*Once upon a colony. . .*

"Duo. . . ?"

*Quatre decided to have a little chat with Duo about something. . .in his mouth*

"Yeeeeess?"

"What are you eating?"

"Nothing."

"Duo, I thought I took all of your gum."

"You did."

"Then what are you chewing on?"

"Nothing!"

"Duo-"

"I told you it's nothing!"

"Duo, are you chewing on that Sticky tacky stuff again? I thought we got rid of all of that, too."

"You did."

"So you aren't eating that stuff again?"

"Noooooo."

"Good. . .wait a minute. . .if you're not eating that , then what are you eating?"

"Nothing, nothing at all!"

"Duo, I can see you chewing."

"So?"

"So what are you chewing on."

"My tongue."

"But Duo, you need your tongue to talk."

"Oh, yeah. . ."

"So what are you chewing on?"

"My cheek."

"Duo, your cheek isn't white."

"Yes it is!"

"Duo, nobody has white cheeks."

"Well, mine are special!"

"Duo, I can see the rest of your cheek isn't white."

"Yes it is. You're hallucinating!"

"Duo. . ."

"Yessss?"

"What are you-"

*at this point in the conversation Heero walks in*

"Does anyone know what happened to my scotch tape?"

*swallow* "No." *innocent look*

*Heero gives Duo a suspicious look then goes back to his office and his precious laptop.*

*Quatre slams his head on the coffee table*

"damn machine. . . loves it more than me. . .no love Shinigami. . ."

"Duo?"

"Yeeeeessss?"

"You ate tape?'

"Wellllll, you took my gum! and my sticky tacky stuff! and my, well you can't take my tongue, but if you could you would have!!"

"True, but that doesn't mean you have to eat tape!"

"Well, I didn't think-"

"You rarely do."

"Hey! I think I'm offended!"

"I know." *sighs in frustration and defeat.*

*pause*

"Hey, Duo?"

"Yeah?"

"You got anymore of that tape?"
