Dexter smirked. Ben was walking in. Perfect.

"Think fast, Benjamin!" he yelled over the intercom. Paintballs flew at hyper speed at Ben, whose eyes widened in confusion. The guns splattered him with different colors of paint, from red to silver and all in between. Dexter cackled to himself as he watched Ben's jacket and skin get splashed with rainbows and drip paint. The guns stopped as soon as Dexter pressed the halt button, and Ben shook his head, hair flinging globs of paint everywhere. Dexter came out of his CO* and strode to Ben. He stood a good few feet away, for Ben was surrounded by a moat of colors that would surely stain his lab coat and boots. Dexter chuckled at the damage.

"Dexter," Ben growled. Dexter smirked.

"Yes, Benjamin?" Dexter mused.

Ben wiped paint off his eyelids and lips and cracked into laughter. "Nice one!"

They laughed hysterically for a few moments before Ben stopped. "Was that all you needed me for? Target practice?"

Dexter shrugged. "Well...yes. I couldn't do it to anyone else, so I thought you'd get a kick out of it."

Ben nodded. "I did. Oh, man. I got to show Mandy." He turned and hurried out the door; Dexter had a crooked smile on his face while he went back to his study and started to work on a project.

"Ben?" Mandy began with a sigh. "Why are you covered in paint?"

Ben smiled at her goofily. "Dexter." Mandy's confused face made him laugh. "He needed a release, and it just so happened that assaulting me with paintballs was it."

"Ah."

It was at that point that Billy stumbled in, paint splattered on him, also. "Guys, guys, guess what?" he exclaimed.

"Dexter," both said in unison. Billy gasped.

"How'd you know?" he gaped.

"Because he did the same to me," Ben laughed.

"Mandy, look at thi-" a voice cried. Dee Dee dashed in with paint dripping from her dress. She was heavily coated in pink paint. Ben laughed and pointed at her.

"Dexter's crazy!" he shouted, giggling.

Dexter, in his CO, was laughing to himself. "Well, back to work," he chimed. He picked up a wrench and tightened a bolt on his latest project.
