Alright, so this particular author's note is in probably a couple of my fics by now. You see, over the weekend I was on a writing retreat sort of thing with this school creative writing club and I didn't have my laptop (under maintenance, annoyingly enough) but I had my phone. With the readily available stock of music, ya know, I just thought that I'd give that exercise a go.

The aim was to put your iPod on shuffle and you must write a little ficlet inspired by that song within the running time of the song. Me being a cheater and mildly uninspired, I gave myself a range of fandoms to pick from which were (by the way, I don't own them or these ficlets wouldn't be so amateurish):

Naruto, Bleach, Maid-Sama, Gakuen Alice, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bakuman and Special A.

I decided to go with simply doing a separate fic for each of them and add to them later if I decide to do the exercise again (which I did a lot throughout that retreat between sessions). Forgive me if some or really out of context or character. Time pressure! Anyway, they're numbered in the order I wrote them. They probably suck but I'm putting them out there. I edited the grammar and quickly finished unfinished ones by the way.

There are individual authors notes in them anyway...

Grenade – Bruno Mars
Ruka followed Hotaru obediently. He wondered exasperatedly where she was taking him. He was beginning to realize how masochistic he was, to actually fall in love with the cold heart that belonged to her. He couldn't do anything about it though so he just toiled daily to try and make it a positive development.

But here she was, probably taking advantage of him again. He didn't mind so much since he clearly cared about her but being treated so lowly felt bad. Unexpectedly, she pulled him to a corner and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."

#5. Author's Notes: The number to the left symbolised the order I wrote it in. This was the third one amongst the batch. Yeah, the ending was rushed since the song ran out. But Grenade... is so them hahahahaha.

California Girls – Katy Perry
She was cheerleading again, Natsume observed. She was lively so it suited her, but her uniform was a topic his thoughts lingered on. It showed far too much skin and complimented her movements.

Was that really a bad thing now? He glanced around to see Mochu and Kitsuneme staring at her too. No, definitely a bad thing. He had to do something quick.

Before he knew it he had stalked over. "You're bellybutton is showing, ugly."

He watched her face get angry. "What do you mean? It's supposed to. It's cute! Are you suing there's something wrong with my outfit because there's not!"

He smirked as it unfolded in his head. Within a second gasps could be heard when he pushed her down to the ground. "Yes, there is," he used his shoe to lift up her skirt - with careful consideration that he was the only one to see anything, "people could do this, yellow stars."

Ignoring her highly audible rage, he thought, perhaps the outfit wasn't so bad after all.

#6. Author's Notes: Okay, I cheated on this one. I took a wee bit more time since this was the last one that sitting before I had to go to a writing session. Hehe, I had some trouble picking a fandom for this song too...

Gitchie Gitchie Goo – Phineas & Ferb
Mikan had been watching a whole lot of American cartoons lately. It hadn't really been amusing natsume. Especially when she comes up with the most random words.

"Natsume!" she called before she sang. "Gitchie gitchie goo means that I love you! Did you know?"

"Well," he leaned in an pecked her lips, "gitchie gitchie goo to you then."

#8. Author's Notes: Yes, this song is on my ipod. But of course, this song just had to come up. It's short, so that' all I could come up with hehehe.

Nothing – The Script
This ocassion was supposed to help get over it; to accept it and move on. But the many morbid faces filled with concern did nothing to help. They all seemed to look at him anxiously, waiting for something.

Big help, guys. You're meant to help me get past this breakup.

But they all knew. She was everything to him; his whole world. He was probably better off dead than without her.

"This is bull," he said finally and stood up, "I'm leaving." With that, he stalked away without any protest. Upon exiting, he took a deep breath and dialed her number. Nothing.

He wanted to scream. He needed her so bad. Before he knew it, his feet were running... on the familar track to her house.

#17. Author's Notes: Okay, just to contextualise: Natsume broke up with Mikan and he went for a night out with his friends to cheer him up. But they all knew Natsume was a lost cause so they just... pitied him. Haha, well yes... we can all hope what happens next since the song lengths don't really let me actually finish any of these :P.

Author's Notes: I think most of my fics were on this fandom... of course. Haha, I'm hoping you enjoyed these instead of my wasting your time but yeah. Thanks for reading... WAIT, I JUST CHECKED. I wrote only four for this. I thought it was most... Naruto actually took most... and I thought it didn't have much :O Shows to go...


Okay, guys, these fics aren't complete, I'll post stuff up here when I feel like it and it falls in this category. That is, if you're reading these randoms anyway. These were written over two days in breaks during a school writing thing so, next sitting, I'll post a few more. It's tons of fun. Try it too!
