Blackrose purred with satisfaction at the pile of prey before her. She was hunting, but had paused to admire the sun glittering off the brook. The other cats were back at camp, and she had a feeling some were on patrol but she wan't sure. All she knew was that she was lonely, hunting was much more fun with friends. Burying her prey, she continued down to the brook's side and began grooming the fur on her back, as it had fluffed up considerably through fear after she had almost fallen out of the tree trying to catch a squirrel. Needless to say, she no longer liked squirrels.

Pantherstrike walked through the forest near the brook. He was quite content with how much prey he had caught. He was dragging a humongous rabbit while carrying three mice by their tails at the edge of his mouth. He heard a cat cry out, so he peeked over a nearby bush and saw Blackrose almost fall into the brook. Pantherstrike stifled a laugh and quickly bounded ahead to were Blackrose was, with his rabbit bouncing along with him. He dropped the rabbit and mice near her feet and mewed "Hello Blackrose! Was that a hunting technique I didn't know about?"

Blackrose would have blushed if her fur was lighter. "No it was not!" She retorted haughtily. She paused as she spotted the prey he had dropped. She couldn't help but purr. "The clan'll be well fed today," she laughed, indicating the prey she had left a few tail lengths away. "Although," she added, "You can never have enough prey. How about you leave your prey there and we go find some more. We can pick it all up on the way back." Blackrose was lonely and company was something she couldn't resist when hunting.

Pantherstrike mrrowed with laughter at Blackrose, she could always make him smile. "Sounds good to me!" Pantherstrike replied "just let me cover this up and we can go!" Pantherstrike quickly buried his prey. The he turned towards Blackrose and purred "Alright lead the way."

The she-cat grinned. She knew there was a reason why she like hanging out with him. Leading him back through the territory, she gradually slowed down her pace so that she was walking alongside him. "So been up to anything interesting lately?" She asked, not wanting to have to wait for a tom to initiate conversation. She was a fierce feminist, but something about Pantherstrike made her more gentle than she normally was around toms.

Pantherstrike walked easily beside Blackrose, remembering when she had told off another tom when he had pulled that same stunt of teasing her. That tom had never spoke to her for a moon! Pantherstrike mewed "Nothing to interesting, just looking for you to hunt with."Pantherstrike smiled gently, he knew Blackrose made him feel all tingily inside, but he just couldn't place what it was quite yet. Maybe after this hunt he would be able to. Pantherstrike quickly stopped the babble that was going on in his head and Mewed quietly "How about you? What interesting things have happened to you lately?"

Blackrose's heart stopped. Did he just say he had been looking for her? And he looked really happy..... "No," she sighed. "Nothing good seems to happen at the moment. Apat from me falling out of the tree." She froze for a second time. "Er, did I just say that out loud? I didn't mean that, I never fell out a tree." She backtracked, not wanting him to laugh at her. Laugh with her, yes. At her? No. Turning around to look at him eye to eye, she felt like a million squirrels were doing the conga up and down her spine. What's wrong with me? Why am I so happy when I am near him? She hoped to answer these questions soon.

Pantherstrike mrowed in amusment at Blackrose's backtracking."Your so cute when you do that..." Pantherstrike purred "wait! did I just say that out loud?! Oh my god...uh um, i didnt mean it, well actually I did, oh um...ah mouse dung!" Pantherstrike could feel his fur getting hot. Then he suddenly realized what made him so happy to be with Blackrose...he loved her! "Oh great starclan help me!" Pantherstrike covered his face wwith his paws, he was so embarassed that he had said that out loud. Now she's going to ask what he meant, and then I'll have to tell her! I dont know what she'll say! Pantherstrike sighed and mewed "Look Blackrose, I have to ask you something...Are you always extremely happy when you see,hear, or talk with me?"

Blackrose's eyes opened wide when he said she was cute. At first she thought she had misheard, but his backtracking confirmed it. Then his last question. Her stomach did backflips. "How... How could you know that?" She asked. "And what do you mean I am cute?" Her dark fur was hot with embarrasment. He sounded like he was leading up to something, and now she just hoped it was what she thought it was. " Okay.... say I am extremely happy when I am near you... are you extremely happy when you are near me?"

Pantherstrike sighed in releif. He wasn't so embarrassed..."Okay, I don't think your cute...I think your beautiful..." Pantherstrike whispered "I know you feel that way because I see how your eyes shine when we talk, and how whenever I'm away when I come back you are always the first to greet me...and yes I'm extremely happy whenever I'm near you, talk to you, or even hear you..." Panthrstrike took a deep breath, he was going to say it. "I'm extremely happy around you because...ever since we were kits,and apprentices I've....I....." Cone on! Say it!! pantherstrike then blurted out "Because I love you Blackrose!..." Then he added more quietly, "And I always have and always will..."There he had said it. He had told her everything. Now...to find out what SHE felt.

"Did you just.... But you can't have.... Oh I get it, you'r joking." She glared, she hated having her emotions toyeed with. But.... the look in his eyes was so serious. Could he be serious? Could he really l... love her? She bristled her fur and rose to her full height -which was pretty small, but still- "You have no right to decide how I look when you are around, or how I behave." Then she grinned, and the edge was gone from her voice. "But I love you too. Oh, and tell anyone I said that and I will have your tail for a collar, no matter how much I may or may not like you." She finished, gasping as her rant ended.

Pantherstrike mrrowed in releif. She loved him too! Pantherstrike was so happy it was almost impossible. Pantherstrike lept up and grinned "And don't worry I won't tell anyone, but you do know that every cat is going to find out sooner or later right?" Pantherstrike Licked Blackrose on the ear. He purred "Now, wouldn't you want them to find out sooner rather then later? As if another tom trys to move in on you, trust me I won't be happy and they will seee my reaction.I don't mean to be jealous, but I just got you, and I don't want another tom to try to steal you away."Pantherstrike glanced sideways at Blackrose, waiting,hoping he hadn't said the wrong thing.

"Okay, I think we need to get a few things straight Pantherstrike."Blackrose frowned and then continued with "Number one, I am not something that belongs to you and can be taken away. Number two, just because another tom might like me, doesn't mean I'll like him, and he'll be gone with a wasp in his ear if he tries anything before you have a go at him. And three!" She paused, and then began purring in amusement. "Number three," she repeated, "Is that if you think you can handle my mood swings, then you're right. It is better that the clan find out sooner rather than later." She passed her tongue over his right ear comfortingly, and then turned back to camp. "Come on Panther, we need to find some more prey before we leave."

Pantherstrike purred happily as Blackrose said the clan should find soon. Pantherstrike nodded and mewed "Yes we should catch a little more prey before we head back to camp, but remember we both have a boat load already so we won't be able to carry much more." Pantherstrike sniffed the air and caught the trail of a mouse. He flicked his tail indicating that he had found something. Pantherstrike then dipped his head at Blackrose, silently asking if she wanted this one.

Blackrose shook her head ever so slightly. She was heading back to where she had buried her freshkill, so had no need to catch the mouse. Leaving Pantherstrike to catch up, she studied the array of prey around her. Deciding how to carry it was an issue, but she eventually decided on two rabbits slung over her back, the three mice hanging out of her mouth, and the squirrel that she had managed to catch slung around her neck. She turned back to see how Pantherstike was doing.
