Rating: PG
Genre: General
Characters/Pairings: Spain, South Italy, Belgium
Summary: A day in the life of the Tomato Trio & their friendship with one another; be it begrudgingly or mutual.
Words: 881
Notes: Foreign words have been italicized, I don't speak any of these languages; except I'm about grade school knowledgeable as far as Spanish, I used Google Translate, if the translations are incorrect, please feel free to tell me. Seeing as Belgium hasn't been assigned a human name, I went with Clara. The title of this piece is transcribed from a quote by Aristotle; "What is a friend? A single soul, dwelling in two bodies."

After an admittedly long absence, the contest is back and swinging! erinilliana  has given me permission to run the weekly contest.

Remember that the prompt is released on Sundays, and closes at midnight on Fridays (or early Saturday morning, but as a good rule of thumb aim for Friday). And please include the tag for the week and type of fic :D Have fun!

>> This week's prompt is Midnight
>> The piece should be a free length (any word count).

And here are the lovely winners! Thank you all for putting up with my lack of organization through these two months, and thank you again for the participation.

That's not all! I did promise back in the informational post that everyone would get something. In the next entry that comes around there will be a gift for the participants as a whole: an entry banner, if you would. I've yet to make it, but it will come very soon. ♥

( Now, for the winners . . .  )

And with that the contest is officially over. The community will resume its weekly submissions come next Monday. eta; Though I would rather have avoided this, the weekly contest will be resumed sometime around May. There are a lot of tests and such to study for, for a lot of us (including myself), and so the community will be on a hiatus of sorts. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding!

Voting is almost at an end at last! But first, before the complete results are to be released, here is a tiebreaker for all of you. In this particular voting system, please just pick one entry, as you're only choosing between two.

Youthful Spring or "Brotherhood"

Winners will be posted accordingly on 3 April, Saturday.

First of all, I'm terribly sorry for the lateness of this post. While I intended to make an entry on the appopriate date, the internet failed me and I was without for several days. I'll try to get this wrapped up as efficiently and quickly as possible; my apologies, yet again, and thank you very much for your understanding. ♥

In the meantime, voting has been extended to until Sunday, 28 March due to the lackage of them. Please vote, and this should be cleared by the end of the month!
