A/N: *sings* "And all is quiet on New Year's Day..." Um okay, so that had nothing to do with anything but I have various U2 songs going through my head right now. "And I must be an acrobat, to talk like this and act like that..." I should get that fixed.
Thank you: Wvy, Lan, and Bel (champagne? celebrating something?), Otterstamp (For a month and a half after I got that Cd I was hooked to my CD player 24/7), stephanie, sinead (hey, tweety), RandomThought, Mel Twinkle, Prongs, Lindsay Beth, CrystalStarGuardian, Ruka-chan, supergirl, Damy, Sophie B., Di chan, Aramina10, Dewi, Silverfox, Mystica, Fluer---@, Rehanna, genesis, do you really care?!, Bookworm, Pheonixx, shaydlee, and Redhawk.

"I don't know if I can do this," Trouble said, straightening her red robes and wringing her hands nervously.
"You'll do fine," Confusion assured her.
"And if you mess up, don't worry about it. Plot fell flat on his face during the first fic, but he was great in the second one," Complication remarked.
"Thanks. I think," Plot muttered. "You're integral to the story, my dear. Just like the rest of us."
"You really think so?" Trouble asked, face brightening.
"Certainly. Besides, it's great fun to mess with the tall ones," Confusion replied.
"And if you see the Mysterious Workings of Life, run," Complication advised.
"Very fast," Plot added.
"He's severely annoying," Confusion said. Trouble giggled.
"I think I'm going to like it here," she said.

Sirius and Remus exited the movie theater, discussing the merits of the film they had just seen. "That ending was horrible!" Sirius exclaimed.
"It left a question upon the mind of the viewer."
"Yeah, 'is that it?'"
"It's a symbolic ending. He now has to chose which direction his life is going to go."
"Hang symbolism! I want to know what he did."
"C'mon, Sirius, it's obvious."
"Well, I know it's obvious, it's supposed to be there. It's part of telling a good story."
"Part of telling a good story is also involving your audience and knowing when to end it," Remus replied. Sirius grumbled, but said nothing. They walked on.
"You don't like Draco, do you?" Sirius asked.
"Draco has shown great courage in what he did for Harry," Remus answered.
"Yes, and for that I'm grateful, but do you like him?"
"Harry likes him."
"Okay, stop," Sirius said grabbing Remus's by the shoulders. Remus obeyed, amusement glinting in his eyes. "Now answer my question. Do you like Draco?"
"It really doesn't -"
"Yes or no," Sirius interrupted.
"Not particularly," Remus confessed.
"I knew it!"
"But I do trust him, unlike some people."
"I don't trust anybody with that mark on their arm."
"He saved Harry's life. He was willing to die for him."
"I know. I know, but I'm still worried."
"You think it's a ploy?"
"It might be."
"Draco saves Harry to fool us into thinking we can trust him?"
"Yes."
"You worry too much."
"I'm just being cautious, Remy."
"You're being overly cautious."
"I'm responsible for Harry. "
"That doesn't mean you have to mother him to death. He's old enough to make some choices on his own."
"Why do you always have to be right?" Sirius sighed.
"Because I'm smarter than you."
"But I'm cuter."
"Yes, you are," Remus agreed.
