Drabble Thirty-Four: Surprise!
"Finn, I don't see anything else I can do with your ride," Junko complained. "We've been here for hours. Let's head back to the bridge."
"Um... We can't," Finn replied.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Um... Actually Junko... The reason I came down here with you is because... um... I wanted to... talk to you about something..." The blond glanced at the clock hanging in the skimmer bay.
"Oh..." The Wallop put his wrench down. "What is it?"
Finn hesitated; he had to think of something, fast... "Um... Piper's pregnant!"
Junko blinked. "WHAT? You got Piper pregnant? Finn, how could you! I didn't even think you liked Piper like that!"
"No! It's not like that... It wasn't me."
"Then who?"
"Um... Stork," Finn replied. He almost said Radarr, but thought better of it.
"And how do you know this?" Junko asked. He looked uncomfortable at the thought. Piper and Stork? "And why did you want to talk about it?"
"Um... I dunno... Wanted to kill some time... So... What do you think a half-Merb, half-human baby looks like?" The blond glanced at the clock again. It was almost time...
Junko blinked. "I... I really don't want to think about it..."
Just then, Piper walked into the skimmer bay. "Hey guys, why don't you come to the bridge? Aerrow wants to play some cards." She winked at Finn.
"Alright," Junko replied. "So Piper... When's it due?"
She blinked. "When is what due?"
"Um... You know... The baby," Junko replied. "I... I never really thought that you and Stork... I mean... Not that there's anything wrong with it... Just because he's six years older than you... Um... Yeah..."
Piper was glaring daggers at Finn. "I'm not pregnant! Especially not with Stork's baby!"
The Wallop blinked. "Oh... Finn, why'd you tell me that Piper was having a baby?"
Finn glanced away. "Um... You know... Um... Come on, let's just go to the bridge and play some cards!"
"Alright..." Junko opened the door to the bridge.
"SURPRISE!" Aerrow and Radarr jumped out from under the table while Stork just stood there.
"Happy birthday, Junko!" Aerrow exclaimed. "And I bet you thought we forgot, didn't you?"
Junko blinked once again. "It's my birthday?"
A/N Yeah... I don't know where this came from...
