"So, how was your visit?" Temari asked her ex-homicidal younger brother. "It was… Nice" Gaara said, trying not to get annoyed with her. That was what real families did, right, they didn't get annoyed with each other? …Maybe. But then why was Temari always hitting Kankuro upside the head? Gaara would have to ask Naruto next time he saw the blond. "Did you do anything fun?" Temari prompted. Their family therapist had suggested that one part of getting closer would be to show an interest in each other's activities, something that they had never really done before. "Yes." "What did you do?" Temari probed, hoping the answer wouldn't

Do you ever feel like you are screaming But your voice does not even make a sound No one hears your voice crying out From the pain you are in Do the people ever hear you crying Your voice crying out in the dark It echoes around you so empty Your voice just coming back to you Is this the darkness that will not end Or is this the kind that has a light Is this reality or obsession When your voice carries on through the night No one cares if it echoes all around you No one cares if your screaming never ends No one is there when you lose your voice inside you Least of all never your friends (Least of all never your friends) Can th

Chapter One: In which Lina Inverse says "Screw That" to being proper, and has a conversation with a frog. Zefilia was not really a large kingdom, if you thought about it, that was north of both Elmekia and Seyruun. White magic was respected there, and there was a Hero academy set up just so that the next batch of Heroes would be know how to do Great Deeds. However, despite the academy, the kingdom of Zefilia was actually quite tame, and the knights in the palaces kept there armor shiny just for show. Occasionally a fairy godmother would be mis-invited to a christening, but that was rare, and it was usually quite easy to break the curse- y

"So, Allegra, how did you like the movie?" Celeste asked with a grin. "It was okay..." Answered Allegra, trying hard not to look at her friend. "Aw.... You're blushing~" Said Celeste, her grin growing more devious then it had been (a rare feat!) "No, I'm not." Allegra replied with a glare. "Wait- Allegra's blushing? This I've gotta see!"

"You really liked that movie, didn't ya?" "Yes." "Even though it's Disney?" "Even though it's Disney

Spoilers for the JLA episode "Secret Society It was the first time anything of the sort had ever happened. One of the crooks (a superstitious and cowardly lot) that Batman was trying to interrogate just wasn't afraid. Not even when Batman held him off the side of the roof! He had just smirked, and told the Bats that he had been "out-Batmanned". Batman was still trying to get the information out of the crook, when he received a call on his Justice League communicator. "Hey Bats" Flash, that was just... Great. "You're needed for a founders meeting. Most of us were running around doing our own thing, so Supes sent out a Javelin for us to al

It's pizza night. Pizza is easy. It doesn't lie to you, or tell jokes to deflect the answer, or act as if it's own life is worthless. Yeah, pizza's easy. KF's the only one actually eating, though, downing a bite and pretending that everything's normal when it's not. M'Gann is holding a cup in hands clasped so tightly Robin imagines her knuckles would be white were she human. Kaldur too has a cup, though he is staring into the water as though it will tell him the secrets of the universe. Superboy is staring (glaring), but not saying anything for once. Artemis is sitting relaxed on the chair, and she's going over her arrows. He would almost
