I love your reviews, thank you so much! Now as promised, here's the fourth vignette...

This one was a bit harder than the rest, started as a solo (like Nicole and Chase's) but then turned into a couple, oh well...hope you like.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Red Licorice

She plopped down in one of the big armchairs that faced the TV in her living room, one hand in the remote, another hand in a red licorice filled bag. Her finger seemed to have life of its own as it passed each channel without hesitation or a second look from the brunette.

Her lips showed a slight trace of red from all the licorice she had been eating; finally her finger stopped as a movie caught the eye of the owner of said finger.

"Oh no it was coming up, the word vomit, I didn't mean to say it but-"

She laughed lightly at the sight of Lindsay Lohan playing the role of 'Cady' and grabbed hold of another string of the red sweet; suddenly her cheeks seemed to blush.

She was barely fourteen and all the others where gone, it had been just the two of them and 'Mean Girls' was going to be played in the girls lounge. He offered to go with her knowing very well that the teenager who played the lead role in the movie was her favorite actress.

His hand knocked once in the 101 room to find that the girl was ready, tonight her hair was free of its usual funky colors.

"What? No potato chips?", he shook his head at the same time he offered her a half smile, "Nope, just red licorice".

She grinned at the sight of the small plastic bag in his hand, "I love licorice".

His smile turned shy, "I know".

A sudden scream from the TV caused her to leave memory land and get back to chewing on the red candy that was the starting point of her first love; a small smile could be seen playing on her lips.

I don't love this one since I actually find ML hard to write (at least for me), but I think it came out pretty well.
