Author's Note: You probably already know about the drabble project, but in case you're out of the loop, I'll fill you in. A drabble is exactly 100 words, so the project is to write 100 drabbles from a list of 100 themes with 100 word each in the course of one year. Now I can't make any promises about the last part, but I will write 100 drabbles with the characters of Rules of Being a Dragon. I just don't know how long it will take. The drabbles will be from different character's point of view. They'll be a lot of tense changes and I might even write in 3rd person for a change. But most will be in 1st person.
Here's the list of the 100 themes. The first drabble, Dreamer (number 36) is at the bottom.

I spirited out of physics to see if the list was posted. I had been waiting forever to see who would get the one quad spot, and praying it was me. Of course, the list wasn't posted. I had to wait and pray some more.
The pit laughed when I tried out for quads. They told me to "dream on" because there had never been a girl quad. But I practiced anyway, auditioned anyway, because more than anything, I wanted that spot.
Finally, the list was posted.
They could call me a dreamer all they wanted. I got the spot.
