## Prologue

"Just ask her, she wants to be with you." Copperleaf gestured Tealwing towards Swanfeather. "It will make my day, please." Tealwing nervously stepped towards Swanfeather with his tail up high, exhaling.

"Swanfeather?" She stared at him, nearly distracted as Willowdusk, Winterdream and Copperleaf stood around them.

"Yes Tealwing?" Swanfeather's eyes darted around getting to everyone but Tealwing's. "What is it?"

"Can we be together?" He smiled in caution as he shifted his paws. Winterdream and Willowdusk knew that Swanfeather always wanted a mate and her dreams could come true with those around her.

"Sure," Swanfeather smiled as she lapped him on the cheek, "I would love too." She swept her tail along the mossy gravel, "I think that Willowdusk would ruin the moment."

## Chapter One

Tealwing was alongside Copperleaf as they were talking about their lives.

"I couldn't bare with Lakestar rejecting me when I asked her. It was heart-breaking," Copperleaf sighed as he locked eyes with Tealwing, "That is...Until Willowdusk and I became sparring partners, everything changed from then." Tealwing nodded as he stared down, curling and uncurling his tail. Copperleaf could see Winterdream and Willowdusk chatting with Swanfeather as he directed Tealwing into another direction.

"I don't think it will be the best for me," Tealwing sighed, "I don't even practice."

"You don't have to practice, you just need to, you know, let it *flow*." Copperleaf lifted Tealwing's head with his tail. "Be you."

"Let it...*flow?"* Tealwing stood on his own in confusion as he slightly whispered towards Copperleaf, "How?"

"How do you say it...Just do it?" Copperleaf stated sarcastically. "Don't try, just do it." The Bengal cat laughed, "It's not that hard."

"For you to say, she asked you!" Tealwing hissed as he dragged his claws along the bark.

"No, I was brave. I was true. I was not a coward," Copperleaf muttered under his breath, "Like you, cowardice."

"Shut your yap!" Tealwing snarled as Copperleaf smirked.

"Want to settle this here?"

"Foolish, male," Tealwing spat, "If you run, I could out run you, I could out jump you, I could out hunt you."

"But you will never be able to find me." Copperleaf hissed as he dashed off, Tealwaing in pursuit behind him. Copperleaf leaped across fallen trees and made a tight turn, leaping into the creek and swimming across. He dove underwater has he made it across the other side with Tealwing tight on his tail. Copperleaf gasped for air and streched, climbing into a tree, leaping from branch to branch. He landed, twisting his paw as Tealwing overcame him.

"We all know you were a kittypet," Tealwing snarled, unsheathing a row of claws, "Named *Runt*hmm?" Copperleaf kept his neck straight, as he alay on the crusty gravel beneath him.

"Sir! It's in the past!" Copperleaf wailed as the stronger, darker tom dug a row of claws into his shoulders,

"The past means nothing to me!"

## Chapter Two

"I really, really, really want a mate, I'm desprate!" Swanfeather wailed as Winterdream and Willowdusk were there to cope with her.

"You will, you have to be patient!" Willowdusk snapped, acting annoyed as she leaned over and winked towards Winterdream.

"Your dreams will come true!" Winterdream faked a smile, "Someday..." Swanfeather ambled towards the Mushroom Clearing with Willowdusk and Winterdream guiding her. They were both close in the plan with Copperleaf and they knew everything that was going to happen.

"Let's make a turn here," Willowdusk, turned towards the Fallen Tree as she eyed Copperleaf and Tealwing talking, Winterdream nodded,

"Yes, no one will disturb us..." Swanfeather smiled, thinking nothing about who would be her mate, as she just wanted anyone.

"Alright!" Swanfeather yipped as Willowdusk lead them towards the Fallen Tree, Swanfeather remaining clueless. Winterdream bit onto an orchid stem and placed it in front of the Forest Cat.

"You are going to need to know all about love," Winterdream started as Willowdusked pawed Swanfeather off of the orchid. "And luckily, you found the right people to teach you." Winterdream leaned over and winked to her step mother as they faced Swanfeather. Willowdusk grinned mischeviously,

"Ready for you're first lesson?"

"I, uhm, yes!" Swanfeather smiled, "I am ready! Oh please teach me!"

"Patience," Winterdream hissed as she observed Willowdusk grew annoyed, "Or, you know what will happen..." Swanfeather nodded as she watched the pacing Maine Coon before her with a stern glance. Willowdusk excused her and Winterdream so they huddled, whispering quietly,

"Do you think Copperleaf has it under control?" Willowdusk darted her glance all around her.

"Dad? I don't think so," Winterdream rolled her eyes, "They're probably already fighting, you know dad." Willowdusk chuckled,

"We have time," She glanced at Swanfeather who smiled patiently, "We have plenty of time." Winterdream smirked, repeating her,

"Plenty of time."

## Chapter Three

Copperleaf hissed as Tealwing drove his claws into him. He was no patient and wanted nothing to do with the Bengal again. Almost as he hated Copperleaf, but didn't. He put away his rows of claws as he leaped off the male, waiting for the wheezing to be over.

"Is there anything *else*you want to say?" Tealwing faced the creekside as he lapped up some water. Copperleaf remained coughing madly. The Bengal cursed and placed his paws into the shallow water. Tealwing closed his eyes as Copperleaf stood silently still.

"So, Swanfeather," Copperleaf wimpered as he nervously spoke, "She really likes you, like really, really likes you..." His voice trailed off with Tealwing wanting to know more.

"Why? How can someone like a scrap like me?" Tealwing spat, placing himself next to Copperleaf. "I'm not special, like you. You have Willowdusk, I have nothing."

"You will have something," Copperleaf broke after a period of silence, "I know you will. I can see it in you. She will say yes. Sure, actually."

"How do you know *that*much?" Tealwing turned away, "It's impossible."

"The word itself says I'm possible." Copperleaf sighed as Tealwing grew annoyed. "You have to be calm, caring, respectful, and..." He paused, "You have to feel something."

"Like?"

"Like...um, happiness, and uh, love!" Copperleaf stated quickly, he paused, eyeing Willowdusk and dragged Tealwing underwater. Tealwing blubbled without oxygen as Copperleaf swam faster, throwing Tealwing onto the farside of the creek. As Copperleaf, easily pulled himself out of the water, Tealwing pressed a paw into his mouth and held his head underwater.

"What kind of Foxdung are you!" Tealwing shouted, leaving Copperleaf suffering, "You nearly killed me!" Copperleaf went unconcious and floated to the shallow waters. Tealwing cursed to him and pressed his paws onto his chest,

"C'mon kid, I know you're still here...You gotta tell me how to like someone..." He stopped everything, "And how to ask Swanfeather..." Copperleaf gasped as his vision blurred with the dark cat atop of him. He dashed off, slamming into fallen branches on his way deeper through the thick forest. Copperleaf ran. Tealwing remained still.

"I need him." He started to trot into the dense trees, "I need his help."
