drove a thousand miles and played a show on no sleep

First things first! It is November, and thus time for NaNoWriMo. I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing, so if anyone's still here, give me a fandom, character or pairing, and three words. I might write a sentence, I might write a paragraph, or I might find a picture or gif that's appropriate. Yes? OK

Brad/Walt - fishing vs surfing?

Or whatever (gen or otherwise) based on this photo of Paul Martin sewing. http://puckling.tumblr.com/post/65705104017/nebulia13-puckyouintheglass-he-cooks-he

Brad doesn't see the point of the kind of fishing that Walt normally likes to do. He went fishing with Walt and his dad when they visited him during leave, and he's never doing that again. No waves, nothing happening, just sitting with the lines out. Just, no.

Walt, on the other hand, has tried surfing, both before and after he got together with Brad. It's just not happening. He got through BRC, he got through a half-dozen specialty courses, but he cannot keep his balance on a waxed board, and he's better in the water when he means to be in the water.

The only time they actually fish together is when Brad books a vacation in Baja, and they go deep sea fishing. There are a bunch of people on the boat, and there's always something happening, and it's a day out on the water in the sun. They both agree they'd do it again. (Walt isn't surfing; he doesn't care how gorgeous the private beach is. Have you SEEN the Discovery Channel specials about the sharks that spawn in the Sea of Cortez?)

Love it! :)

Every time I look at that picture of Paul Martin at the sewing machine, I imagine a Cinderella-type story, where Paulie could be SO GOOD at hockey, if only he weren't forced to work full-time as an equipment manager. What is WRONG with my brain?

Is Neal the Prince in that or is he the wicked stepbrother who makes Paul cook? Are the Pens the mice? Oh, I'm seeing them in the form of those goofy penguin cartoons I saw somewhere (Crosby, Malkin, Neal).

I hadn't gotten as far as a prince, was mostly thinking about Beau Bennett and Bortuzzo and Olli Maatta as the mouse equivalents. But Crosby, Malkin, and Neal could be mice too!

Would Dan Bylsma or Mario LeMieux be the fairy godfather?

Um, I 1000% approve of this and think you should tell me more.

I know the picture you're talking about - the one that's the cover from Happy Feet but with hockey helmets and jersey numbers, lol, it's on my phone - but now I'm trying to figure out who from the Pens would be which of the penguins from madagascar.
