Some Pig

“Oh, Hank, look it’s that pig everyone’s been talking about!” Joyce cried, her voice full of excitement. Her round belly nudged against the gate as she looked at it. “Zuckerman’s famous pig. He’s so cute, Hank.”
“He’s a pig, Joyce. He’s not supposed to be cute.”
“Oh, stop it.” She scolded him as she stared up at the web. “He looks so sad, doesn’t he, Hank?”
“I can’t tell.” Hank sighed, wrapping an arm around his wife still not understanding her fascination with the pig. “C’mon. Bet I can win you that stuffed pig.”
“For the baby?”
“Sure, why not.”

Notes: Never underestimate anything.

Terrific

“Ok, so why are we here again?” Xander asked for the millionth time.
“There’s a pig. There’s a spider. The spider is spelling out weird things in it’s web making it a household name.” Dawn sighed, making her way across the fairgrounds.
“Wait, a spider is spelling out weird things in it’s web? Like what?”
“Some Pig, Radiant - things that make the pig look good.”
“And we’re thinking demon spider?”
“That, or demon pig.” Dawn stopped in front the pen, where a big fat pink pig sat. He didn’t look like a demon. “Or not.”
“Definitely the spider then.”

Not Grove Born

Fandom: Heralds of Valdemar series
Challenge: #001 animal husbandry
Notes: Continuation (sort of) of A New Perspective with the Companion Tara.

Not Grove Born

“There are differences between Grove Born Companions and normal companions, aren’t there Tara?” Her young Herald asked as she braided Tara’s mane.
:Grove Born Companions are much rarer, and just appear out of the Companions Grove: Tara said through mindspeech.
“Tara! That’s not an answer.”
:Grove Born are special. I can’t really say why. Most Grove born are the King’s or Queen’s Own Companions, like Herald Talia’s Roland. They provide guidance from the Goddess: Tara hesitated. :The elders say that the other Companions are the reincarnation of Heralds, while the Grove Born are purer spirits:
“Were you a Herald?”
:No.:

The Great Valley Question

“What is that weird looking thing?” Cera said, rudely gesturing at the strange yellow headed creature with pale scales.
“That is not very nice, Cera. Nope, Nope, Nope.” Ducky said, peering at it from behind Spike. “What do you think it is, Littlefoot?”
“I don’t know, but it can’t be as dangerous as a Sharptooth.” Littlefoot said bravely.
“Hello, talking dinosaur children. My name is Anya. I’m a Vengeance Demon.” She squinted. “Are any of you female? Possibly scorned?”
“Did it try to talk?” Cera asked.
“I don’t know.” Littlefoot replied.
“Of course, I land in the dimension time forgot.”

Very cute, I liked the two Charlotte’s Web ones the best

[jbeaners48.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm glad you liked them - the first two were much easier to write than the last two.

LOVE the Valdemar one!! You made it sound like a continuation of an earlier work?? Link please?

Tara as a Companion is brilliant! And she has to be more useful than Elspeth's...er, what was her name? I just remember her being all full of herself until she finally admitted that there is a lot Grove-Born companions don't know. :)

Thanks. Yes, it is, here's the link http://www.livejournal.com/community/tthdrabbles/35467.html#cutid5

Elspeth's Gwena. She was, but then so was Elspeth when she was younger. I was afraid the story wouldn't make sense, because I hadn't read any of the older books in a while and have been trying to finish Storm Breaking for the last two years. (which is why the herald has no name)
