A/N: I wrote one of these for one of my favourite pairings (Maya/Franziska) And I had so much fun I figured I'd make a series out of this. Basically I took 5 completely random words and wrote short stories (more like drabbles) based on them.

I'll take requests, normally I'd just tell you to post what pairings you'd want, but since people like both pairings and telling other people what they should write about, I'm afraid I'd get too many requests.

So, I'll promise t take the request from whoever reviews the newest chapter first and gives me at least 3 reasons why it (the pairing in the latest chapter, NOT the one you are about to suggest) was the best pairing ever.

If you have already 'won' before, you can still participate, but if someone new makes a request within a week they win. If you answer as a 'guest' or unregistered user, I'm treating you as a someone who already won once. This is so that different people can get their chance.

Rifle/Taka

Scowl

"Lighten up, Simon!" Athena told her friend, sitting next to her on the park bench.

"What? What brought this on?" The prosecutor questioned.

"Well, you're having that scowl on your face." Athena remarked. "And usually you are much happier-looking on one of these trips. We are about to visit a zoo, after all, I'm sure they'll have ostriches or something."

Blackquill made a mental note on how Athena apparently was able to read him like an open book even when he kept his mouth shut. He'd need to remember that. "It's Taka."

"Huh? What about him?" She looked around. "Where is he? Now that you mention him, I don't think I've seen him today."

"That's because he chose not to come. I think he might be at the Shipshape Aquarium. He has been spending a lot of time over there lately, and I'm not sure why."

"Well, like someone once told me," Athena grinned, "There is but one attraction over there worth seeing, and that is the penguins."

Simial

Both had been raised by humans, but Rifle had always known others of her species and even mated and laid an egg, although her maternal instincts had failed her afterwards, and she had left her chick in the care of humans, just like she had been raised.

Taka had never known other hawks.

Goshawks were not social birds by nature, but he had forged a partnership with his human, and of all beings he considered that human to be his equal.

But he wasn't quite the same thing as Rifle. And he had been spending quite a lot of time with that yellow human (who Taka guessed was female, although with humans it was very difficult to tell), which made Taka feel a bit left out.

Although Taka was happy his human had decided to stop sitting in that small dark room all the time and was instead taking him to all kinds of interesting places.

Like the place where Rifle lived.

His thoughts seemed to circle the penguin a lot lately…

Ticket

Taka couldn't quite figure out why Rifle was carrying those paper-things around.

At first he had thought it was like what his human asked him to do. He had been keeping some papers that were important to his human (for some reason. Maybe he planned to build a nest out of them?) safe and secret.

So when he had seen some strangers trying to take one of these 'pamphlets' or 'tickets' from Rifle, he had driven the humans away, thinking he was being helpful.

It had been a mistake, and Rifle had pecked him until he left, heartbroken.

Fortuneless

When that time of the year came once more, Rifle was expecting the male penguins to approach her. Maybe even the same one who she had chosen last year.

But, to her surprise none of the other little penguins made an offer.

In fact, they seemed to be avoiding her, like someone or something had scared them off.

Peculiar.

Aquatic

This 'Taka' was a weird penguin, Rifle decided.

Not only was he afraid of water, he would…

Well, actually the whole being unable to swim-thing was the weirdest thing about him.

And he had no idea how to woo a lady. He hadn't even tried to dig a burrow for their eggs to impress her! Instead he had offered her a dead rabbit that was almost as big as him.

Rifle didn't want to be rude, so she had accepted it, taken a peck at it out of courtesy and pushed it in the orca pool while he wasn't looking.

And yet, there was something about him that piqued her interest.

He was just so different from everyone else. Just looking him flying high up to the sky made her feel happy somehow. Rifle had always been curious, escaping from her pool and wandering where she wasn't supposed to be, just to see new things.

She was a bit jealous of this weird penguin.

Maybe she could teach him how to dive, and in return he would show her how he managed to swim through the sky?

A/N: And there you have it. (Rifle/Taka is my OTP.)

Feel free to suggest any AA pairing (although I haven't played Gyakuten Kenji 2, so no characters that only appear in that). I'm fine with Yaoi, Yuri and even hetero-stuff, or polyamory if that's what you really like.

Depending on the characters, it might end up more family/friendship than romance, depends.

The rarer the pairing more likely I am to take it seriously.
