Natural Highs
It's been a year and a day with this fic. It feels… weird.
One of my goals for 2010 is kinda crazy. You will all think I'm insane. I am going to write one fanfic every day for the whole year. It's partially to improve my record, and partially to improve my writing style. They won't all be on this (because I have other fics and oneshots I want to write), but I think it'll be beneficial.
Disclaimer: I'm too tired. Don't hate me.
Chapter 14: Running Through Sprinklers
Jeb had installed sprinklers in the front yard. You know, before he died. Obviously, they were just to water the parched grass, but apparently my little heathens had other ideas.
"HOLY WET!" Gazzy yelled upon looking out the window. "Look at the water coming out of the ground!"
"We have a sprinkler?" Nudge squealed, looking excitedly at me. I in turn looked to Fang, who was giving me his famous furrowed brow.
"Actually, guys, that's not - "
"Let's go play!" Angel yelled, and she peeled out the door with the other two on her tail. Iggy darted outside after them, and Fang and I stood in the door.
"Not cool, kids!" I yelled out at them. I had a reason for being so obnoxious about something as simple as sprinklers. They were installed for a purpose, and, like the flock ourselves, were meant only for that purpose. Did the spigots all have little frivolous elephant heads on them and make funny noises? No. Therefore, they should not be toyed with.
"WAHOO!"
I turned to see Iggy leap through one of the jets, his eyes alight with a sparkle I hadn't seen since we first got out of the School. He was still just getting over his sudden blindness of three years past, and I got the feeling he liked to do this thing that the rest of us were doing, because it didn't require sight, only touch to feel the water.
On second thought, the sprinklers weren't so bad.
But that chapter was. Everyone go over to One Letter Stand, the other Max Ride fic I do on Tassel630's page, and bully her into writing the next chapter. And wish me luck on this.
