MULTIPAK
Long about noon, the pilots were starting to exit their various stages of slumber. It had been a long night of playing classic games like Crisco Twister, Let's All Roll in the Hay Naked, and Guess Who: Fucked the Duck. By the time the clocks had struck 3am, the 'nonalcoholic' drinks were becoming less and less 'nonalcoholic' and so all five boys had retired to their respective rooms with pounding headaches. These little excursions of playtime during the night could usually be fixed easily though, with a big cup of cheap generic brand coffee the next morning. The thing was, there was plenty of coffee but there weren't any coffee filters, and they weren't about to just gnaw on the raw beans. This morning all were regretting the choice not to get off their asses to go get one thing from the store. Consoling each other, they slowly emerged from upstairs hoping that there might at least be some good talkshow reruns on.
After about 20 minutes, the mail came and Duo went out to fetch it while the others surfed through the channels. When he got to the mailbox, he sifted through the mail and came upon a small plastic pink baggie. He, of course, was curious so he opened the baggie and looked at the contents.
'Hn...what's this? Ultra Super Thin Long Overnight with Wings. Damn, add a freaking Platinum in there and you have a god. What the hell is this...'
Duo stared off into the distance, squinting with thought. he quickly snapped out of the trance and hurried back to the house.
Heero, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei were all sitting on the wrap-around couch having an intellectual discussion; is it worse to act stupid or know that you might actually be stupid? Suddenly, they all stopped talking and smelled the strong scent of fresh coffee. They looked at each other for a bit, then ran off to the kitchen. When they got there, Duo was standing next to the coffee machine with a triumphant look on his face.
"Is that REAL coffee, Maxwell?" Wufei demanded.
"Yup." Duo replied.
"Are you sure," Quatre jumped in, "that you didn't just make it out of mud like the last time this happened?"
"Positive, Q-man." Duo said with confidence.
They all sat down at the table and were thoroughly enjoying their molten lactate extract when Heero thought of something.
"Duo...did you go to the store this morning?"
"No."
"We didn't have coffee filters, how did you make coffee?"
"Stuff came in the mail."
"Coffee filters?"
"No, this other thing that was like a filter... it was called a Super Overnight Long Short Wing or something like that."
"Duo, are you saying you used a feminine pad as a coffee filter?"
"What? *shrug* Is that what it is?"
Everyone looked at Duo as he calmly sipped his drink. The thought finally sunk in all the way and they all ran the nearest bathrooms, leaving Duo in the kitchen alone. Chaos, scrubbing, rinsing, and praying to the porcelain gods ensued. Duo shrugged again and thought to himself.
'Well...I guess the garbage man's gonna think we have some sort of disease...hehe, that's kinda funny...'
