Fearless

By Foxey

There's somethin' 'bout the way

The street looks when it's just rained

"RiverClan, to your dens!" Dapplestar commanded, raising her voice to be heard in the rainstorm. A few cats immediately bundled into their dens, their slick pelts flashing around and disappearing like colorful fish in a torrent of river. Only a few cats remained, drowsily padding off to their dens or hiding underneath bushes. Out of the few cats out of safety were two apprentices.

"What are you staring it?" Cherrypaw asked, her paws making slushing sounds as she walked over to her denmate. Brackenpaw was looking off into the distance, precipitation pattering down on his golden-brown pelt. Cherrypaw craned her neck to look into the tom's amber eyes. "Have you been hypnotized by the rain?" She joked. When he did not respond, she continued. "I wonder why your name isn't Waterpaw. Do you think your warrior name will be Brackenrain?"

The tom still didn't answer and Cherrypaw finally shoved him with her paw. "Stop being such a statue and answer me!" The golden apprentice finally spoke. "I'm just thinking how you would react if your warrior name was Cherryrain."

"Oh," Cherrypaw meowed, still stunned by his final response. "I wouldn't mind. Cherryrain is a pretty name. Brackenrain, however, is not." Brackenpaw laughed and Cherrypaw turned to go to the apprentice's den. "Coming?"

"Yeah," Brackenpaw shifted his paws a little bit. "But the rain is just so...so..."

"Beautiful," Cherrypaw finished, then rolled her eyes. "Bracken, you have a whole lifetime to stare at rain. We're RiverClan! And you'd better get moving before Dapplestar bites your ears off."

"I would do no such thing," A jokingly offended voice said to their west. "Am I really that scary?" Cherrypaw ducked her head in embarrassment while Brackenpaw laughed. "Careful 'bout what you say, Cherrypaw."

"It's fine." Dapplestar laughed. "Anyways, she's right Brackenpaw. You'd best head back to your den." Cherrypaw realized that they were the last ones out in camp. "You can go on the next stream patrol if you'd like," Dapplestar continued.

"Really?!" Brackenpaw asked, waving his tail in excitement.

"Yes," Dapplestar meowed. "If you want." She paused and her whiskers twitched in amusement. "Now head along to your nest, or else I might bite your ear."

Brackenpaw and Cherrypaw exchanged amused glances, then strolled towards their dens, and eventually curled up in their mossy nests with the other apprentices.

There's a glow off the pavement

You walk me to the car

And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there

In the middle of the parking lot

Yeah

Oh yeah

We're drivin' down the road

I wonder if you know

I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now

But you're just so cool

Run your hands through your hair

Absent-mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first

Fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress

Fearless

So, baby, drive slow

'Til we run out of road in this one horse town

I wanna stay right here in this passenger's seat

You put your eyes on me

In this moment now capture it, remember it

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first

Fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress

Fearless

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway

My hands shake

I'm not usually this way

But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave

It's the first kiss,

It's flawless,

Really something,

It's fearless.

Oh yeah

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first

Fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress

Fearless

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first

Fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress

Fearless

Oh-oh

Oh yeah
