Author's Note: Just a brief little scene I came up with to deal with a somewhat silly idea of Blues' choice of recreational reading. Please let me know what you think--it's my first posted fanfic, so I'd love any constructive criticism. Or praise. Praise is nice, too.
Secondary Author's note (August 2008): Yes, I realize that this was posted before, way back in 2004. Unfortunately, fanfiction dot net decided to change its formatting policies (i.e. deleting what they deem overly fancy characters, such as quotation marks that don't look like inch markings) and then retroactively applied it to all previously posted fics. I've only just gotten around to fixing the formatting of my older stories. Other than fixing things like quotation marks, the story is exactly as posted originally. If you're just reading it for the first time, hi there! Hope you enjoy!

"Hey, Blues. What'cha reading?"
"Nothing."
"You are too reading something."
"It's Robotics for Dummies. Now go away, Rock."
"No, it's not. That book's bigger. Why can't I see?"
"Go away."
"C'mon, just one little peek?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No. Don't you have anyone else to bother?"
"Nope. Dr. Light's at a conference and Roll's out shopping. So it's just you and me, Blues!"
"This would be why I don't come home very often . . ."
"What'd you say, Blues?"
"Nothing."
"Yoink!"
"Why you little . . . give that back!"
"Harry Potter? You're reading Harry Potter?!"
"Give it back, Rock."
"Wow, wait till I tell Roll this."
"Rock, give me that - ungh!"
"Hah! Too slow!"
"You are so immature."
"Immature? I'm not the one reading little kids books!"
"Oh, no? So Charlotte's Web is adult literature then?"
"Blues! Now who's the one who's being nosy?"
"You'll note that I didn't rip it from your hands while you were reading it. C'mere, you!"
"Hey! Watch it!"
"Ow!"
-CRASH-
"Oh, man, Roll's gonna kill us for that lamp."
"I'm not the one who knocked it over, blue boy. Now hand over the book."
"No!"
"Why not?"
"I wanna read it."
