"Amen to that." I cheered, raising my glass in jubilation.
"Amen to what?" Asked my partner-in-crime, Trapper, as he entered Rosie's.
"You say it, Dad… You're more talenteded." I giggled a bit at my new word. I was a wee bit tipsy.
Father Mulcahy grinned a little at the new name and made eye contact with my sniggering best friend before repeating his earlier words of wisdom. "May peace come soon and may all of us be delivered back to our families."
"And may we never return to this hellhole!" Hot Lips, who was even tipsier than me shouted a bit louder than necessary, causing Ferret Face, who was sitting next to her to wince.
"Amen to that." The bar cheered.
Trapper however remained silent and stood up, making his way towards the entrance.
"Whazzamatter?" I slurred after him.
I never fully understood Trapper. There was something deep about him… Something… Mysterious that caused him to say things that actually make you think, though it's unlikely that you'll ever know what he meant.
He paused a second before saying words which still keep me up at night, trying to understand them.
"I don't pray anymore. I'm scared God'll answer them."
AN: I'd like to tell anyone who still reads my stories that I probably won't update them ever again. I'm incredibly sorry, but I'm never good with long term stories and I've recently gotten into performing in plays and musicals. I might go back to them in a while, but probably not… Every once in a while, I'll put up another one-shot, though. I hope you guys liked this one! Trapper and Hawkeye are both based off me, in this. A lot of the things that Hawk says and the way he thinks is a lot like me, but that last line by the pessimism of Trapper is completely based of me. This is a challenge I've recently come up with. Someone gives me a first sentence and a last one, and I'll write a fanfic with 100, 200 or 300 words. This was just me testing myself with it, as I gave myself the sentences. It's exactly 200 words. Feel free to give me some in a review and I'll get around to it sometime!
