Don't Take the Girl

Author's Notes


this fic is based on a song by tim mcgraw, "don't take the girl." i've always loved this song and i was listening to it the other day and thought that it would make an awesome fic. of course, i wrote it about fuu and ferio. :3

you might wonder why none of the problems were resolved in this fic. that's because that's how the song goes! did fuu get to go fishing with them? how did they get out of the scrape with that icky guy? did fuu live or die in childbirth? we'll never know.

here are the lyrics to the song. it's country, yes, but it really is a very moving song.



johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
when he was eight years old
a little girl came through the front gate
holding a fishing pole
his dad looked down and smiled
said, "we can't leave her behind
son, i know you don't want her to go
but someday you'll change your mind"
and johnny said,

"take tommy thompson
take jimmy johnson
take my best friend bo
take anybody that you want as
long as she don't go
take any boy in the world
daddy please don't take the girl"

same ol' boy, same sweet girl
ten years down the road
he held her tight and kissed her lips in
front of the picture show
stranger came and pulled a gun
grabbed her by the arm
said, "if you do what i tell you to there
won't be any harm"
and johnny said,

"take my money
take my wallet
take my credit cards
here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
here's the key to my car
mister give it a whirl
just please don't take the girl"

same ol' boy, same sweet girl
five years down the road
there's gonna be a little one and she
says it's time to go
doctor says, "the baby's fine
but you'll have to leave
cause his momma's fading fast" and
johnny hit his knees
and then he prayed,

"take the very breath you gave me
take the heart from my chest
i'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
make this my last request
take me out of this world
god please don't take the girl"
