the Challenge


It goes like this:

Master Hawkeye has a daughter, and his daughter has blonde hair. The colour of honey and sunshine and joy.

Master Hawkeye has a daughter and his daughter has pool-of-amber eyes. Deep eyes. Melt and drown in their depths eyes.

She is thin (she doesn't eat much). She is not tall (but she is not short). She has a startlingly accurate aim with projectiles (he still has the bruise from when she thought that he was being a pervert and threw a paper weight at him. And he had even ducked.) She is cynical, and witty, and confident, and brave. Fearless.

He wants to kiss her.

To be honest, he wants to kiss most beautiful women, but they were all thin and curvy with make-up plastered onto their faces and little self-respect. They were too easy to catch. It was girls like Master Hawkeye's daughter that were the best challenges.

If he were to continue to be honest, he would have to admit that he had considered her at first to be a skinny, scrawny brat of a kid.

He would never admit that to her face. (Not with that particular paperweight still in use where she could easily pick it up.)

He has tried the usual moves on her, but she just regards him with a lofty disdain, as though she had experience with boys like him. (He was fairly certain that the only experience she had was the warnings of her father.) No flattering words could melt her icy demeanor. (Although he thought that sometimes he maybe saw a flicker pass through her eyes.)

She's not the same as the other girls. He feels like he would not want her to go away once she had been caught. He would want to keep her, that would also be an achievement. Especially since she was resisting so well.

But after a while she's not just a prize at the end of the road anymore.

The challenge now is; how can he get her to follow him to the ends of the earth?

It goes like this:

Master Hawkeye has a daughter, and his daughter isn't a prize. His daughter isn't just another one of his women. His daughter isn't just his friend. His daughter isn't stupid, and she isn't cold hearted. Master Hawkeye has a daughter with hair like sunshine.

He has set himself a challenge.

How to make her smile?
