Dear, Loving, Fantastic, Beautiful Readers;
I PLEAD FOR YOUR PATIENCE! PLEASE READ THIS PAGE BEFORE GOING TO THE ACTUAL STORY! I can only hope you'll listen to me.
Well, this is random! But I guess that's my fault. Blue and caffeine don't mix. I rarely drink that stuff, but I had a travel mug of hot chocolate and coffee mixed. OH, by the way, did you know that if you mix hot chocolate and Irish Cream coffee syrup, it tastes like chocolate pudding shots? Non-alchoholic, of course.
This idea popped into my head when my English teacher gave me this poem while I was on a caffeine rush:
A TOAST
By Anonymous
TO NEAREST
TO DEAREST
TO THE CREW
TO CAHOOTS
TO THE ONES WHO'VE BEEN THERE
TO THE ONES WHO'LL BE THERE
TO DROPPING EVERYTHING
TO SAYING ANYTHING
TO NO JUDGEMENT
TO NO DOUBTS
TO LOYALTY
TO TRUST
TO FAVORS
TO LIFELONGS
TO BEEN TOO LONG
TO NOTHING'S CHANGED
TO HAVING HISTORY
TO HAVING YOUR BACK
TO MOVING AWAY
TO NEVER TOO FAR
TO GROWING UP
TO SETTLING DOWN
TO YOUR SECOND FAMILY
TO FRIENDS
It just stuck with me. I found A TOAST to be cute and humorous. Then I got these images of some of the YYH characters staying at Genkai's temple, wreaking havoc and grinding on each other's nerves. I pulled out my trusty netbook and began to type. The drabbles revealed themselves in less than an hour.
I edited it a lot, so bear with me. Said netbook doesn't even have a spell/grammer check.
If I got the accents right, or if they need to be changed, let me know!
This is much different than my usual style, this time I focused (for most of it, at least,) on the dialogue, rather than describing it. I'll leave your imaginations to that. *wink*
I am looking for a good beta reader. If you're interested, please PM me. Thanks! :)
