Hello! Any ideas of what stories I should update next? I have been on vacation watching penguins poop (very entertaining) and have not been really writing all that much. So, in the evil 6 hour car ride, I decided to do the songxdrabble thingy, so here it is :) It was originally in purple ink!

Disclaimer: Ranger's Apprentice does not belong to me, not even Sarah. Sarah belongs to Bralt, full credit to her.

The First Five

1. Complicated by Avril Lavigne
HoracexCassandra

They were getting married. Simple as that, as it sunk into his mind. But he thought he wasn't good enough. No, he knew he wasn't good enough for the Crown Princess of Araluen. Not good enough for her. Not good enough for the kingdom. Not good enough for anyone. Not even his beloved horse. It was complicated, with the protocol, the clothes, the manners, the fake smiles and laughter, the lies. Cassandra noticed this strange change in behavior in him. It made her frustrated that they couldn't live a nice, quiet life. He was on edge, faking everything, more than ever before. In fact, he wasn't faking anything before this all sunk deep in. It almost surprised her, since she grew up with this, but never wanted to approach him with her concerns. It was his easy-going manner and friendliness (his personality in general) that she loved him for. But now it was all changing. Life was like this and it was complicated, to say the least. Cassandra sighed, took what she had philosophically, and decided she would talk to him in the morning.

2. Ours by Taylor Swift
GilanxJenny

Things were always getting in the way. Missions to go save people here and there, hungry customers, and every other worry piled on top of that. Right now, she was waiting for him to come as she watched over the kitchen, whacking yet another careless apprentice over the head with her infamous wooden spatula. People disapproved, a Ranger with an orphan chef, but Gilan didn't care. He was riding his way through the pouring rain and thunderstorm just to see her. Townsfolk would think what they would think, judge what they would judge, and nothing could be done to stop it. So what? She loved him, he loved her back, and nothing else mattered. This love is ours, Jenny thought. A certain tall Ranger walked in, along with a freezing gust of wind and some angry glances from customers, but Jenny's outlook on life brightened.

One thing about this part…Sarah is this creepy Will-stalker that originates from Bralt's story Ranger Rules. She so kindly let me use her, as she is perfect for this part. I give her full credit (as metioned before) :)

3. Paparazzi by Lady Gaga

Sarah hid behind a weathered oak tree and peered around. Will! She went into stalker mode, creeping around the trail. Edging behind the slim (and vertically challenged) Ranger, she unsuccessfully tried to be unnoticed by Will. Still, she would stop at nothing to be able to call him hers. Even if it meant giving away her position. Sarah darted back to the tree line, her raven hair flying in her wake. Satisfied she wouldn't be caught, she sighed romantically. Their future life together would be fantastical! Without that pesky Alyss, they would live in a huge castle, just for them. They would live overlooking the sea and watch the sunset everyday together, she thought.

Hearing this, Will's hand flashed to his saxe, waiting for the attacker. When none came, he threw it instinctively to the source. It thudded into Sarah's heart. A perfect shot. The less-than-average girl slumped on the ground, deceased from this world.

Oh good, Will cheered inside his head. It was that weird stalker girl from the inn! Pulling his saxe from her corpse and cleaning it on her black dress, he walked back to his cottage in silence. Hopefully she wouldn't come back like before…

A while later…

A pale, shaking hand reached up to brush long raven hair behind one ear, ever so slowly. Staggering up in a bloodstained dress, she followed the path home, wanting sweet revenge.

I kinda like that idea, Rangers vs. zombies :)

4. Haunted by Taylor Swift
WillxAlyss

Alyss was distraught, to put it simply. It had been going so well, then it happened. It hit them like a wave about to overcome a ship, with no way out or to save yourself. Either way, you'd drown. It was the big fight that tore them apart. Will had gone off in the midst of this confusion, and there was no time to sort things out rationally. He had left her, abandoned her, without even a good bye. The mission had not gone well. He was all she ever wanted. And now he was gone forever. His eyes, his hair, his smile, everything about him. All sealed in that evil, menacing tomb for eternity.

She sobbed uncontrollably, and could not help but feel the haunting pangs of sadness that gripped her heart. Gone. And she knew this would go on until the day she died. Guilt, anger, sadness, and every other depressing emotion, all mixed in one overwhelming concoction swirled around inside her. Gone.

5. Campfire Song Song from Spongebob (this was incredibly random)

"Halt, can we sing a campfire song?" Gilan asked innocently. He knew he wouldn't like it, but wasn't that the fun of it? Will grinned, sitting on a tree stump huddled near the fire, sipping coffee from a beaten mug that was definitely near its expiration (or is it retirement?) date.

"Yeah, I like singing! Let's sing Graybeard Halt!" Will agreed enthusiastically.

"More like whitebeard Halt by the end of the night," Halt muttered.

"Let's sing the Ranger anthem, then," Will suggested eagerly.

"No, that's not happy enough," Gilan shook his head.

"How about that song with those words and the…words with the words and the stuff and whatnot?" Will asked. Halt and Gilan just shook their heads at his vagueness, not feeling like replying.

"How about that song from that play we saw last week?" Halt interjected.

"What play?" They asked. Halt sighed and then poured himself some more coffee. This was going to be a long night.

Like them? Hate them? Love them? I want reviews and feedback, people! Tell me if you want to me to write a whole story off of one of these…I think I will do some more of these!
