Original: Fic: The Equation

  • Feb. 18th, 2015 at 9:59 PM
Title: The Equation
Fandom: Original work
Rating: G
Length: 116
Summary: There's some jealousy going on amongst the cast of the equation: X = 8 + 7.

The cast had gathered together to witness the unveiling of the poster for:

X = 8 + 7

“Well, that’s unfair!” said +. “X is a complete unknown—it shouldn’t be getting higher billing than the rest of us!” + appeared a little cross. “You know, I’m considering walking out of this equation!”

The producer sighed. “Look, I think I know the solution: X, will you reveal your true identity, please?”

X whipped off its cloak and⸺

“You’re 15!” said +, trying to curtsey and bow simultaneously. “I’m a huge fan.”

“God, you’re such a snob,” muttered 8. It beamed over at the performer previously labelled ‘X’. “Just wanted to let you know, 15. Me and 7 always considered you our equal.”

LOL! How delightful! I loved where + almost walked out until it found out the identity of the mysterious X. Who knew mathematical symbols had such big egos?

Well, − is a little more modest and retiring, of course. + and − even each other out :P

What an odd story, even if 8 is involved.

Oh, v. amusing :P Btw, did you notice how glamorous 7 was looking? In its prime I'd say...

Rather more than 8, who looks more cube than cute.

I still prefer 8 to 9, who's rather square.

Lovely - and valid. I especially like + getting billing.

Yes, the numbers get most of the glory, but the symbols do sterling work and deserve recognition too ^_^

Thank you so much ^^ Have to say that's one of my favourite things - someone enjoying one of my stories enough to read or show it to someone else ^__^
