Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: I'M A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING! I'M SO SORRY! I meant to post twice yesterday, but crap happened, a bunch of speeches I had to write came up, and one thing lead to another and I forgot to write another chapter. This trimester is going to suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I'll try to update as often as possible, but with crap in school coming up and social life (never thought I'd actually have one of those) updates might not be as often as they have been.

HI KCL! Thanks for the virtual cider! It's all I ever wanted :). I'll try to update one fic at least every few days, so you won't have to miss my stories long.

Prompt 21: Individuality

Alistair admired Kitty for who she was.

So when she randomly showed up at their bench with Maddie's cloths on, a bunch of signals shot off in his brain. She sat next to him goofily and had a mad look on her face.

"Hiya Alistair! Flying like a market in the arctic?" Kitty asked with a crazed giggle.

Alistair raised an eyebrow. It took him a moment to translate, since Riddlish wasn't his first language. "Oh, how am I doing? I'm… alive. How are… you doing?"

"I'm as chipper as a chicken at the full moon dancing festival!" Kitty giggled. "So, what should we do today? Swim through a bunch of eggs?"

Alistair pretended to think about this for a moment. "I don't know," he said. "Why don't we start… with why you're acting like Maddie."

Kitty blinked but brushed it off with a smile. "Me? Act like Maddie? Nope! Just acting like plain old Kitty!" she said.

Alistair chuckled. "You're wearing Maddie's clothing, you slip into Riddlish randomly, and you are obviously acting like someone you aren't," he said. "Is something wrong Kitty?"

Kitty sighed and deflated. "Alistair… is being me good enough for you?"

Before Alistair could answer, Kitty held up a hand. "Hang on, I already know what you'd answer," she sighed. "Alistair… I'm afraid being me… isn't enough for you anymore. That you want more than what I can offer you. So… I tried to be something more than what I am."

"You tried to be Maddie," Alistair stated.

"Look at her! She's positive, assertive, isn't afraid to be a goof," Kitty said with a sigh. "And… I'm sure she's better than me in everything. I figured… you'd want me to be someone better, worth your attention."

Alistair was silent for a moment. "Kitty… you don't need to be more than what you already are. I love your own individuality, not what you copy from others. I don't need you to be anything different than what you already are. Your individuality is what I love about you."

Kitty smiled hesitantly. "But… I'm such a heavy weight on you most of the time…" she said sadly.

Alistair pulled her close and kissed her. "It's ok Kitty," he said. "I love you. You have problems sometimes and I'll be there to help you. You don't need to be someone you aren't to help relieve my stress. Be you, and I can't ask for anything more from you."

Kitty smiled at him and snuggled in close. They sat in silence for a moment until Maddie passed by them. Maddie was wearing Kitty's cloths, which Kitty noticed. Maddie turned her head and giggled. "Oops! We must have swapped heads!" Maddie giggled. Kitty and Alistair laughed and cuddled closer together.

BN: Yay for me being great! Something's wrong with my writing machine. By that, I mean my brain. I feel as though my writer's block is getting to me. I'll see if I can fix it, but we'll have to see. Now then, this one was supposed to show that you don't have to change for your loved one. Kitty needed to realize Alistair doesn't need her to change for him. He only wanted her to be herself, and he'd love her all the same.

My brain hurts. I'm going to try to fix it, so hope for an update tomorrow. If I don't, know my writer's block has returned! Sorry loyal fans.

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