'Wishes read a book about Fifty-Five Word Fiction in "The World's Shortest Stories", edited by Steve Moss (Running Press, Philadelphia, 1998). She asked XWP fans if they would like to try their hand at writing 55-word stories that include their favorite characters and plot. Their answer can be found in The World's Shortest XWP Fan Fiction.
"It's fun and interesting to see how different people deal with the tight word limit.... telling a story in different ways and with style." - Wishes.'

"Here, in part 2 you will find the folks who have decided to pick up the torch independently and give you their own inspirations. This Chapter of "The World's Shortest XWP Fan Fiction is open to all bards willing to take up the quill and parchment and leave their words for all to gaze upon." - ForevaXena

Here is my own contribution to this project. Those who know me will have recognized the two other protagonists (who will forgive me one day, I hope) of this completely fictive story.

A Kiss
by Cat, July 28th, 2000

Cat      :   "I love this show! Tragedy, comedy... it has everything!"
Fausta :   "Everything but subtext, Cat!"
John    :   "Mom, Xena is kissing Gabby!"
Cat      :   "John, stop shouting!"
John    :   "But, mom..."
Fausta :   "A kiss, did he say they kissed?"
Cat      :   "Yeah, just like you he loves imagining things!"
Fausta :   "Duh?!?"
Cat      :   "Well, who believes goldfishes really do kiss?"

Here is another of my contributions to this project.

The Avengers
by Cat, May 11th, 2001

"Really I don't understand, Cyrene. I woke up this morning to find a bunch of fishes near my blanket with a note saying 'Gabrielle, we're needed'. Then when I ask her where, she answers we have to see 'Mother' and leaves! And now that we're here, she is looking for someone or something called Champagne?"

Argument
by Claire Withercross

Xena looked over at Gabrielle.

"Will you stop that!" she commanded.

"Stop what?" replied Gabrielle innocently.

"That!"

"What?"

"Making that noise."

"What noise?"

"That noise!"

"What? This noise?"

"No. The other one."

"This one?"

"Yes!" cried the warrior.

"Oh! Sorry," said Gabrielle, and had the decency to look embarrassed.

You
by Claire Withercross

The sun touched the horizon ahead of the travellers.

"Beautiful, isn’t it?"

"No," replied Xena without interest.

"That's so like you," Gabrielle sighed, "I’m not surprised you can't appreciate the beauty of nature."

"Sunsets are ordinary," said Xena. "They happen everyday. You on the other hand are unique. You are beautiful."

Disclaimer: Xena and Gabrielle belong to their creators at Ren Pic. I'm only borrowing them to use in my imagination. I promise to return them only a bit worse for wear (tired but happy).
Type: Humor
Sex: None (For a change!)
Violence: None
Ick Factor: None

"Don't DO That To Me!"
by Caley Woulfe

Xena and Gabrielle set up camp. Xena went hunting and when she returned, Gabrielle was preparing some veggies she had gathered.

As Xena plucked the wild fowl, she heard sniffling.

"Gabrielle?" The Bard lifted a face streaming with tears. Xena was at her side in an instant.

"Sweetheart? What's the matter!" "Nothing, I'm chopping onions."

Waltz
by Lead Fox

"No!" shouted the warrior, pounding her bleeding knuckles into the wall. She turned around to meet the soft green eyes of her equally condemned lover. Gabrielle could read it in Xena’s face: there was no way out for them this time.

"What now?" The water was touching her feet now.

Xena smiled. "Want to dance?"

by R. G. Heller

Stomp, stomp, clap.
Stomp, stomp, clap.
"What are you doing?"
"What?"
"What are you clapping for?"
"What are you stompin' for?'
Clap, stomp, stomp.
Clap, stomp, stomp.
"No, the other way's better. Start stompin' again."
Stomp, stomp, clap.
Stomp, stomp, clap.
"Hmm, yeah that's good."
Stomp, stomp, clap.
"Everybody, we will, we will rock you..."

Ass umptions
by Gabby Bard

"What do you think he meant by that?"

"How should I know?"

"You're supposed to have many skills. Figure it out."

"I don't think he was hiding any subliminal messages, Gabrielle."

"Xena, he said my ass was too big."

"Well, you've got to admit, it is pretty big." Xena grinned, patting the donkey in tow.

Between A Rock And Ares
by Gabby Bard

"I hate this."

"Why sugar-coat things? Tell me how you really feel."

"Shut up. This is all your fault, anyway."

"Come on, Gabrielle. So, what if you're stuck in a cave with me? You could have worse company."

"Ares, I've always wondered, does it hurt your back to kiss your own ass like that?"
