Hi! This is my story, if haven't already noticed. Well, I got this idea a few days ago because here, where I live, spring is HERE! And I'm so happy that I wrote about it. Enjoy and review! And read it, of course.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything that's Ranger's Apprentice…except the books I own on my shelf. Sadly enough.

Chapter 1: SPRING! It's here!

"It's here! It's here! It's really, really here!" sang Will while doing a little dance.

"Yes! It's here! It's here! It's really, really here!" Gilan echoed, just annoying Halt even more. They sang on a little more through the sunny, warm, spring morning. Finally, Halt took a breath. A really, really, really, deep breath. And Will and Gilan's 'audience' bellowed so loud that the doors rattled and the ground shook. Well, not really, but you get the point.

"Will you shut the *bleep* ( insert colorful and super-secret ranger swear there) up already! I get it! It's spring!" Halt had a murderous gleam in his eyes. And that look. The look he has when about to murder his long-pursued enemy. Slowly and painfully. Very, very, painfully.

"Looks like someone got out of the wrong side of the bed today!" Gilan smirked.

"I don't think there is a 'right' side of the bed for Halt," Will joked.

"Ya know-," Halt was cut off by a grinning Gilan.

"What do I know?" he replied, a mischievous glint in his eye.

Halt sighed and continued, "Why are you even here, Gilan? You came out of the blue and-,"

"And what?" Gilan smiled wider than ever. By now, Halt was really frustrated. And no one wants an angry Halt coming after them.

"Why are you here?" he asked, fed up.

"Why is who here?" Will asked his face one of an angel. He was catching onto the joke.

"Wh-wha-what-!" Halt blubbered, rather like a blubbering idiot. He sighed deeply. Apprentices, or rather, former apprentices, were annoying as always. He sighed again and went to make himself some coffee. So much for enjoying the first day of spring. Walking over to the cabinet, his eyes literally popped out of his head. NO COFFEE! (huh? Omglol! This can't be happening!)

"WILL! GILAN! WHERE ARE YOU?" Halt bellowed out. Conveniently, they were nowhere to be found. He sighed for the-what is it, fourth time that short morning and went to go saddle up Abelard. Time to get some coffee.

Well, that was short. I'll try to update this and Mentally Lost later this weekend. Happy spring! I think I'll go practice whacking stuff with my epic Darth Maul lightsaber. :P
