It was sunhigh as Viperstrike pulled himself out of the river on the ThunderClan side. He was missing the Sunningrocks and wanted to sun himself for awhile. What didn't come to his mind was patrols as he leaped onto the warm rocks. He sighed with content as he lay on his side, letting the heat of the rocks seep into his tired bones. He wasn't an elder, he was quite young, but he had been working for his clan since moonhigh. First he went on patrol, then did some solo hunting, came back and went on a hunting patrol, came back and went on a border patrol. He broke away from his border patrol as soon as the report was given. He sprinted once he was out of camp and headed for Sunningrocks. Now, as he lay under the sun, feeling its heat soak into him, he started to slumber. He dreamed of being on Sunningrocks. He dreamed of being confronted by a patrol and having the ability to fight them off single pawed. ThunderClan scent flooded the air around Viperstrike, choking him, as more cats appeared. The tom jolted awake as a twig snapped in the forest behind him. Viperstrike whipped his head around, ears up, to see who was coming.
OOC: It sucks, I know. I have writers block for new characters always.

Midnightstar saw a white cat on Sunningrocks, " Sunningrocks is in ThunderClan territory, you know." She leaped on the rock and her claws slid out. The ThunderClan leader couldn't see or hear any RiverClan cats coming, so she figured this one was alone. "Your name?" She asked, If you don't get, I'll make sure to tell Jadestar at the next Gathering. Midnightstar thought- the words ready in her mouth to be spoken, but she didn't speak them, I should let him explain himself before doing anything about it. She decided.
Midnightstar's green eyes were narrowed as she sat and waited for answers from the RiverClan tom. A wind passed, sending chills through Midnightstar, causing her to fluff up her dark fur.

Viperstrike didn't tense when she realized it was Midnightstar. He sat up and started to groom his chest fur. "Is it?" He asked coyly with an almost inaudible purr in his throat. He licked a paw and swiped it over his ears and whiskers, grooming himself calmly. He looked at her, showing the ThunderClan leader his bi-colored eyes. He didn't move, he didn't blink. He stared at the she-cat in the eyes, bowing his head with respect after a moment. "Well, I am sorry I have trespassed in ThunderClan territories. However, I have been working hard since moonhigh last night. I needed a nice rock to sooth my tired limbs. I'm sure even you could understand hard work and the need for a break." He asked softly, his deep voice rumbling in his throat. "After all, being a clan leader I am sure can be exhausting. I am confident you use the rocks often as well for relaxation. In RiverClan, we have no rocks to sun ourselves on, our elders just have to lay about in the camp to warm themselves." Viperstrike's words were simple, but they had power in them as well. He wasn't challenging Midnightstar for the rocks, but he was explaining himself in defense of his actions. He licked another paw and ran it along the length of his whiskers. He flicked his tail. "Come, please share the rocks with me." He mewed softly. Viperstrike knew he was being cocky, but was only trying to be nice. Even though Midnightstar was from another clan, she was just cat like him. He layed down on the rocks once more, keeping his eyes on Midnightstar. His blue and green eyes glittered with mischief as he stood up once more.
"Mind you, I'm hungry." He muttered with a flick of his tail and disappeared down the rocks as he headed toward the river. He crouched on the bank, one paw slightly raised, as a silver fish swam by unaware of the predator above it. His paw lashed out, claws unsheathed, and hooked the fish out of the water with practiced skill. He killed it quickly and returned to the river for another go. Again, a fish swam by and Viperstrike scooped it out of the water, killing it just as quickly as the first. He picked the two fish up by the tails and bounded back up the rocks, setting the fish down he looked at Midnightstar. "Try one. They are very good. Slimy and different for another clan, but good." He took a bite of the fish and chewed before swallowing. "Are you frightened of the unknown? Take a bite. I can't promise you'll like it, but it helps if you want a sleek looking coat." He joked lightly. He waited for a moment before finishing his fish. He stood and shook his coat, his thick fur swaying back into place. The sun gleamed off his thick, white coat as if it were newly fallen snow under the sun.

Midnightstar simply sat and glared at the tom, wondering what he'd do next. Yes, I'm a Clan leader- yes it's hard work, no I don't go about in other clans' territories to sun myself. She thought, her tail flicking.
Now what? Oh, fish. The ThunderClan leader turned as Viperstrike got up and went to hunt. When he returned, Midnightstar padded up to him, crouched, and ate the fish, surprised that it actually tasted good! "This is pretty good.." She told him as she finished the fish.
"Okay- you've given me food and sunned yourself on our rocks." Midnightstar meowed, her tone showing that she was giving the tom a hint to leave. Hopefully he gets it- I'm not about to waste every breath I have for him to finally leave- then end up with greencough or something. She contined to carefully watch him, His eyes- one blue and one green? That's kind of cool... She shook her head, Not happening!

