A/N: Hi all!
Well, I've done it. This is my first ever attempt at song drabbles. I put my music on shuffle, sat back and decided to write five drabbles to start off.
I've never done this before; I'd love any thoughts, ideas or suggestions! I'm sure I'll post more in the coming days, but I just wanted to start off with these and see what happens. I hope you will enjoy them, please leave a review on your way out they really do mean a lot! I really appreciate them!

1. Taylor Swift – Love Story
She was not much for love. To say she didn't believe in love would have been a lie, however it certainly was not the first thing on her list.
Nor was it the second or the third or fourth…
That is why at the ball she hadn't expected much of anything to happen. At sixteen years of age her need to prove herself to be a worthy knight had been gained. So when she entered the dance in her scarlet colored gown she blushed as all heads had turned to her.
That was when he had inquired of her to dance with him. She had said yes and smiled as he took her in to his arms. The music was fast as he twirled her through the air.
It was then she felt it, the emotion called love. Her heart soared as high if not higher than her and Dragon flew through the sky.
"I love you," he whispered in her ear for the first time as he gazed at her.
"I love you as well," she replied as she lent forward and kissed him.
It was truly the start of her love story.

2. Dixie chicks – Traveling Soldier
It was not that he was old. Far from it, he had just turned eighteen.
He was afraid, yet he would die before he let anyone especially her know it. He sat down at the table, watching as a young servant girl placed down the bowl of soup.
"Thank you," he said as he used his bread to dip in the dish. The girl offered him a smile as she pulled up a seat some ways off.
"Excuse me," she said pushing a piece of dark hair out of her face, "I just want to say thank you for fighting for us. I am sure your king will be proud of you."
"Thank you," the young man replied as he finished his soup.
"May I ask your name?" the girl inquired.
"Gunther," he answered as he stood, "I must go."
It was her few words of kindness that he remembered as he was on the battle field, helping to defend a neighboring kingdom from invaders. It was those words he remembered as he lay dying.
The servant girl cried when she heard as no one cared in her village that a man had given his life to save their own.

3. With out you – from the Rent soundtrack
"Jester," the kind voice of the queen reached his ears yet the fool did nothing but raise his head to gaze at her through watery eyes.
"Yes, your majesty?"
Shock and surprise shown in his face as the queen knelt in front of him, "Jane is gone. However, you will see that life does and will go on."
That was the problem. The boys ran, the oceans crashed, the days soared and Pepper's baby cried.
All with out Jane.
Inside however, Jester was slowly dying. Heartache was causing him to lose weight and although he tried to maintain a smile for the court all could see the facade.
Yet his pulse still beat everyday, his eyes gazed, legs walked and his lungs still took in breaths of air.
All with out Jane.
Life went on, however Jester was gone.
Soon lost to his heartache.

4. Brad Paisley – The World
She was everything to him. She was his sun, the ray of strength and hope and life that he wanted for all times.
In his shy manor, he tried to show her that she was his world. To the court, she was just another cook. All the upper classes ignored her; mostly those from other kingdoms who would snub her as they walked by.
However to Rake, Pepper was a queen and he tried to treat her as such. Giving her flowers, soft "I love you," at differing times of the day and night and holding her in his arms stroking her soft hair as she slept. In that moment the young man knew he held the world.

5. John Mayor – Say
What could she do? How could she phrase all that she wanted to convey to him?
He had taken her under his wing, he had nurtured her like one of Rake's plants, and he had molded her in to what she was now.
What she had dreamed of becoming since she was a small girl all those years ago.
"Sir Theodore?" Jane inquired as she stepped through the archway of the practice yard. She watched as the elderly knight set down his book.
"Jane," he began his tone light, "You can call me Theodore now."
"Yes, sir," she said before a chuckle escaped her lips.
"What can I do for you?" he asked as Jane swallowed.
What could she say to him? They were leaving for the battle tomorrow and this could be the last conversation that the two of them would ever have.
"I want to tell you sir that I thank you. I thank you for all the training and patience you have taught me. Most of all I thank you for the lessons, both in and out of the practice arena."
The knight did not know what else to tell him. What could you really say to someone that means so much to you the night before going off to war?
