Sticks and Stones
Jul. 21st, 2009 08:42 amHere's a pre-series Willow drabble.
The prompt at
still_grrr was "country and western songs". I decided to go with Online, by Brad Paisley.

The thing is, Cordelia’s opinion doesn’t matter. Not really.
Cordelia might be queen of fashion and talking to boys, but Willow can hack into any website she wants.
Cordelia might have lots of cool friends, but Willow can program in C++.
Cordelia might be so much cooler than everyone ever, but Willow’s way more intelligent, and fun, and interesting, and… better.
(Willow’s way better at everything that matters.
The stuff Cordelia likes doesn’t really matter.
So Cordelia doesn’t really matter.
So what Cordelia thinks of Willow – that doesn’t matter either.)
Willow keeps typing, and tries to ignore what Cordelia’s saying.
