A/N: For this challenge, I shuffled my playlist and posted the first 20 songs. Requesters selected a song and a character and I wrote a scene in 15 minutes or less.

Jade, Family Tradition
"Saphir," Jade said, smirking. "You have to do it."
"But I don't want to," the other boy protested.
"But Peony and I both have so if you don't you can't be in our club anymore."
Saphir's eyes widened in near terror. "No! I don't want to be kicked out!"
"We'll replace you with Nephry," Peony said.
"A GIRL? You'd replace me with a girl?"
"Yes," Jade replied. "Unless you do it, too."
Saphir looked at his two friends and sighed. "Ok. I'll do it."
Jade tried not to snicker as the white haired boy touched his tongue to the metal statue. "I told you it would get stuck," he said to Peony. "You owe me 25 gald."
For Hikari Chan
Asch, Who Says You Can't Go Home?
Asch didn't want to go back to the manor. He didn't want to remember all the things he tried to hard to forget--the servants names, how many paces it was from the drawing room, the color of the carpets.
But all of those were excuses and he knew it. The real reason he didn't want to go back was a fear of rejection. His parents had become so attached to the replica. Would he even be welcome?
He found his answer the moment he entered the gates. His mother, her eyes filled with tears of joy, threw her arms around him. He didn't know what to do, but his arms folded around her back and heard himself whisper, "I missed you, Mother."
