A {Sparkle} In the {Rain}

[Deleted]

SparklePaw had wanted to speak with RainWing, she was almost desperate. No, she didn't have a crush on him, she wanted to keep warning him about things in the future.

She came to him in a dream this time.

"RainWing?"

Rainwing immedietely recognized the starry surroundings of Starclan as he slept. He had not gotten a good night's rest in a while, still feeling uneasy in this clan. But now, exhaustion beat out his nerves. He opened his eyes in his dream and he heard a familiar voice behind him. Sparklepaw? He turned to face her, smile dropping some as he heard the concern in her voice. "What is it Sparklepaw?"

[Deleted]

SparklePaw padded up to him, pressing her nose friendly against his.

She smiled softly, and sat, MoonShadow of course behind her. MoonShadow just sat there, smiling, intrigued by this moment of SparklePaw and RainWing.

"Nothing. Just wanted to visit, and warn you about two she-cats and a duplicate."

While she said that, she glanced behind her to glance at MoonShadow, who gave a brief nod, as in, it was alright to say that. She looked back, and gave a soft grin.

Rainwing blinked in surprise as she touched her nose to him, then nodded to her. So many she-cats were around him these days.....He dipped his head with respect to Moonshadow before looking back to Sparklepaw. "Two she-cats? And a duplicate? Can you please tell me more?" He asked with concern, frowning.

[Deleted]

MoonShadow now padded forward, sitting beside SparklePaw. MoonShadow sighed.

"I will tell you what I told FireStar-

Things will alter,
Things will blossom.

River will turn to Rain,
as for rue will turn seldom.

Miracles will face Needles and Ice,
Needles and Ice forming as one.""

MoonShadow spoke, her ears flickering. That should be clear, for RainWing always noticed.

"SparklePaw should of said One she-cat and a duplicate."

She cuffed her around the ear, making SparklePaw giggle.

Rainwing turned to Moonshadow with interest, listening carefully. Already his mind was at work trying to decipher the message from Starclan, because they would never just say it. "River will turn to Rain...." He repeated, thinking carefully. "That's me coming to Riverclan because they need me....as for rue will turn seldom..." He trailed off, knowing that meant they wouldn't regret anything for a while....Then he grimaced at the last part, not liking the way it sounded. Miracles will face Needles and Ice,
Needles and Ice forming as one." He said again, looking them both in the eyes. "Does that mean Miraclefur is in trouble? And Needleheart and Ice... Needleheart is the one I'm to be wary of."

[Deleted]

MoonShadow's ears twitched, for this tom was getting it quite right, expect a bit at the last part.

"Not nessicarily. You will see, and I know you will figure it out soon."

She smiled warmly to him.

"MiracleFur is just fine, and she will come out just fine. She will return, I can say that, but at a weird, funny time, and not in the same state."

She sighed, and shook her head slightly.

Rainwing sighed, looking down. "Okay, that's good...." He thought a minute, before realizing he wanted to ask them something before they left. "C-can I ask you one more thing?"

[Deleted]

SparklePaw looked back at MoonShadow, who seemed to nod her head. SparklePaw smiled, and looked back at RainWing.

"Yes?"

She blinked, her blue eyes sparkling with curiousity, although, they always sparkled, which gave her her name.

Rainwing looked down to his paws, scuffling his paws nervously. "What do I do....about Sunpaw?" He said softly, glancing up to them. "I know medicine cats are not to have these feelings but....I don't know what to do...."

[Deleted]

Both cats were silent for several moments. SparklePaw was going to speak, but MoonShadow swept her tail across her mouth for silence.

"RainWing. That is for you to decide. We do not hate you for those feelings, in fact, we quite ignored it. You are still quite young, and we know that, so we are letting you make that decision on what you should do."

Sparklepaw glanced at RainWing, for it was her turn to speak.

"RainWing, even if you still love SunPaw, and you guys are mates, not real ones, like.. secret, we will know of course, but, but, i will always be your friend!"

She stampered out, nuzzling RainWing's shoulder gently.

Rainwing sighed, not feeling comforted even by Sparklepaw's sign of encouragement. He nodded to Moonshadow, a little discouraged that he still could not have a straight forward answer. "Thank you...this one's all up to me this time." He murmured, shaking his head. They had made it for him to be medicine cat, why could this not be so simple? These thoughts would still bother him for a while it seemed....

[Deleted]

SparklePaw's eyes hollowed out, and took a few steps back. She obviously wasn't helping, and she could tell.

She let out a sigh, scuffling her paws, staring at the ground.

"I-I g-guess we s-should g-go now."

She murmured, not wanting to.

Rainwing frowned, looking up to her unhappily. "Sparklepaw, I'm sorry....I'm glad you're watching out for me." He said softly, taking a step towards her and touching his nose to hers. He smiled softly, showing how charming he could be when he did. "Don't be mad at me, okay?"

[Deleted]

SparklePaw's eyes flickered with uncertainy, then with understanding.

"Don't be sorry.. I guess it's understandable.. I just wish I could help more!"

She flashed MoonShadow a playful glare, making MoonShadow's fur prickle with unease.

"But no. StarClan cats can't really help!"

She spat.

"I hate it!"

Then she looked back at RainWing, and let out a soft giggle.

"I'm not mad at you!"

She really wasn't, she understood how he felt, and it really was time for them to go, but she didn't want to. She looked at MoonShadow.

"Can we stay? Just a little bit longer..? Please?"

MoonShadow looked at RainWing.

"Okay.. just a little.. we got to get back soon, and of course.. I believe we need RainWing to say yes or no.. It is his dream, afterall."
