~!WainGuy?~ back with a new but short chapter of X marks the Spot! Sorry that it's taking so long for Forest Children to update and well here's the bad news. No, I am not abandoning it (I love it too much to leave it alone) but I've got the dreaded writer's block! Darn you writer's block!

Warning: This is... silly.

Disclaimer: Dont own the characters but I own the plot!

*Note: Be sure to be in a well-lit room when reading this as well as being comfortable during reading.

X marks the Spot!
Pro-noun-cia-tions!

Edward was facing a major problem that seemed to others around him laugh. The major problem he had was pronouncing words properly. So everyone thought that they'd take turns teaching him how to pronounce words... every two day!

Monday:

"Heya, Eddie! Ready to learn?"

Ed rolled his eyes and scowled at his uncle.

"I'll take that as a yes then!" exclaimed an overly-enthusiastic Uncle Hughes.

"Alrighty then! *Ahem* Here's the first sentence of the day, 'Picky pickpockets pick picked pockets', and let's hear it Ed."

Ed frowned at the sentence but tried it anyway. "Pick-iee pick-pok-ets pick pick-ed pok-ets."

The older man smiled. "Alright, let's try something else then..." he said as he flipped the book. "Ah! Here's a good one. 'The glum groom grew glummer.' Try that."

"T'e gl-glll-glump grum greuw glumpper."

The older man's brow furrowed and he flipped through the book again. "Well, that wasn't too good then... Hmm..." More flipping of the page. "Here's another one. 'Does double bubble gum dubble bubble?'"

'What?'

"Doesh doub-el bub-ble gump dubble bub-ble? Tha' it?"

"Yeah, that's pretty close enough." He slammed the book shut and grinned. "You did great today so I think that's enough, don't you agree?"

Ed nodded his head and ran off to find mummy leaving a very amused Maes Hughes.

Wednesday:

This time it was daddy teaching him. And with the same book. Again!

"Aright, Edward, what day is it today?"

"Wed-nesth-thay!" he chirped excitedly. He remembered!

"Clever boy. Now, we'll start with," a pause, then, "this one. 'Sure, the ship's ship-shape, sir!' Seems a bit difficult but are you up to it?" Daddy asked, with a black eyebrow raised.

"Yes! Um... Waith... Wha' was it?"

"It's 'sure, the ship's ship-shape, sir!'"

Ed frowned in concentration and said, "Shure, t'e ship's ship-sh-sh-sh-ape! Shir!"

His daddy laughed and flipped through the book. "Good try and here's the next one; 'The sun shines on the stop sign.'"

That one's harder! So many 's's!

"T'e shun shins on t'e shop chine!"

"Guess we've done enough of the hard ones today then?"

Ed nodded. Yes! They had done a lot of hard ones today!

"Right, let's go and check on mummy then. Maybe she's done with the cookies."

"Yay!"

Friday:

Mummy's turn! Her turns were the bestest of the best! He got to sit with her and she didn't have the annoying book with the funny words!

"Alright, try 'Both bowls'."

And they were short too!

"Boff bolls!"

She laughed and ruffled his hair. "Close but not exactly. Hmm... 'A couple of cookies'?"

"A cou-ple o' cook-ies!"

It was always a lot of fun!
