Disclaimer- Nope. Not me. The words aren't even mine- by the way, Alex, you have officially been christened The Best Friend Ever.

1. Mirror

Sometimes I wonder why I'm not beautiful. Sometimes I yell at myself for thinking it matters. Sometimes I cry about it. And sometimes, most of the time, he tells me I am.

2. Ink

My face peers around the door, watching him write, his forehead crinkled and his ears pushed out slightly in concentration. The ink stains his fingers and I smile as I walk away.

3. Forever

I would like it to be forever, but how long can this perfection called love really last?

4. Snow

Those beautiful ice crystals land on her hands and turn her fingers red. He holds them to keep them warm. She can't feel the cold anymore.

5. Storm

If I had to guess what he would taste like, I think it would be rain. Fresh and bright, and deliciously alive.

6. Complete

He stands up and announces that the script is finished. He strides over to me and takes my face in his hands. He kisses me and then walks out, smiling, and I am standing with my fingertips to my lips.

7. Clock

He stared at me, and for once I felt like I was someone to be noticed. I could hear the ticking of the clock on his desk, and I wished wholeheartedly that it would slow and this moment would last forever.

8. Myth

It is windy outside when I tell him the story of 4 girls, and how they changed. He thinks me more than a story-teller.

9. Profile

She doesn't think she is beautiful, but when he stares at her from the side of the stage, he certainly thinks she is.

10. Present

She gets the giggles at the thought of Charlie with a bow around his head, but he certainly was a gift from God, even though she's not so sure if she believes in God anymore.

11. Mask

She doesn't need the mask she used to hide behind anymore. It was thrown away with her scars, because she doesn't need any of that anymore.

12. Ring

If she closed her eyes and imagined what she really wanted, she would hear church bells, and feel the weight of a new ring on her finger.

13. Legacy

She wonders if her mother could sing like her, or if her father was sweet like Charlie. The sad thing is, she'll never know.

14. Muse

He calls her his muse to have an excuse to hear her laugh and to watch her blush.

15. Book

He could fill a book with all the things she makes him feel.

16. Dance

She laughs as he twirls her on the empty stage, in the empty theater, and thinks that if she could live like this forever, she would be happy every moment.

17. Dress

She tries on the dress for the play, just to be sure it fits, and when she has trouble buttoning the last button, she feels his fingers close it for her.

18. Wink

When he winks at her after she finishes her song, it tears her breath away until she has to sing again.

19. Rules

She forgets the unspoken code that says a woman must be on the receiving end of the line, and leans forward to kiss him.

20. Shock

After the show is over, he shocks Ann (and everyone else) by sweeping her into a hug and spinning her around. She feels like she can fly.

21. Challenge

The first time he kisses her, it feels like a challenge. The first time she kisses him, it feels like an answer.

22. Lines

The first time she sees the line drawn to their show, she barely notices how she clutches excitedly to his hands. He does.

23. Corset

The first time Ann is alone with Charlie, she wonders if her corset has been pulled a little too tightly.

24. Castle

Waking up one morning, she groggily considers being a princess, and ponders who her prince would be. She doesn't have to think very long.

25. Self

She isn't too sure of who she really is, but she's starting to find out. And she's starting to see it in someone else.

A/N- I have to thank Hawiian Girl for the inspiration of this chapter (Key to Victory was absolutely brilliant!) and my friend Alex for giving me these words and staying up 'till one in the morning, cheering me on.

Much Love,
Scales.

P.S. I really enjoyed doing this. I may have to do another...
