Capturing the Moment
By: Observer
" SO...what do you think?" Sting asked in a cocky tone.
Rogue had no words. Before him was an image of a girl. She had blonde hair, but to him it looked golden. Her eyes were a deep, chocalte brown, that looked like they could see into his very soul. She was wearing a light blue sweater and black jeans. On her feet were cherry red rainboots. She was sitting on a bench reading a big leatherbound book, with a white dog sitting on the ground next to her. Rogue only looked away when he felt Sting kick his shin under hte table. He looked up to see the blonde grinning like an idiot.
" So how's that for once in a life time moment?" he asked.
For the first time since meeting Sting, Rogue was at a loss for words.
chapter 2
Rogue simple stared at Sting with wide eyes as he relayed teh events that led to him finding his "once in a lifetime moment".
" So when we first split up I went straight to the mall figuring that be the best place since its so busy and lots of people,you know?"
Rogue mentally slapped himself. "why hadnt i thought of that?!"
" So anyway," Sting continued," I was walking around and couldnt find anything so i left through the back entrance and just started walking. " Let fate do as it would" kinda thing. So here I was just wlking when I found myself walking to this park. So I was like alright lets see what I can find here? and tehn I ended up almost getting run over by this dog. You know the one in the picture? Oh yeah not as cute in real life as in the photo jsut to let you know..."
Rogue just continued to listen with a blank expression on his face. "Geez he's talking more than Yukino. Skip to the end already nimrod!" he screamed. But only in his head of course Rogue wasnt some unmannered idiot like the siad nimrod in front of him.
" ...So the dog jumped on top of me and he started yapping and being really annoying so I started getting mad and frustrated trying to calm the giant fluffball on steriods down. After like ten minutes he finally stopped and ran back to wherever he had come from and me , being the nice and gracious person I am," Sting said while posing in his self proclaimed " I am awesome" pose. Rogue just rolled his eyes." So because as I said, I am a very nice person and I didnt want the poor doggy to get hurt, followed it. And low and behold what do I find after I finally track him down, none other than the blonde beauty you see before you!" he exclaimed while presenting his phone like some sort of salesperson.
After waiting for a few minutes, just to make sure Sting had finally stopped talking, Rogue finally spoke.
" So you were attacked by a dog, then followed said dog, and decided the dogs owner was pretty so you took her picture?" Rogue said in complete monotone.
Sting frowned." Well when you say it like that it takes all the awesomeness out of it. Geez I thought you were supposed to be the "creative one"?".
" There's a difference between creativity and piontless information Sting." Rogue replied.
Sting just continued to let out a long sigh before trying to continue the conversation.
" SO why exactly do you think I would have this girl as my " once in a lifetime moment?" he questioned. Rogue had a pretty good idea already but he wanted to see if maybe the blonde would prove him wrong for once.
" What do you mean!," Sting practically screamed, " because she's hot! And you dont meet alot of chicks as pretty as this one!".
Rogue mentally facepalmed. Why did he even think Sting would have a better answer than " she's hot".
Rogue sighed. Again. " I cant use that as a legitment reason numbskull. Maybe you could but I actaully care about my grades."
Sting visablly bristled. He really haed when Rogue insulted his grades or work ethic.
" If this was my stupid project I bet I could totally get a passing grade by using this photo!" Sting yelled.
" Some of us strive for more than a passing grade. And even so this still wouldnt get you anything more than " D"." Rogue explained.
Sting looked like he would blow at nay minute. Rogue found this whole thing to be way more entertaining than he thought it would be.
" Look, I'm not using this as my topic ok? Besides how am i suppose to get another, actaully class worthy, phot if I dont even know who she is?" Rogue questioned.
Sting opened his mouth than closed it. Rogue could hear him mutter several " Oh shit"s under his breath. He smirked.
" Lets just go. I dont even know why I agreed to this in the first place." he said.
Sting just jumped up out of his seat and imediatly headed for the doos grumlbing and cursing. Rogue followed thinking of why he had agreed to this. The whole way back Sting was silent except for a few murmurs here and there about all the ways they could have gotten another picture. By the time they got back to their dorm it was past midnight. As soon as they were through the door Sting had faceplanted onto his bed, still muttering. Rogue walked over to his bed and sat down. He lay down still fully dressed and waited until his roomate's muttering had stopped. Once he was sure Sting was asleep he carefully got up and walked over to Stings side. He grabbed his phone from where it was lazily thrown on the dresser. He then crept back over to his bed and opened back up the photo. He looked it over again, scrutinizing every detail. He would never admit it utloud but maybe he could use this. " Of course I'd have to come up wth a better reason than Sting's but maybe..." Rogue thought. Rogue let out a sigh. HE noticed he'd been doing so alot more often thanks to a certain idiot. After he a while he turned off the phone and pulled out a big black notebok that Sting had dubbed, " The Big Ideas" note book. Rogue flipped through the pages trying to find inspiration form his previous envures and projects. In the end he found nothing of use. He put the notebook back on his dresser an lay down fully intent on going to asleep. Right before he drifted off the the picture of the mysterious blonde came to his mind again. "Once in a lifetime moment..."
