As always, the sun shined mercilessly down onto the canyon. The Reds and Blues were currently bickering over a pile of trash, that a civilian ship had dumped on the assumption that the canyon was unusable.
"Look," Simmons started, trying to get the attention of the others. "I'm clearly the most computer savy person here, and so I should get all the computer parts." His helmet tinged, the sound of the newly added 'texting' app that was installed in all of their helmets. It was from Lopez, with nothing but two emojis; a cow, and the poop emoji.
Lopez had reverted to texting rather than attempting to communicate verbally with any of them.
"THESE. ARE. MINE!" Donut loudly proclaimed, holding up a set of violet and gold trimmed curtains. He waited for a few seconds, and realized no one was going to oppose his statement.
Caboose jumped to the top of the pile and help up an assault rifle. "I FOUND THIS! IT'S SO COOL!"
"Caboose, that's YOUR rifle, you already had that" Church attempted to correct him from Tucker's helmet, but to no use.
"I'm going to go show Wash and Carolina! This is the best discovery EVER! Of all time!" Caboose quickly sprinted to blue base.
Tucker and Grif were looking through a stack of miscellaneous newspapers, magazines, and papers. Apparently they found a coupon to a pizza joint on the other side of the planet, and were hoping to score something else.
"Hey, how about you guys use these parts to build a body for me?" Church asked.
"Yeah, I'm sick of hearing his complaining about my helmet" Tucker added.
Sarge chuckled and cocked his shotgun.
"Nice try Blue, but this stuff clearly belongs to us. You would have to pay for a body"
"Oh come on, last time you guys gave us a body, it blew up. I think you owe us one- Wait, this doesn't belong to you, it belongs to us." Church countered
"In what world? The stuff is on THIS side of THAT rock, which marks the center of the canyon!"
** Blue Base**
"Okay Caboose, you found weapons in the pile?" Wash asked slowly, to make sure he was understanding properly.
"No, just this one!" Caboose replied, holding the assault rifle up proudly.
"Caboose...you do realize that's...your rifle...right?" Wash asked again.
"Oh my god. By now I should be used to it, but I'm still astounded on how dumb you guys are." Carolina said tiredly, with dark rings under her eyes. She currently had her helmet off, and was sipping a cup of hot coffee.
"Carolina! Did you see what I found?" Caboose asked enthusiastically.
"Yeah, great job Caboose. I'm proud. Go play." She answered and rubbed her forehead. Caboose, surprisingly, turned around and ran back to the pile.
"How...how did you get him to go away?" Wash asked with a confused expression.
"I realized that giving him slight amounts of positive attention makes him go away faster than a shock-stick." She said, shrugging. Wash winced at the memory of the shock-stick incident. A long moment of silence followed by shouting came from the canyon.
"I should probably go divide the stuff up before they start shooting at each other." Wash said with a heavy sigh.
Sorry guys for such a long gap in my story writing! And I also apologize for such a short chapter for this new story, I've been contemplating putting a story up for quite some time. I've wrote a bunch, and then just never continued. I figured by putting up a chapter, even a short one like this, would be motivation to write more. Thanks for your patience! I hope you enjoy, please give me feed back!
