Ears
"Hey Jenn~ Look at what I found in my suitcase from Total Drama!"
"What?" Jenn looked up at the curly haired girl, whom had come to Jenn's laboratory for a short visit. "Oh no, not those…"
"Vulcan ears! From the space challenge!" Ai said, all but thrusting them eagerly into Jenn's hands.
"That's nice. Now put them away." Jenn ordered. The dark haired girl did not care for Star Trek, or for the costume she had worn for the challenge.
"Put them on Jenn~ Please?" Ai asked, giving puppy dog eyes to her friend.
"Why?" Jenn asked as she sat in front of her computer.
"Well… It's not easy to talk about really. Can you just trust me and put them on?"
"No."
Ai sighed. "Fine. Then I'll tell you the reason. When you had them on that one time… You acted… more normal. You seemed less bent on doing crazy things."
"That's your big reason?" Jenn spluttered. "Let me set the record straight: I only wore them for the sake of the challenge, not for your personal amusement."
"But Jennnnnnnn…" Ai whined.
There was a pause as both girls looked at each other. Ai sighed and, with a look of rejection, put the ears into her pocket. Jenn crossed her arms and then let out a long, exaggerated sigh. "Fine. Just this once. But never again!"
Ai's face lit up and she eagerly helped Jenn put the Vulcan ears on. Jenn couldn't help but wonder why Ai hung out with her in the first place, but maybe… just maybe… the friendship could someday amount to something to profit both of them…
