Please review! (I said please!) I'm still writing my other story, too.
Halt vs. Tape: Chapter 1
"How do you get this stupid stuff off? Curse you Crowley," Halt grumbled, in a bad mood as usual. He was currently battling Crowley's newest invention, duck tape. It was used for catching and killing ducks, and helped get all the feathers off. It, of course, could be used for other small animals, but Crowley tested it on a duck first, hence the name duck tape. Each ranger had a sample roll, and their assignment was to find other uses. Still cursing and grumbling, he fought it out of his hair. He didn't even know how it got there in the first place.
"Hey! Halt, how are you doing?" Will called from the door. Stepping in with Gilan by his side, they walked to the kitchen. With slightly- I mean highly amused faces, they watched Halt struggle to pull it out of his hair, only succeeding in causing more pain.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" he asked them through gritted teeth, infuriated by their laughter.
"I don't know, having a war with it," Gilan smirked. Will by now was almost on the floor laughing.
"Hmpf," he sighed, giving up and just leaving it there. "I'm going to get Crowley for this."
"Get me for what?" he popped his head in through the back door, grinning like a maniac.
"W-what? Where'd you come from! You're not based here!" by now everyone was laughing, and it only made Halt even more exasperated. He sighed again, and gave everyone death stares. After they all calmed down enough to talk, but with the occasional giggle or hiccup coming through, Halt looked at all of them pointedly.
"Why are you all here!"
"To see you humiliate yourself with Crowley's newest invention." Gilan simply stated.
"Shut up, you're just going to make him madder," Will poked him in the ribs.
"To see how you were doing. Everyone submitted their different uses except you. We're having a competition to see whose was the most creative. But, we need everyone's ideas, even if they are the same as someone else's. We'll give you one more day!" he said all bright and cheery, as if he weren't about to go send all three of them to spend the night in a tree. Halt sighed, and then reluctantly agreed.
"Fine." he said, "but only if you show me what you came up with."
"Why?" Will asked innocently, even though he knew the answer. Halt was just being lazy, and wanted to copy off of someone else. What a cheater.
