Ivysong padded towards the Dark Lake, where she was supposed to meet Foxstride. The sun's bright rays beat down upon her as she walked. She looked at the lake and the sky's reflection that was cast upon it. It looks so peaceful...She thought. She walked closer, pushing through the tall grass that seemed to reach towards her as she went past. Finally she made it to the side of the lake. Ivysong sat down at the water's edge, and looked into the water. She saw her own reflection gazing back at her. Then she heard someone approaching, and turned to see who it was. But she saw no one. "Hello?" She called. "Is anyone there?"

Foxstride leapt out from a cluster of undergrowth and landed with a thud on Ivysong's back. "Hi," he laughed. Getting off, he padded to the water's edge and gazed out along the horizon. "We've got to be careful around here," he warned her, "I saw huge sea monsters recently."

"Really?" Ivysong meowed, her voice genuinely curious as she looked at Foxstride. "I've heard that from a few other cats too." She then turned her gaze back to the lake. "So have have you been lately?" She asked, her green eyes shining as she dipped the tip of her tail into the water. Before Foxstride could answer, she swung her tail out of the water to splash the tom. She turned to face him, a smile on her muzzle.

"Ack!" Foxstride exclaimed, jumping back. He stepped forward, eyes narrowing playfully. Sunbeams bounced off his fur turning it a ruddy red as he grinned at her. "You'll pay for that," he laughed, shaking himself vigorously and getting the dark water all over Ivysong. He darted back a fox-length away, keeping his distance in case she tried to do the same. In his hurry he lost his footing and slid a few rabbit-lengths down the shore into the murky lake. He tried to get back out helplessly, but only sunk deeper. Then his head vanished as the lake seemed to swallow him up. Moments later, behind Ivysong where she couldn't see, Foxstride's muzzle bobbed up and then his head. He chuckled and silently dragged himself out of the water, dripping wet. He laughed in spite of himself, growing hot under his pelt. "Over here!" he called.

Ivysong searched the lake frantically when Foxstride went under the surface. Her green eyes grew dark with worry. A few seconds later, when he emerged, she turned and laughed. "Too bad you can't see yourself." She meowed, chuckling as she padded over to him.

Foxstride shook himself again, but this time there was more water to splash on Ivysong. He laughed again, eyes twinkling. "If only you could...," he murmured, referring not to the water, but to something else, something hidden just beyond his glowing amber eyes. If only you could see how beautiful you are. Sweet, and pretty...I can't tell her, I'm not brave enough..Not nearly...

Ivysong chuckled as the water splashed her body. Then she slammed her paw into the lake, bringing a small wave of water crashing into Foxstride. "But underneath all that water..." She meowed, "You're actually a really handsome tom." Then she flinched a little. She hadn't meant to say that out loud, but now that she had, she just waited to see what Foxstride would say.

Foxstride raised one handsome eyebrow. "Oh, am I?" he muttered, "You need to see yourself." He was growing quiet, but he pushed Ivysong gently to the water's edge. He looked into the water, and the sunshine made her reflection clear and as beautiful as ever, depsite her ragged wet pelt. "Look into the lake...," he murmured, "What do you see?" He turned his head to face her, blinking. "I see the most beautiful she-cat in the whole of the ten Clans."

Ivysong purred, her green eyes gleaming and her body growing hot with embarrassment as she gazed into the water as Foxstride had directed. When she gained enough courage to look at the tom again, she turned and meowed with a smile, "I love you."

Foxstride, for one short second, had a flustered look on his face like he couldn't believe this was happening. But then it changed to a look of sheer happiness. He leaned in with a huge grin. "Ivysong, I love you too," he whispered in her ear.

Ivysong purred with happiness as she tried not to chuckle at the look on Foxstride's face a few moments before. She was so happy that she had finally gathered enough courage to tell Foxstride how she felt. Her green eyes glimmered happily and she looked back into the lake, not sure what to say next.
