Twice Upon a Time
Digging up five-years-old drabbles... Maybe they should come with an expiry date.
TAKE ONE
"It's all your fault!"
Motoki took a step back from his raging best friend.
"If it wasn't for your meddling, I'd be standing in front of the altar right now! I'd be. Getting. Married. But no, you had to ruin everything!" The last word was punctuated with a punch that made a picture fall trom the wall, the glass shattering. Motoki gulped, his future seeming rather glassy as well. Movement was heard from the doorway.
"What?!" Mamoru snapped sending the newcomer a death glare. Reika shuddered.
"Mamoru, the ceremony will be postponed only by fifteen minutes..."
TAKE TWO
"Are!"
"Am not!"
"Are, are, are!"
"One last time, I am not late, Usa!"
She stuck her wrist under his nose "It's ten past four. Ha! What do you have to say to that, mister Always-On-Time?" the girl asked with glee.
"Well..." he took a deep breath. If it was his reputation or his life, the choice was clear.... "Isetyourwatchtenminutesforwardslastweek."
"Hm?" She knitted her eyebrows, trying to catch the key words. Set... Ten... Forwards... Her eyes narrowed. Last week!!! "What?!"
Mamoru shrank visibly. Time to rethink priorities.
