Dandypaw stared at Fizzlepaw and Russetpaw. He felt the tension coming off of the two she-cats waiting to here his answer. He looked over to where some of the clan had gathered around them at the Sky Oak. He gulped unsure of who to pick. Dandypaw felt his paws shift and his fur on his shoulders start to rise. He looked between them again, and felt tears come to his eyes. I can't pick!he thought to himself. I might as well just go and die. It'll be better for all of us. Before he knew it, Dandypaw felt his paws carrying him past Fizzlepaw and Russetpaw, to the lake. He heard the thundering of the other cats coming after him but he didn't care. But when he was about to stop he gave out a loud yelp. There was no groud beneath his paws anymore. He was falling, into the mass of the lake. There was a splash and lots of water, then there was nothing.

Russetpaw was the only cat who didn't skid to a stop. She leaped in after him with a fierce yowl. "Dandypaw!" she cried out as her body hit the water. The dark liquid surged around her and she tried to cry out, her lungs filling with water. She sunk her teeth in to what appeared to be Dandypaw's scruff and dragged him ashore. "Dandypaw, no! Dandypaw!" she wailed, nudging him with her nose. "Dandypaw, I love you!" she cried.

But... the cat wasn't Dandypaw. It was the rouge Night. Dandypaw was still swimming, trying to get away from the sad yowls of Russetpaw and Fizzlepaw.
But finally after minutes of exhausting swimming Dandypaw was slammed up against a rock and went uncocious near the shores of the gathering's island.

Russetpaw stared in shock at the unconcious Night. Then, she leaped after Dandypaw, yowling his name. "Dandypaw!" she cried out, sinking her teeth in to the older cats scruff. She eventually pulled him ashore and sobbed. "Dandypaw, I love you! Don't die! Be Fizzlepaw's mate if you must, but just don't die!" she cried.

Night shifted and looked gratefully at Russetpaw before fainting again.

Russetpaw looked back at the dark handsome tom and sighed.
