Moonshine lay in the sunlight on the rocks, her body spread out on its side. She felt the warmth spread through her and she sighed happily. She was so glad she could come out here and just relax every once in a while. She noticed her brother's stare and smiled. "What's up?"
Sunbeam smiled. "Nothing, except that you're the prettiest sister a tom could ask for." He chuckled. His sister's pelt seemed to produce its own glow as the sunlight washed over her. What he didn't realize was that his own pelt shone like a miniature sun also.

Watching from afar, a black tom weaved through the shadows of the forest and stopped just before he reached the light. There she was, possibly the most beautiful cat he had ever seen sitting on a rock, mere meters away. He stared longingly, if only he could talk to her, if only he had the guts to. He though of how his life had beem before this moment, and decided there was nothing to look, so plucking up the courage he padded over to the rocks and sat down.H-hi! he mewed in a friendly, yet somewhat nervous tone.

Sunbeam's eyes snapped up to see the gaze of a fellow ThunderClanner. He smiled at his sister, figuring it was just another tom with his little act to get his sister. He brushed against his sister, then left, to wait at camp.
To: Camp
Moonshine sat up a little and smiled at the tom before her. He was a handsome tom. She was surprised to feel attracted to him. She had not been attracted to a tom except a few crushes when she was an apprentice. she cleared her throat, then spoke. "Hello. I'm Moonshine." She suddenly felt self-conscious standing in the sunlight, gleaming like a gem. She licked her chest, then waited for the tom's response.

Im Nightfire, he replied, not nearly as nervous as before. In the sunlight she looked like a warrior had decended from the great Silverpelt and blessed the tom with her presence. Nice day to be sunning, he observed in a nonchelant(sp) manner.

Moonshine nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's wonderful. The warmth just spreads through you." She said, a sad smile on her face. "This may be the last few warm days we have." He whole body shuddered at the thought. But even in leaf-bare was was never cold. Nor did she look any less beautiful in the light from the sun. It just wasn't the same. She looked at Nightfire again. "I think I've seen you around camp, right?"

Nightfire looked into the sun, it seemed the day had just started, and already it was beginning to darken slightly. Days were getting shorter, and however much he wanted to deny it, Moonshine was right. There WOULDN'T be many nice days from this point on, and prey would become scarce. He too shuddered at the thought of the icey winds whipping through his winter coat. Snapping back to reality, the tom looked into the face of the beautiful warrior and nodded,yes, most likely. I have been in ThunderClan my whole life.

Moonshine smiled. "That's good. I wish I could have been born into the Clan." Her memories went back to the day her mother left her brother and her alone in ThunderClan territory. "Take care of yourselves. This is the best place for you." She had said. She had proceeded to leave them alone in the dark of the night until a ThunderClan patrol had found them. She shuddered once more as she remembered the cold leaf-bare winds that had whipped through their short coats. She remembered huddling close to Sunbeam, hoping morning and the bright warm sun would come out soon. She looked up at the tom before her. "I guess I do, anyway."

Moonshine smiled at his shock. "I grew up in the Clan since I was 5 moons old, but before then, Sunbeam's and my mother was a loner. Our father was a rogue. She left us here for our safety." She looked away from his gaze, unable to subjugate (conquer, lol) the sadness that seized her. She missed her mother's warm gaze and love. Her mother had always been her role model. She always tried to think of what her mother would do. Of course her mother hadn't been perfect. She had abandoned her kits, even if it was for their safety. But she had disappeared, and Moonshine wondered if she was dead. The tears sprang to her eyes, and she ducked her head to hide the stray that slid down her cheek.

Im glad your here, but I'm sorry about your mother, he mewed sympathetically. His own mother was dead, there was no chance of her comming back one day to find him .. and if she did that would be bad, it would mean it was his time to go to StarClan. He saw Moonshine's unwelcome tears, eventhough she tried to hide it, Moonshine! Don't be sad, its okay. Your mother loved you, she did it for you, it must have killed her to leave you two, but she knew it was for the best! he said, trying to comfort the she~cat, atleast you have a chance of seeing you nother again, mine is dead and will never ocme back.

Moonshine nodded, but looked him in the eyes. "But that's why she left us here, was because she feared our father would find us. He might have killed her...." She suddenly found herself leaning against him for comfort. She had had sad conversations with her brother, but she'd always had to hold herself together for his sake before.
(ooc- i'm joining their momma, and maybe we could make part of a plotty with her, then the rest Mony can be some special kitty, lol)

I'm sure your mother is fine, you where kits and couldn't fend for yourselves, she was full grown, said the tom, trying to comfort the pretty she~cat. When he felt the cat lean against him, the skin under his fur tingled, shh, he said,everything will be okay. I willl always be here for you.

Moonshine could hear the concern for her behind the tom's words and suddenly knew this was the tom she'd been searching for. He might be her best friend, and maybe someday, her mate. She just needed to know....did he like her like she liked him? "Th-thank you. I must seem silly, blubbering to you when I first meet you. I'm not usually this....depressing."

Moonshine smiled at the stuttering tom. "It's not your fault. I guess it's because I'm always having to be strong for my brother, and I never let myself get close to someone so I can cry on their shoulder." She still hadn't stopped leaning on him. "I like you a lot, Nightfire."
