THE iPOD SHUFFLE CHALLENGE

1. Pick a subject to write about (fandom, character, pairing, the first thing that pops to mind, etc.)

2. Set your mp3 player to shuffle ALL of your songs, then hit Play.

3. You have from the beginning to the end of ONE song to write, based on whatever the music inspires you to write concerning your subject.

4. Lather, rinse, and repeat for the first ten songs, no matter how ludicrous they may be!

I'm not in the possesion of iPod, but since I do posess the shuffle option in my mp3... I hope it's okay!

Megamind not mine, sadly.

Amy McDonald – this is the life

There was some kind of festival, when Megamind, 11 years old, broke out of prison. He sneaked through dark alleys watching celebrating humans. He wanted so much to join them. It was getting late, the celebration was coming to an end, he sat on one of the stair case. Not knowing when, he fell asleep. When he woke up he had a blanket around him and a note. "You can keep it."

One Day I'll fly away – "Moulin Rouge" Nicole Kidman

He felt trapped, he never complained about his life. But sometimes it was holding him down him. When he saw the sky and saw birds he thought how free and happy they must be. He did not wanted to live like this for the rest of his life. Caught in endless battles. He wanted a family, safety and hope. Even if the birds seemed free they never had home to stay… Was he a bird?

Iris – The Goo Goo Dolls

He looked through the window at her. She was so happy. Warm, delicate, yet strong. He lived only for her. Every day was meant for her. He loved her more than his life. So he pushed the doors and stepped inside. Kissed her, told her how much he loved her. The night was a goodbye. He left. The newspapers told of the heroic death of their only hero. She followed him soon.

You found me – the Fry

She felt lonely. He wasn't there. She was waiting, but he wasn't there. Her world were falling apart, but he wasn't there. Days turned to weeks. Weeks to months. She tried to live, to say it was okay. But it wasn't. She could not take it anymore.

The floor was cold, the sun was peeking through the curtains.

"You're late."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Can we go, now?"

"Yes."

"Together?"

"Always."

Bad Reputation – Halfcocked

Newspaper titles. TV spots. He was the Bad guy. And God, he loved it. But this was disturbing.

She was on roll, being even slightly evil was intoxicating. Yes, baby! He was so shocked when he saw her. Screw it, mister kidnaper! Roxie here was tipsy and did not give a damn about her reputation.

I never told you what I do for a living – My Chemical Romance

The car chase was insane. Her kidnapper took a sharp bend and finally lost the police. She was scared. He was scary. Who was he? They get off the bike. She looked at him as he took of the disguise.

"Sorry, Roxie I never told you what I do for a living."

"Megs!" Oh, the pain in his eyes…

"You should stay. Get back home with them. Live safe, not like me."

The cops were closing in on them. She had to make a choice now. He wanted to run away, as he was getting back on the bike.

"I'm going with you."

Nature Boy – John Hassell with Ronu Majumdar

The trumpet sang in the small bar. Taking everyone on a journey. She closed her eyes remembering the words. "A little strange, but very wise was he…". She saw a familiar face blue face under her eyelids along with the fishy smiley face.

"The greatest thing is just to love and be loved in return." She felt an arm encircling her and sighed with relief. Whoever said that was a very wise man.

The reason – Hoobastank

She could see his change. The effort he put into making himself a better person. But also he seemed so distant to her. She needed to know, why.

He looked in her eyes and said. "I want you to know that I'm sorry for your pain. And I'm grateful for your guidance. I know that you don't want to be with me since what I've put you through. But I'll change, and when the time comes, I'll…"

She cut him off by jumping in his arms and kissing him. Showing him how wrong he was.

"You're the reason I live."

Cell Block Tango – Chicago movie soundtrack

Prison had it's own celebrities. The "Wives Club". Harry, who shot his wife for a cold dinner. Jerry, whose wife cheated on him with six guys, she liked her scotch too much. Louis, he was cheating on his wife and she found out, he get rid of the problem with a knife. Fritz, claiming to be innocent. Vincent the celebrity whose fiancée cheated on him with his brother. And Alan, his girlfriend, a painter, couldn't "find herself". After she looked for herself with Linda, Alan had enough.

Megamind learned to never get close to them.

When he was thirteen, Fritz got executed. The club run out of one member.

Day of the Dead – Voltaire

Halloween was apparently the most favorite holiday for his keepers. But no matter how much he loved them… When Roxanne said she wants to visit during the Halloween he gulped.

The house turned into a haunted mansion, all occupants showed their true colors. Derek wore his Dracula regalia. Fritz finally stepped out of the basement and howled for the full moon. Agatha started lurking humans to her ponds to drown them (only a little bit). The rock music was blaring through the windows. Roxanne was a bit scared, but he assured her they would never hurt her, because she was his friend. This was confirmed when they invited both teenagers for a drink (alcohol free). The girl had to admit, the Halloween was the best part of the year.

I swear I did not cheated with this.

Iris and You found me are conected I think. It was a bit funny, when after Iris I've heard You found me. And the idea popped in.

One Day I'll fly away... Writing this I thought about Megamind... but it could also be applied to Metro Man... You decide, since there's no name.

Day of the Dead is based on the AU story I'm writing, but it's in polish so... ;]
