Blanket Disclaimer: I do not claim to have any ownership over anything Prétear. I do not make any profit by writing these stories. This goes for every chapter of this fic, so for every single drabble.

Summary: A set of nine drabbles inspired by a drabble challenge themed 'A shower with any het couple', but I cheated by switching fandoms. 120 words each. All kinds of genres, pairings and ratings.

Author's Note: These drabbles were inspired by what I presume was at one time (I only found out from heard tell) a Blissful Ignorance challenge; 'A shower with any het couple, no more than 120 words'. Now, Blissful Ignorance (dot com) is a site dedicated to Gundam Wing, a mecha anime. But, I'm a cheat. Everyone knows that. So I stole the challenge (AGAIN!) and ran off with it (AGAIN! XD ), and the results are as shown below. Have fun! I hope you'll like it. And review accordingly. :hinthinthint:

Prologue

Leafe, it is the source of life.

Leafe, it is a power all living things have. Even men, even women.

When the Leafe of the Prétear and the Leafe of a Knight become one, a new power is born.

And, subsequently, a big great mess.

A Prétear's battles are thus fought in a pocket dimension, where the mess can be contained.

The environment is spared, but the bodies of the Prétear and her Knights are not.

To put it bluntly, after a fight, they smell badly. No amount of Leafe can prevent that.

So, the Leafe inspired men and women to wash themselves.

Because even Leafe has a sensitive nose.

And thus, the shower came into existence.

All because of a Prétear and a Leafe Knight.

Don't believe me? But it's a fairytale, it's not supposed to be believable!
