I'm Flying Without Wings

“Let go of the balloon!” Cherry Berry screamed.

“No!” Berryshine screamed back, hanging onto the final rope lashing the balloon to the ground for dear life. “You can’t just leave me!”

“You’re crazy!”

“Me? You’re the one screaming like a lunatic and leaving town!” Berry yelled back.

“I am not leaving town!” Cherry hollered. “We’re fighting, not breaking up! I’m at work! You can’t hold a balloon back, you’ll hurt yourself, or worse! And you’re ruining Button’s birthday flight!”

“Is she gonna get pulled off the ground?” Button Mash asked breathlessly.

“Ugh, no, she’s not!” With a grunt of rage Cherry leaned over the side of the basket and pulled her irredeemable girlfriend into the basket, just before the rope unraveled and the balloon launched into the sky.

“You’re crazy!” Cherry repeated.

“I love you!”

“I love you too but like I said, you’re crazy!”

“You’re both crazy,” Button muttered.

May 2020: "I'm Flying Without Wings"

Getting a fic idea 20 minutes before the deadline? Dumb. It was hilarious to crash in there with a fic at literally the last minute though. And somehow get an honourable mention because Loganberry is a nice person. Whaaat.
