Winterguard Socks
by: cadyxoxo
A story of winterguard socks. Winterguard socks tell a great story of hard work and dedication that just can't be explained unless you look at those ratty, dirty looking socks.

This is a very simple little story (as well as my debut into the world of fanfiction.net) that I wrote after I noticed I had mistakenly pulled a pair of my old winterguard socks from my drawer and put them on. To those of you who aren't in winterguard, here's a little tidbit of information: your socks become very dirty and form holes in them from doing across-the-floors and such, so that you cannot wear them for anything else but winterguard! My winterguard socks cause me to reminisce about last winterguard season...the best guard season I've ever had in three years. sigh
(Added 9.30.03): I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to write a review. I'm glad to know that several can identify and relate to this simple little story. :) Thank yous go out to:

How adorable is that! A sock party...if only my guard was creative enough to hold a sock party. We had all other kinds of parties, so why not a sock party?! And yes, across-the-floors are evil, but I miss doing them dearly! Thanks for writing a review.Adrienne D:
I don't know how many pairs of socks I have had to throw away because of holes so big that my foot falls out of them, or because of stains from the gym floor! :P Luckily, my instructors strictly forbade socks shortly into the season, so it saved me quite a few pairs, I believe. Thanks!VejitaLuver69:
:) Glad I'm not the only one! My mom wants me to throw them away, but I refuse. I have to keep at least a few pairs so I will be able to mistakenly pull them out of my drawer in the future. Thanks for the review!Wow, now my author's note is longer than the actual story. What an accomplishment! :)

I look down at my foot, and I see a hole that my big toe is peaking out of. These must be my winterguard socks...I got them out of my drawer by accident. Winterguard socks -- such a small thing that it would just be overlooked by most. I miss my winterguard socks, though, because I haven't got the chance to wear them in a long time.
Winterguard socks tell a great story of hard work and dedication that just can't be explained unless you look at those ratty, dirty looking socks. They mean so much more than we give them credit for. I'm proud of my winterguard socks because they show how hard I worked in the past. They are a symbol of the dedication and effort that are of the utmost importance when you participate in a team sport such as winterguard.
My winterguard socks give me hope that someday I will get to do across-the-floors until I can barely walk, that I will get to have 12 hour practices on the weekends, and that I won't have time for anything else but practicing my butt off! They give me hope that I will be able to return to doing what I love the most in the near future. They give me hope that yes, I will return to winterguard at some point! And that is all I need...

I just had to add a note thanking those who reviewed. :) I also added onto the story a bit, so if you want to read it again to see the changes, go ahead. Any other reviews, whether they be left here or e-mailed to me, will be appreciated greatly! Thank you for your time!
Keep your eyes peeled for my upcoming Lizzie McGuire fic entitled 'Only Heart' as well as my as of yet untitled guard story that I am working on!
Until,
cady :)
