The Shooting Star Will Never Fade {O}

[Ash Firestar]

-|OPEN|-

Shoot for the Moon

He found his paws mericiously carring him towards the winding path. Ash had met only two other cats in this feline-infested terra. He sighed absentmindedly and curled up underneath an old oak tree. Wishing that he could forget about Indigo for a second and think about other things. Like meeting other cats. He wanted to broaden his horizons on the subject of friends, he had only met a couple. One that he hadn't really met, and two others that he hadn't gotten close to. The only thing he wanted was Indigo, and for her to be happy. She had told him a month, he didn't know if he could stand that long without her. Her sweet smile, her beautiful eyes, and her wonderful laugh; which was something that he hadn't heard in about a week, it hurt his chest badly. It hurt to be away for so long...it made his body turn to stone and all of the happiness sucked out of him whenever he thought of her now.

It felt bad, but he was trying to fight it. Besides, a month isn't that long. So much could happen in a month. What if I blink and miss something important? She could be a totally different cat when we meet again. He thought with a shudder, no Indigo would never change. No matter what he would always love her. He curled up in a ball and rocked himself back and forth, hoping to think on a lighter note.

Even if you miss
you'll land amongst the stars

cinder's sleek paws carried her as far she she thought they could. she was running away, yet she didn't know what she was running from. her past was an option. she ran her tongue over her teeth as she pondered.
she then carried on walking, her head whizzing and her heart thumping in time to her pawsteps. she then came upon a large oak, old tree. she thought that would be a perfect place to lay and get her thoughts sorted out. she closed her eyes and purred, thinking hard. suddenly, she heard a soft yawn behind her. she turned out to see a cat lying beside her. she let out a mrrow of surprise.

[Ash Firestar]

Ash was suprized himself. He really wasn't expecting to see anybody new. He jumped to his haunches, you could have blinked and missed it he did it so fast. He chuckled to himself and smiled at the she-cat that had just approached him. The silver tom looked at her with big blue eyes, dumbfounded that he had actually gotten what he had hoped for. A way to get his mind off of Indigo.

He looked at the she-cat more intensely now. He could tell that she had been running, by the way her chest heaved. She was a multi-colored calico with pretty eyes. And very short, for all of the she-cats that he had met recently anyway. "Hi." he said.

i am cinder;

cinder stared back at the strange cat whose maw formed the words, "hi." she kept staring, until she realized that she was being rude. "um hi." she replied with a half smile. she twitched her tail and ran her tongue over her teeth, it was becoming a bad habbit. "so uh w-w-what are y-y-you doing h-here?" cinder stuttered, trying to think of something to say. she twitched her whiskers this time, thinking again. her heart was racing, she wasn't used to talking to other cats... she had been lonely for a while. she usually was sharp-witted but she was awe-struck by this cat. he was kind of cute.

[Ash Firestar]

He smiled lightly, and chuckled to himself in his head. She seems nervous... He studied her face more, she looked lost, almost scared. It freaked himself out how well he could read she-cat's faces, and not tom's. Ash was more of a lady's man, he did need a guy friend though (prefferably one that wasn't his enimy, or might be envious or jelous of him). That's what he was looking for currently, a good guy friend.

"Clearing my head mostly," A good answer, it wasn't truely a lie, but it was in a way. "So, where are you off to so fast, on a fine evening like this?" Why was he putting on the charming act? Why was he being so...well...Ash? He had nearly forgotten how he acted when he wasn't depressed or being deeply in love, he had forgotten on how much of a charmer he truely was. Like his whole personality had changed for Indigo. It was weird, utterly stunning.

cinder composed herself quickly. she shook her head and planted a scowl on her face. "why, i can here is none of your concern." she spat. how dare he ask her personal questions? how dare he? she glared and turned her back to him. she thought for a moment.
ugh, maye it wasn't he wasn't trying to be rude, maybe she was being rude. she didn't know what to think or do for that matter. she then sighed and sat back down. she was getting so many mixed emotions, she didn't know how to deal with them. "help me." she screamed inwardly longing for a friend...or a mate.

[Ash Firestar]

He remained calm. His face kept a plesant smile. She was young too, just like every other girl he met. He lowered his head in a slight nod, "You're right, it's not," he said curtly, "I was just curious why you're so anxious, but of course that's not my buisness either." He added a little too sourly, but he was just trying to make a point in a polite, civalized way. But, of course, he wasn't civalized, he was reckless and crazy. But he put on a face that wasn't meant for Indigo to ever see in her life, it was too...emotionless.

