PLAYLIST CHALLENGE!

Okay, guys, this one is a little different. I have a pretty large playlist for Varian and Juliet amassed and I remembered an old challenge back from my Ever After High days (shout-out to anyone who ready my awful EAH fanfic, which is technically still up to shame myself – it's really bad, like I switched between third and first person with no warning bad), where you take a playlist and listen to the first ten songs, and in those ten songs you write something the entire length of the song.

No editing, no going back after the song finished, just straight up flash (fan)fiction. This is goanna be fun folks!

1.She's So Gone – Naomi Scott (from Lemonade Mouth)

Juliet pulled at her braid so that it sturdy and then sprawled herself across the bed, her head resting against Varian's chest. Varian laughed at her motion and looked up from the book he was reading.

"You tired, love?" Varian asked.

"Just a little," Juliet answered, shutting her eyes and leaving her legs dangling off the right side of the mattress.

"You know, you used to announce when you were going to sleep," Varian said. "I miss that. I could prepare for you invading my personal space."

She stuck out her tongue. "Shut up."

2.Ready As I'll Ever Be – Cast of Tangled (I KID YOU NOT THIS ACTUALLY CAME ON)

Juliet's heart hurt and her head hurt and everything hurt.

She wanted this day to be over, she wanted to go back, she wanted everything back. She wanted Varian back.

They took him, they took him from her, left her alone. She peeked out the window of the room she had found, where she could see the outlines of the royal mosaic. She frowned.

She would get him back. When she was ready.

3.Crazier Than You – Krysta Rodriguez and Wesley Taylor

"We've had this argument for three years, just admit it: I'm crazier than you!"

Varian scoffed at his fiancée, leaning back in his chair.

"Yeah, right, sure Jules," Varian waved off. Juliet frowned and leaned forward, across the table with a smirk.

"Say it! I'm crazier than you!"

"Never!" Varian said, leaning forward too. "I'm crazier than you!"

"What's going on in here?"

Both Juliet and Varian turned to see his dad standing in the door, and Varian was sure he died.

4.Who I'd Be – Cast of Shrek: The Musical

Juliet peaked through the leaves of the tree, watching Ben and Shuri in the clearing below. She smiled at the sight of the two deer, happy to see the two little ones were feeling better.

She stepped back from them, letting the trees close again. Azul had told her not to go near the others again, and she was so little, and he knew best, so who was she to fight him?

She had just wanted to see how they were doing.

She turned around to go back to their territory, feeling rather sad. She missed the two of them. They were good friends of her, or they had been, but she was almost twelve now so she shouldn't be with other animals that's what Azul said.

Her fate was up to him, because he knew best, and he made the rules and strictures.

That was the way things were. It just was.

5.Better In Stereo – Dove Cameron

Juliet pulled Varian up from where he had fallen, a smile in her eyes.

"Did you fall again, slow poke?" Juliet teased.

Varian brushed off some dirt from his pants. "Not all of us have literally ran over sand their whole life, Jules."

Juliet beamed and leaned up to kiss his cheek. "Still makes you slow, love."

He rolled his eyes and took her hand in his. "Well, now we can go the same speed."

Her smile deepened. Oh no. She had an idea.

She took off in a flash, pulling him forward and forcing him to keep up with her. Varian scram from the sudden jerk.

6.Pulled – Krysta Rodriguez and Adam Riegler

Quirin watched Varian closely, who in turn was watching Juliet with a smile.

Varian …was different now. He was still Varian, that was obvious, but something was just strange. Varian's world seemed now centered around this girl, but that smile told him Varian didn't mind.

Quirin shifted in his seat, Juliet pulling Varian out of the room and outside. Juliet had been clucking around about Varian needing sunlight earlier.

It would have taken him three days and a bribe to get Varian outside. All it took was Juliet suggesting sunlight and he was up and ready.

He was being pulled towards her. And Quirin would figure out why Varian was pulled to her.

7.There Are Worse Things I Could Do – Vanessa Hudgens from Grease: Live!

Varian supposed something worse could have come out of this endeavor. He could have ended up executed or thrown in jail for all time. Instead he got a reduced sentence and visits from Rudiger and Juliet.

But the month they had been gone was torturous. Every time he heard a rustling, he thought he could almost hear Juliet's laugh or Rudiger's feet.

But every time he was wrong. So in a way, it was also the worse thing.

8.Stay – Original Cast of Amélie

Rudiger was confused. Varian and Juliet obviously liked each other, if the way Varian was always turning red when Juliet smiled or they way Juliet twirled her hair when Varian talked to her were an indication.

Why were humans so weird? Varian and Juliet wanted to be with each other, so why didn't they? Humans took so much longer with these things.

They were nice to each other and gave the special smiles they never gave anyone else and even hugged longer. What was wrong?

9.Mamma Mia – Meryl Streep (Motion Picture Soundtrack)

"Dance with me!" Juliet said excitedly, twirling around the kitchen.

Varian looked up from the book he was reading.

"What?" he said.

"Dance with me!" she repeated. She didn't wait for an answer from him, taking him by the arms and swinging him next to her.

"Jules, there's no music," Varian said. She rolled her eyes and took one of his hands again, continuing to dance.

"That's the best kind of dancing, 'Rian!" Juliet said. Varian sighed and tried to step away, but she held on tighter and gave him a pleading smile.

Okay, so a little dancing wouldn't kill him.

10.Shut Up and Dance – Walk the Moon

"Varian!" Juliet called to him from nearly thirty feet away. Varian blinked at her incoming, enraged form.

"What did I do now?..." he whispered under his breath. Quirin laughed, apparently having heard what he said.

"Hey, Jules," he greeted.

"Ask questions later," Juliet said. "But right now, I need you to take my hand, smile, and walk with me somewhere."

"Why?"

"What did I say about questions?"

"Okay, okay!" Varian said, taking her hand.

Here we are, the end. What do you guys think of these little flashes into their lives? It was fun because I had four nano-seconds to come up with an idea and then like three minutes to write them. Some of them look like they make nonsense with the song, but I went with a more metaphorical than literal when I couldn't squeeze it in.

And the Mamma Mia works more with the Shut Up and Dance one, but I couldn't have two of the same one. *sigh* Hindsight is 20/20.

Review replies:

Crystalmoon39: Xavier is ... protective once he settles into his role as her dad for real, so when Varian and Juliet start dating it takes much convincing from Juliet for Xavier not to dislike Varian. But he makes Juliet happy, so he didn't do anything to stop her. Oh and I haven't dropped a review on it - but I love your X-Men: Evolution fic! It was one of the earliest fics I found on the site and I really enjoyed what you have up so far. Thanks for leaving a comment and have a blessed day!
