She leaned against the dirty exterior wall of the Condor and took another puff. Let the fumes flow into her body and intoxicate her. No, she concluded. There's nothing better than this.

She knew it was bad for her, but Piper being Piper, she just had to try it. And she found out it was rather fun, too. Addicting, even. She couldn't believe she just found out about this...NOW.

Aerrow rounded the corning, talking to himself. He saw her, orange and white tube in her mouth, white smoke puffing outwards.

"OI!" He ran over. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Chill! Aerrow, what is it?" She took the cylinder out of her mouth and grinned. "We under attack?"

"You're...you're..."

"What? You want one?" She reached into her pocket.

"No, I do NOT want one!"

"So why are you so...high strung?"

"What do you think you're DOING? This is so stupid! You're the last person I'd expect to see-"

"What's all the commotion?" Finn opened the door and walked down onto the ground. "Wassup?"

"She's...she's..." Aerrow threw his arms up in exasperation. "Just look!"

"Whoa...And you didn't invite me?"

Piper shrugged. "Hey, I just got them. This is my first one. Pretty good, too."

"Oh, sweet. Can I have one?"

"What in Atmos are you two doing? Next you'll start recruiting Radarr!"

Piper and Finn both took a puff, then glanced at each other. "Nah," they said in unison. "He couldn't take it."

"Smoking is stupid! It ruin-"

Piper and Finn burst into laughter, shrieking and rolling around on the floor, clutching their sides. Finally, when they'd calmed down and Aerrow had settled his nerves, they stood and had one last chuckle.

"You thought we were...?"

"Smoking?"

Piper held the packet out. "Aerrow, this is GUM. They wrap it in orange and white paper to look like cigarettes, see?" She peeled the paper off of her tube. Pink, white powdered stuff was inside.

"But...there was...smoke..."

"Sugar, man. Just powdered sugar." Finn grinned. "You still gonna turn down the offer?"

Aerrow smiled. "We should totally do it in front of Stork and see what happens."

A little while later...

Piper, Finn, and Aerrow leaned against the Condor with casual grace, puffing away at their "cigarettes". Stork wandered by, arms laden with tools, mumbling about how the others never helped. Saw his friends, "smoking".

"IT'S MINDWORMS! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
