claws... {shakes head, pressing lips} Did ya *hafta* mention *claws*? I mean, *Momo* might (not!) need a Clue Trout, but trust me, I *don't*... and I definitely didn't need to have the--LOVELY--image of Ryoma and claws and Momo and... {sighs}
Ya know, they *DO* make such a gosh darn *cute* couple, don't they?
And since it appears that I'm not goin to be going to bed just yet...
Kachirou-- now, I'm really trying to get the two freshman straight. Really I am. One's Kato, right? and the other's Kachirou? Or are Kachirou and Kato the same one? I *thought* Kato was the little one with the vidcam who got socked in the eye by Kaidoh's Snake early on in the show (Dad works at the counry club?). *HE's* the one who always struck me as the up-and-coming Oishi.
I mean, I'm sure the others have seen that parrallell between Tezuka-Osihi and Ryoma-Kato.
I just love how you write the short, seemingly simple snippets of the boys without getting caught up in huge scenes. That was one of the traits I used to dislike about my own writings ^__^ I'd always spend so much time and space on scenic details that would drag down the plot of a story. I love that your stories all read so free flowing from one point in time to the next is a smooth time jump so that the passage of time isn't a painful process.
And, of course, I'm enjoying your characterization of the characters (remind me to remind Mari to read these two--Momo and Ryoma are her favorite pairing right now, and I probably won't get to talk to her before I get home on Sunday. Since I'm already forcing her to read "Challenge" before reading the other Mirror stories, I should be nice and let her read a pairing she really likes and knows right now, too, ne? ^___^ Yes, I'm a very good best friend. ^___________^ }
I loved the reflection on Momo and Ryoma not being able to play doubles despite--because of--them knowing each other so well, and yet the other kid *can* play doubles with Echizen, and you pointed out why, too. Great job.
and what else hit me.... oh! yes! The doubles strut! and the regulars replacement (and yes, I know this is blending into the previous story. sorry. I'm bad about these things, I know >.<) and the bet.
YOu know, I didn't have a problem understanding the Inui-Fuji moment. {Grins} gods, I love fuji. Moving on.
My gods! What are they going to do when the regulars graduate??? {Grins} Doesn't Kaidoh say somewhere that the other juniors are idiots (or was he just refering to Momo... I thought he was talking about Arui, but I could be very mistaken)...
Still...not only are they loosing five fabulous players, they're loosing all their really strong doubles. I mean, I know that's why it was so important to pair up Kaidoh and Momo in the Rikkaidai match--to prove that they *can* do it... and so, natuarlly, they're gonna be shoved into a doubles game to save the club from having nothing left, but... that doesn't change the fact that both Kaidoh and Momo are singles players at heart, not doubles... The two freshmen look like they're the perfect set-up replacement for the GP, which leaves Arui's two friends as a possible alt doubles and Arui free for the team backup, but...
{blinks} but I suddenly lost my train of thought and yet managed to remember my backside is supposed to be dressed and in the car by 8am tomorrow... hmm... another five hours of sleep night if I'm lucky. yeah... I should go now...
