I am really excited about this little 5 part drabble because I've always wanted to write about characters in one show watching characters in another show, but none of my TV shows would ever fit into the correct time periods until...well now. (I watch mostly westerns, documentaries, and Merlin haha) So I thought, what the heck, I'll go out on a limb and do it. I hope you guys enjoy them. :)
GUEST: First off, thank you for the compliment and I'm glad you like the stories. I'm not very good at romance, but I'll see what I can do in the future about a Danley one.

Rainy Day Marathons (Part One)
"Come on, Henley!" Daniel whined, standing in front of the screen. "You've had the TV for the past three hours."
"My show's on!" Henley replied, pushing him out of the way. "You can have it when it's over!"
"When's that going to be?" Daniel asked, folding his arms and frowning.
"Two hours." Henley told him.
"Thank God for the internet." Jack muttered as Daniel and Henley kept arguing. He put the earphones in and turned the volume up, putting the Netflix on full screen.
Merritt, attempting to read, slammed the book shut. This argument had been going on ever since they had moved into the safe house after their big heists. It had gotten so bad that he and Jack hadn't even been able to watch anything on the TV, though they had finally put their—slightly illegal—finances together and got a Netflix which they alternated with.
"That's it." Merritt snapped, cutting the two magicians off in mid-argument. "If you two aren't going to do anything but fight, then maybe we should just get rid of the TV all together."
"What?" Henley and Jack exclaimed at the same time.
"You heard me." Merritt replied, putting his book down. "If you two can't settle this arguing over the TV, then I am going to get rid of it. You two are driving me crazy!"
"It's not a far drive." Jack muttered, hiding a grin behind his hand.
Merritt just rolled his eyes, choosing to fight that particular battle later. He looked at Henley and Daniel, who just glanced at each other and folded their arms, reluctantly giving up.
"Good." Merritt rubbed his hands together. "Now, I have an idea that would work better than getting rid of the TV and would let me and Jack actually have a turn with the TV."
That, at least, made Daniel and Henley blush as they realized they had been pretty selfish with the TV.
"What is it?" Jack asked, taking the earphones out.
"Every rainy day when we have to stay inside," Merritt explained, "Each person gets to pick what show to watch and we watch that show all day, and then the next rainy day another person picks and so on and so forth."
"I'm in." Jack eagerly agreed.
"Sure, why not?" Henley seconded.
"All right." Daniel nodded.
Merritt grinned.
"It's settled then."
