Morg: Heyo! So I was going to do this for my birthday but that didn't actually work out due to the fact that is has been months since my birthday. Don't worry! I'll explain everything. Remember, I own nothing!

~Just Shugo!~

Hushing Tala so that the fluffy puppy would stop barking, Morg moved to open the door. Just outside of it were the two people that were completely within her own mind and yet standing in the hallway outside her tiny apartment. "Ah, about time you showed up."

With his hands tucked deep into his pockets, Ikuto tilted his head to the side as he stared right back at the girl that had told him and Amu to show up. He always forgot how tall Morg actually was. There wasn't a way for him to use his intimidating height here because he didn't have it. "You're lucky we came at all."

"Yeah," Amu spoke up from just behind the male still standing in the doorway. "It isn't like we had to come. You don't own us."

Repeating the last words back to the two people she had yet to let inside, Morg didn't bother to hide her mocking. "You don't own us. Everybody on earth is aware of that fact. You don't have to constantly bring it up."

Pushing past both Ikuto and Morg to enter the small apartment and play with the giant white puppy, Amu rolled her eyes. "Yes, I do. Otherwise, you'd completely ignore the fact that you don't and do whatever you like."

Smirking as he finally ducked through the low doorway, Ikuto dropped onto the small sofa to laze there. He wasn't about to make room for either female since that would just leave an opening for the dog as well. "Doesn't she do that already?"

"You two can just shut it. I don't make you do anything."

"Except come to these little writing party things that you have so you can force us to do weird things in your stories."

Glaring over at Amu, Morg dropped to the floor to sit at the low table. She was well aware of the fact that Ikuto wasn't going to give up any couch space. "Yeah, except for that. Speaking of which, I have an announcement for you two today."

Perking up just slightly, Ikuto bothered to actually look at Morg. "Is it the kind that I like?"

Groaning, Amu buried her face into the dog's fur so that she didn't have to be a part of their reality for a bit.

Morg shrugged at the male reclined on the sofa while ignoring the suffocating pinkette nearby. "It might be. I want to start a new story, but it is going to be slightly different."

Picking her head up, Amu blinked a few times in confusion. "Different how?"

"I don't know if I like different."

Reclining onto her hands, Morg looked from one fictional character to the other. She always pictured the two to be older than they were in the manga. Probably because she was already twenty six years old and didn't need to be writing naughty things about children. "Remember that competition I had forever ago?"

"No."

Ignoring Ikuto, Morg continued, "It was that one where everyone could submit titles and then we all voted and I wrote shorts for the two winners."

Amu ran her fingers through her own hair before going back to petting Tala. The big baby was whining for more attention within seconds of being ignored. "I might slightly remember that."

"Well," Morg started as she looked between the two. "I kept all the titles that were submitted. I don't really want them to go to waste so I think I'll do something with them."

Catching on, Ikuto kept his gaze on the real human and ignored the fact that Amu was going to smell like dog for hours after they left. "Something different."

Nodding, Morg pulled out her ever trusty notebook that contained all manners of notes and plot ideas. It was a gold mine of fanfic and was sacred. It was also missing the back cover and had loose pages falling out, but that was due to love not neglect. "I want to write shorts for all of them. Nothing more than just one chapter, but they'll all be different lengths."

Scratching Tala's tummy, Amu propped her head in her free hand as she rejoined the conversation. "You're going to have to credit the readers that submitted the titles."

"Of course," Morg said as she flipped open to the pages of the notebook that contained not only the titles but all the usernames of her readers that submitted them. "I've got the list. I'll just put the name at the beginning of each short unless they'd rather go unknown."

Yawning, Ikuto laid back the rest of the way. He didn't need to be looking at any of the girls-the dog included-to keep having the conversation they were having. With his eyes closed, he kept himself from falling asleep by thinking secret things that he wanted to do to Amu later. "What about your new readers that didn't have the chance to submit a title forever ago? Are you going to let them submit some now?"

Biting at her bottom lip, Morg looked at the incredibly long list of titles that she already had to write. "Do you think that's a good idea? I doubt I'll finish before I'm dead if I let them."

"You know," Amu said from the floor next to Tala. The dog had finally calmed down and was now allowing the pinkette to use her as a pillow. "You could just burn that entire notebook and be done with writing forever."

"No."

It didn't surprise the pinkette that both Morg and Ikuto had responded the same way at the same time. They were so insistent on these silly stories. Amu really didn't understand the appeal of them. No one likes seeing her in a relationship with a perverted neko. Especially herself. "All I'm saying is that it's an option."

Glaring at the girl that was pointedly ignoring said glare, Morg hugged her notebook to her chest. "It really isn't."

Clearing his throat, Ikuto broke the awkward half staring contest to resume the conversation. "So, are you going to allow new titles or not?"

"I mean," Morg said. "It is only fair if I do."

Sighing, Amu gave in. There was no stopping the other two, but maybe she could put some sort of limit on them. "Then have them only submit one or two. Anything beyond those numbers will be ignored. You've got too many already."

Staring down at the list, Morg thought about Amu's suggestion. It wasn't a bad one. Limiting the new number of titles that could be given would mean that new readers had the chance to submit one without it becoming a ridiculous endeavor. "All right. Then we'll do that. New readers are allowed to submit two titles. Old readers can ask if they want to know if they have already done so or not. I mean, I do have the list. It would be easy to check it."

Peeking one eye open, Ikuto turned his head so that he could see the girl sitting on the ground. Morg was clearly excited about her plan. "So here's what I think, you should update this one once a week."

Ignoring Amu's objection, Morg wrinkled her nose while silently admitting that Ikuto had a point. "I should, but you know how bad I am at that."

Shrugging, which was sort of awkward while he was lying down, Ikuto let his eye fall back shut. He was really hoping that their little meeting thing was almost done. There was too much dog hair all over him and Amu and it needed to be gone. "If you don't update once a week you really will be writing these until you die."

Sighing, Morg couldn't help but agree. "Fine, I'll do my best to post one a week."

Getting to her feet, Amu dusted off her pants. Not that it did much good since the dog hair was already on her hands to begin with. "It's okay if you miss every week. No one will mind."

Scowling, Morg didn't bother to respond to that jibe as Amu moved to drop down onto Ikuto's stomach. The mostly asleep male let out a small hiss type noise but otherwise didn't move.

With her hands folded in her lap and her butt pushing the air out of Ikuto's lungs, Amu looked down at Morg. "So, what are you going to do now?"

Smirking, Morg pointed at the laptop sitting just in the other room on her bed. "I figured now would be a good time to write."

The pinkette moaned, but the suffocating cat boy seemed pleased.

Morg: Due to the fact that ffnet has this rule about no posting author's notes as single chapters, I had to get a bit creative. I hope none of you mind! Also! Please do contact me about titles or keeping your name off them or whatever. I hope you are all as excited about this as I am!