He continued to smile, it was a dead smile. He was not happy, he was just trying to be polite and help this kid to an extent. He was not planning on getting into a serious relationship with any cat any time soon. Which meant no playing with other's emotions, he wasn't about to forget his soul mate.

Finding himself back at the road were the lady from the shelter had left him Basil gave a soft sigh, he wasn’t sure what had brought him back here, but something had. Flicking his ears slightly Basil caught the sound of a couple cats talking to each other and he smiled slightly, some company would be nice. ‘I don’t remember the last time I talked to anyone, so this should be fun…’ He thought, smiling to himself as he drew closer, listening to their conversation. ‘Seems a bit tense… I’ll lighten things up~’ He thought, putting on a charming grin he walked up to the two cats and bowed deeply to them both. “Good day Sir, Ma’am” He said coolly, dipping his head to both of the other cats.

Sitting down in a very proper like way the Siamese licked his maw slightly, running his rough tongue over his white whiskers. “I don’t mean to intrude, but my name is Basil Steelbloom, may I ask you lovely cats what you go by?” He asked, holding his charming smile as he wrapped his tail around his paws, his deep blue eyes moving from one cat to the other slowly as he looked them over. The male had a coat pattern he had only seen once or twice, it was a rare type of pattern seen normally on wild cats only. ‘He’s not wild, he’s too small to be’ Basil thought, the end of his tail flicking slightly. Now, the female, she was a pretty little Calico, but she seemed a bit shy, and touchy. ‘She’s pretty, though’ He thought with a mental chuckle. Basil was just being Basil, that was all.

Accept them as they are, without wanting to change them”

i am cinder;

cinder stood up and shifted her weight nervously, her eyes darting in many directions. "um, it's alright, it's fine." she turned towards the blue-eyed cat, the first that she had met at the tree. she nodded akwardly a bit and then turned her gaze to the sky.
cinder was suddenly jolted out her her thoughts when a handsome looking cat came walking towards the tree. he smiled and asked their names, in a polite tone. "i'm cinder, pleasure to um, basil." cinder half-smiled at the new found cat. "he seems sweet enough." cinder thought. giggling inwardly. "such silly thoughts." cinder smiled.

[Ash Firestar]

For the first time in his life, Ash had stood next to a full grown tom as an adult. The siamese towered over him, Ash growled almost silently to himself. Maybe it was his breed, Ash was naturally short. Which made him chuckle to himself, I'm not short, He assured himself, I'm fun-sized! he chuckled again to his thoughts and turned towards the tom. "Pleasure, Basil." He said politely, "You too, Cinder." His mouth formed over both of their names akwardly, but he was positive that he was the only one that noticed. He didn't know why his mouth did that, it just....did. Odd. He smiled very charmingly, "Ash Firestar." He said with pride, he hoped that soon she would decide to take that name too. He grimaced in his head, but kept his face collected, like a closed book.

"And what brings you here, Basil?" He wasn't about to pry Cinder for anymore information. She was obviously agitated. He looked curiously at her, she looked at him in a way that made him uncomfortable. Like she was checking him out. He looked at his paws, hoping that Basil would quickly distract him from this searching calico.

Ash was wild. Crazy wild. But sophisticated when he wished to be, like now. He wasn't the least bit interested in Cinder, period. He sighed and looked back at Basil, curious about the tom's answer.

[basil]

Basil gave both cat’s a charming smile as they spoke, he held a relaxed, but proper posture as he sat with his tail wrapping around his paws, it was his typical sitting position, the position he had used for as long as he could remember. The first to reply to his question about their names was the female and he nodded. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, miss Cinder” He said, giving her a sweet smile, his gaze turning to the male as he spoke next and the tom gave a small grin, he’d only seen a cat like Ash once or twice. ‘Rare coat pattern… Gorgeous pelt, though’ He thought, chuckling inwardly. Basil had a habit of checking out all of the cats he met, like he did at his old cat shows, checking out the ‘competition’ was also a good way to get to know and remember other cats.

As the Bengal tom stated his name Basil dipped his head once again to the smaller male. “The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Firestar” He replied before sitting up straight again and sighed softly, his ears flicking slightly as Ash asked him what he was doing here. “Ahhh, just out for a walk, I’m still new to the area of Nenbrook and have met few… So I guess you could say I am out company hunting” He said with a chuckle, the end of his tail flicking slightly as he watched the two. “What about yourselves? Headed anywhere important?” He questioned politely, he had heard Cinder snap at the other tom before he had arrived, so really his question was directed at Ash, but was left open for either to answer.

