^ I LOVE this line! It really made me laugh...too much.
You described Zick in relation to the monsters, such as feeling his mind would pop like a Bursty, which was okay. Though, his (and Elena's) being fifteen could have been left out, or you could have just implied that they were older. A specific, three year fast-forward wasn't that important for the plot.
The scene with Theo, I don't think it was really necessary. Skipping ahead to the part where he watched Elena from the garden wouldn't change it too much. Some descriptions were extraneous, for one "Must have come from his stomach..." just added to the already sufficient introduction this line presented, "...a small bouquet of flowers that magically appeared from nowhere."
There were just a few errors I thought lay between typos and grammar bits. When closing a sentence in quotation marks, you should use a comma instead of a period and not capitalize the He screamed or He said. And you might want to choose if you really want to use the single quotes or double quotes...and stick with one format all throughout. This goes for the tense you choose too. Is it past or future? Then, ok isn't okay and cya isn't see ya/you. You can make this more 'formal' by using full spellings.
The transition from Bombo's tip to the actual flower-giving was brief but good. Simple: in a few words you put the struggle into a concise illustration of his effort to go impress Elena.
While the ending might have been a bit predictable, for a Zick/Elena fic it was pretty good! I meant, really good! The last bit linked back to Bombo, which was the point of the story, giving it a nice sense of closure and all.
(And thanks for the greeting too! :D) |
