"Captain Short, do I have to repeat myself? I said the left field, not the right!"

"Sorry, Commander..." Holly muttered, then did as he bade her. It seemed as if he was always yelling at her, having to repeat everything he said. She wasn't half as bad as one of those stupid sprites; they took at least seven times to get something as simple as going to the right field instead of the left.

I know he does that on purpose, she grumbled inwardly. Is there some reason I've missed? A thought came to mind, and she laughed inwardly at the thought.

Of course.


This...isn't an amazing drabble, but I laugh at the idea behind it. According to this fact, On average women say 7,000 words per day. Men manage just over 2000. Someone I know commented that it's because women have to repeat everything. I think it'd be funny that if in Julius and Holly's case, it was the other way round. :P
