There are many reasons why Castrilla isn't allowed to drink coffee.

Actually, just one; she shouldn't.

It just had to be the time of day when the other boys were out, getting themselves snow cones for all their training that morning, leaving Skipper alone with her. Everything was fine; well, was fine until she got a hold of the coffee maker in Kowalski's lab. Things went downhill since her seventeenth cup.

"We should like, like, like build like a fi-fi-fighters jet." One of her ramblings went, her words jumbled up together, stuttered, own mindset unable to be set straight.

The chemical seemed to take a toll on her physical activity as well. A quick glance was all it took for the leader to see his old college friend sprawled out on the chair, clothes wrinkled, even the lone strand of dyed white hair was overly curled at this point. A genuinely cheeky smile practically plastered onto her face, her emerald eyes shining as they were widened with energy.

The commanding officer heaved a sigh in response, measly flipping through old file records of their previous missions. Seeing his friend like this, even all the while inconvinient, was pretty amusing in all honesty.

"Cas, I'd like to see you try. Unless you want to make like Rico and go kaboom everywhere, be my guest." He heaved, not paying too much attention on his caffeinated teammate.

He wish he did, though. Then he could've expected the two arms to forcefully wrap around him, causing him to fall of the couch.

"What the deuce?! Cas!"

"Wowie, look't that." The girl started, looking down on the officer below her. She found herself playfully fiddling with the collar flaps of Skipper's suit, giggling all the while. "We're like really close friends! Haha, get it? Close?"

"Well ha ha, soldier. Now would you get off me?"

"Mhm, I could..." Castri tapped her chin in fake thought, stopping with a laugh as she nuzzled her face onto her friend's neck. "Oh, you're so cute when you get all commandy and all that!"

Skipper couldn't help it but feel his face heat up from the action. He was frozen right in place, which didn't at all help since he was already completely immobilized from the position the girl has tackled him in (Curse their damn good training).

She continued on for a while until the commando officer noticed how she's slowed down and her grip lightening, until she completely had her energy crash right then and there, allowing him to escape and leave his teammate in peaceful slumber. He was just lucky that she was the type to forget these episodes the moment she wakes up.

Although, some part of him wished that she would drink coffee more often...
