    Ok, so my friend and I are writing a story. We aren't really sure what to title it. So, if you have opinions and time, please come up with titles just from using the following:

    robins
    jays
    dreamland
    realms
    learning to accept the way things are
    losing the ones you love
    coping
    finding new love

    please and thank you. we would love input in the next few hours if possible...if not until tomorrow around this time...

    We haven't completely finished the story, but this is what we have so far, so if you want to you can read it and give us input in the next hour.

    The bus was loud and cramped. Paper was flying every where, and kids were yelling at one another. Lesli’s only friend at the moment was her Dell laptop, on it, a page about Robins.
    The box beside her on the seat suddenly cheeped, drawing the attention of the burly football player on her other side.
    “What’s in the box?” he grunted.
    Lesli almost considered telling him, but thought better of it.
    “It’s nothing, nothing at all,” she replied with as much confidence as she could muster.
    The football played stared at the now silent box a little longer before answering, “It don’t sound like nothin’.”
    “Doesn’t,” Lesli pointed out.
    “What?”
    “’It doesn’t sound like anything’ is the correct sentence.” The player look annoyed.
    “Who gives a –,” He began to say, but Lesli cut him off.
    “Never mind,” She said.
    The player looked as if he was about hit her, but then turned back to join the riff-raff on the back of the bus.
    Lesli sighed. This school would be like all the rest. She would never be accepted, and she knew it.

    As they neared the bus stop, the box began to cheep again. Lesli quickly snatched it up; weary of the football player still beside her.
    “Thank you,” She told the bus driver hoping off the half empty bus.
    “Hurry up and git!” The driver snapped back, “I have more stops ya know!” Lesli scrambled back towards the sidewalk just as the bus sped away.
    Lesli’s house was a big white house with three stories, where she lived with her step-mom Erin, step-sister Blake, and her birth sister Anneliese. The yard was always neat, with its bright green grass, and the lilies and roses added just the right splash of color. But, Lesli’s favorite place was in the big apple tree in the back yard. Resting in the tree was a little one-roomed house. It held a desk, chair, a whiteboard, and a sleeping bag. It also had a porch, which was also as big as the room itself. The little room was Lesli’s sanctum.
    She quickly hurried home, but something next door caught her eye. There was one big moving truck plus ten men. By the truck were three wooden chairs, a beige couch, and a red oak dresser. Then, out of the corner of her eye, Lesli saw a flash of Bleue.

    and tasteless---thanks for the idea...

    Robin's Realm is nothing like Jay's Dreamland : A guide to help one cope with newly found love.

    HEY!!! UPDATE:

    We were brainstorming awesome names, and my friend just thought of DREAMING IN BLUE.

    When Lesli enters a literal dreamland, everything is a shade of blue. (Of course you don't know that much yet...) Also, Robin and Jay, the friend and crush she meets (robin is the robin and jay is her brother), have the last name as Blue. Sweet, short, simple, and too the point...well not so sweet.

    But, what do you all think. And we sooo wanna use the titles above in some way shape or form later on. Thnks, keep them coming!!!!

    Oh, come on Britt... new love is so dramatic, it definitely needs coping with, lol

    Kitty, I like your idea for a title, though I do also definitely like Elysium's suggestion ; ) Whatever you do, make sure it fits the story.. don't just name it something that you think sounds cool. I hate it when books do that.
