Well, it's Sunday afternoon in my little corner of the world - time for this week's prompt. My hubby and I are currently holidaying in the warmth of North Queensland, celebrating our 9th Wedding Anniversary. Australia is also caught up in the up-coming postal plebiscite regarding whether to allow same sex couples to marry. So, wanting to find something to fit this theme, I thought an appropriate prompt would be . . . Commitment

Congrats, Katblu42! Enjoy your time in North Queensland!

Enjoy sunny Queensland! Hapoy Anniversary. I can come up with something this week for the prompt.

Happy anniversary! Hope the weather is being kind to you.

Princess was busy painting, Mark had pointed out Zoltar wouldn't fall for the blank figurines she's produced. She had a few ideas on the whole miniature gamers play. Secretly she was enjoying her new hobby, and could see why the Spectran leader was obsessed with the whole thing. She'd been researching for details, on mission taking notes of specific colours to get her tones right. She had spent weeks on getting it all perfect, down the last soldier. "Wow that's Commitment." Mark exclaimed sneaking in behind her. Icy blues examining her work. "Don't do that." She jumped. "Do what?"He said. Picking up a figurine he examined it with razer sharp eyes. "You missed a bit." He pointed to the teeny patch on a Spectran soldiers uniform. "Damn." she cursed, pulling out her microscope. "Ahhh... I noticed your gaining pieces." Suspicion laced his tone. "A few ISO blue uniforms, Red rangers... whats going on Princess?" "Oh." Trying not to blush, least it give her away. "I'm enjoying it, the team psychologist suggested I needed a hobby--" "She said that to me too a few months ago. seriously flying is my hobby." He explained. "Doing reports, what else do I need?" "Mark, there is more to life than work." Will she ever get through to him? "Yeah, like this one.I think your rushing." Picking up one of Zoltar, turning it over in his fingers. "And this one." "Well... I have...ahhh." Princess fumbled. "I'm making my own game board, its a whole universe, and then you project it onto the internet. Its a trend now, there are gamers from all over the galaxy..." How was she going to explain over the last month she'd begun finding pieces on Spectran bases. She wasn't careless, none of them had tracking devices or mini explosives. Occasionally- a note was even left for her. His words stroked her alter-ego, and he admired her artistic talents, for once she truly felt appreciated- And the tracking chips in the ones she left had lead her to more figurines. A whole new world she didn't know existed awaited her. "Well...if it makes you happy Prin." Mark eased out of the seat, leaving her to it. "I can't see the sense in it." "Mark, its fun, one day I'll show you." she promised. "Anything you say Princess." His grin melted her heart. He always knew what to say as he walked out the door. Quietly the Swan pulled out a note from her pocket reading it again. "Thank you... whoever you are. On Spectra its a rare piece and one highly valued. The one of Chef Anderson was beautifully painted, so many details on the Eagle... and the Swan...Its a now a favourite in my collection... I hope you accept my returned gift, and can you paint these ones for me??? Talented one, please... We could link up and play a few rounds sometime on my galaxy gamers boards.... Zoltar. " She was linked into the network, for the next game of Galaxies she was ready...

katblu: Happy anniversary!!! Ebonyswanne: Oh dear, I wonder what kind of intelligence Zoltar is hoping to glean, or if he really just is a frustrated gamer needing someone to appreciate his hobby.

I'd go with fristrated gamer and finally found someone who enjoys it and even trading game pieces. Wonder what happens if it gets out of hand. Then there is a gaming night. Everyone logs into the web... Wonder what their pen names are. Botp... can have fun with it.

Princess could be FiestySwan?

I'm kind of afraid of what Zoltar might call himself!
