AN: Despite my dislike for this holiday (too much pink!), I tried to put at least a mention of hearts in every drabble. Lots of hearts. 3333 Happy Valentine's Day!
Same thing with the star (*) as last chapter. Good song, even if the drabble is crappy. Highly recommended.
I had to skip the version of our marching band show's closer that I used to practice flagwork to during marching season. Oops. It was good to listen to again, though. Gotta love that Psycho music. No, really, part of our show had music from the horror movie Psycho.
I kinda had to go over the time limit for most of them. *Shrug* I tried to not do as many Carrot/Angua ones in this one cause I focused on them a lot in the last chapters. . . but I failed. ;D
And now, on with the second chapter.
Favorite: "Would You Go With Me?"
Least Favorite: "Everyday America"
1. "Would You Go With Me?" by Josh Turner*
She would trust him with her life. She had trusted him with her life.
Still, this was different. This was big. This was perhaps even more terrifying.
This was her heart.
She knew he would never hurt her own purpose. But the she knew that the accidental hurts are the ones that leave the biggest scars.
Her heart had been carefully guarded for years. Through many cities and years, she had been keeping it under lock and key.
So as she looked at the red haired man before her, she desperately wished that he hadn't trusted her with his.
2. "Sooner or Later" by Michelle Branch
Standing up to her adoptive father had been one of the hardest thing Ysabell had ever done. At the time she didn't even know why she did it. She had a feeling it had something to do with the skinny boy in front of her.
No. Not a boy anymore. He was a different creature than when he first came to Death's domain.
She had a feeling it also had something to with beating, blood-pumping organ inside her.
She thought, later, how ironic it was that one of the main life giving organs inside her had pulled her away from Death and his domain.
3. "Everyday America" by Sugarland
Sally liked rainy days. It meant she didn't always have to wear long sleeves.
She also liked it because it reminded her of the good old days up in Uberwald. Lightning, Igors, castles. . . Those were good times.
Coming to Ankh-Morpork had been one of the best things to happen to her, though. She had things here she never would have had in Uberwald.
Her heart would have skipped a beat out of happiness had it still been beating when she realized for the first time that here, she actually had friends.
4. "I'm On My Way" by Kellie Pickler
The Sergeant wasn't easy to like. She was stubborn, moody at best, and really just didn't appreciate the true meaning of fashion.
She was a vegetarian werewolf, a surprisingly good copper, and loyal to the end. Most of the time, anyway.
She had worked hard to be where she was, and after speaking with her for more than ten minutes, one could tell that she bears her share of scars on her heart.
She may not be easy to like, but she is easy to admire.
5. "Stay Beautiful" by Taylor Swift*
Angua had been planning on leaving for a while. She kept planning on leaving the next. And then she didn't. So she puts it off for another day. And then another. And then another. Soon she doesn't have the heart to keep planning on leaving.
She decided that she didn't want to break his heart. Then she decided she didn't want to break hers.
6. "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor
No one would ever know just how hard the Music With Rocks In hit the Unseen University. Except the wizards themselves, of course.
Wizards were always ones for flashy, showy, impressive, and over the top effects. They made the perfect Music With Rocks In stars.
Really, it was in every wizards heart. The love for loud explosions and smoke.
Maybe that was why they're the only ones with a small inkling of what happened.
7. "So What" by P!nk*
Sally was taught to be independent. She ignored those teachings, along with just about everything else.
Still, occasionally those lessons came in handy. She never thought she would have to know how to unstick a dwarf from a drain. She never thought she would need to know how to calculate how many scum bags she could throw across a room before backup could get there.
By far the most useful skill she had found was how to keep her heart intact after blow after blow.
Kick butt. Rub it in face. Kick more butt.
That she had learned from Sergeant Angua.
You never knew what could happen in the Watch.
8. "Crazier" by Taylor Swift*
Adora Bell Dearheart had never let anything happen to her. She either made it happen, or scared it away.
For someone reason though, she was letting this happen. She was letting the guy with the golden suit come in. She let him offer to help him. She let him save her father's company.
She let her mom believe they were, for lack of a better word, courting.
She let her heart get to her.
9. "Our Time Now" by Plain White Tees
Time was a funny thing, Susan thought. It heals all wounds. It made the heart grow fonder.
Time was surprisingly flexible for something that waits for no man.
But as she listened to Lobsang's voice come out of the cupboard, she thought maybe he would stop for a woman.
It really does make the heart grow fonder. Or was that absence? Or distance?
Susan decided she didn't really care.
10. "The More I Love My Dog" by Carrie Underwood*
Biers had a strange crowd this night of the year. Stranger than usual. And that was saying something.
Valentowet's Day always brought in a large number of the undead. Not many undead really liked Valentowet's Day. It was just another day out of another year in a long life.
This year, the crowd was missing someone. She hadn't lived in the city until recently, but she was, for some reason, always there on Valentowet's Day.
For once, Sergeant Angua wasn't hating this day of hearts.
She still hated the flowers, though. They made the city stink more than they usually did. And that truly was saying something.
Angua noted that the flowers sitting in a vase on her desk had an odor even she could barely detect.
