Respect for a Dream
Mar. 19th, 2005 05:11 pmUgh, lameness ahead. One thing I know I can be confident about is that this is a truly rare pairing.
Title: Respect for a Dream
Rating: PG (Just to be safe. Yeah, this is way tame.)
Word Count: 300
Pairing: (Guess who.) (This can also be seen as pseudo-friendship, or not.)

“You may laugh at me, but I believe that the human spirit is more than able to accomplish the impossible. I am living proof of that. With enough inspiration and motivation, anything is possible. Even your dream of finding that thing, place, whatever, is possible. That's why I've decided to become a doctor, because I've found the true cure for all the ills of this world.”
“What was your former occupation, again?”
“I used to be a thief.”
“Used to be, huh. And what do you call a man who tried to steal food from a pirate ship just a few hours ago?”
“A man who knows that life is precious and takes priority over such things as common-courtesy, survival of the fittest, and arbitrary ideas of fairness. A man like you.”
“You're pushing it on the blatant flattery. Of yourself, that is.”
“Come on, we've discussed our personal dreams and goals with each other. There must be some commonality between us that led to that talk. I highly respect that dream of yours, by the way.”
“Captain, we're nearing the island!”
“Finally, I can now get rid of the thief.”
“Do you have to be so nasty about it? Anyway, thanks for the ride and meal, Captain! And I hope you find, uh, Hall Flu.”
“…you have 3 seconds to get the name right or you're getting off this ship NOW. 1.”
“But we're not even near port!”
“2.”
“I got it! It's Whole Pool! Right? Where every kind of water is together or something?”
*punt*
Two days later a man was found half frozen on top of one of the tallest trees in Drum. The man survived and vocally owed it to his drinking of his patented medicinal elixir of booze mixed with frog eggs and toenail clippings.