As Basil waited for the Bengal’s reply he allowed his eyes to wander away from the two and up into the branches of the oak tree they sat under, such a beautiful thing nature was, it was too bad few took the time to stop and admire it. Basil had always had extra time to look at the things around him, he wasn’t really the type of cat that rushed from one thing to another, he preferred to walk slowly and see the things around him, instead of letting them pass by. Letting out a soft sigh Basil snapped himself from the daze he had entered as he watched the rustling leaves to turn his attention back on the cat’s in front of him, his bright blue eyes half closed as he looked over their forms.

[Ash Firestar]

OOC: i guess i'll post, since you happily made the post towards Ash. ={D

Ash smiled politely at Basil's response. Another charmer, he thought silently to himself, aparently his personality wasn't as unique as he thought. He pursed his lips into a steady line, no reason for that, he was just relaxed. But alert as well. "Mmm," Was his reply to Basil's first question. He glanced at Cinder, wondering what she was thinking, along with Basil. He seemed to almost read she-cats' minds, but with toms, he was blank. He chuckled.

He was wondering how to answer Basil's question. In his wonder he studied the tom's face, his eyes flowed up to the oak above him and he followed with him. But just before the siamese's thoughts had a chance to come back to Ash, he answered, "I'm clearing my head under a beautiful tree," and waiting for Indigo. He added silently to his head. "Thank you for asking." He said with a curtious tone and glanced at Cinder, curious why she wasn't answering.

-DONEE!-

[savannah]

i am cinder;

cinder twitched her tail nervously, trying to think of a sharp and rather witty answer to basil's question but nothing camp up. cinder let out collective sigh and licked her paws. "uh, i'm going...to..to... well, actually nowhere, really." she wished she could tell them that she had come looking for a friend. cinder then, sucked in air and it came out in a whoosh. she she really tell them what she was doing. it was better then lying. "actually, i came looking for a friend." cinder stared at the sky, hoping for someone to fill the annoying and empty silence.

ooc; yes, i know that this is rather horrible but i have roleplayed for over a week and need to get my muse back.

[basil]

Basil looked at Ash with half-open eyes as he began to speak; he wasn’t tired, just comfortable. Basil was naturally social and found it easy to be around other’s and be relaxed. He was used to being watched, looked at, poked, prodded, petted and talked to/about. Flicking his ears forward slightly Basil nodded. “Of course, of course Mr. Firestar, nature is always a good thing to turn to, to get rid of that constant chatter in your head, yes?” He said and smiled, flicking his tail a little and glancing at Cinder as she began to reply, was she going to answer him when she hadn’t answered Ash when he asked the same question? He almost chuckled.

As Cinder answered that she was doing nothing Basil raised an eyebrow, he didn’t really believe that, because if that was the case she wouldn’t have had a problem tell this to Ash, at least she shouldn’t have. Tilting his head slightly Basil gave her a curious look until she gave up that she was looking for a friend. That was more like it. Grinning Basil nodded and shifted his position a little. “I see… Well, if you want help looking for your friend I have no problem doing so, I have no where better to be” He said and winked at her. Sometimes he was too nice for his own good, that was for sure.

Turning his attention away from the two cats Basil looked up into the tree and he sighed, trying to think up a new conversation, he was usually pretty good at small talk. Thinking something up Basil cleared his throat slightly and gave them both a charming smile. “So are either of you two new here? As I said before, I am, I was dropped off from a shelter, and before that I was a run away show cat” He said with a soft chuckle and smiled, knowing that he couldn’t expect the other cats to tell him anything if he didn’t comply first. Besides, he wasn’t exactly ashamed of his history or anything like that.

[Ash Firestar]

Ash listened to Cinder's reply, feeling his eyebrows raise a little bit. He smirked a little bit. He noticed how Basil was phrasing his sentences, so formal. He cocked his head to the side as his ears flicked down a little and then forward. "Yes, yes it is," Wow, Basil was strange. No. Unique was a much better, stronger word to describe this cat.

"I would certainly enjoy helping you as well, Cinder. I am not rushing to be where I should." Which is with Indigo, He added silently in his very crammed mind. He smiled casually and sat back on his haunches, concluding that these cats were not a threat to him. But, of course his eyes darted around as usual and his ears listened to any un-wanted noise. He was alert as ever.

"Actually I arrived here about a month ago," He was not intending on telling his story now, he was happy to be outspoken and open and all, he just didn't feel as comfortable with them yet. He smiled again and turned his head toward Cinder, waiting for what she had to say. "So, a show cat, huh? That's..." His voice trailed as he searched for words, "well, different." He shrugged lightly, it was pretty cool. He wondered what it was like, having people look at you and touch you like that. He'd never grown attached to humans, he'd always felt trapped inside their houses...oh well.
