Most entries are going to be E rated but some may go beyond that.
You just want to read? These entries will be freshly written for a contest. Since I plan on joining many then I'm putting them all in a book. Sit back and enjoy it. I'll try to do a (poem) line count, (story) word count, prompt, and which contest I entered in. Though I won't be mentioning it in the piece, but "The Contest Challenge will be a part of a contest I enter since it's about entering into a contest following its rules. Wish me luck!

Joe decided to bring Zoe along with him to the hangout where he'd be going to meet his best friend Doe. Doe wanted to show him to someone and he couldn't wait to see who it was going to be. Stopping his car in front of Zoe's house, he watched as the door opened and Zoe came out, dressed up as he suggested. Doe would certainly like Zoe this way. Zoe got into the car and he drove off to the meeting place- Deer Restaurant, where they served deer meat and had something for vegetarians too. Zoe was the only vegetarian. Everyone was there. He didn't recognize who was standing with Doe, but Zoe did.

"He's a vegetarian too, just like me! I'm not the only one then," Zoe exclaimed in excitement as we strolled up to Doe.

"Good, then maybe things will work out eating at this restaurant. I will still support you in your diet by going vegetarian too just for this one meal," Joe said, glad to see the situation was looking good.

"Howdy friend! I see you brought your other friend along. Must be Zoe. This is Chad and he's a vegetarian. For tonight, I'd call this hangover a vegetarian night. We eat what they eat in support for their diet. Chad is a celebrity so he's always on the phone. But we agreed that this is the best restaurant to go to. How's that?" Doe announced with a smile.

"I'm all for that to happen. How about a special kiss on it?" Joe agreed.

"I'm on it," Doe said.

After the kiss everybody went in with Joe being second, right behind Doe. He listened to Doe's adventures of baking cookies and how they ended up in coal. The story didn't quite make sense to him but he imagined burnt to a crisp and uneatable. He sympathized with the attempt and then their turn came to sit down at a booth and each were given a menu. He hadn't tried anything on the vegetarian list so wondered what Zoe would pick. Pickled Lentil Soup was what Zoe looked at the most and decided upon so he decided he would get the same thing. He had had Lentil Soup before so figured it would taste alright and would fill him up. The others decided on the same thing to his surprise.

"Okay, are you ready to order?" Jace, the waitress, asked holding up a pad and pen.

"Yes, Pickled Lentil Soup please. All of us want the same thing," Joe ordered and the others confirmed what he said. Then ordered some dessert as well.

"Wonderful. Are you all vegetarians?"

"I'm not, neither is he, but we are honoring our friends' diet."

"That's so supportive to hear. Okay, your order will be on its way. Let me know if you need anything."

"Thank you for being so supportive of our diet. There's not many people who respect vegetarians like us. I've had one in particular who was adamant about eating meat and not eating their veggies and I thought what a crazy guy. That guy didn't last long, but he sure hurt my reputation badly. Many people stood up to my side when I was dealing with him. Some sided with that guy but didn't push it like he did. What a life I have to deal with. I'm famous for my vegetarian recipes. Easy to make and serves a few. Sometimes I make servings for many. Mostly for a few," Chad said with a tear rolling down his eye.

"We'll stand up for you no matter what," Joe promised.
