"Ow!" Z shook her hand repeatedly, trying to wipe out the sting of the hundreds of scratches she's received from the plastic needles on the tree. "Sky!" She called in exasperation. "Check the box again. I think they gave us the wrong pieces for this stupid thing. The branches on the top are too long. I knew I should have had Syd or Bridge handle this while I took Jack shopping." She continued muttering under her breath.
"The problem is that you have put the wrong branches in the wrong place. According to the directions, the branches with the red tape at the base go on the bottom of the tree."
"There are directions?"
"There are."
"And you actually read them?"
"You do know that you're supposed to read the directions if you don't know how to do it?"
"Only if you're a geek, Sky!" Z said, indignity ringing in her voice. "We real men and women do things the old-fashioned way... we figure it our for ourselves."
"I see. And that would be why the tree is looking so..." Sky searched for the right word, and settled for tilting his head and letting his expression speak for itself.
Z leaned her head back in the same direction, finding that, unfortunately, the tree did look better from this angle. She glanced back at her companion and saw the smirk on his face.
"Oh, just shut up and hand me the stupid directions."
