This is a short, of Fern x Fire, a little before Firestar's Quest, yet after the battle with Bloodclan. The clans are still suffering from their losses, and Shadowclan has a new leader. Tallstar seems to be aging harder, Firestar is still quite wary, Blackstar is quite smug over his new leadership, and Leopardstar..she is building back up her clan for a new beginning.

CHAPTER ONE
Ferncloud sat outside the nursery, watching her kits run around.
Shrewkit and Spiderkit were playing near a puddle, and quite energetic, for this was their first time outside of the nursery.
As Firestar approached, he was splashed with water from Spiderkit's splashing. "Shrewkit, apologize." Ferncloud said, but she couldn't suppress just the smallest bit of amusement in her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Shrewkit mewed, dipping his head slightly.
Firestar nodded and meowed, "Its alright!" Before heading out with the sunhigh patrol. Ferncloud gazed after him for a moment, before shaking her head. I shouldn't love you..I can't love you. was what echoed in the she cat's mind briefly.
Firestar padded along the border's with Dustpelt, Sandstorm, and Rainpaw behind him as the sun shone down. He wrinkled his nose as they approached the Shadowclan border. Rainpaw couldn't help but let out a hiss of disgust as they passed to renew the border markers. "C'mon, lets get moving. They're heading for the Windclan border, see?" Sandstorm said, almost saying that just to reassure herself. "Right." Meowed Firestar, and they padded on, renewing scent markers along the border as they went.
When the sunhigh patrol returned, Dustpelt went straight to see Ferncloud and their kits. Dustpelt felt as if Ferncloud was far off in another forest, however. "Whats wrong?" He inquired, gazing at his mate for a moment. "Nothing.." Ferncloud said, which, was a flat out lie.
It was four sunrises after the border patrol. Prey was running well, but Ferncloud was never hungry. Even though she hadn't eaten in a couple sunrises, she just felt so..wrong.
Cinderpelt had inquired earlier in the morning, but Ferncloud stayed hollow. Whenever Firestar passed, she would gaze, and wonder, and want, but feel horrible all at the same time. Sometimes Sandstorm would see this, and feel like a badger, but Sandstorm just shrugged off her feelings as well. Firestar loves Sandstorm..not me. And I should love Dustpelt.. Ferncloud would tell herself over and over. It just wouldn't go away.
'Make it stop. I don't want to..' was what anyone in the nursery would here the poor gray queen mumbling in her sleep, and she would wake up with a small whine.
Sandstorm turned over in her sleep. She was growing quite jealous, and almost felt like she wanted to send Ferncloud flying off lately. When Firestar walked by the nursery, Ferncloud would always look longingly, and Sandstorm would look quite poisonous when that happened. At first the light ginger warrior would've felt threatened by Spottedleaf, because Firestar loved Spottedleaf. But now that just seemed like a folly of irritance.
As the sun shone into the warrior's den, Sandstorm got up and padded over to Graystripe, whom was organizing dawn patrols.
"Sandstorm! Could you go get Sorrelpaw, Longtail, and Willowpelt to go on a hunting patrol with you?" Graystripe meowed, flicking his tail.
