New Beginnings
Prompt:
It was the sudden feeling of loneliness that finally crept up on me. After my breakup, even though I was glad to break up, I was on my own again. That is, until I met him and the one thing that made me realize he was gonna be a good one was his green hair.
Going to PAX alone wasn’t the initial plan but things had happened so suddenly that there was no other option unless you wanted to throw your money away for no reason. You had been saving and planning for the better part of a year to go and have a wonderful weekend on the west coast.
Now you were just hoping to be able to enjoy yourself as you walked the convention floor on the first day and admired the displays and stood in line at meet and greets. You had been messaging fellow fans on twitter and tumblr figuring out who all was going to be there that you could meet up with and hang out with during the convention. Luckily for you, there was so much to do during the day that you were almost never by yourself.
It was at night while you lay in bed that the loneliness crept in. While you were happy to finally be rid of the toxic relationship being alone was the worst. It had been almost two years since you slept alone in a bed. Without the weight of another person beside you you struggled to stay asleep long, if you slept at all.
You were seated at one of the local bars answering texts from family about your trip when someone knocked into you from behind.
“Sorry about that, it’s a bit crowded here,” he explained in an Irish accent.
“Just a bit?” You rose an eyebrow at him before smiling. He was cute. And the accent only added to his charm. But the thing you noticed the most was his hair. You could only imagine how great of a personality he had with hair the color of a lime. Suddenly you didn’t feel so alone anymore.

The Doctor is in
Prompt:
"Shut up!" Was all he said. Jack cocked his head as he stared Mark down. "I just don't want you to hurt yourself Jack. I care about you." Jack's mind took control. Nothing could stop him.
He didn’t understand why suddenly everyone around him was so concerned. It wasn’t like he was acting strange or out of the ordinary. He was being himself. After all, he was a doctor. He saved lives for a living.
So why was it that everyone was so wary of him? Why was it that Mark was making an unexpected visit to Brighton?
“Take that coat off.” Mark told him stubbornly for the third night in a row at dinner. “You’re not a doctor.”
Rolling his eyes Dr. Schneeplstien shook his head. “I will take off my lab coat only when there are no more lives to save!” He declared in his German accent.
“Look around Jack!” Mark stood angrily, his arms spread wide in desperation. “There’s no one here to save but yourself.”
“Henrik.”
“What?”
“My name is not Jack. It is Henrik Von Schneeplestien and you will address me as such.”
“Jack, buddy, please.” Mark moved towards his friend.
Standing quickly, Schneeplestien grabbed the steak knife off the kitchen table. “Don’t come near me!”
“Jack!”
“Henrik!” Tears filled his eyes. Mark could see the knife twitching in his shaking hand. “I do not know this Jack that you speak of.”
“You are Jack. Henrik is a persona you created for your channel. Just like-“
“No! My name is Henrik!”
Enraged, Mark got in his face. “Shut up!”
Something in his seemed to break. Cocking his head, he stared Mark down, waiting.
Mark could see it in his eyes but stayed aggressive. “I just don’t want you to hurt yourself Jack. I care about you.”
Memories raced through his mind. Memories of making videos with Mark and doing panels at events together, hanging out and so much more. Jack’s mind was taking control quickly. Dropping the knife he stared at Mark for a long time in silence.
“What have I done?” He finally asked quietly.
“Nothing.” Mark embraced his friend, holding on as if he were going to leave again. “It’s just really good to see you again man.”
“You too, buddy.”
That night after everyone else had fallen asleep Jack was in his office holding the lab coat. With a sigh he hung it in the closet beside his Marvin the Magnificent outfit and went to bed.
