Taz: whistles innocently I didn't do it, honest!!
Jo: Is that a halo I see round your ankles?
Taz: blushes Ahem!! I wondered where that had got to!



Jo had just stood up when Rei lurched into the kitchen.
"Look at my hair!" He wailed, "It's ruined!"
"Just exactly what are you trying to imply?" Jo hissed acidly, folding her arms.
"Oh, um, n-nothing!" Rei gulped and sped back into the living room.
"Right, suppose I aught to make another cup of tea!" Jo kicked absent- mindedly at the pile of broken china on the floor.
She began rummaging through the drawers looking for a teaspoon.
Now this is familiar!

The sound of the shower thundered ominously upstairs... and everyone ignored it!
Taz sat contentedly playing with Max's fluffy blonde hair.
Tyson pouted because he wanted his hair braided.
Kai sat completely still watching TV.

Having finally found a spoon Jo then had to look for the sugar.
"Where's the spoon?" Jo mused as she turned back to the table.
"There is no spoon!" Tyson grinned over her shoulder, ducking as her fist swiped at his head and laughing like a maniac.
(A.N: Matrix anyone?)
Jo shrugged and reached into the drawer for another spoon, waving it triumphantly at Tyson before continuing her tea hunt, grumbling to herself.
"Stupid Tyson! Stupid spoon! Stupid sugar! Stupid breakable antique cups! Stupid Kai..." Jo paused for a moment. "O.K maybe not...But everyone else is stupid!"

"Hey Tyson! I bet I can make Dragoon disappear!" Taz chucked the white metal spinning top in the air and caught it behind her back.
"Hey careful! I – I mean – me and Kenny worked real hard on that!" Tyson made a grab for it, only to fall on his face as Taz dodged him.
"Nah-ah-aah!" She shook her head mockingly, "You have to close your eyes and count to a hundred first!"
"He can't count to ten let alone a hundred."
Tyson whirled around to face Kai who was still almost like a statue.
He shrugged and turned again, then panicked and began frantically spinning his head in all directions looking for Taz.
"One..." Kai prompted, opening one eye.
"Uh, yeah sure," Tyson faltered, "One...two...three...erm...five? ...the one after that..."
Kai groaned and let his head fall back onto the cushions.
"Seven...eight...nine...err...Kai?" The ice prince turned, "What comes after nine?"
Kai's eye twitched, a red cross appeared on his forehead...

CRASH!

"SORRY!" Jo's worried sounding voice floated through the air.
"I have a bad feeling about this!" Tyson moaned, remembering the last thing Jo smashed.
Kai yawned, reluctantly pushed himself up off the sofa, and led the way into the kitchen.
"What exactly are you doing?" he raised an eyebrow.
"What-does-it-look-like?!" Jo's speech faltered slightly each time her nimble hands caught an airborne object.
"Why are you juggling with my Grandpa's cutlery?" Tyson was completely baffled.
Jo turned to Tyson with an irritated look on her face, which soon transformed into an evil smirk.
"Fine I won't do it anymore!" She retorted, simultaneously letting her arms fall to her sides, not flinching as each cup plummeted to the floor with an ear splitting crash.

"Hmm, where to put you..." Taz grinned at her captive, though being a spinning top it wasn't putting up much of a fight.
"Aah!" She skipped across the room. "Perfect!"
As the shiny white metal disappeared from view she stood back to admire her handiwork.
"That's it Taz, just act natural...he'll never know!" (A.N: Say NO to boring food!)
Hearing the crash downstairs, she knew Jo couldn't keep up the diversion for much longer.
"One down, one to go!" She grinned, skipping out of the room and bounding into another one down the corridor.

"Oopsie!" Jo didn't look the least bit sorry.
"It's O.K I'll just have to buy some new one's before Gramps gets back." Tyson shrugged, bending down to retrieve a dustpan from the cupboard.
"Well good luck," Kai's sarcasm wasn't lost on any of them, "I hear antiques don't come cheap."
He smirked as Tyson's face fell into a state of panic.

"Ooooooh! I like this one!" Taz grinned, carefully sliding the comic out of its protective plastic cover.
At her side, the "replacements" lay ready.
"Playboy? Tut-tut-tut, what would your mother say?" She grinned again as she replaced the last one on the shelf.
"Hmm, well...one little souvenir wouldn't hurt!" She danced around the room happily, peering into every box and shelf she came across.
Then her eyes came to rest on a familiar blue object on the floor.
Her puppy brown iris's gleamed brightly as her smile almost reached her ears.
She looked around carefully; was Rei still in the shower?
"Yoink!"

"Oh man, I'm so dead!" Tyson groaned resting his head in his hands.
"Sheesh! You never heard of superglue?!" Jo's surprise showed in her voice.
"You can't superglue two hundred year old family heirlooms!" Tyson burst out, grabbing Jo by the collar.

"Hey guys! What'd I miss?" Taz beamed at Tyson happily.
Tyson gawped at her in disbelief. "She made all that noise and you didn't hear?!"
"Maybe our friend is deaf?" Kai cut in, smirking at Taz.
"At least I'm not one can short of a six pack!" Taz stuck her tongue out again, then yelped as Kai leapt forward with a pair of pliers.
Jo and Tyson sweat dropped as Kai proceeded to chase Taz around the house.

"Shh!" Jo smacked Taz upside the head.
"What did I tell you about wife beatin' already?!" Taz snapped, "Anyway, I'm the computer genius so stand back and let my magic fingers do the job!"
Jo rolled her eyes.

"Dizzy?" Kenny frowned. "Hello? Dizzy?"
No response, not even a static shock.

"Come on Dizzy lets see what you can do!" Jo grinned as the laptop buzzed into life.
"O.K, O.K, you call yourself a girl, you punch keys like 'Tyson!"
"The boxer?" Jo looked baffled.
"No, the dumb kid!"
"Wow, smart and sarcastic, my kinda piece of plastic!" Jo smirked.

"Dragoon?" Tyson crawled out from under his bed. "Damn it she's good!"
"No luck?" Taz appeared in the doorway.
"O.K what'd you do with him?" Tyson demanded, standing to his full height, which reached her nose.
"You don't wanna know!" Taz giggled childishly.
A horrifying thought crossed his mind. "You didn't?! I can't go in there!"
Taz paused, then simply grinned stupidly and skipped away down the stairs.

The repetitive clicking of the game pads reverberated throughout the house. Pads?!
Jo looked to her left. When the hell did he get here?!
The screen bleeped.
He stole my beans!!!!!
She smirked evilly and licked her index finger.

Kai didn't flinch; he sat, still as a statue, one eye closed, the other on the screen, fingers tapping mechanically at the game pad.
Jo frowned disappointedly. Fine, I'll kick your ass the old fashioned way!

Player 1 has received a power bonus: hyper speed

The little yellow chomping circles sped across the screen.

Game over: Player 1 wins!

You have one new message:

Kai = LOSER!

Kai stared at the screen for a few moments then swivelled his head to glare at Jo.
"You're going down bitch!"
Jo shrugged. "Don't cry, suck on a lollypop!"

Taz: Tehe! Kai's a loser!!!
Jo: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! NO TIME FOR LOSERS! COS WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
Taz: sweat drops Uh, yeah, what she said...
