Rating: G
Warnings: None
Artist: Paul McCartney & Wings
Album: Wings at the Speed of Sound
Song: 'The Note You Never Wrote'
Summary: Micky snorted, waving dismissively.
Peter strolled idly up the beach, to where his friends lounged after a game of beach volleyball. He gazed pensively at a greenish object that he turned over and over in his hands.
"Hey, Peter, what'cha got, there," Mike called, patting to a space of sand.
Sitting down, Peter held out the item. "I found this floating in a tide pool," he replied.
"A bottle?" Micky snorted, waving dismissively. "There are plenty of those things around, you know."
Davy nudged him. "Cool it, mate," he advised, reaching to the bottle, that had been discolored, a sheen of iridescence glazing its glass. "Looks like there's something inside," he added, pulling out the soggy cork.
Peter nodded. "That's why I picked it up. That, and the fact that it's always wise to remove litter from the beach. I think it might be a message, or something. I was trying to see if I could read it, but the glass was too dark."
Everyone gathered around curiously as Davy carefully extracted a scrap of paper from where it'd been wedged in the bottle's neck. He smoothed it out on his knee.
"Well? What's it say," Micky questioned, craning his neck to take an unsuccessful gander.
"'To whom it may concern,'" Davy read. "'If you should happen to see this bottle floating around in the ocean, then please put it back where you found it, and mind your own business!'"
Mike snatched it away. "You're makin' that up," he muttered, before reading it, himself. "Guys, he's not makin' it up."
The paper was passed on to Peter, and then to Micky, giving both of them the opportunity to confirm the message's contents.
"Well, that's gotta be the rudest message in a bottle I've ever heard of," Micky grumbled.
Title: 'I've Got a Dream'
Author:but_can_i_be_trusted
Fandom: Pokémon (Spoilers for Pokémon Black/Pokémon White)
Characters: N
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Notes: Crossposted toanythingdrabble
Artist: The Moody Blues
Album: The Magnificent Moodies
Song: 'I've Got a Dream'
Summary: Dreams are such fragile things.
Dreams are such fragile things. Bubbles that can burst with the slightest effort.
N wonders where Hilda is, now. He'd urged her to pursue her dream, to bring it to fruition. He hopes she's taken that advice to heart.
As for him...
N doesn't know what there is for him, anymore. The dream that he'd thought he was working for has turned out to be a delusion. Deception was spoon-fed to him for such a long time.
Hope seems so faint. But N clings to it. The time has come for him to build a dream of his own.
