So...I've been suffering writers' block...and...yeah. =/ It's mostly centered on Alice and Ace, since there's only one story about them so far (though, it is really good, read it, it's called Discovering The New Kid). Just a collection of drabbles, on AcexAlice and a few other pairings, I'll be trying to keep each chapter under 100 words. Not sure how many chapters there will be, it depends on how long my block lasts. =.= If you want to request a pairing, say so in your review, I'll be happy to make it as long as there are no characters from season three or beyond, I don't watch those and I won't know what to write about. XD

Onto the first drabble...

Ace Grit was in a foul mood.

Nothing had gone his way today...sure, Alice, Runo and Julie were here now, and that was all fine and dandy, but Mira had spat that she loathed him this morning, and normally that wouldn't have bothered him, but it was right before he was about to confess his true feelings for her. But no, she hated him. That already had him in a bad mood.

Then Baron managed to break both his and Shun's gauntlets, which both backfired at Ace when he was repairing them, giving his arm a minor fracture. It was in a cheaply-made cast now.

At dinner, Dan shattered ten glass plates in one go, that Ace was told to clean up, and then he was screamed at when he, rightfully, threw a shard of glass at the Pyrus brawler's head. He scowled to himself at the thought as he swept up the last of the fine, shimmering powder that remained from the plates.

He jumped a little when a fair-skinned, orange-haired girl appeared before him, and looked up through his mint-green hair to see that she had kneeled there. "Hello," she greeted warmly. "I don't believe we've properly met. I'm Alice Gehabich, and you must be Ace." She offered her hand, which Ace stared at dumbly for a moment before hesitantly shaking it. "Uhuh." Was his clever response. She giggled at the awestruck expression on his face and reached to help him finish up.

Word count: 245
This is what I would call a failure of epic proportions. Oh well...I'll try harder next time.

Ciao.
