Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Forget everything I said last chapter, I'm just going to update whenever the heck I feel like it, which is right now because I was inspired by a dream last night to write this one. I've been thinking long and hard about what to do this one on, and I just couldn't come up with anything since the topic isn't really specific. But, I swear, my subconscious knew that I would find this adorable so it waited for me to sleep. And thus, here you go.

Prompt 11: Splatter

The rain reflected Kitty's mood.

She was dressed up in her raincoat and boots as she trudged around outside. Her day wasn't all bad, but it was one of her lower days. She had her hood up and the rain pattered on top. She shivered a little, hating the fact she had to endure it.

"Hey Kitty!" Alistair called, approaching her. She gave him a light smile, but shivered again. She hated the rain. And the fact she just wasn't feeling happy today…

"Hi," she said quietly and moodily. Alistair stopped next to her and made a mental note. Whenever Kitty was moody, he had to be cautious. Guys weren't known to handle these situations right.

"Rough day?" he asked her. She gave him a 'what do you think?' look, which basically told him everything he needed to know. "That bad?"

Kitty sighed. "Today's just one of those days… where I just don't care," she sighed. "On top of it all, it's raining. I. Hate. Rain." Alistair probably could have guessed that much. Kitty was part cat, after all.

"The rain's not all bad," Alistair said, trying to lighten Kitty's mood. "I love the smell it brings. I love just looking up at the gloominess and just taking it all in."

"Just a reminder that I can't be happy today," Kitty grumbled.

Alistair sighed as they continued walking down the path. He knew that Kitty just had some moments where even he had a rough time in cheering her up. He knew she needed space… but there had to be something he could do to help her smile.

Then he saw it. To the side of the path was a patch of mud. Smirking and being as subtle as he could, he stuck his hand into the side and scooped some up. Kitty didn't notice, much to Alistair's relief. He stopped for a few seconds, letting Kitty get ahead of him. After a few steps, Kitty took notice and turned around.

"Why did you…" she started, but didn't get much farther. The mud ball Alistair had picked up left his hand and nailed her in the face. It splattered all across her cheek.

The two stood in silence for a moment. Alistair was starting to regret what he did until he saw something shimmer onto Kitty's face. A small, barely visible smile on her lips.

And a look of revenge in her eyes.

"You're going to pay for that," she hissed playfully and dove to the ground and formed her own mudball. She chuckled it at Alistair, who dodged to the side and quickly grabbed another mudball. Before he could throw it, Kitty had already formed another and nailed him in the chest. Alistair grinned and tossed one at Kitty, in which it hit her hood off.

Kitty didn't seem to mind as she laughed and threw another one, which hit Alistair in the leg. Both laughed as they threw mudballs at each other. Soon, after several minutes, both collapsed on the ground next to each other. Both were covered in mud and soaking wet. But, on each of their faces, was a large grin.

"Thank you Alistair," Kitty said. "The rain… isn't so bad when I'm with you."

Alistair gave her a warm smile. "That's another thing I like about the rain," he said. "I get to spend it out here with you."

BN: *throws a tantrum like a little kid* WHY? WHY MUST I CRY EVERY STINKING TIME? This one has officially topped my original fic in how much I enjoyed writing it. Number 68 is beloved by me, don't get me wrong, but this one was so enjoyable and I literally can't stop crying. With this one, I delved into a common stereo-type that I actually enjoy seeing. We all have those moments in the rain with our perfect someone's that we typically have the best moment of our lives in. With this couple, I wanted Kitty to at first be against the idea. She is part cat, which means she isn't a fan of water. However, Alistair knew exactly how to turn a negative experience for her into something she thoroughly enjoyed. Another thing about this chapter was that I wanted to take a little vacation on something cute and adorable before we go back into some of the darker chapters yet to come. This chapter was a blast to write and I am so glad that I've stuck with this ship for eleven chapters. (Ninety left people!)

Also, I'd like a moment to propose a possible story idea for this fandom. I've been into reading these fics dedicated to Time Loops. I'm not sure if there is a canon source for this, but an example for this is by Saphroneth. He writes them for a living in MLP and HTTYD universes. Anyway, I was thinking about doing one for EAH. It's just a beta idea, and I'd need A LOT of help to get it off the ground, but just a suggestion to think about. (If you'd like more information about Time Loops, PM me and I'll explain more.)

Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know in a review! Or don't! Either works!
