derien | The First Lines meme

cygny asked if I were planning to post the first lines meme to my own journal. I hadn't previously considered it, because I have so pathetically few original first lines for people to choose from. But then again, what the heck. At least it will make your choices easier.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a drabble with the same first line as one of my stories, and leave it in my comments here. Any and all fandoms welcome.

(Of course I'm not going to hold people to a strict 100 words - if you can't stick to that, like I can't, write to your heart's content.)
(Also, if you decide to take a character name and write an Original Character for it, or veer off in some other fandom because you don't recognize the character name, don't worry about it. I know I avoided first lines with names of characters who I didn't know. There's at least one first line below which is from an original fic, not a fanfic.)

I have often said Jeeves is always right, and he is.

He had found a lump of perfect glass on the slope of the volcano a few days before, and from it Dr. Roy Hinkley had ground two lenses.

When the banging and shouting began all the parents looked at each other.

Winston picked up the remote control and flipped the TV on as he settled into the battered couch.

Deb Lister lay awake, again, listening to the simulated sounds of breathing from the hologram in the bunk below.

Lauren drifted out of her doze as her stop was called.

It was nearly 2am before Sara noticed that the rain had stopped, and she decided she needed a breath of fresh air, before she fell asleep over her archeology book.
