Starseeker groaned. She was so sleepy. She got up and started trotting after camp. She smirked and jumped over a large log. She stopped and smelled the air. She could scent a male stranger wolf in the air. He was close by but Star could not see any movement at all.

Rush dove for a bush as he heard a new wolf, nearby. He popped his head out of the bush where he was hiding. He saw a peek of a white wolf with gray and black legs, with a gold star on her fore head and with black ears; jump over a log. He crouched into his bush, ready to pounce on the wolf. He was hoping he didn’t have to run again, from yet another wolf pack and ruin his chances at finding a family again.

Star heard the bushes rattle when Rush moved his head back into the bush Rush was hiding in. She growled low in her throat and stalked towards the noise in a nearby bush. She was ready to fight the stranger with complete ferocity.

Rush heard the low snarling in front of his bush. He saw Star's gray and black legs right in front of Rush's nose. Rush decided to leap out of the bushes swiftly and onto his opponent. He began to claw her and bite as well but he did not hurt her badly. He didn’t notice it was a girl until he pinned her down on the ground. He scrambled off her instantly and apologetically put his ears against his head and his white tail went between his legs.

Star heaved herself upwards, snarling in rage and she was frustrated. "Why are you here!?" she demanded.

Rush backed off and answered miserably uncomfortable, "Trying to make friends." His eyes were still down and he continued without changing his position, "But, I guess that won’t happen now that I almost hurt you."

"No. It’s ok. I can hold my own." Star explained then asked, "Who are you?"      

"Name’s Rush." Rush began coolly, "At least I earned that name." Rush looked to the ground a little embarrassed. He was never that calm around other wolves, let alone strangers and the fact that he was practically lying down made it look like he wasn't calm around strangers.

She smiled at him and said, "I’m Starseeker."

"I got my name because I’m always on the move and always in a rush." Rush explained. He wasn't that great at first impressions, considering, he always was shy or running away or sinking to the ground in embarrassment.

                "I like that name." Rush complemented, shyly and he began to rise to his full height. His ears stood up normally but his tail was still a little bit between his legs. Star was very dangerous even if she was a girl, she could have seriously hurt Rush.

I’m like that." Star said shyly. "I like the stars." She said and smiled at Rush.

"Then why don’t we watch the stars tonight?" Rush asked no longer as afraid, "It’ll be fun."

"Well, I live in a pack, but you can come see me here on my patrol rock. I am a fighter for my pack." Star explained and smiled again.

"Sure." Rush replied, "I’ve never made good friends with packs though." Rush looked down sadly. "I never had a pack but, I’ve always wanted one." Rush smiled back at Star. Rush had lied to himself so much, he made himself believe he didn't ever have a pack. But, he did, and he ran away and became a lone wolf.

Star smiled at Rush and said goodbye, then she went home; happy, tired and excited.

Rush for the rest of the time found a place to sleep and made a soft bed out of ferns. He fell asleep calmly, but something just didn't seem right.

The next night Star met Rush at the Nome Pack's patrol rock under the starry sky.

"Hey, Star." Rush said quietly when he appeared from the bushes. "You look beautiful."

"Thanks." Star said and blushed, a little embarrassed and flattered. "You look handsome." She admired and smiled at him, happily.

Rush smiled bashfully and asked, "Want to sit down?"

She smiled at him, and answered, "Yes."

They sat down on the patrol rock and Rush gazed at the shining stars above their heads. "Their beautiful," He began, "just like you."

"Thank you." Star said, smiling at him softly.

"What is a beautiful wolf like you doing as a fighter, in a pack?" Rush asked, "You seem too nice for that."

"I’m not a good hunter, and I don’t have a mate or pups. So the only position for me is fighter." she explained.

"Then why not search for a mate right now?" Rush sheepishly smiled.

She smiled at Rush and sighed and put her head down, to rest after a long day.

Rush smiled back but, inside he wanted to make her his mate and be part of a pack. But he put his head down too and fell asleep on the patrol rock next to the lovely sleeping Star.

Suddenly it was dawn and Star bolted upright, ears pricked. Then a large black wolf emerged from the darkness.

"Huh-What?" Rush groaned as he woke up, but then saw the huge black wolf, his eyes widened in surprise. He looked at Star, shocked and unsure of what he should do.

"Daddy....." Star murmured in realization.

Rush relaxed a little now that Star knew who it was. He looked down to the ground, but really he was preparing himself to run if he had to.

 "Now who is this, Star?" The black male named, Fuze, asked, looking at Rush.

"Ummmm....... a friend of mine." Star replied a little embarrassed.

"I thought I told you to not make friends with wolves outside of our pack?" Fuze asked with anger and dominance in his voice.

"Sorry." Star said rolling her eyes.

Fuze growled at the insult. "Go home Star!" he snapped. Then he looked at Rush. "Why are you here? Do you need a pack?" he asked.

Rush stared at Fuze for a little bit and got in a trance, but shook himself awake instantly. "Y-yes, sir. I am a lone wolf, but I can leave right now if you’d like." Rush chattered in fear, his tail went between his legs and Rush sunk low to the ground.

"You may join. Follow me." Fuze ordered.

Rush followed obediently, but wondered to himself, "Could this be a trick?" Rush then asked Fuze,  “Are you the alpha male?"

"No. But I am taking you to the alpha." Fuze negatively answered. It was obvious he wanted to be the alpha. Rush nodded in response and continued to follow Fuze into the pack den site.

The alpha, Liberty, saw Fuze and Rush walk into the campsite and ran towards them. She was white as snow. But she was very small and looked harmless. And yet, she was respected by the ones that could harm her.

Rush took in his surroundings quickly, and then looked at the white wolf. She looked small and harmless, but Rush wouldn’t let looks persuade him that she’s harmless. Rush looked at Fuze for guidance on what he should do, but Fuze didn’t help him at all, and Star wasn’t there to help him either. It was his move now. Rush sank to the ground in respect, just as he had with Star.

Liberty smiled at him. "You have manners, young one. What is your name?" she asked, standing straight and proud.

"Rush." Rush stood up to his full height after her praise.

"You may join this pack. I trust you not to be foolish." Liberty said.

Star looked at Rush. "Rush!" she whispered.

Rush replied, "Thank you.”

Rush then turned his attention to Star. She walked over to him and smiled happily. All the wolves came over to them to introduce themselves.

Rush whispered to Star, "How am I going to remember all these wolves by name?"

Star smiled at him in amusement. "You’ll get used to them."

When all the wolves left Rush and Star alone, Rush asked. "Who’s your mom? I haven’t met her."

"Her name is Serenity. She’s the white and black one over there." Star nodded over to a pretty white wolf.

 "Now I see where you get your good looks." Rush admitted as he saw Star’s mother talking with her friends. "Do you have any friends in your pack?"

"Silver." she said. "She’s the, well, silver one over there."

Rush looked over to see a silver wolf sitting down and staring at the pack with a blank expression on her face. Rush said, "Let’s invite her on a walk, she looks bored."

"Ok. Hey Silver!" Star shouted.

"Oh hey, Star!" Silver said to Star, then looked at Rush.

 "This is Rush." Star explained. "We were wondering if you would like to go for a walk?" she continued.

 "Of course!" Silver said and shot up and she looked excited to do something. She was a very bubbly wolf.

 Rush walked away from the pack, followed by Silver and Star.
