Black and White lived in a small village called Shades. Black and White never got along. They were always being paired together, being called 'Black and White'. They were sick of each other and sick of being paired. One day, they just couldn't take it anymore.
“Why do you always get to be first?” asked White. “Why can't it be White and Black?”
“Because,” replied Black, “I am am far more superior. Now can we please leave? We're due for an I Love Lucy re-run in five minutes!”
“No! I'm not going until you say that I am far more superior a shade than you are!”
“What world are you living in? I would never say that! What color do you see when you go to sleep? What color is the night sky?” Black says.
“You forgot what color is your heart! White is FAR more superior than black. What color is cleanliness? What color is Godliness? What color is sun-reflective?” White back sasses.
The two argue for days and nights, fighting which one is better. Finally,their friend, Blue, comes in.
“Why have you two been fighting for so long?” Blue asked.
“Who's better?” Black and White and/ or White and Black answered at the same time.
“There isn't a best among shades, but if you really must find out then how about you run at each other, and whoever is strongest is best?”
Black and White both agreed to do this. They set themselves in position and waited for Blue's mark.
“On your mark... get set... GO!” Blue yelled.
Black and White ran at each other. They both collided and came out one.
“There, now your problem is over. You are a one new shade that you cannot fight over. See you later. Grey.”

Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
Hmm...I think this is a pretty intriguing moment there to start on. It immediately paints a very interesting picture, especially when we've got two colors here being used as characters. I think as far as rushed starts of this nature go, this is a pretty solid one right here. You've done a good job of making us curious as to what's going on without making the information being thrown at us be too overwhelming.
Hmm well those are some very interesting examples there on what the colors normally represent. That adds an extra layer in here that I was not expecting to see and I think it really adds something. Its a nice bit of extra detail to pay attention to as we watch this argument unfold.
Well that was not what I was expecting as an ending there, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised on that one. I really like where you ended up taking it. It was not what I was expecting, especially given it makes this strangely more cartoonish than some of the more deeper thoughts would have you believe, but somehow it does work, and I think it makes for a great ending to this piece.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe

Hey, there! Dahlia here to critique.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back up. This is all telling! Remember, show don't tell.
Rerun is one word I believe.

Hey Peanut
This was a pretty cute story. It doesn't make much sense, but it's not really meant to, so that is fine. One or two nitpicks:
You are far superior, not far "more" superior.
Perhaps, "No, I'm not going until you say that I am better than you!" -- Much more cheeky.
Aside from this, very cute.
Have a good one!
