Spottedleaf's Honest Answer

Spottedleaf's Honest Answer is a short story. It is narrated by Spottedleaf, and she talks about what she thinks about Firestar and Sandstorm. She welcomes the reader to StarClan, but assures them that it is not the time for them to stay. She starts with explaining about Firestar's history, but then breaks off when she realises that the reader already knows all that. She says that she loves Firestar as much as she ever did, and will watch over him forever, knowing that he will never belong to her. She explains that it wasn't love at first sight. She didn't notice him until he asked to care for Yellowfang. He saw past the fact that she had been born in ShadowClan. She said that, after her death, she sat in the clearing for one moon, hoping that Firepaw would join her. She said that, had she lived, and been cut off from him as a medicine cat, she would have walked with him, as he became a warrior, deputy, and then leader. She said that she wanted to wail like an abandoned kit when he told her that he couldn't be in love with a memory anymore. The story ends with Spottedleaf asking [[Cherrypaw (SHA)|Cherrypaw to show the border to the reader.
