Best Shot is a wonderful, fluffy and light hearted one-shot by XxCliche-SpicexX, which lets you hang out on the sidelines, watching a very heartfelt conversation between two best friends. You're not immediately let in on what they are arguing about, or why Teegan is so mad at Jared, and that is what makes it so intriguing.

Jared has such a loveable character, with his humor and awesome lines. Teegan's character is a little more in the dark. She's described as having less emotion than a rock and yet she's angry at him for something. She's guarded and defensive. Her speech pattern enforces this, with her constantly referring to Jared; directing the conversation onto what Jared did and away from her feelings.

The dialogue is amazing; it's witty and so realistic. I can honestly say, I can see this entire one-shot actually happening in a kitchen somewhere in the western world.

The ending is cute, perfect and leaves you wanting more. It's a little anti-climatic for some, and a conversation with the author led me to believe there may be some added content there soon.
