quaggy Okay, I'll admit that none of these are my best effort, but it feels so nice to actually post something, I'll take what I can.
And even if they're only drabbles, at least it's two that I can cross off of this ridiculous list of mine!
Title: Rock Garden
Word Count: 100
Fandom: Life
Notes: Inspired by the Zen rock gardens in Kyoto. The idea finally came together after I stopped trying to figure out why Charlie was in Japan and just let him be in LA.
“Hey, Reese?”
"No, Charlie."
"You don't even know what I'm going to say!"
"You can't have a Zen rock garden."
"Okay, maybe you do know what I'm going to say."
"Considering we're standing in the middle of one, it wasn't that hard."
"Come on, Reese! Ours would be even nicer than this one. It wouldn't have a dead body."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that."
"What?"
"Nothing. Isn't it a little ironic that you're coveting something that's supposed help you detach yourself worldly possessions?"
"Doesn't that mean I don't just want it... I need it?"
"No, Charlie."
"But―"
"No."

Notes: Post-ep for Transition. Remember that scene with Santos asking Donna about Josh?
So, I did something sort of dumb. I asked Donna about Josh. If he was dating anyone.... Don't look at me like that, Helen. It sounds much worse than it was. I was worried about the guy and figured that Donna would know if...
I knew they were close once and whatever happened to change that didn't seem to be relevant anymore. And anyone with half a brain could tell that they belong together! So, I figured that maybe I could help things along.
Fine. I guess I was matchmaking. A little bit. But if Donna thought― It was exactly as bad as it sounds, wasn't it? I shouldn't have even bothered. Apparently Josh, all on his own, decided he'd rather take Donna on vacation than his blackberry.
Well, of course, I sound disgruntled! I had to find all this out through the grapevine! It's not like I'm not trustworthy. I’m the President-Elect! You know what my security clearance is? But when it comes to personal stuff, nobody ever tells me anything. And don’t think I’m not grateful. But this was something I actually wanted to know!
Oh, stop laughing at me. I know I sound like a teenage girl.
