"A Perfect 10" for A Little Drabble Do Ya!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Everything was moving in slow motion as Illya drove forward, crashing through a large plate glass window.

Shattering into a thousand pieces; they seemed to float motionless in the air around him for that split second of weightless.

Until Illya dropped, plunging to a built in swimming pool at least fifty feet below.

It was a perfect entry, and Kuryakin surfaced, swimming poolside where he was plucked out by his partner.

“That was some exit. Get it?”

“Got it,” Illya gasped.

“Good.”

“Napoleon, remind me to never do that again.”

“And here I thought you were just showing off tovarish.”

Wonderfully vivid image, I can picture it precisely. He's lucky that pool was deep enough though...

Thank you! I tried now to dwell on the depth of the pool for the sake of the story. Still a pretty frightening drop for sure.

Wow, what an exit. I can see his swan dive as he splashes down... what a show off ;)

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Ah but he'll deny he was showing off..lol! Thank you!

Brilliant. He does like to show off his skills on occasion, doesn't he? It put me in mind of the new film where there wasn't a pool beneath.

Funny I thought about after the fact when Glennagirl said 'swan dive'... Thankfully this Illya knew there was a pool, otherwise his crashing though a plate glass window would have been for naught.'

Thanks for the comment!

Nice scene - love the floating glass. Thank you.

Thank you! I got the idea for the floating glass after seeing a television commercial. Such inspiratiojn lol!

Oooh, I can see him floating with the glass all around, very Matrix-like.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Ewww thank you. Matrix-like? I like that!

I liked the weightless moment, and the image of his perfect dive. One problem... I want to know what happened before he crashed through the plate glass window. More please?

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The 'Get it, Got it Good' (which is from an old comedy routine, I think) was in reference to Illya stealing something, and his having to dive through the window was the only way he could get away from those who were chasing him.

[lindafishes8.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got that part. Just thought it would be great as part of a fleshed out story.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Okay I'll figure out how to flesh it out in another story, just for you. :D

[lindafishes8.livejournal.com]

Thanks! This story speaks to me for some reason. I can see it as a real episode.

You are up early today!

Yesterday I overslept, woke up after 12 o'clock. I haven't done that in years. So today I woke up a little after 5, guessing my body trying to right itself.
