Summary: The Crane brothers sort their candies.


Daphne tilted her head to one side. "What are you doing, Dr. Crane?"

Niles blinked up at her, then looked back down at the candies on the table. "Sorting them."

"But they're all the same." She sat at the table across from him.

"No, no, they're not, I can assure you," Niles said. "Just because they're all the same type of candy doesn't mean they're the same."

"Forget it Daphne," Frasier said, coming into the room, "Niles really is that compulsive."

Niles huffed, affronted. "Like you didn't! Daphne, Frasier was worse than me, he sorted out his M&Ms by color."

"Tattle tale!" Frasier grumped, folding his arms.

"I think it's sweet," Daphne said. "It shows…" her smile faltered. "Well, I'm not sure what it shows, but it's cute." She got up, touching Niles's shoulder as she went on into the kitchen. Once there, she let loose with the laughter she'd held inside. Sorting candies by colors! What would those Crane brothers think of next?