The sun gleamed off his thick, white coat as if it were newly fallen snow under the sun.
Viperstrike angled his ears and sighed. "I guess I should go back to my own territory." He said and reluctantly stepped away, his paw steps as silent as a fish moving through a river. He crouched on the shore and watched the water sadly. Suddenly, his paw shot out and a silver fish flew in a wide arch through the air, landing in front of Midnightstar. "Just a small gift." He mewed softly and swam strongly across the river. He continued to his camp without looking back and curled into his nest, waiting for the next day. It came quickly and Viperstrike found himself on the shore of the river, looking for Midnightstar. He scented the air desperately, but found no trace.

Midnightstar ate the fish happily, that was sweet of him- especiially for a RiverClan tom... Oh, what am I thinking? I can't sit around judging the other Clans like that- it's horrible to do.. She thought, standing and going home.
The ThunderClan leader got up the next morning and figured she'd go to the same area to see if the RiverClan tom was hanging around waiting for her or something. I feel as if I'm meeting a cat of another Clan- but it's not my fault he keeps sticking around! Midnightstar's thoughts were becoming more and more miserable as she headed toward Sunningrocks.
Upon reaching the rocks, Midnightstar stopped dead as she saw Viperstrike again. Now what do I do? She wondered nervously. Well, he's most likely here to see me again, so it's not like I can just walk away now and pretend I never saw him.. Midnightstar finally took a deep breath and walked over to the RiverClan warrior, "Hello again," She meowed, sitting down and looking at Viperstrike. "Those fish were good yesterday, thank you." Midnightstar's eyes stayed narrowed and continued the stare at Viperstrike's eyes. "Remember- you're on ThunderClan territory. I should be fighting you away- and most cats in the forest know not to fight me.." She looked down and mumbled, "And most don't know that I'm not always so quiet, either.." Midnightstar shook her head and looked directly into Viperstrike's eyes again, waiting for him to say something.

Viperstrike scented her and immediately crossed the stepping stones and scooped out a fish quickly. He pounced onto the rocks with the fish in his mouth as Midnightstar appeared. The white tom dropped the silver fish and sat down with his bushy tail wrapped neatly around his paws. "You are welcome, Midnightstar." He mewed gently, his deep voice rolling like thunder in his throat. Then she said she should be fighting him off. His heart sank slightly, but he blinked back calmly. "Well, if you fight me off, I will let you. I will not raise tooth or claw against you. Afterall, I wouldn't want to damage your pretty pelt." He purred softly and nudged the fish toward the black she-cat with his snow white muzzle. "Another gift." He muttered with slight embarrassment. He sighed heavily and closed his eyes, thinking. Viperstrike looked at Midnightstar. "I am very sorry, Midnightstar, and it is very difficult for me to say this, but..." He paused. "I-I... I can't get you out of my head. Every time I close my eyes, you are behind my eye lids. Every where I look, I see you even if you aren't there..." He stopped and waited for a reaction.
It sucks. I know.

('Tis fine- I usually don't post as much in my posts as I do on CoTF, lol)
Midnightstar flinched, "Pretty pelt" Her green eyes softened. I can't fight him! He's too kind to me... She thought. "Thank you," She whispered soothingly, crouching to eat the fish. She sat back up and cleaned her whiskers, wondering what to say or do next.
Viperstrike's words felt as if a cat had slashed at Midnightstar's heart. She felt pierced, and her feelings were crushed- not their tough, usual selves. "Viperstrike.." She whispered. Midnightstar gulped and her voice recovered as she padded over to Viperstrike, "Will you take me as your mate?" She asked. I know I shouldn't, I know that StarClan will be angry with me, I know that I'm ThunderClan's leader, not RiverClan's, but... How could I deny him when he's so kind to me? He really likes me, and... Well... I just can't say no- my feelings toward cats in other Clans should be allowed to be just as strong as the cats in my own Clan- the ones I'm supposed to trust and all of that..

