says in his head. Monarchheart backs up, and the flowers slowly levitate in the air. They spin around and butterflies take their place. "It's just like my dream!" He yowls, his voice echoing. The butterflies spin around the two cats making soft buzzing noises. Bumblenose had appreciated the insects than he ever did before. Monarchheart and Bumblenose smile at each other. The butterflies had created a sweet memory and relationship that would last a lifetime.
