A/N: Have some filler while I finish the next chapter of Lost and Almost Forgotten.
When Bean the Dynamite Duck had woken up, he'd quickly glanced at a nearby calendar to double-check the date. The specially marked square in the month of March held some importance to the insane bomber, but not for the reason people tended to think of or remember. Although, it is Bean, to be fair…
The duck grinned at the calendar before leaping out of bed and rushing to the kitchen to have some cereal for breakfast. However, the cereal selection in the base of Team Hooligan was quite limited and specific. After an incident with Bean screaming about the evil leprechaun stealing his 'shinies', both Bark the Polar Bear and Fang the Sniper deemed it necessary to never allow the cereal known as "Lucky Charms" into their home ever again. After all, it took weeks to get the bits of cereal and bits of the box out of the ceiling and walls, and it took a month after the incident for the base to finally stop smelling like burnt marshmallows.
As Bean munched away at his breakfast, Bark entered the kitchen with his trademark green scarf. Instead of the rest of his normally colored attire, he'd put on green articles of clothing instead. Bean noticed his friend's look and gave him a grin.
"Hey, Bark! Lookin' greater than usual, I see."
The Polar Bear just stared back and crossed his arms.
"Well, ya don't look as good as ya would if your fur was green, but it's an improvement."
Bark gave a silent sigh as the duck laughed, but otherwise shrugged off his friend's comment and settled on making toast. Not too long after, their boss – Fang the Sniper – entered the kitchen looking groggier than usual. Bark realized that Fang had made an error and facepalmed as Bean gave a wide, demented-looking grin.
"Oi…where's me coffee…?"
Bean began to chuckle – Bark took this time to finish making his toast and rush back to his room to hide – which annoyed the half-asleep weasel.
"Bean, shut it. I don't want to deal with your silliness this early."
The duck's laughter steadily became maniacal, which served to annoy Fang further.
"Wot? Why ya laughin', ya pea-brained feather duster?!"
Bean stopped laughing, and Fang noticed that the duck looked more possessed than usual.
"Oh, boss…you do know what today is, right?"
Unfortunately, the sniper's brain could only draw a blank; it was far too early and there wasn't any coffee in his system for him to be able to catch up with the insane duck's antics today. Bean leapt onto the table, a demonic grin twisting its way onto his beak.
"It's March seventeenth…you know, Saint Patty's Day?"
Bean took a step towards the confused weasel.
"…What happens to people who don't wear green today?"
Realization dawned on the unfortunate sniper as Bean summoned one of his 'special' bombs.
"…Aww, nertz…"
-x~x~x-
From within his room, the cautious polar bear could hear chaos happening throughout their base.
"DANGIT, BEAN! I DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO DEAL WITH YOUR SPECIAL BRAND OF CRAZY TODAY!"
"BWAHAHAHA! GREEN LOOKS GREAT ON YA, BOSS!"
With a silent sigh, Bark crunched on his toast.
