Because you watched the second showing of Field Trip, just to see the alternate ending, this is…

a hundred ways to love

prompt no. 96:

writer's choice; sentence claims

33. Charm

"Really, I'm surprised that you hadn't fallen for my good looks and charm long before now," he had said. She had glared.

34. Roads

No matter where she went, or what she tried to do to get away, her heart always led her back.

35. Hunger

And, suddenly, there was a new kind of passion.

36. Reciprocity

She knew she was safe as long as she had him to depend on.

37. Kind

They had been best friends too long to really do the usual carry-your-books thing.

38. Fruity

Lying on his chest, she kissed him on the lips and smiled. "Aren't you a little too old for Froot Loops?"

39. Half-life

When he wasn't there, as corny as she knew it to be, she felt incomplete.

40. Comedy of errors

Because they were best friends, she laughed when he fell.

41. Tragedy

Moze did not want to believe that Ned really went back to Suzie as fast as he did.

42. Hope is the thing with feathers

"Sometimes," she had wished, when she was very small. "I think we should fly away together and never come back."

43. Empire

She had the beauty and confidence to command thousands.

44. Turpentine kisses and mistaken blows

She hadn't known what effect being silent would have on him, and she certainly didn't mean to hurt him.

45. Rings

He gave her a 25-cent ring from a machine, and she knew that there was some kind of vague memory behind this.

46. Dust

"If I had gone blind with that dirt in my eyes, you would have felt sorry."

47. Every you, every me

She had never noticed how close they were, until she realized that she and Ned were basically the same person.

48. Project

School projects were never as fun when they weren't together.

49. Adore

He never realized how much she loved him until she said it.

50. Murmur

With his face buried in her neck, he whispered serious things and silly things, his lips touching her pale skin, until it all blended together into three simple words.

51. Above

She had never really realized when he had gotten taller than she was.

52. Below

"Too far," she scolded.

53. Incalculable

He had tried to reason, for Ned was one who liked logic, how much he really loved her. He had been trying since he was five years old, and he still didn't have an answer.

54. Wire

Tripping over a wire and falling on your knees is much more fun with someone soft to land on.

55. Landslide

Her heart knew she was falling long before her head did.

56. The beginning is the end is the beginning

It was a new section in the guide, and the end to an era of friendship, opening the door to something more.

57. Door

When one door had closed, it nearly took them too long to realize the other one had opened.

58. Enemy gate

Glaring at Faymen, Ned knew that they could never really be best friends.

59. Stone

When they were young, they had, in little-child scrawl, written their names in the sand of a beach. It washed away, later to be set in stone.

60. Bright

He had never known a brighter light in the world than her smile.

61. Stories

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful and talented princess who fell in love with, not a prince, but something even better; her best friend.

62. Chime

Ringing out clear as a bell, Ned's voice told her again and again that he loved her.

63. Laugh

For was there anything more beautiful than the sound of Moze's laughter?

64. Hold

Hand in hand, they could never fall.

faq:

thirty-two one-sentence "claims", using the prompts from 64damnprompts.

I hope you readers aren't still completely confused. it's a bit hard to explain, but I see that some of you got it, and that's just bad planning on my part.

I liked field trip. yay!

like all drabbles, these are not meant to go together. none of them flow into the other, they are all a separate entity.

I think I like the second set more than the first. because I am a hopeless romantic, these are my favorites: 34, 42, 50, 61.

thanks,

the management
