It sounds like this cat might be there to stay...
A year ago, I took in a little stray female cat, a calico, and my old black cat never got used to her at all, and he would try to beat her up at every opportunity. She was declawed so she couldn't defend herself well at all -all she had going for her was the fact that my cat's very old so she was faster than him and could jump higher. I wanted to keep her, regardless, but the neighbours two houses down the street knew her too (she was a very friendly cat) and their accountant offered to take her. So, now she's living with the accountant and no one's beating her up. I miss her though. She was a sweetie.

Welcome, green!
Are you a fic writer?

Hi Green!
Ficcie challenges...I'm having trouble writing anything at the moment... for some reason I'm just not motivated at all.

I agree, green...I think a Friday the 13th challenge would be interesting...

Thank you, I'm trying fic writing, but it's a slow process 
School was a long time ago...
But I have to say a big thank you to all you ficcie writers. You've made me laugh so hard I've woken up the neighbours four houses down, cried like my heart was broken and think about cartoon characters in ways I never have before (Looking at you Transmute Jun and Springie!)

A warm welcome from me too, Green! Your challenge proposal is very interesting but I too am a bit tight with my time! LOL I even do not have time to finish my first part of my first ficcie! Do not worry ... you're not alone feeling that trying fic writing is a slow process!

Well, that doesn't sound like very much to thank anyone for, but FWIW... you're welcome?
In any case, we're always interested in seeing new fanfic around here! So if you have anything you want to share, we'd be more than happy to read it! We were all new at this once.
Welcome!

Hi Green! Welcome to the group.
I know what you mean. I was giddy when I first found Gatchfanfic. I'm still finding fics I'd never read before.

Okies, since I did put it out there....
‘Tomorrow is Black Friday.’ Spoken by the girl.
‘Black Friday?’ The man asks.
‘You know, Friday the thirteenth.’
‘You don’t believe in superstitions, do you?’
The girl withers under the steady gaze of clear blue eyes.
‘Of course not! But I hope I don’t break a mirror or something – that would be just too freaky.’
‘I hope we don’t get called out, we don’t need any extra bad luck.’ The child looks up from the sink.
‘You’re being silly, you make your own luck.’ A second man speaks.
‘You should go fishing, you’d learn a lot more about luck and who makes it.’ The big guy puts in.
~~~~
The young man looks at the damage left by a sudden wind across an unprotected airfield, a Cessna tossed aside like a child’s toy.
~~
The girl screams from the chair. The creature runs across the room disappearing under a table she knows is occupied by the local Inspector of Health.
~~
The child looks in confusion at an empty cage hidden in a wardrobe. A distant scream his only clue to the rodent’s whereabouts.
~~
The tall man looks up from his place in the dirt, a month of shared glances and smiles turned to dust as a burly man walks away with his arm around the pretty jogger.
~~
The big man laughs in joy as he drags the huge trout into his little boat.
~~~~
‘Launch the GodPhoenix!’
‘Um, NO?’
‘Not on your life!’
‘Hell, no!’
‘Not a chance!’
‘Anyone for a fish dinner?’

That's great, Green! I love it! Especially the ending. 
Only I'm not so sure I agree with this one....

Somehow, I think it should have been related to his car, or his gun jamming. But I can't see a park bully beating him up. Just me....

The guy in the park sucker-punched him.
Oh, and Jun raced up the stairs and ripped Jinpei a new one for not taking care of his pets properly.

Exactly, UW!
I went with the thought it had to be something that wouldn't normally happen to them to stay within the theme...
Ken would normally be paranoid about making sure his plane was safely in it's hanger. Jun would have the Snack spotless with no hope of pests. Jinpei would know better than allowing one of his pets any chance of escape and Joe would never get sucker-punched. On any other day....
As for Ryu landing a fish, well, since he had the most open ideas about the day and luck in general, it made sense that the day itself had no bearing on him. He accepts what happens, happens...

Okay, sucker-punched makes sense. I can see that happening to Joe. I guess Ken even did that to him once or twice....
But it's a great ficlet, Green! I hope you continue to keep writing!
