Author's note: This was written for the "30 words or less" challenge on the Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges forum (they said it could be for another fandom.) Each of the hundred prompts had to be used for a story of thirty words or less-sometimes my count didn't agree with OpenOffice, but I went with mine anyway! These are in chronological order, and a few rely on specific phrasings from "The Andalite Chronicles". I've actually written it all already, but I'll post in pieces because, hey, for once I can. There will be nine chapters.
Double parentheses are for thoughtspeak. The lyrics leading off each chapter are all by Dar Williams.
I went to Vietnam
I went for peace
They dropped their bombs
Right where my government knew I would be
65. Don't Leave Me
"I'm a soldier," he said. "I'm going to go fly on a big plane and go fight and keep you safe." And he hugged her.
78. Emotional
((Come on, Mom, it's time.))
((I know,)) she said, with effort.
((He'll be fine,)) said Noorlin.
37. Let Me Out
They didn't seem to understand her screams. It wasn't fair. The most interesting event of her life shouldn't have been an abduction by anybody.
62. Confident
Maybe he could watch Arbron fight Sofor sometime. Then he could pick up on the other aristh's giveaways.
46. Damsel in Distress
Apparently, the creature pointing the Dracon beam at him was a female from a Level Six civilization.
Some rescue mission.
80. Around the Corner
There were scientists on Earth who would probably kill to figure out how the artificial gravity worked, and she was the kid who randomly got to hang out with aliens.
21. Memories
They would alter her memory, change her mind, hide the truth about aliens from humans.
Were they any better than Yeerks?
17. Behind My Back
"They could be doing their little telepathy thing all the time! Talking about us? Aren't you scared?"
"Not really, no."
96. Reach
((I just think it's funny that for all our technology, the Skrit Na have a farther reach than we do.))
14. Past, Present, Future
"I know you said a time machine could be dangerous. But how do we know somebody won't...hasn't...already used it to go back and change the world to this?"
51. Not Thinking
She had thought they were similar, but seeing him kill whatever they were so naturally, she hoped they weren't anything alike.
