Ok, people, we're gonna give this a shot
We have a lot of writers here in this community, but I wouldn't say we have enough people to do a fic contest, so why not a drabble tree? The rules are pretty straight forward. I got the idea from an Oz community, oz_wishing_well, and if you want to see how one's done, you can see it over here.
1. Please include either Ted or Cody in any of your drabbles. It doesn't have to be Ted/Cody, just as long as it involves one or the other.
2. Both slash and het are welcome. It doesn't even have to have a pairing, if you want to have, say, Ted thinking about a match, go for it!
3. Drabble (100 words) is a suggestion. It's fine if it's longer, though.
4. Your drabble must be posted as a comment to this entry.
5. Include a word, phrase or sentence from a previous drabble in the tree. Put it in the subject line and bold it.
6. Anyone can riff on any drabble in the tree, including the initial one, or their own. Just reply to the drabble you're riffing from.
7. Write as many drabbles as you want.
8. Drabbles only, please. No comments. Show your appreciation by jumping off someone else's drabble.
9. If you have any questions, ask me. I won't beat you if you need help, mmkay?
10. The Drabble Tree should last for a few days (I'll come up with a date for when it'll end and let everyone know). When it's over, post your drabbles to your own LJ and/or archive them.
The Tree is now officially closed

Dusty Rhodes was a proud new father of a bouncing baby boy, Cody. For months he bragged to the fellow men in the back about his child, showing off the pictures, telling them all about the first time he rolled over, the first time this, the first time that. One day he said to his friend Ted Dibiase, "You should bring your boy over to our house one day. He's only a few years older; I bet they'd get along real well."
"I'll have to run it past the missus, but I think she'd give the ok. Who knows, maybe they'll become wrestlers like their daddies and become tag champions."
"We'll worry about that when the time comes."
Both men had a good laugh at the thought.
