"I think I found some!" 

The boy rushed from Meteorfall's side, his voice ringing proud as he spotted the green, spongy target he was looking for. Of course, was his favourite object in the whole entire world: moss. But unlike many times before, he wasn't looking for moss to make a ball to play with. This time, he was out searching so he could make his new nest as comfortable as it could be. And besides, this was his first nest in the Warrior's Den. No way in Starclan would he allow his first warrior's nest be anything short of perfect!

So he broke from the side of his best friend and bounded off to where a fallen log lay, and just as he hoped, sprigs of fuzzy green moss sprouted alongside. He didn't want to brag, but he knew that he was Mistclan's best moss finder! And with Meteorfall looking alongside, Finchtongue was certain that if the two of them were given the chance, they would bring back enough moss to drown their clan mates in less than a couple day's worth of work.

"There's a whole ton of it! I knew it!" he purred, gently kneading his paws on the moss before he would begin to strip it to carry. "It's real soft too, huh? Don't you just love moss?" oh yes he knew that he loved moss. Moss was very good and lovable.

Meteorfall was walking along with Finchtongue, her short pelt brushing against his long, fluffy fur. They were out looking for moss, Finch had told her that he wanted his first nest in the warriors den to be as comfy as possible. She had to admit that she agreed, no one likes a uncomfortable nest. Soon enough, Finch found some. "There's a whole ton of it! I knew it! It's real soft too, huh? Don't you just love moss?" She giggled, pawing at the moss with one of her forepaws. "Yes, Finch, moss is great. It's really soft. It'll be perfect for our nests!" She smiled at him, they had really been spending time a lot together lately.

She didn't know about Finch, but she absolutely loved him. They had been friends ever since they were kittens, and he was just so cute, funny, kind, sweet.. just amazing. He had probably been oblivious to it, but that didn't matter. She loved him, and that was that. Of course, she'd break it to him soon, but they were collecting moss, she'd tell him later.

[Dofferz!]

Finch, of course, didn't really know how Meteor actually felt because he was simply an oblivious fuzzball. Wasn't exactly the brightest cat in the den, but he didn't mind. He probably picked that up from hanging around Ravenwing. But like usual, the bicolour was rather proud of himself when Meteorfall agreed that he had found a good bit of moss. Spongy, soft, green, nest worthy moss.

And seemingly pleased with her conformation that the moss was good, he made quick work to start gathering the green. Slice and ball, slice.

Man he really liked moss.

And Meteor.

Moss and Meteor were good things.
He realized that a long while ago, but only was it now that he truly understood how important these two things were to him.

"you're a good friend, Meteorfall." Finchtongue hummed lightly, casting a warm glance to the grey female. He had me tons of cats in his lifetime--Ivyclan and Mothclan as well--but none of them meant as much as she did to him. Only Meteorfall, it seemed, constantly put up with his babbling on about moss and only Meteorfall stayed with him in the Sad Forest to keep Rosespark company. Not even Tansy stayed there with him because she had never returned to the dream lands when they slept. "You're very nice. Like moss."

[GnawingOnIce]

Meteorfall's ears pricked a bit when Finch started complimenting her, "you're a good friend, Meteorfall. You're very nice. Like moss." A soft blush spread across Meteor's face, just noticeable. A purr rumbled in her chest and she nuzzled Finch's cheek with hers, "You're very nice too." Maybe Finch was starting to catch on, she sure hoped he was. "I'm so happy you came and talked to me on the journey when we were kits. I don't know what I'd do without you, you silly furball!" She laughed. You could just hear the purr that was still in her chest. Starclan, she was probably the happiest she'd ever been.. and never wanted to let this go.

[Dofferz!]

Finchtongue smiled and waved his tail. "Yea, I needed someone to explore Twolegplace with me and Nightfur!" he purred, eyes glittering in remembrance. "That was so many moons ago. Can you believe it? Remember how big the mountain was and how cold it got way up high? If the warm was cold up high, what do ya think it'll be like in the warm where it's warm like down here?" grown rather used to colder temperatures, he could hardly imagine what it would feel like during Greenleaf on the ground behind a waterfall instead of up a mountain. However, his attention darted back to the twoleg place, and the bicolour wrinkled his nose. "That place really was stinky and loud and the hard rock wasn't smooth like the big mountain; it really hurt my paws. But I'm sure it won't hurt no more because we're all grown up now! We're big and tough and brave warriors and no hard rocks can stop us ever again!!"

[GnawingOnIce]

Meteorfall grinned as Finchtongue spoke about the memories he and Meteorfall shared. "I bet it'll be really warm and nice, and everything will be green! The twoleg place was bad, I thought we'd have to stay there until we were warriors!" She expressed the worry she had had as a kitten, but the negative feelings faded as soon as they were there. "Yea! We're stronger than we were before." She agreed with him, laughing a bit.

She glanced at the moss just laying there beside them while they shared the memories they had together, "Should we get this back? We can always come back for more. There'll be lots more during new-leaf!"

[Dofferz!]

Green! "I really like green." he blabbed, mostly to nobody in particular. Finchtongue curled his tail as he imagined how pretty it really would be during newleaf. He had only seen it as a camp. Unlike many other kits, however, he had seen the pretty green outside of camp during his kit days as the two clans had traveled down the mountain, but just image as a warrior! All the pretty flowers and squishy moss and warm weather. No more sticky, col ice that hurts tongues.

"What if we had lived in the twoleg place?" he gasped, suddenly realizing that that could of happened. "Yuck, how do cats live there?" disgusting and hard rock and scary twolegs! But alas, they didn't settle there. The clans found their home, and he and Meteorfall had helped!

Oh yes! He had almost forgotten! "Yea, c'mon! I need to make my nest nice and comfy before we've to go sleep! but we ain't gotta worry--surely warriors don't have bedtimes! We can stay up as looong as we want and, and, uh..." Finchtongue drawled off, trying to think of what a warrior could even do without a bedtime. "Well, I'm sure I'll think of what warriors can do awake soon enough!" he announced, leaping up onto his paws. Turning to the pile of moss, Finchtongue leaned down, grasping a large mouthful.

[GnawingOnIce]

Meteorfall nodded, "Me too, it reminds me of my eyes sometimes." For a moment she admired how Finch would just randomly say things he liked out loud. Personally, she was excited for new-leaf and all the cute kittens that would come with it. Ah, the kits! All the kits! She was pulled from her thoughts when Finch asked what would've happened if they had lived in twoleg place.

"I'm not sure, however I do know that we wouldn't be as happy as we are right now." She fondly gazed at him. Meteor giggled as Finch rambled about staying up, "We could just get some good rest." She nudged his shoulder playfully before grabbing the rest of the moss and trotted off toward camp, assuming Finch would be following, with her tail kinked in the air.

[Dofferz!]

Well, he certainly was happy that Meteorfall was happy. At her comment on simply getting sleep, he huffed, dramatically looking defeated. "I guess you're right." After all, they may not have bedtimes, but they had all the warrior work and jobs that they had to save up their energy for. I mean, truly the workload was lighter without the pressure of daily training, and until they themselves became mentors, hunting and patrolling were their main duties, right? And besides, no sleep meant no nice, dark, totally not evil cats like Rosespark.

After the nudge, Finchtongue followed after Meteorfall back to the Mistclan camp. He was gonna have such a good nest!
