## Extra Story

*Maybe she's alone now.* I leapt off the seat, and then bounded between isles. Once I found my way into the main hall, I slipped through the entrance to the big building. I was now outside, Oceanfeather was more active at night. And sometimes she would come and sit next to her best friend, Heathereyes, to watch Lionwind and the other performers put on an amazing show. I always dreamed of doing that with her, and maybe tonight was the night. She liked the navy colored seats considering her color, no twoleg seemed to notice her. Some cat suddenly shifted past me, I turned back *OCEANFEATHER! I quickly ran inside back to the stage, I already knew where I had to be,* Oceanfeather was obviously going to sit next to Heathereyes, who was just sitting in the second isle. I shifted through the crowd of twolegs and found the black and white she-cat talking with the beautiful, navy, stunning, Oceanfeather. I swallowed as I sat down next to them, *Hopefully this spot isn't taken!* I desperately thought to myself, praying that none of Thrash's rogue group decided to watch the show for whatever reason.

"I tell you this every time Mosskit! Stay still in your seat!" demanded Heathereyes. "But you never stay still in YOUR seat!" argued Mosskit. Oceanfeather's head hung, her eyes locked on the stage with no one on it. "Hi Oceanfeather!" I meowed brightly. "Hi Foxtail!" she replied, "What's up? You usually never come to see the concerts!" I scoffed, "I only came because Mosskit would never shut up about how amazing it is.

"Well, you never know until you look!" she meowed. The speakers suddenly screamed, "*WOAH!"* I hissed, "What in the name of Emberstar was that?" Oceanfeather shifted into a comfortable position, "The speakers." she told me, "They usually speak like crazy when the show is starting. But maybe you should sit at the back isle next time because it's extremely loud here at the front. I've only come here so I can help Heathereyes with Mosskit." I gave a *purr* of laughter. "Well I only came here to sit next to my clanmates!" I exclaimed.

Oceanfeather's head turned to the performers, who were now posing at the front of the stage as the twolegs announced their arrival over the speakers and started signing. Heathereyes snapped Mosskit by the scruff, "*If I have to handle you like this I will."* she snapped. "Whoop!" Oceanfeather cheered in a high-pitched voice. Lights dimmed down on the stage and everything was so bright I had to squint. I snuck a glance at my companion, my heart slammed against my chest furiously the further she show went on.

"Oceanfeather?" I asked finally. Oceanfeather nodded, still not taking her grinning gaze off the stage. I swallowed *here it goes.* "Do you think it was wrong for Emberstar to keep Lionwind out of the Clan just because he's a performer?" I asked. Hesitant, Oceanfeather replied, still not taking her excited look of her face, "I will admit it was a bit unexpected, but Emberstar's our leader, we can't go against that." I winced when the speakers screeched again. Oceanfeather giggled when I winced at the speakers screeching. I shifted away slightly, her laugh drove me crazy. *I have to warm up to my confession.* "Do you think Lionwind's worthy of a Clan cat?" Oceanfeather nodded, "Of course! But remember that Emberstar can't see what we see and she is just doing what she believes is best for her Clan." *She's trying to avoid the conversation. I have to tell her directly.* I held my breath in as the navy she-cat placed her tail next to my flank. I knew the words would escape my mouth any moment but I put a paw over my mouth to stop myself from talking any further.

I took a quiet breath, not being able to be heard over the music. I opened my mouth to burst with perhaps another question, "Oceanfeather do you believe that being a performer AND a Clan cat at the same time is...wrong?" Avoiding my gaze, she mumbled, "I don't think it's right, but I don't think it's wrong either." *She's not answering me! We won't get anywhere unless I just tell her.* I took a deep breath, "I love you, Oceanfeather." Ocenafeather flinched and stared at the tabby tom, "Sorry! I meant, uh-" I stumbled across words with her gaze locked onto mine. My heart smacked my chest and my ears flattened. "I just had to tell you, if you don't like me like that then we can just continue as friends, and only friends." I muttered my words loud enough just to be heard. My throat tightened.

"Foxtail.." the she-cats voice cracked with amusement slightly. *Oh StarClan, she's going to cry!* I thought to myself, I felt sorry for making my friend feel like that and my heart smacked my chest once again. Suddenly, the navy warrior sent all her weight on me, resting her head on my startled chest. Both our heartbeats practically pumping at the same rate, with the same force. A small smile formed on the navy cats face "Foxtail...I- I love you too." she muttered quietly. Forming the start of a new romance.
