This is a sort-of drabble without a prompt. It's a piece of writing that may or may not make it's way into an upcoming story post, but I'm feeling excited about actually writing and so I felt like sharing it now. If you'd rather not know, it is a bit of a spoiler, but it covers some of the same ground as the previous JRO chapter. All that's new is a little glimpse of the scene between Johnny and Ripp that wasn't shown because Phi had stepped out to give them a moment.

Interested? I'd love a little feedback/speculation to help me get back in the writing groove.

And now for something a little different. ;) I've been considering this prompt for ages, and here it is, complete with images! This is for anyone who wants to see more of the Strangetown children.

Happy Valentines Day! I recieved this drabble prompt just yesterday, and it seemed timely, so here's a little commercial for you.

I'm home sick today, so I've been doing a little writing. It's also been snowing for the first time this year, and the ground is all white outside. It's really sort of nice in a slushy, dreary sort of way. I love how snow brightens things up. We really need it this time of year.

Anyway, back to the drabble. This will probably end up in the next update, more or less. It takes place when Bottom is picking up Vidcund from the train. He flew first, then took a train, to be exact. You do not visit Veronaville from Strangetown on a whim (which has always been my issue with the merged hoods and how easily the various townsfolk can mingle, but now I'm getting off topic again...).

Here's something nice and light to read before you go to bed. Or maybe not.

My writing usually reflects the overall mood I'm in, which I'm sure is common enough among people who write. It's been quite a difficult week here, but we're getting through it. As a result, I'm bringing you a fight between our happy couple who haven't even made it past the "honeymoon phase" in the story yet. It's set at some point in the future. I'm not sure exactly how far into the future, but you'll get the general idea as you read it.

This is actually sort of funny, because I wrote this without checking the prompt request page, and I thought music_simbol's prompt for Ripp had been love. That prompt was actually for Tank (Ripp's was regret), and it was the very last drabble I wrote. Head, meet desk.

Anyway, I wrote it, so here it is. I realize you'll probably know every event in this chapter by the time it gets here, but at least I'm writing something, right?

I've been thinking about the story today. I'm hoping to get Chapter 31 (part 1) up tonight, and this little snippet comes from part 2 of the same chapter. I don't think it will show up in the story from Johnny's point of view, since I've already written it more from Ripp's, so it's a little extra thing.
