Yellow: Fire
Flames of scarlet and orange hues danced before his eyes as they licked the room clean. The fumes from the fire suffocated him, making his throat feel as clogged as a storm drain full of sludge.
He dropped onto his knees and crawled sluggishly towards the fire extinguisher. His asthma hindered him, but he knew that he had to be fast in order to rescue her, seeing as that she'd never be able to put out a fire in eons. ("Not a job for the rich." She would probably have sniffed.) In fact, he could already hear her coughing fit from across the room.
He squinted as he tried to gather his bearings, seeing as that his eyes were watering akin to a faulty, leaking faucet. He groped around for the tool of would-be salvation, heaving a sigh of relief as the said object was safely in his hands. Quickly, he made his way to the burning oven, dousing the flames with bubbly froth and foam.
Victorious, he let the empty metal can drop to the floor with a loud 'thunk'. He then strode over to her, the perpetrator of what he referred to as an attempted (though unintentional) arson. She coughed as he loomed over her with his arms akimbo, knowing full well that she was to blame. She looked at him meekly and guiltily as she mumbled something incoherent.
"What did you just say?" He prods, though he has already deciphered her cryptic mumbling.
"I'm sorry!" She wailed. "I'll never bake cookies again!"
A/N: I wrote this with Dan and Natalie in mind; a Dan and Natalie who are friends. So this is in the future, I guess. Honestly, I haven't read the new book yet, so I've no idea how their characters are now. (Can someone tell me how awesome it is on a scale of one to ten?) I thought Natalie making cookies was a bit weird, but she's not that rich anymore, so maybe she may want to test her culinary skills?
I wrote this at school when I had writer's block, so do excuse this …crap? Nonsensical piece of writing? In truth, I was just scared that my writing had gotten rusty, and someone (You know who you are!) forced me to write.
In conclusion, I am a nutcase who writes weird stuff.
P.S.: I wrote two drabbles this time around, so don't be lazy and review both, please. :)
