• Multiple fills of the same prompt by different author!anons are allowed.
• If for any reason you start a fill but feel you can't finish the WIP you've created, and if you're happy to let someone finish it for you, put it up for HH Meme Fostering and Adoption.

• Anyone, everyone, no one? Use "Other."
• Put [GEN] before GEN prompts, just so you don't get unwanted shipping.
• Use appropriate warnings. I'm trusting you all to know what that means.
• Don't embed any photos, videos or other media.
• Copy and paste links in full; anon comments with active coded links are marked as spam  and the mod doesn't switch accounts often enough - it may be a few days before those  screened comments are de-screened (see: emailing the mod a heads up if it happens).

Archiving Prompts and Fills

• To make the archiving job easier, please drop a link to your fill/unprompted fic here at the fills post.
• Nothing here you fancy filling? Take a look at the unfilled prompts archived here or at Round 1 or Round 2.

Unprompted: [RPF] The Nativity Play.

[balinese-baby.livejournal.com]

All the gang (except Martha) are seven years old.

THE NATIVITY PLAY.

“James, please stand still, I can’t get your headdress on straight if you keep on moving around.”
Said Mrs Jones,
“And stop shuffling your feet!”

At these words Jim did stop moving, but now he was pouting, he knew he had a very good reason to sulk; he had the best reason in the world. Jim was in his third year at St. Sebastian’s School for Boys, and this year his class had been chosen to perform the annual Nativity play. It was considered an honour to be the chosen class, but there was one downside to it. And that was that the role of Mary had to be played by the smallest boy in the class. And this year that boy was Jim.

Behind Mrs Jones, Jim could see the biggest boy in the class pulling faces. Ben was not only the biggest boy, but a bully as well. He was certain that his mum wouldn’t have let him play a girl, even if it was the most important role in the whole play. He was playing Herod, and he was proud to be playing a king, even if he was a nasty one. Picking up his cardboard crown, Ben plonked it down on his head and wandered off to see if there was anyone else he could upset.

Over in the far corner, the class helper, Miss Howe-Douglas was just finishing dressing the four shepherds; Lawry was strutting around like a peacock in his stripy tunic and his tea towel headdress. Henry was moaning that he wanted a ‘wee’, while William was sat on the floor trying his hardest to do up his daps. Short George on the other hand just stood there sucking his thumb.

The three wise men, Maltravers, Richard and Blenkinsop were all sat in a circle playing snap, while the four angels, Larry, Charlie, Sotherby and tall George were all stood in a row hopping from foot to foot as the deputy head did her best to attach wings and halos to the least angelic looking bunch she had ever had the misfortune to see in all of her years as a teacher.

Just as she was finishing, the classroom door swung open and another boy wearing a tea towel on his head rushed in, skidding to a halt. Looking around the room, he chewed nonchalantly on the toffee he had found in the bottom of his shorts pocket. Seeing ‘Mary’ sulking in the library corner, he smiled happily and swaggered across to give his ‘wife’ a hug, squeezing Jim tight against his chest. Squealing like a girl, Jim tried his best to escape, wriggling madly, and only succeeding in his attempt when Mat began to choke on his toffee. Grinning broadly, Simon, the innkeeper, slapped Mat on the back, pleased that he had an excuse for thumping the most popular boy in the class.

Suddenly the room fell silent as the head mistress appeared in the doorway, stopping to scan her year twos, and praying that none of them would say or do anything that would be an embarrassment to the school. Clapping her hands together, she called them all to order, and after she had given them all a once over, she led them off down the corridor to the school hall where all their parents were sat waiting.

Two hours later she sat down in the staff room and after she had accepted a steaming mug of tea from a colleague, she thought back to the performance. It had gone exceptionally well if you ignored the fact that one of the shepherds had wee’d himself, and that Herod’s nose had been running the entire length of the show. It would go down in school history, she was sure of that, as the year that Joseph had kissed his Mary, and Mary in retaliation had whacked Joseph around the head with the baby Jesus.

And just over twenty years later, she would smile when she saw pictures in the papers of ‘Joseph’ kissing his ‘Mary’, but now the kisses were returned wholeheartedly. Mat didn’t have to worry that Jim would belt him with a plastic baby doll ever again.

I loved the part where Jim whacked Mat over the head with the doll. Hilarious.

Other than that, there was so much cute in it!

Utterly, wonderfully, horribly adorable!! Oh my... I loved it, especially "the least angelic looking bunch she had ever had the misfortune to see" .

Simon as the inn-keeper. Jim as Mary! Adorableness on a high level that make my english fail.
