Thundersong got to her paws, pretending to look pained as she held one paw off of the ground. "I'll be right back," she meowed to Eclipsestar her eyes as unreadable as ever as she looked at him. The black she cat pricked her ears, and began to follow him, a storm raging behind her usual mask of nothingness. "Lead the way," she meowed in her silky smooth voice.

Thundersong limped after him, and as she caught up with him in the clearing she dropped her wounded warrior act quickly and moved to stand squarely in front of the impossibly handsome tom. "And what is that, Tickpelt?" she asked her voice like water running over rock, her yellow orange eyes showing the barest hint of gaurded curiousity. Thundersong's heart thumped hard in her chest, though you'd never be able to tell. The black she cat looked up at him, her thick fully tail swaying to and fro slowly. "Is it about The Deliverance?" 

Thundersong's eyes widened as he spoke those words to her, her cloudy emotionless mask seeming to fall away. "Tickpelt.." she meowed as she stepped closer to him, "I..Don't you know I feel the same way about you?" Thundersong's eyes dropped to the gash on his neck, "Seeing you hurt, hurts me. O know exactly how you feel. I don't know what I would do or what I would be if I lost you."The black she cat gazed deep in to his eyes, serious and tender. "Yes, Tickpelt." she whispered. "I think you're right. Two of the four leaders should be conjoined." her fire colored eyes searched his, intense as ever as she moved closer only a breath away, her thick tail brushing him softly under his chin.

Thundersong's own eyes brimmed with tears as she finally let all of her emotions go, "Of course, i'll be your mate Tickpelt." she murmuered, tears beggining to fall, "I love you, forever. You're everything ive ever wanted, you're all ive ever truly needed." gentle as butterfly wings she kissed his cheek, for the first time in her life she was vulnerable. She had waited for this for so long, and now her best friend, her partner in crime, was her mate. "Ive dreamed of this for so long, Tickpelt. I always knew you were my soul mate. Ive always wanted to grow old with you and have a family." the black she cat trembled with the weight of emotions she was feeling as she pressed her face to his drinking in his scent, her fire colored eyes glazed as more tears fell. "I was so scared id never get to have you as my mate," she confessed. "I didn't know you felt the same way. The night you found me on the border..it was as if lightning had struck my heart."

Thundersong wanted to sob as he told her he would never leave her, everyone in her life had always left her. All of the weak loveless cats she once had in her life when she was barely more than a kit. She had always been abandoned and forgotten. But Thundersong knew this was different. "I will be by your side forever. I'll always be loyal to you, Tickpelt." she bit her lip to try to stop crying as well, just barely manageing to stop the tears from falling. Thundersong lay her head on his chest, her delicate looking muzzle parting in a soft sigh. "I love you," she mewd her honey smooth voice tender, as she used her tail to wipe away the rest of her tears. A smile errupted on her face for a heart beat as she closed her eyes and savored this moment.

Uno and Nightmarehowl appeared over a hill from sunclan's side of the border and made their way to the cats below. smelling dog scent and a scent of blood hanging in the air. the two of them noticed tickpelt and thundersong then eclispestar soon after.

Eclipsestar's head swam. She wasn't that sure what was going on, only that she seemed to be surrounded by other cats. She stood up shakily and looked around, and her eyes narrowed. // Foxfang stepped closer so that his ginger pelt was out of the shadows. "So, what now?" He asked Rivertwist, but he was pretty sure he knew what the answer would be.

Nightmarehowl nodded in greeting felt like glaring at rivertwist but kept his emotionless face on. // "Its nice to see you tickpelt and thundersong. I would have been here ealier but i had to get nightmarehowl before coming," Uno told them.

Thundersong nodded at her now mate Tickpelt, her cloudy emotionless mask put back on. The pretty black she cat raised her tail in greeting, nodding to each tom in turn, "Welcome." she meowed, her silky voice monotone. " Well you're here now." she looked at Eclipsestar expressionlessly, her ear flicking.
