HOW NEAL BECAME MEATHEAD
Disclaimer: I don't own Neal, Dom, or Adalia, Kel's older sister. They belong to Tamora Pierce.I don't even own Meathead, I just expanded on the idea a little bit…
Neal sighed over his latest "conquest." There was Adalia of Mindelan, (Teehee) sitting there and TALKING to Dom! Neal itched to slap him, the flirt. Adalia giggled, and Neal felt his anger growing.
I wish I could throw something at him. Thought Neal. Vegetables! They're useless anyway. No, something more disgusting. Like…MEAT! Perfect.
There, four inches away from his hand, was a meatpie, just the thing to hurl at Dom. No one noticed Neal (Say that five times fast.) inch his hand towards the pie. He carefully lifted it and CHUCKED it at Dom.
Unfortunately for Neal, Dom, at that moment, decided to duck his head simply for the pure joy of ducking his head. The meatpie ricocheted of the wall and was speeding back towards Neal. Neal, unlike Dom, had no head-ducking reflex and the pie hit him square in the face.
Of course, this would be the moment that the pie would splatter, and poor Neal got a face full of meat. For some strange reason, no one noticed Neal's (again.) predicament except of course Adalia and Dom. Neal rushed out of the dining hall with his face in his hands.
Neal raced to the wash bin and washed and washed his face. Of course, to make things worse, Dom and Adalia had to follow him.
Adalia giggled. Damn! Thought Neal.
"Does Sir Meathead wish to escort Lady Adalia to her rooms?" Dom asked, his face straight but red from the effort to keep from exploding and splashing his organs all over Neal and making another mess. (Can you tell I have a …strange sense of humor?)
"I thank you, sir, but I'm sure Adalia would find your company more… pleasurable." Neal retorted.
"And cleaner too." Adalia replied as Neal stormed off.
"What can you expect? From a Meathead." Dom linked Adalia's arm and together they walked to Adalia's room, while Neal plastered a picture of Daine over Adalia's in his worship closet…
