"He...doesn't...deserve...you!" Opal Koboi snarled, her hand wrenching at Holly Short's cropped, auburn hair.

"Get off my hair you bitch!" Holly flipped Opal over, sending a fist at her face.

"You call this hair? He would never like you with straw like this!"

"That's what you think!" The fight resumed. Weapons and logic lay forgotten as the two Haven-dwellers grappled on the floor of Commander Root's office. Root was simply sitting in his chair, smoking a cigar and shooting the occasional mildly interested glances at them.

Artemis, who had tried to intervene before, reached out and pulled Opal back (because she was significantly lighter and less likely to hurt him than Holly).

"Stop! What's wrong with you two?!" They stared at him incredulously.

"You mean you don't know?"

"I love you!" Opal cried. "You understand me better than anyone else ever has!" He reeled back, letting go of her as he did so, staring at her in horror.

"No! I love him!" Holly launched herself at Opal again. Artemis sank down, his hand over his eyes. What was wrong with them?!

A/N: Just something that came into my head randomly. Very, very weird I know. Review?
