"It's pronounced J-I-F. Say it with me Pidge, J-I-F." Lance slowly enunciated each letter of the word.

"Lance, if anyone knows how to say the word 'gif' it would be me! I'm the computer genius!" Pidge adjusted her glasses as she spoke. "And it's pronounced G-I-F! Like the word 'gift' without the 'T'. NOT like Jiffy peanut butter!"

"You LOVE peanut butter!" Lance looked at her his brow furrowed.

"True, but that's not how it's said!"

" It's pronounced J-I-F!" Lance folded his arms defiantly.

"That's not how it's spelled!" Pidge exclaimed, pointing to the word on her computer. Lance threw his hands up in the air.

"Lots of words don't sound like they are spelled!"

Pidge rolled her eyes and shook her head. "G-I-F is short for Graphics Interchange Format. The word Graphics is a hard 'G' sound."

"Well, I heard once that some famous inventor dude insists it's pronounced J-I-F!"

"Then he should have used a 'J'!"

You could almost see the electricity between the two paladins. They both huffed and turned away from each other.

Hunk was working on his own project just a few kluta's (feet) away.

"You know, I've always said it G-E-E-F."

Pidge and Lance both turned to Hunk staring daggers at him. Both had evil looks in their eyes. Hunk swallowed hard. He really should learn to keep his mouth shut.

"Then again, I should probably mind my own business. I don't want to get caught your lover's spat." The yellow paladin rushed the words out at top speed as he bolted for the hanger door.

"WE ARE NOT LOVERS!" Pidge and Lance shouted in unison. Both were blushing up a storm. An awkward silence hung in the air.

It was Lance who decided to break the silence. "Can you believe he says it G-E-E-F?"

Pidge snorted a laugh. "I know right. Who does that?"

"Apparently Hunk."

Lance gestured in the direction their friend ran off in.

"I wonder how the others would say it?" Pidge shot lance a smirk.

"I bet they say it the right way." Lance smirked back.

"I know they will."

With that both paladins ran for the door in search of their shipmates.
