BelieverofManyThings- Ta-da! :D


One day in theater class, we had to perform a piece of fiction that was given to us. Sherlock and I were partners and got Edgar Allen Poe's Annabel Lee I could tell just by looking at him, Sherlock started working on how this was going to work. Everything was going to be perfect.


"Okay, I know how this works out," I said, "I'm Annabel Lee and you're the narrator, right?"

"Yes, that could work. Do you happen to have a light blue dress? Along the lines of the color of the sea?"

I thought for a bit before answering, "No, but I could get one. Why?"

"The poem takes place in a kingdom by the sea. I thought that it would be appropriate for Annabel Lee to be in a light blue or white dress," he answered, looking out the window of our treehouse.

"I can't believe that we have to do something similar to a play with a poem. This isn't going to be hard, right?" I asked.

"No, of course not. Because you'll be with me," he came over, gently wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on mine.

"I wonder what John has."

"I believe that he said that he had to work with a young lady named Mary and they are doing Eldorado. He's going to do a fine job at that."

"Remember the night that I first met John?" I asked, looking up at him.

"Yes," he patiently answered.

"Why did he keep the puppy?"

Sherlock was silent for a minute. "His alcoholic sister is a slight problem for him. So, the puppy is a nice distraction. It keeps him company when she isn't sober."

"He has a good reason to keep it, at least," I replied, smiling.

Sherlock suddenly stood up and offered me his hand, "Come on, we have to get ready," he said pulling me to my feet.


A/N: Originally, I was going to make them do The Raven, but thought that Annabel Lee would be better. :) Virtual Hugs for everyone!
