Dear Joey,
I thought I'd get my favorite brother a little gift. You must be lonesome in that empty apartment of yours...
I hope you enjoy this little guppy's company!
Your loving sister,
Serenity
P.S.: He needs a name.
... And the blonde had been sitting at the table, staring at the glass bowl housing the guppy Serenity had bought for him.
Being a fish must be so dull... he thought, his eyes drifting lazily from side to side as the golden-yellow guppy swam in circles around his home.
Staring at a bowl for hours just to find one name for a fish? It wasn't as easy as it looked.
He'd tried "Sushi", but that only made him think of food, thus distracting him from the task at hand. "Goldie" was cliched (even Joey seemed to have known this), "Fish", "Fishy", "Phish", and "Phishy" all sounded very half-assed. He'd even considered a name out of the blue - "Reverend Billy Gibbons" - but no, no such luck.
Even the guppy hadn't seemed all that happy about his potential names.
"... 'SUNSHINE'!!" Joey exclaimed loudly as he stood up, a foolish smile on his face as he stared down into the glass bowl.
"Seriously?!" the guppy seemed to be asking from the look he glanced up at Joey.
"... AW, YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!" Joey shouted, slumping back down. "I can't believe it, I'm arguing with a fish!"
The guppy merely began to swim around again, his tail fluttering behind him.
"You know what? Screw it! It's taking five of the ten percent of brain I use, and I can't figure out a silly little name for a freakin' fish!" Joey said, fingers tangling into his hair, tugging on the golden blonde tresses. "Ugh... and that sounds like an insult Rich Boy would shoot at me!"
Joey then sat back down, staring at the guppy, whom stared back at him.
"Yeah, fishy! He'd say something to me like 'Hey, Blondie! How much of your brain power did that take?! Five percent of the ten percent you only use?!', and then I'd insult him, try to take a swing at him, and end up getting knocked down onto my ass!"
No, you are not crazy for opening up to a fish... Joey told himself.
The guppy then swam up to the top of the water, and blew bubbles.
"... I know! You wanna be 'Bubbles', don't you?!" Joey asked, somehow now eager and hyper-spastic.
"Bubbles" didn't look too happy.
"Damn, you're as stubborn as Kaiba... 'Damn it, Blondie! Quit asking me! The answer is "no"!' Man, that guy must have a stick up his-"
Joey blinked as the fish blew bubbles again.
"What did I say?" Joey asked. "... 'Kaiba'?"
The golden-yellow fish then swam down and laid down beside his plastic castle.
"Okay, that's a no..." Joey began - but then he blinked. "... 'Blondie'?"
The fish swam up again, and blew more bubbles.
"Huh... well what do you know?" Joey asked. " 'Blondie' it is, then."
As if he were content with his new name, Blondie laid down on the fake, colored pebbles.
"I guess that Seto really does have a way with words..." Joey said.
OWARI
(THE END)
... Yes, this epically fails, and is very suckish... I don't even know where this idea came from! Damn my creative mind...
... Anyways, reviews would be appreciated... NO flames, what so ever.
