The Legend Begins...Mischief, Mayhem, and Novelty Items
A Booklight Story by WickedTigerlily (wickedtigerlily@yahoo.com)
Meryl felt the tall blonde watching her intently as she checked the address carefully printed on the envelope for the tenth time before handing it to the slightly impatient postal worker. With a satisfied smile, Meryl turned to leave. Vash's long strides matched her quicker, shorter ones as the two made their way back to the rented house. However, the amiable silence of their short walk was shortlived.
"Hey Meryl, I've been meaning to ask you something..." he began a little hesitantly.
Meryl gulped, afraid of what he might say, but too curious to back out. "Yes, Vash?"
"How do you do your reports at night when there are no lights on?" he
asked innocently.
She blinked a couple times in confusion.
"Oh. I have a booklight." She reached into her cape and pulled out the small light, dropping it into his open palm.
Meryl turned her gaze back to the dusty road, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. She could see Vash out of the corner of her eye as he examined the light gingerly, using the very tips of his fingers.
"Um, Meryl...?" he squeaked.
"What is it Vash?"
"This is...um..."
"Spit it out, Vash," she said, feigning irritation at his hesitation.
"THISISAPENIS."
Meryl raised a skeptical eyebrow. "What?"
"Nevermind." Vash dropped the offending item back into her hand, and backed away slowly. "Um...I have to go...and get donuts. Uh...BYE!" he hollered as he ran away, leaving a cloud of dust behind him.
Meryl watched the crazed blonde escape, and began to giggle evilly as
she pocketed the penis-shaped booklight. I am sooo bad, she thought
as she whistled and started her latest report.
