The Challenge

Satanira

Tsukino Usagi sat in the middle of the living room floor, large bits of metal and plastic scattered in a rough semi-circle in front of her. Her usually careless and clueless expression had been replaced by a small frown of concentration, and in her hand she held a small piece of paper.
Sitting on the sofa not three feet away was Usagi's little brother, Shingo. He watched with evident amusement as Usagi's frown deepened.
"C'mon, nee-chan," Shingo taunted. "I thought you were good at this!"
"Leave me alone, you little ameoba." Usagi snapped distractedly, her attention shifting from the paper to the pieces in front of her. "I'll figure it out, just you wait. Then you'll be sorry..."
"Sure I will." Shingo agreed sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Putting the paper down, Usagi selected two pieces of metal from the six provided and very, very slowly attached them. With a faint click, they connected, and she chose a third, which also fit.
"I think I've got it now," She muttered, snagging one of the plastic pieces. "I'm gonna make you wish you'd never challenged me, ya monkey."
Unfortunately, the plastic piece refused to fit, no matter where she tried.
"Looks like you spoke to soon, nee-chan." Shingo said, grinning openly at his older sister's discomfort. "Sure you don't want some help?"
"Positive, Shin-rii." Usagi snapped, using her despised nickname for the little worm on the sofa.
"Don't call me Shin-rii!" Shingo yelled, just as Usagi was sure he would.
Her need for revenge satisfied, Usagi went back to her puzzle and completed it in short order.
"You must have cheated." Shingo stated flatly, staring in disbelief at the completed model. "There's no way a meatball head like you could have finished it that fast."
"If wisdom grew on trees, you would be a bush." Usagi teased, smiling smugly. "Anything is possible, with the right motivation. Now, little brother, I believe you owe me two cheeseburgers and a root beer float."fun to play with Duo's mind.


This was my first try. I know; it sucks. Amanosai puts me to shame.
