This occurred to me while eating a bowl of ice cream. Pure liquefied bottled KRACK.

I own nothing.

Rated T just to be safe...

Pepper Potts stumbled through the front door of the Miami mansion. Her legs shook under the weight of the groceries balanced precariously in her arms; the strap of her purse clenched tightly in her teeth. She staggered into the kitchen and stopped short at the sight in front of her.

"Go, go, go, go, GO!"

The groceries, as well as Pepper's purse, hit the floor with a thud.

"What the HELL?" Pepper hissed.

Colonel James Rhodes sat at the transparent glass dining room table, clutching a glass of bourbon, and laughing drunkenly. Tony Stark slammed down the bottle he was drinking and grinned. Pepper stepped forward, examining it.

"Is that... chocolate syrup?" She spat, noticing the dark stains on Tony's face. He nodded, snickering like a maniac, and gave Rhodes a high-five.

"You jusss got one more bottle man, you gunna go for it?" Rhodes slurred, his eyes unfocused but trained on Tony's expression.

"A bet's a bet." Tony replied. Rhodes tossed him a tan bottle of caramel syrup topping and watched eagerly.

Tony unscrewed the cap and peeled back the seal. Pepper watched in horror as Tony tilted his head back and began chugging it noisily. She noticed the other containers surrounding Tony; maple syrup, strawberry syrup, green apple syrup...

Tony gagged as he tossed the last empty bottle over his shoulder. His face broke into a smile as he saw the look on Pepper's face.

"You owe me two-hundred bucks, Rhodey!" He mumbled, pointing a wobbly finger in Rhode's general direction, who was rolling on the floor, shaking with silent laughter. Pepper was furious.

"Why do you do this to yourself, Tony? You're gonna die before you hit forty, you know that, right?"

"Hold that thought..." Tony hiccupped, holding up an index finger. He staggered over to the sink and vomited in a rainbow of colors. He straightened out and glanced at Pepper.

"C'mon, this isn't the worst thing you caught me doing..." Tony said, before another wave of nausea overtook him. Rhodes stumbled over and slapped him on a heaving shoulder.

"You are one crazy sonofabitch, you know that?" Rhodes chuckled.

Pepper ran over and grabbed Tony's arms as he slumped to the floor. His head rolled up as he looked at her.

"By the way, we're out of ice cream toppings." He stated.

His grin faded as he passed out cold. Pepper let his head thump onto the kitchen tiles. She glared up at Rhodes.

"If you EVER dare him to do something like that again, I'll make sure the press finds out about what you and Tony did at that hotel in Hawaii last summer..."

Rhodes looked stricken. "Hey, I thought we agreed never to speak of that night... we were reeeeeally drunk..."

"...I actually think that was the worst thing I ever caught him doing..." She shuddered. "It would be a shame if everyone found out about it..."

"OKAY, okay..." Rhodes replied apologetically. "No more drunken bets..."

In case you were wondering, YES, green apple syrup topping does exist, but its really gross...
