A/N: Thank you to CyanB for this lovely idea on chicken. :) Enjoy!
"What the hell are you eating Vakerian?" Commander Shepard said as she walked into the kitchen area of Normandy. She found the Turian eating something, it smelled delicious but the looks of it... not so much.
Shepard pulled out her favorite cereal, Shep's Cereal. It was her cereal, literally. Like promoting her favorite shops on the Citedal, she was on the box promotion the cereal, saying "This is my favorite cereal in the whole galaxy." She's just lucky that they changed the name from Commander Shepard's Favorite Cereal in the Whole Galaxy to Shep's Cereal. It was bit of a mouth full.
Garrus, looked up from his meal and said: "Well, good morning to you too, Commander."
Anastasia, having her inner child out (it was five o'clock in the morning, she was not ready for commanding duty, which by the way is at seven), suck her tounge at the Turian.
"So you going to tell me or not?" Ana said placing her bowel on the counter, on the other side of Garrus.
"It's chicken." He said simply, taking another bite of the so called chicken.
Ana raised an eyebrow, the cereal and milk on her spoon drop back into the bowel. "...You sure, Garrus? It doesn't look like chicken..."
"Well looks aren't everything now is it?" He states, taking another bite. "Besides, what is it you humans say... 'don't judge a book by it's cover'?"
"Well, for one thing. That's not a book." She pointed to his breakfast. "That's chicken, or that's what you say it is."
"It is chicken."
"Well the chicken that I had before in my thirty years...does not look like that." The so called chicken was large and red with black spots on it, and it was covered with some sort of gravy...or at least that's what Shepard thought it was.
"Well why don't you try it first, Commander." Garrus said cutting a slice of the meat, he stabbed it on his fork and pointed towards her. Her head jerked back a little bit, slowly moved her hand towards the piece of meat. She hesitated for a few seconds and then took the piece of meat, and put it in her mouth.
"Oh god..." She said making a face.
"Good isn't?"
Ana began to gag, quickly took the trash can from underneath the sink and began to spit out of the horrible tasting chicken.
Ana sticking her tounge out, making a disgusted face, started fanning herself with her hands and began jumping up and down.
"Good?! Chicken?!" She said, more like shouting, no longer caring that half the crew is still asleep. "Garrus, that is NOT chicken."
"But it tastes like chicken." He said making a hurt face.
"No, no it doesn't. I've had chicken before, and it doesn't taste like that! Oh god, that was disgusting..."
"What's going on here?" Liara said coming out from her room, in her white flannel pajamas that had penguins on them, she even wore the penguin slippers that had came with them, it was a gift from Shepard a few Christmas ago.
"Commander Shepard, says that this isn't chicken." Garrus said, slicing another peice of the meat and stabbing it with his fork and gesturing it to Liara.
"Because it's not." Shepard said.
Not arguing, for perhaps it was too early for her, Liara, took the piece of meat and ate it. No coughing, no gagging. She simply chewed, and swallowed.
Clearing her throat, Liara said. "Garrus, Ana's right. That's not chicken."
"Ha!" Ana said pointing her finger at Garrus.
"Then what is it?"
"Klixen." The blue asari simply stated.
"You mean those red giant things that like to shoot fire at us with their mouth, and explodem when we kill them? Those things?" Ana said, both her eyebrows raised.
"...Yes. May I go back to sleep?" Liara said stiffling a yawn.
"Yes. Just a reminder, you do need to wake up in..." Ana looked at her watch. "oh say half hour?"
"I hate you." Liara said walking back into her room.
"Love you too." Ana said looking back down at her cereal. "I lost my appetite..." She sighed and dumped the soggy cereal down the drawn. Before leaving she grabbed a granola bar and stuffed it in her N7 jacket.
"Good morning Garrus." Tali said walking towards the kitchen. "What's that?"
She took a small piece of the meat, opened her mask and ate it. "Hmmm...chicken!"
Garrus shook his head and laughed.
