“C’mon, babe, it’ll be fun!” Dee said, not above bringing out the pleading puppy dog eyes in an effort to get his way. “Everybody needs a little bit of magic in their lives now and then.”


“But it’s not magic, is it? Magic isn’t real; it’s all illusion and sleight of hand. Nobody really gets sawn in half, things don’t disappear and reappear; it’s nothing more than trickery.”


For someone who seemed to be a daydreamer, Ryo was more down to earth than anyone Dee had ever met, only believing what he could prove. It was a bit disappointing, if he was honest.


“So what if it’s not real? Would ya really want to see someone sawn in half, or havin’ a bunch of swords stuck through ‘em? What matters is it’s fun to watch a really skilled magician. Only kids believe it’s all real; everyone else just wants to be entertained, enjoy the illusions, and maybe feel that sense of wonder we lost as we grew up. Where’s the harm in that? Can’t you just take a break from bein’ so serious all the time? The kids’ll love it.”


Ryo sighed. “Fine, we’ll go to the magic show.”


“Woohoo!”

Cute! I've missed your stories.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

Well, if you have a spare moment there's plenty to catch up on, lol! I'm still posting at least two pieces every day. Sometimes I wonder how I do it...

I do miss your Buffy drabble community though.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to run one right now, and I doubt I'll be getting back on LJ. There are . . . certain people I'm loathe to become involved with again, sadly not just in person. Wanda turned quite a number of people against J and me. She almost caused us to end, and we're still facing her in court because she shot herself and is trying to frame us for the shooting. So . . . yeah . . . it's been real fucking fun. Lost the furkids too. I had to take them off because she was beatinge them, was going to get myself out, and then she shot herself before I could succeed in doing so.

J and I are back together, and that and Jesus are the only saving graces in my life. Everything else is f---ed major. I've lost family. I've lost friends. I was homeless for a while. But I've got the love of my life back and God, and somehow everything's going to work out right.

Sorry to hear you're without heat. We do at least have a couple of electric heaters. But we've been without hot water since we moved into this place.

*hugs tight* You two have been though the mill, but keep your faith and hold tight to what you've got and you will get through it. I'll keep you in my prayers.

No not water sucks, hope that can be sorted out for you before too long. I've got heat again and the house has just about warmed back up.

Hang in there!

I'm so glad you have heat again and are happy to see me back and still being supportive of J and I. :) Thank you.

No hot water sucks, but I can deal with it a lot easier than I can no heat. *hugs*

[badly_knitted]

Always! I've got your backs, even if I'm on the other side of the world.

Yeah, at least you can boil a kettle for hot water. I do that in summer when the heat's turned off.
