Hi Guys!
Well my last couple of stories didn't go too well so I decided tot shut the side of my brain that thinks too much off and letting my random imaginative side out, this is the result. Please let me know what you think! Reviews are precious to all fanfictioners!(is that the right word?)

The teacups
It started with one cup.
It was a lonely ,little cup. An abandoned cup. A neglected cup. Duck egg blue in colour with a matching saucer. The little cup wasn't used much, nobody paid any notice to it at all. Coffee was the main thing drunk at this work place and why would anyone want to drink coffee out of an abandoned tea cup? The lonely cup seemed doomed to a life at the back of the shelf, until a charming stranger came along and adopted it as his own. The little cup and its saucer were brought out of the cupboard every day, lovingly used and appreciated, handled only by its 'owner' and his friend. The one he shared a smile with.
The second cup is a present. Red with tiny little red hearts and a matching saucer. The owner of the little blue cup had been delighted to find a blend of tea his friend liked. He celebrated this with a gift. A special gift only for her. A gift that allowed them to share a little moment together each evening at work. Two colleagues. Two friends. Interestingly, the user of this cup never drank tea at home, despite having some in for her friend.
The third cup was a gesture of friendship. This little cup didn't live in the CBI cupboard with the other two, oh no. This little cup lived in a different cupboard in a different kitchen. You see, the man who loves his tea hated to drink his favourite beverage from a mug so his colleague, his best friend, had brought one to be used especially when he stayed at her house. The stripy red cup, complete with saucer, was used almost as much as the little blue cup. It was present at many important times in its users life and witnessed the change in relationship between the man it was brought for and the woman who brought it.
The fourth cup is plastic. Pink with little yellow flowers to be precise. The cup has five brothers and sisters with a plastic teapot to complete the set. The little teacup and its family lives in a toy box, but was used every day. Sometimes it contained juice, Sometimes just tap water. However, it especially liked being used for tea, sat beside the teapot, the striped red cup and a coffee mug with the words 'World's greatest mummy' on it.
The little girl who used the pink plastic teacup will one day graduate to a china cup of her own, just like her Daddy. For now she is content with her own. A cup for a special little girl. Mummy and Daddy's little princess, Amelia Jane.
Ok, so there it is. Hope you liked it. Please let me know and thank you for taking the time to read!
