Pick-Me-Up! Drabble Prompt Post

[skuzzbopper]

So, I was chatting with dragonyphoenix about how we're both feeling rather morose lately. And we both kind of sighed at our lack of ability to write when dealing with a nasty bout of the blues. But-- I came up with an idea to help:

IMMA WRITE FIVE, KAY? KAY.

[emelye_miller]

Prompt: Rainbow

1. The Trapper Keeper was Willow's, originally. It was purple and covered in rainbows with the kind of intensity only Lisa Frank could manage. It was breathtaking.

It was bequeathed to Xander in eighth grade. He couldn’t carry it around school without being called a fag, but those stupid rainbows made him so damned happy he couldn't bear to part with it. Every time he looked at it felt like one of Willow's hugs. Like family that didn't throw you down a flight of stairs because they were too drunk to notice the basement door was open when they hit you

THANK YOU! We can all do with a pick-me-up now and then. I just can't believe you mentioned Lisa Frank. That was, like, everything I owned as a kid. <33 I was so girly.

My prompt, should someone choose to accept it, is Oboe.

The Punk Duck Machine (Five for Five)

[skuzzbopper]

1) In the fifth grade, Jesse and Xander discovered a way to permanently, and legally, skip gym: music class. The school allowed gym and music to be held at the same time, and any student who was musically inclined could fill out a nice pink form and get immediate, total absolution from dodgeball and running laps. Awesome. All you had to do was pick an instrument. And since Jesse's parents could afford it and Xander's (well, Xander) could not, Jesse got a brand new, gleaming chick magnet-- a guitar-- and Xander was stuck with whatever they had in the spare closet
