Welcome to Gaia! ::

Once there was a man with a rare bottlecap collection. He had bottlecaps dating all the way back to when the first bottle with a cap was invented. It was his most prized possession in the world. But, he wasn't satisfied with what he had.

"This is my most prized possession in the world," the man said to his son. "But I'm not satisfied with what I have! I've got to have more! At least just one more!"

"I'm sure you'll find another new bottle cap, pa," said his son. "You've never failed. And with your determination, I'm sure you'll accomplish it!"

The man smiled at his son, but had no idea where he could find another bottlecap unlike his other ones. He fiddled with a cap from a Miller bottle he had drunk at a baseball game years ago as he thought.

"I can't just sit here fiddling with a bottlecap from a Miller bottle I drank years before at a baseball game years ago and think! I must go out there and find some more!"

And so, without further ado, he grabbed his driver's license and headed off to the bar for a few beers. He stormed in and sat at the stool standing behind the counter, where the bar tender was busy cleaning a mug.

"What have you got tonight?" asked the man.

"I've got drinks," said the bar tender.

"What kind of drinks?" asked the man.

"All kinds," said the bar tender.

"Anything else?"

"Soda."

"What kinds of soda?"

"All kinds!"

"Coke?"

"Yes."

"Pepsi?"

"Yes."

"Dr. Pepper?"

"Yes."

"I'll take a Sprite," said the man.

The bar tender smiled and handed him the sizzling beverage. No sooner had he laid it down on the counter when the man seized it up and dashed out the door, screaming, "I've got another bottlecap! Whoo-hoo!!!"

"Sir, you must pay for that!" shouted the bar tender, but the man was too far away to hear him.

The man jumped into his car and drove off, going over the speed limit and going through stop signs and red lights. He satred at his new treasure, for the soda had come with a round, sharp, and colorful object that most people enjoyed. He was so enthrawed by the thing that he didn't notice the police chasing him, or that he smashed right through his garage door.

But, as soon as realized where he was, he ran inside and went to his collection. But, the police had chased him inside and pointed his guns at him.

"Sir, you are under arrest for many traffic violations."

"I don't care! I have another bottle cap! It's mine! And it's very colorful, ha-ha!!!"

The head police looked at the man's collection and the new object. The policeman sighed and stared blankly at the man.

"Sir, that's not a bottlecap. It's a peppermint."

once there was a girl, and her enishels(?) where AW. she joined a softball team, and needed a nick name to put on her ball shirt. This was important, because thats what all you team mates would call you from now on, and if you picked a cruddy one, every one in the grade would pick on you for the rest of your life, this one girl was really really small, so she choose the nick name "pea", and you can see, well, it just wasn't good. Back to the main storey. She thought, she thought and she thought some more, intill her friend suggested, ali-cat, because her name was ali, but it sounded to scruffy, like a dig in the trash, alley cat. Ali walked around the ball park, trying to think, she thought of ali-oop, but it sounded to much like basketball. She looked up at the sky and kept walking, only to spot someing shinney glittering in the sun, she went over and picked it up. It was a old a&w rootbeer cap. THATS IT! she thought, bottlecap will be her new nick name!
please review! mrgreen

(Already participated like, a gabillion years ago) Thank you. I just popped into the guild for the first time in weeks. It's lookin' pretty good.

We've just three stories, so I'll poop another one out for y'all and maybe change the prompt if we don't get another story soon.

There once was a very small rat. That rat was so small that other rats often mistook him for a mouse. His name was Ratty McMouserat.

One day Ratty went on an adventure. He walked over here and walked over there until finally he found a large bottle of soda. It was large even by rat proportions, by which all sodas are large.

"What a large bottle of soda!" Ratty said. He decided that he should drink it, since he was quite thirsty.

Ratty scampered up the side of the bottle. When he reached the top he noticed that there was no top on the bottle. Curious as it was, Ratty just jumped straight in.

Ratty didn't notice that the soda was on an assembly line. The next thing he knew, a bottlecap was twisted onto the bottle by a machine. Ratty was stuck.

"Well, I may as well make due," Ratty said to himself. He drank all of the soda and went to sleep.

When Ratty woke up, he was in a restaraunt. "One soda, please," said a man, "and make it fresh!"

Ratty was suddenly lifted up and the bottlecap came off. The bottle tipped over and Ratty fell into the open mouth of the man.

Several weeks later, after a lengthy court trial, that man won several million dollars from the soda company. He also got himself a brand new mouse. Well, he thought it was a mouse, but Ratty couldn't tell the man otherwise.

Alright! Time for a new topic!
