Ranger's Apprentice 100 Themes Challenge

by Caramel Cheescake

My response to the 100 Themes Challenge. I can't quite describe it, because it'll be all over the place, but hopefully, it'll make you smile. Or frown, depending on how I dealt with the theme. Rated T for mild cursing. Spoilers for books 7, 8 and 9.

"Jenny, you have got to stop feeding him. He's starting to critique the food I make."

"Gil, it's healthy for him to have an opinion."

"That may be true, but he's five."

They both looked towards the aforementioned five year old, who was out of earshot. He saw them looking and waved.

Jenny turned back to Gil. "He does not critique the food you make."

Gil snorted. "He does. You should hear what he says; Papa, how come Jenny's food had more vegetables?"

Jenny laughed. "He does not. Kids don't like vegetables."

"He does. Only when you make them. It's like a treat or something."

Jenny smiled, watching Benny play. "He must be a treasure."

Gil nodded. Yup. Just as much of a treasure as you.

Once again, I have a Jenny fic with a cheesy ending. I like her though...I also like the Gil/Jenny pairing. He actually isn't 10+ years older than her, because he was in his early twenties in the first book.
