Drabble Challenge

[probodie.livejournal.com]

I had two prompts: Bridle and Sanity. Two seperate drabbles follow.


First drabble
Title: Bridle Sweet

“Fucking horses. Why’d you decide to bring us here?” Bodie grumbled.
Merrily trotting on ahead, knowing Bodie’s hatred of horses, Doyle grinned. “Because,” he said, “it was my turn to choose.”
“How do I stop the stupid thing? Wish I was in my Capri. Love my Capri. It goes fast when I want it to, stops exactly when I-“
“Jiggle the bridle,” Doyle interrupted.
As Bodie shot forward clinging onto the horse’s mane for dear life and muttering what Doyle presumed to be foreign curse words, he knew whatever ‘punishment’ Bodie was going to impose, it’d been worth every second.

Fin.
***
Second drabble
Title: Sanity

Sanity, Bodie thought, was decidedly overrated. Particularly on a day like this.
They’d taken themselves off to the zoo for the day – out of Cowley’s reach – and, having shared plenty of food and drink, were now wandering around the monkey enclosure.
Doyle, it appeared, had partaken of just a little too much booze and had started to prance around imitating each primate he saw. The monkeys were not particularly impressed and ignored him.
Bodie couldn’t.
He sat on a low wall and watched Doyle’s antics, grinning at an unusually athletic manoeuvre.
And fell deeper in love.
Sanity? Who needed it!

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Thank you sweetie :D

Lol! These are both wonderful - I love the image of Bodie clinging to the back of his horse and going on about how much he misses his Capri. And of course - Doyle drunkenly imitating the monkeys. Hee! I'd give anything to have seen that one filmed!

Thanks for the grin. :-)

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm pleased it made you grin. I'd have liked to seen BOTH filmed, really :D

Very good ones. Poor Bodie! I hope that horse finally stops. Loved the Capri line. And the second was adorable. Now I can actually see Doyle being so silly and making Bodie laugh. Thanks for these.

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Hope it did too LOL Glad you enjoyed them.

*Snort* That's sooo typical B&D. Absolutely fab - love 'em! Especially the 2nd one *snicker*

[probodie.livejournal.com]

It is them, isnt it? Thanks, glad you like them.

I love Bodie and the Capri! And of course I want to know about that "punishment" ......

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Hmmm might have to think about that lol But thanks, glad you enjoyed them.

Excellent! Very them - Bodie, a horse and the capri - "jiggle the bridle" indeed.*g* And a drunk Doyle imitating monkeys and making Bodie love him even more :sigh: Lovely.

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Thank you, glad you liked them. Not being a horsey gal, I wasnt sure what the technical term was, but then again, probably Bodie wouldnt have known either, so...

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Both lovely! I'd love to see Doyle on a horse, especially from behind.... and the monkey actions would definitely have an effect....

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Doesnt he make an appearance on a horse in a couple of eps of Pros? ISnt he riding one in Weekend in the Country??? Anyway, suffice to say you are right - he'd be poetry in motion!

Thanks for commenting :D

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I think so - I have to confess to having watched, avidly, throughout the first airing in the long gone twentieth entury - every episode - and never having been able to catch any since - so I have 'Essence of Professionals' but no details!! It was quite a long time ago!!

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Oooh well maybe another viewing is needed??? :-))))

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I managed to record an episode last week but haven't had time yet... And I checked out the cost of the boxed set and thought I might wait... :-))

*giggles* I hope Bodie had a camera with him to capture Ray's antics on film.

Great drabbles!

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Wish we could see them too LOL Thanks glad you enjoyed them :D

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

[probodie.livejournal.com]

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

LOL... Brilliant, was laughing so hard at that first one.

As for Sanity.
And fell deeper in love.
Sanity? Who needed it!

So true. :)*sighs*

[probodie.livejournal.com]

I just wish I knew what sanity was LOL

Thanks, glad I made you laugh :D

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]
