Skins Bang Drabble Tag

[miss_peg]

Hello!

So I noticed this place hasn't really been kick started yet and I don't know if that's just because it's technically not all beginning, but I hope nobody minds me beginning a game of drabble tag, which I did suggest in the opening post. Don't know how to play? Keep reading!

Welcome to Skins Bang Drabble Tag!

I’m sure many of you will understand

Prompt 1: "Do as I say, not as I do"

[reddawg82]

You're Cook, James Fucking Cook. You've been shagging birds since the age of thirteen, and got your first blow job at the age of eleven (from some hottie 14 year old). So why... why is it that all of a sudden your dad has decided to try to step in and be a father, after what... 13 years? You can't decide if you should listen to a word that he says, after all, you are his mirror image.
He fucked around on your mum, so isn't it a bit hypocritical of him to tell you, "Do as I say, not as I do?" You laughed at him, loud and boisterous, because that's how you do it. There's always a laugh to be had, even if it is at the expense of your dad.

I love this. Cook and Cook Snr, so true rather. Why would Cook Snr do anything he's supposed to? Least of all be a father and when he is...well, you've certainly got the point across that he'd be a hypocrite. Vile man, haha. Good job for your first drabble, Red, thanks for joining drabble tag! :D

[reddawg82]

Well, you know... I thought I'd give it a go. I wanted to try writing different than I do usually, so it was nice to try that out as well.

Prompt 2: "Emptiness is filling me to the point of agony"

[tromana]

Mini doesn’t want to turn into her mother.

When she was younger, her Mum always said that she was ‘just like her’. Still does, sometimes. Mini hates that. She wants her own identity, to make her own mistakes and learn from them herself.

She doesn’t want to tread the same paths as her Mum. End up washed up, useless, stuck with a teenage daughter and always on the lookout for the next easy shag, yet proclaiming the opposite.

That life seems so empty, so pointless. Like a life dressed in pain and little else.

Mostly, Mini just wants to escape.

[miss_peg]

So glad you started this off (since you know the game!) and a lovely little piece here! Hopefully the start of things to come from your Big Bang! :D

[tromana]

No problem. I'm a sucker for drabble tags/fic memes etc and you know it!

Sending you half of ch1 tonight....!

Never turn down tea, that's how wars get started

[miss_peg]

The mug of tea sat in front of her. She drank it, not because she needed a drink, but because when Gina placed tea on the table, that was what you did. You drank, you talked and the weight of the world disappeared into the tea leaves.

Gina only made tea with tea leaves. That itself made Naomi want to shout and scream. But really, the anger and frustration was not about her mother and the unusual way of serving tea. It was the fact that, had she been able to do this sooner, perhaps the war would not have begun.

[tromana]

(must unite the tea lovers)

I loved the way you tied the tea quote into the drabble. And you were being too hard on yourself on MS of N. It's been ages since we last drabbled properly.

Guess this is the closest we're getting to Jane, Gina and the Doctor together for now, huh? :p

[miss_peg]

That it is! Thanks :) I honestly do believe that tea and a chat with Gina would make the world feel better. Naomi didn't get that, so it all went tits up.

She went to Paris
Can you believe it?
She just woke up and fucked off to Paris
I didn't think she'd go

Since you're on a Mini-kick, I thought I'd hit you with some Mini-fied drabble of my own:

xxxxx

How could I have known she's just up and leave, fuck off to some other country? Sure, I was a bit of a bitch to her. She had 'new girl' written all over her, and her style of dress didn't help her one bit. I'm not sure why she even decided to come here anyway. She stick out like a sore thumb, like a yellow balloon in a sea of red ones. That girl just doesn't belong here.
I miss her, though I wouldn't admit that to anyone. Liv teases me that I have some kind of girl crush on her. In all honesty, she can fuck right off too, her and Nick... wanker.
Frankie, how could I know that I'd push her far enough to leave. I should have done something, changed, anything. She's gone now. Her phone's off and without any other option of contact I have to just sit here and wait, and hope she comes back.

[tromana]

I'm impressed! I find it amazing considering you've only read info on the characters rather than actually watched it just yet. I think you've nailed what I perceive as the push-pull relationship of Franky and Mini: can't live with each other, can't live without.

*grins*

It's amazing how much you learn about the actual series through fanfic! LOL!

Hopefully I helped your Mini-cravings along!

[reddawg82]

He offered me money.

To silence me.

It wasn't my fault that girl took drugs and decided to jump off the balcony to commit suicide whilst I was in charge of the club!

Now I stand here with an envelope full of notes, staring down at it. Do I take the money and turn him in for letting drugs and underage kids into the club?

He's a criminal after all, not me, and he gets paid... and now I'm being paid... off.

It makes me realize that if money wasn't involved in crime, there would be no need for it.

Ooh! You got Thommo in there eventually! Good job, poor Thomas!
