This one shot really has no justification what so ever, it was simply a bit of fluff that I couldn't get out of my head. I'm only writing this for fun, all the characters belong to Christipher Paloni, and I'm making no profit from it.
"You're wrong." That short, simple sentence had managed to ruin her entire morning. How dare that man suggest- no, tell her she was wrong after she had spent months researching and studying? He may be a king, but he had no right to say that! But that one sentence haunted her very being, because what if he was right?
So, obviously Angela had no choice but to hunt Orrin down and prove to him just how wrong he was, despite the argument that would ensue. She had been sure that if she presented enough proof he would have to believe her, he did consider himself a man of facts after all. Well, apparently Orrin hadn't felt the same way, because he had decided to start the argument that was still going on now.
"Gods bless it Angela, how many times must I say this? You. Are. Wrong! Frogs and toads are not the same animal!" She flipped her hair over her shoulder and sighed in reply.
"And how may times do I have to say this, you idiot? I've studied this for months! I have actual proof that they are, in fact, exactly the same animal, but you're to thick to simply accept it."
"I'm not being thick, and I would accept it if your precious 'facts' hadn't been gained through magic. And besides, there's simple scientific observations that prove they aren't. For example, toads are more adapted to land, and tend to have warts and shorter legs, while frogs- "
"Oh you and your science," she interrupted with a wave of her hand. "At least magic can be useful! What has your science done, exactly, beside make a bottle that can't even hold air, and create a stick that can tell how hot it is?" With on look at his eyes, Angela knew she had hit below the belt, but that didn't stop her from saying more.
"Because toads don't exist, they can't give people warts or spread illnesses, and evil witches won't be able to use them for their potions and Black magic. And I refuse to stand here and have you insult my achievements simply because you've failed to discover anything remotely useful!" She let a smug smile grace her lips as she waited for him to admit defeat, but something entirely different came out of his mouth.
"Angela, even if you were right- which you're not- people and toads would still do those things! You've only changed the animals name, not its true nature. So, in essence you haven't done anything!" His words knocked the breath out of her like a punch to the gut. He was right, she had never considered the most obvious fact possible. Damn it. She blushed angrily as she realized he was now the one with a smug grin on his face.
Angela pointed her index finger at Orrin accusingly as she struggled to find a way to salvage her pride. Finally, realizing she had no response, she growled the first thing that came to mind.
"You're just lucky that you're cute." She spun on her heel as Orrin's eyebrows shot up, and she allowed herself another small smile. If she couldn't prove herself right she could at least confuse the hell out of him.
If you were actually able to make it through my umm... story thing, please reveiw, it help me out so much.