The white tom blinked several times, surprised. He had expected her to slash his muzzle and tell him that he should worry about his own clan. He hadn't expected her to ask him to be her mate. He purred loudly and threw himself at Midnightstar, rubbing against her with his throat roaring with uncontrolled purring. "Of course I will!" He mewed and rubbed his cheek against her face. He looked at her straight in the eye. "After all, you do crazy things when you're... in love." He blinked at her and licked her cheek. "I don't know how we'll do this, Midnightstar. But I promise you with all my heart and soul! I will make this work!" He promised with determination in his mew. He looked at the darkening sky and saw the moon rising. "I... um... well... uh..." He sighed. At a loss for words. He rubbed against her again. The gathering had been last night and he had asked her to meet him here, and this is what had come of it. He looked at her longingly. "Midnightstar. I... I want to join ThunderClan so I can always be with you! That is... if you'll have me." He paused and looked at her.

Midnightstar purred, not able to leash it. She knew she shouldn't of- she knew it was a mistake- taking a mate from another Clan. This is going to be bad for- Midnightstar's nervous thoughts stopped, "Midnightstar. I... I want to join ThunderClan..." The words- those words were the solution. Perfect! She thought happily. "Of course, Viperstrike!" Midnightstar purred, licking the tom's cheek back from before.
"This is going to be bad for RiverClan and ThunderClan's reputations, but who cares? How should we go about this- we can't really just walk into RiverClan's camp and explain to Jadestar- I mean, it just... It wouldn't work- she'd deny us permission, wouldn't she? Besides- that'd be very bold of us and might mean a fight.." The ThunderClan leader meowed, her green eyes showing worry and thoughtfullness as possibilities ran through the she-cat's anxious and nervous mind.

Viperstrike growled as Jadestar was mentioned. But then she went on to say how this would damage her clan's reputation. "I could always stay in RiverClan." He mewed softly, "If it means your clan is safe from RiverClan." He immediately tossed the words away, he didn't want to part from Midnightstar. "Actually... I don't care! I don't care what RiverClan thinks, or what ThunderClan thinks. I love you and that is all that matters to me." He declared. He rubbed against her again. "And besides, RiverClan won't see me again until the next gathering I hope." He blinked lovingly at Midnightstar. "May I come home?" He wasn't sure what she would say as he asked her cautiously. He sat down and waited for an answer as he licked his paw and swiped it over his ears.
OOC: Total suckishness, sorry. xD

(Naw, it's all good!=^_^=)
"No, please- I'm sick of watching my Clanmates with their mate while sleeping alone in my den," Midnightstar purred and licked her mate's fur a bit kindly and embarrassingly. She hadn't meant to so blatantly put the truth out- she was always a quiet cat, so she figured no cat realized that she'd always secretly wanted a cat to be close to- a friend or mate. In fact, Midnightstar did have a mate at one point- a ThunderClan tom named Rainpelt- who'd died in battle.. She'd recently bared his kits- Dawnkit and Duskkit. "Besides, my Clanmates have to understand me and my wants a bit, you know? It can't always just be about ThunderClan- I've a life too.."
Midnightstar shook the loneliness out of her head and meowed, 'I agree- as much as I'd like to be like that, I really can't- I'm ThunderClan's leader.." She listened to the rest of Viperstrike's words and finally made her decision, "Yes, you may come home- to ThunderClan." Midnightstar purred happily, returning the blink.

He almost bounced with delight when she accepted him into her clan. He rubbed against her with love and joy as he headed toward the trees. "Thank you." He mewed and raced into the forest, stopping to look at Midnightstar with happiness before charging into the forest. Suddenly, the flutter of wings whispered in Viperstrike's ears and he immediately crouched low. He wrapped his tail tightly against his side and flattened his ears, his eyes scanning for the bird. There! It was a robin. He stepped lightly, taking his time, as the bird pecked at the ground. Viperstrike watched it intently as it struggled to pull a worm out of the ground. He knew he had only seconds to catch this bird. He waggled his haunches, ready to pounce, as the bird fluttered toward the trees. Viperstrike launched himself into the air with his powerful hind legs, foreclaws out. The bird shrieked with panic at the tom and pumped its wings faster. Viperstrike batted the bird out of the air and watched it hit the ground with a thud. He hissed as he landed and leaped onto the bird, biting the back of its neck and killing it. He looked at Midnightstar. "My first gift to ThunderClan." He mewed softly.

Midnightstar watched as her mate got the bird, "That was very good!" She purred, trotting over to him. She admired the fact that the tom could catch the bird so well, "I'd never have expected a RiverClanner to be able to catch a bird- and that was well done!" She licked his cheek and blinked, "Shall we continue walking and chatting or head back to ThunderClan and make the announcement?" The leader asked. She didn't mind either way- in fact, she'd have preferred to simply go on a walk, but she didn't know if Viperstrike would want to just head to camp and get the announcement over and done with- so she decided to just give him the choice.
