So, I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing, but all the plots and thing I've done so far suck, and then I remembered this thing and realized this would probably be a good time to update it.

Sorry its been so long sense I've updated, school got really hard about half way through, and with band rehersals and things on top of school work, it was intense. Also, right in the beginning of summer, family emergency happened so that's why I didn't start updating everything right at the beginning of the summer as promised. I took a few days off when I got back, and now I'm ready to write. I cant make promises on updates though, sense I have quite a few stories now (in multiple fandoms) as well as some original work I'm working on, but I'll try to do the best that I can.

Without further adu, here's the prompt and I hope you enjoy. Again, sorry about the time lapse.

Prompt: Imagine your OTP in a gift shop or something of the like, possibly before they become a couple. Person A spots a mood ring, and just for giggles, they slip it on their finger. It changes to the color indicating "in love". Person B begins to question or tease them about it, but A brushes it off, replying that it's just a toy and doesn't mean anything. What happens next is up to you.

"You know this is just a tourist trap right?" I was following the brunette geek into one of many ocean themed tourist attractions. This entire block was a PSA and a money sucker for the government all in one. Because what says 'Save the Ocean!' like a queue of gift shops to waste your money on?

"Come on Noah, it'll be fun. Trust me."

"Whatever. The only reason I'm still here is because my mom told me I had to get out of the house." My library card had been threatened. I had no choice. Besides, I'd been meaning to talk to Cody again at some point, eventually. He'd been the only person on that island that I could actually stand.

"Sure it is. Ooh! This looks cool." He'd stopped in front of a store with a bunch useless looking trinkets in the window. I sighed as I followed him inside.

And inside, were even more useless trinkets. Stuffed animals to small for even a child to cuddle at night, plastic bracelets you'll probably never wear again, and fake silver necklaces with your name on it, that will probably tarnish in all the water around here. And everything is priced $10 more than its worth.

"Look at this!" I turned to see Cody looking at the stuffed animals. Typical. The one he was currently looking at was a dolphin that was just a little to big to sit on his hand.

"Seriously?" Seeing all I had was criticism, he chose to ignore me in favor of his new found toy. Great, by the end of this he wont be able to carry all the trash he buys. Whatever, as long as he doesn't make me carry it.

Sense I live a ways from where he does, Cody wanted to show me some fun local things to do. I didn't think he was going to take me to this place. It's a waste of money and a waste of time in my book.

I looked over at the counter to see if there were any functional little knick knacks I could buy to convince Cody that I didn't need to go in more shops and look for more things. Amidst my search, I found a bucket full of mood rings. There's something to laugh at. Another way to trick humans into wasting money on something they think they need, when they really don't.

I picked one out and put it on, waiting to scoff at it for its inaccuracy. Cody walked over to the desk with the dolphin he'd fallen in love with earlier. Probably on his way to purchase the thing.

"Ooh! I didn't know they had mood rings here!" He pulled out his own from the bucket. I shook my head in disbelief.

"Cody, these things are a joke. They don't actually work. See?" The ring on my finger had currently turned red with pink blotches. The pink blotches were starting to take over the thing. Cody picked out a card and began scanning it for the interpretation of the rings diagnosis.

"Lets see, pink means, in love!" He started snickering.

"See! I told you. Inaccurate. I am most certainly not in love with anyone or anything here. The whole thing is a joke."

"Sure it is." Cody set his dolphin and a ring on the counter and asked the cashier to check him out. I rolled my eyes at him before setting the ring down. It had said red before Cody walked over, which I would assume means anger, which I suppose for the moment in time would have been correct. So the ring was not only implying that I'm in love, but implying that I'm in love with Cody. As if!

But I still couldn't help but wonder, the ring had surprisingly been right previously. Could it mean something?

"Alright, I'm ready to go! Where to next?" And that moment, seeing the excitement in his eyes, the admittingly adorably gap in his teeth, I knew I was screwed.

"Um, how about there?" I pointed at some shop down the way. I don't even know what I picked. All I could think about was Cody, and that god damned ring.

And there you guys go! The ending turned out much better than I expected, so I hope you guys liked it as well. Don't forget to Follow the story and leave me a review telling me what you liked, what you hated, anything to help me improve because I do read the reviews and I would love to hear what you guys think. Also if you have any OTP prompts in particular that you'd like to see me use, leave that in the review as well. See you guys next chapter!
