Summary: So yeah, I kinda started something. I challenged all the writers to come up with some 100-word stories. I'm going to put all my drabbles here. I hope you like some of them, and drop me a review even though it's only 100 words. Even if you haven't written anything before, maybe you want to try your own drabble? I encourage you to try!





	1. Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own Zorro, ZPI does.

Author's Note: Diana wanted a drabble with Victoria waking up after getting shot. My plan kinda fell apart...but this is supposed to be fun, not something I agonize over. I hope you like it.

"Diego?"

Diego jumped, his head lifting from her bedside.

"Victoria, you're awake."

Diego touched her pale cheek, his jaw clenched against tears.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Diego laughed. "You almost die, then ask how I am?"

"You saved me. I knew you would."

Diego kissed her palm, surprised and touched by her words.

"Zorro?"

Diego shook his head. "Zorro's gone. He won't risk your life again."

"No. You must..."

"Forget about Zorro."

"How can you say that?"

"He almost killed you!"

Victoria shook her head. "Zorro must ride."

"I don't agree."

"It's not up to you."

"Yes, it is."


	2. Stay - Legend Begins

Disclaimer: I don't own Zorro, ZPI does.

Setting: What if Victoria had been there when Diego heard about Zorro's funeral in Legend Begins?

**Stay**

"You're not going?"

Victoria closed the door behind the doctor, then shook her head as she lifted a tray of soup onto Diego's lap.

"You would miss Zorro's funeral?"

She handed Diego some tea. "I do not believe he's dead."

Diego coughed as he breathed deeply, but he was grateful for the soothing tea. "Shouldn't you be out looking for him?"

Victoria sat back on the edge of his bed. "You want me to leave?"

Diego reached out to take her hand, nearly spilling the soup. "No."

"Then my place is here."

Diego smiled and squeezed her hand. "I'm glad."

Reader: OMG did Emma just write a story without a reveal?

Voice inside Reader's head, breathless with shock: I think she did! I must leave a comment now...


	3. Chapter 3 - A Simple Review

"Victoria, what is the matter?"

Victoria sniffed and wiped her eyes. "Nothing."

Diego's hands squeezed her shoulders before he turned her around, lifting her chin. His thumb wiped away her tears.

Victoria stepped back, grabbing some pages she thrust at him. "They hate my column."

"What?"

"The people. They wrote me notes. They hate my column. My paragraphs are too long. I use fancy words, whatever that means."

Diego chuckled. "Don't be silly."

"Silly!"

Diego took a careful step back. "You write for yourself, don't you? Who cares what they think?"

Diego stopped laughing when she doused him with lemonade.

Author's Note: This is part a joke people in my Facebook group will hopefully understand and find funny, part depression at getting some bad marks on my writing this week. Apparently fiction has killed my non-fiction writing skills :-( Hope some of you chuckled.
