eirenical*drumroll*
Thank you. *coughs* I'm getting back into the swing of things and have started working on ARBAON again. ^_^ I warn you, I've been up since 7 AM and have been productive. And so, I give you word counts and, in honor of passing 40,000 words, a snippet. Enjoy!
Today's word count (so far -- it's only 10:40 AM, after all): 2,096
Total word count: 40,050
Only 1,679 words away from passing Taking Root, people!
12:26 PM
602 words away... ^_^
With a self-deprecating smile, Tommy shook his head, "Man, you have got to stop being proud of me every time I don't act like a selfish ass. It's gonna go to my head."
Jason laughed, "I can't help it! It feels good that *you* feel good. I'm glad that my team is finally happy and settled in. Even though it's harder this time around... it feels different. *Better*. And I confess, I've been getting a bit of a high from it."
Tommy snorted, "Are you sure that's why you're so perky?" Narrowing an eye in his Red Ranger's direction, he commented, "Because Kim and I couldn't help but notice that the *real* improvement in your attitude happened when you found out that Billy would be joining the Lightstar Rangers on Earth for Ashley's birthday."
To Tommy's surprise, Jason's answer to that was an intense blush. The Red Ranger ducked his head and let out a small groan, "How many people has Trini talked to about this?"
Now it was the Green Ranger's turn to be confused, "Trini didn't say a word... Should she have?"
Jason lifted his head long enough to gape at Tommy, "Wait a minute. You mean you and Kim figured it out on your own?"
Blinking in bemusement, Tommy said, "Figured what out? That you're happy to have your best friend back?"
Jason's eyes widened, "So you *didn't* figure it out?"
Tommy was now looking comically distressed and feeling like he was caught in a round of 'Who's on First?' with him as the straight man... as usual. He almost whimpered as he asked quietly, "What are we talking about, again?"
*chuckles* Poor Tommy... ^_^ Always so clueless... ^_^
More to come!

I'm glad you enjoyed! I may have to continue posting snippets as I post word counts. Snippets are definitely of the fun. *nodnod*
