Drabble #9: Familiar Arguments
"Tucker, I don't get why you eat that disgusting garbage you call meat!"
"Garbage? I didn't know the definition of garbage until you forced me to eat one of your ultra-recyclo vegetarian mud pies!"
"At least I don't kill innocent animals just for food in my stomach!"
"It's the cycle of life, Sam! The food chain! We're supposed to eat meat! Meat eats meat!"
"But it's not the cycle of life when humans murder animals excessively!"
Danny sighed and sat back in his chair at the Nasty Burger. He and his two friends Sam and Tucker had decided to get lunch at the fast food restaurant. However, Sam had questioned why Tucker kept eating a lot of meat every time they had walked in the restaurant door. Tucker responded defensively, one thing led to another, and soon they were having a full blown argument. Again. So Danny was caught in the middle. Again. People would have stared, but since it was "those geeks" no one bothered.
Danny had learned to ignore the fights. They came up every time Sam or Tucker asked the other why they ate what they did- which was quite often. It did get annoying, though, because it was the same argument on the same topic. Heck, they even used the same reasons, and sometimes the same wording!
Their fights did bring back a feeling of comfort. Danny had thought it was weird that he would get security from his friends arguing. But their arguments were always the same. It was one of the few things that had stayed the same since the accident in his parent's lab.
"Meat is needed for protein!"
"Vegetables supply the same amount of protein as meat!"
He smiled to himself. Some things never change.
A/N: Wow! I haven't written anything and posted it in over a month! I did mean to write when I got back from the South Pacific (which was awesome), but I never got around to it. Blah. I'm afraid I've got Sam OOC. Anyways, review and tell me what you think!
