Are you around me?The afternoon sun was barely visible. Grey-tinted clouds were looming over it, blocking it's rays, but the heat stayed in the air. A loud clap of thunder rang through the air, and a single drop of water fell to the ground. The sun was completely covered by now. Rain began to slide through the air, falling faster and faster each second. A single bolt of lightening shot through the air, followed by another boom of thunder a moment later. The rain was pouring now, soaking everything in it's path. A soaking wet, cold, matted pelt stood in the clearing. It's head was raised towards the storming sky, it's tail wrapped around it's paws. The cat stared, teal optics taking in all that went on in the sky. Another threatening boom sounded in the sky, erupting upon Dustpaw's eardrums. His ear didn't twitch, although it threatened to do so, and he continued to stay still as a stone. His paws ached, and his joints wished him pain for the night ahead from standing in the rain, but he only stood there, staring at the storm-ridden sky. The water splattered on the Dustpaw's face, unmercifully telling him to go to the den. His eyes clouded slightly. He was still thinking about what that kit, Spark-kit, said earlier. "I just have a feeling there is more to life than just a nursery."" There is more to life than just a nursery..." He muttered, speaking to no one. Why did he need to say it? Maybe to prove his point. But Spark-kit wasn't out here... Maybe he just needed to hear it himself. " Of course there is," He mewed firmly, " There's being a leader, after all." He blinked as a drop of rain splashed on his eye, causing it to sting slightly. The pain subsided instantly, and he blinked a few times more. Dustpaw almost moved, but his paws wouldn't let him. His tail did move, however, and it twitched off of his paws and into the muddy earth. Is there really more to life? Just being a kit, getting trained as an apprentice, becoming a warrior, then ruling a clan. That's what I see in my life. What else would there be? War? Of course there's war. There's always war. But what else is it?, His brain was vexing itself, and he flattened his ears against his head, half in anger, half in confusion, What else? What am I missing? Love? Love. Whatis love? Feeling something for someone? I love my mother, but that doesn't make me feel anything different for my life. Same with my sister. What is love?A hiss slid from his throat as his claws unsheathed themselves a few times. He couldn't figure out why anyone would want love, and he still didn't understand what love even was, for StarClan's sake. What could it be? Because I can't see you.

Spark-kit finally slid out of the nursery away from Requimstar. "Finally!" She mewed effortlessly. The rain studded her soft fluffy pelt, making little parts beflat, untill she bacame a ugly stringy furred...thing. She shook her pelt, but it did nothing. She padded throught the camp. She suddenly, stopped moving. She pulled her feet as hard as she could, but it didn't work. She looked down to see her paw tangle dina bunch of tied danglions, tangled roughly. "Mouse-dung!" She spat and shoook her paw, etching back into her back rising up, her paw still not coming out.

Are you around me?The rain continued pelting to the earth. The thunder was quieter now, and the lightening was stopping. It appeared the main part of the storm was over, and now it would get calmer. Dustpaw continued standing there, thinking. He suddenly heard an angry mew. "Mouse-dung!"He swiveled his head towards it, realizing it to be Spark-kit. Her paw was stuck in dandelions, and it took him a moment to not crack up. He finally found the strength to move his paws. Dustpaw padded his way towards the kit. He smirked slightly before speaking. " Need help?" He sneered, his eyes glimmering. He bent his head down and bit the stems wrapping around her paw. There were a few, and he had to be careful so he didn't bite her foot. He found the stems gently then bit down harder, ripping them away from her paw so she could walk. " Better?" This time the sneer had faded from his maw, and he only looked at her with a blank look. Because I can't see you.

"Ih, not you again!" Aprk-kit mewed as she saw Dustpawcome over to her aid. She tried pulling away a last time, but he had bit away the dandelions. "Thanks!" She mewed, sighing in releif and smiled up to him, her eyes sparked freely.

Are you around me?" What's wrong with me?" He joked, sitting down and wrapping his tail around his paws. The rain dripping into his pelt was slowly getting lighter. The rain was easing up, and the clouds were getting whiter. Spark-kit was soaking too, and that made Dustpaw feel less like an idiot for standing in the rain when he should've gone in a den. Her eyes sparked with something, but the tabby tom couldn't tell what. Just like he couldn't tell what love was. Why was he so mouse-brained? " So, still gonna go over the river after a rainstorm like that? The river should be pretty high." He didn't sound like he was jabbing for once. He more sounded like he actually cared. But of course, he would deny it with every fiber of his being. Because I can't see you.

"I think so, you can come if you like." Spark-kit mewed and smiled over to the tom. She liked this tom, he seemed pretty laid back. her eyes aprkled with excitement and her tail lashed eagerly. She sat down on her right hip the fully laid down. (This will lead to early srthritus as a 46 mooner.) Her paws itched to run over to the river, but she stayed to see if Dustpaw would come.

Are you around me?Dustpaw snorted. " Sure, why not. Gotta make sure you don't get hurt, anyway." He mewed, licking his fur in a feeble attempt to clean it. Sitting in the middle of the dirt-covered camp while it rained made his pelt slightly muddy. He pushed himself to his feet and stretched slightly. Something told him it wasn't a good day to try to get over the river, but he didn't feel like arguing with the kit, and staying would mean throwing the kit to a watery death if anything happened. He gazed at the sky as the rain stopped falling. The clouds were white now, and there weren't many. The sun was starting to shine through them. The relaxing moment caused him to let out a purr. It only rumbled for a few seconds before he caught himself. He glanced sideways at Spark-kit. Because I can't see you.

Spark-kit smiled helpfully. "Alright cool, but I hear Requiemstar, we should go see what's going on." She mewed and lifted herself up, her right hip and underbelly were black with mud. She turned towards Jaggedrocks, hoping Dustpaw would follow and sit near her.
