Tigerlily of RiverClan Chapter 6

"Tigerlily! Loinpelt! Iceclaw! Flurrysong!" the clan chanted.

Tigerlily attempted to keep a calm expression. Flurrysong was fluffing up her pelt with some slight embarrassment. Loinpelt puffed out his chest with pride, while Iceclaw was looking around, bewildered, as if he wasn't sure wether or not this was a dream.

Tigerlily padded over to Currentclaw, Nightfall, and Rainclaw, "Thank you. You all helped me become a warrior. And for that, I couldn't be more grateful," she rubbed her cheek along Rainclaw's jaw, nuzzled Currentclaw, and preesed her cheek against Nightfall's.

"No, thank you, Tigerlily. You couldn't have been a better apprentice, kind and hard-working, I never thought for a moment that you would let me down," Currentclaw replied fondly.

Tigerlily sat up stiffly from her vigil once dawn broke the horizon. "Iceclaw, can I speak to you for a moment?" Tigerlily requested.

Iceclaw replied, " 'Course."

Once they reached a concealed part of camp, Tigerlily started, "Iceclaw, we've known each other all our lives. And you even saved mine. So, to be honest," Tigerlily looked up shyly, "I think I've fallen in love with you."

Iceclaw stared at her in suprisee, "Am I still asleep? Because this isn't sounding like reality."

Tigerlily looked at the ground, embarassedd, "No, this is real."

"Then, will you be my mate?" Iceclaw broke the short silence.

Now it was Tigerlily's turn to be suprisedd. His reaction had given her the impression that he'd deny, "Yes!"

Iceclaw smiled, "Then let's get building our nest."
