Wildspot snapped his head up as he heard Fleetwing's scream. As soon as he heard it, he knew something had gone wrong and he immediately took off in her direction, completely forgetting the heat.
What could have happened? Why didn't I follow her? How could I be so stupid?
He hoped desperately that he would get there in time. He wished he wasn't so slow for a WindClan cat!
"Fleetwing, where are you?" he called, already fearing the worst.

Fleetwing heard Wildspot's voice some ways away, back approximately where she had started to chase that curst rabbit. "I'm right here!" she sobbed. "About to go over the cliff, Wildspot, help me!" She scrabbled for a better purchase. Looking down, she squeaked and tried to swallow. Big mistake. The water was far, far below her, rushing and roaring. She could almost feel the gleeful water pouring over her like a plague of rats, filling her world, darkening her eyes and flooding, flooding into her mouth, snuffing out her life. "Please hurry!" she gasped. She closed her grey eyes and tried not to think of the drop. Her fur would weight her down until she fell, sank down into the darkest depths, and go to join her ancestors in StarClan, walk with stars in her fur...
She slipped a little. Please, StarClan, I'm not ready! I have so much to live for...Wildspot, I have Wildspot! Please, I'll be a better warrior, just don't let me die!

"I'm coming, hold on!" Wildspot assured.
How is she over the cliff?
That question wasn't important right now; what was important was getting to Fleetwing in time. He rushed as fast as his legs would take him.
Please StarClan, let me reach her in time!
Hope flooded through him as he emerged from some bushes and saw that she was still hanging on. Quickly he darted over to her, sunk his fangs in the scruff of her neck, and struggled to pull her up.

Fleetwing gasped with relief as Wildspot's teeth grabbed her scruff and dragged her up. The rocky edge of the gorge scraped against her belly, causing some of the dirt and loose stones along the edge to tumble into the watery maelstrom below. She scrabbled at the cliff with her back claws, panting with relief as she reached solid ground once more. She panted and buried her face into his long fur. "Wildspot," she gasped. "Thank you...thank StarClan..." She trailed off, trembling with adrenaline. "I was chasing a rabbit," she explained once she had calmed down. "But it swerved and I fell...Wildspot, I'm so glad we're together."

"I'm glad, too," Wildspot breathed in relief. "It's okay, you're safe now."
He had never been so worried in his life. And there was something he wanted to say to her, because he cared so much for her now. So he looked into her eyes and said it.
"I love you, Fleetwing."

Fleetwing gazed at Wildspot, jaw dropped. At first, she didn't believe it. The wind...but there was no wind...could it be the river? She couldn't hear it properly anymore...Fleetwing found herself lost in his deep eyes, whirling in space like a few seconds before, falling with no landing...but Wildspot was with her. He would always be with her. "Wildspot..." she whispered. "I love you too...with all my heart." She ran her tail along his side and sighed deeply.

Wildspot smiled, for once at something that wasn't funny. It was a smile of relief and pure joy, for Fleetwing loved him back. He was speechless, the only thing in his mind the thought of always being with her, the one cat he cared the most for.
The buzz of a bee near by jerked him back to reality and finally words formed in his mouth.
"Shall we go now?"

Fleetwing purred as the moment stretched on, interrupted at last by an industrious bee. "Sure!" she meowed. "After all, it's still hot...we could get something to drink at least...maybe go hunting later." Hunting together, forever... Some deep inner chasm in Fleetwing had been filled, some need that she had never known about. Now Wildspot was there. Would always be there. And I will always be there for him, through fire, storm, and bloody claws, I will be there for Wildspot. I promise.

He purred and moved on, searching for food and water.
He had never felt the way he feels when he's with Fleetwing in his life, but he loved that feeling. Love? That was definitely it. He loved her and that was all there was to it.
His paw sunk slightly on a soft spot on the ground. Hope flared in him, and he started digging, finally revealing a small patch of water. Though it was small it was better than nothing. He looked at Fleetwing and smiled.
((So should one of us contact Twi or Nay about kits, or do you think we need a bit more RP?))

((Personally, I think they're ready. But there may be some extra requirements for kits...so shall I PM Twi? Because I think they're ready!))
Fleetwing beamed at the pool of water Wildspot had unearthed. She gazed at Wildspot with love in her eyes--and she was certain that she could see it in his as well. Delicately, she dipped her head and lapped at the cool, earthy water. While there was still most of it left, she stood aside. The scent of a rabbit attracted her attention, and she flew at it, bringing it down and dragging it back, beaming, to her mate.

((Yeah, you can go PM her, 'cause I think they're ready. xD ))
Wildspot waited patiently for Fleetwing to finish lapping at the water and in turn felt the cool liquid slide down his throat. When she raced after a rabbit, he kept his eye on her, watching as she killed it and brought it back. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her again.

((Sent the PM! Now we'll just have to wait...))
Fleetwing twined her tail around Wildspot's. "Would you like to catch a rabbit yourself, or should we head back to camp?" It was getting hot--unbearably hot as the sun approached its zenith. She was all for heading back towards camp and taking a nap in what little shade they could find with Wildspot. From now on, she wanted to do everything with him.

((Waiting...))
"Let's just head back to camp," Wildspot purred.
He didn't feel like chasing after a rabbit, despite the energy the water had given him. He just wanted to rest in the shade with Fleetwing.

Fleetwing nodded, picked up the rabbit, and followed him back to camp. There was no breeze, and the ground was hot as anything under foot, but she didn't care. Wildspot was all she needed; a promise of a nap in the shade with him cooled her paws, her shivers of joy and excitement fluffing her fur and cooling her down.
((Well, Twi said yesterday that she's not in the mood for coloring right now. Maybe we should just keep limping along as best we can?))

((Yeah, okay. xD ))
Wildspot lay down in what little shade wasn't being already populated by clan members. He watched as a few kits tumbled past him, seemingly unaffected by the heatwave. He looked at Fleetwing and wondered what was on her mind. Did she want kits?
