A/N; another installment of 'Car Arguments'!
Disclaimer: don't own anything.
Kevin stared blankly out the car's fogged over windshield as if he could actually see the warehouse they were staking out in front of. He reached one finger out that was covered by his black glove and touched the windshield.
The fog melted away under his touch, leaving a small circle the size of the pad on his finger that showed the world outside. "So who wants to play hangman?" he asked, knowing that all three of them were bored absolutely senseless. He looked over at the passenger sear to see the redhead sitting there and out of the corner of his eye, he could see the Omnitrix bearer shivering in the backseat.
"I'm in," said Gwen immediately, a deep blue knit hat hugging her crown of scarlet hair. "No use just sitting here. Might as well keep ourselves so we don't die of boredom."
Ben snickered. "Count me in, Kev. Dying of boredom isn't how I want to go."
Kevin reached out slowly, still trying to keep warm in the icy air of the car. He drew his fingers across the windshield and three lines appeared quickly followed by two more after a space, then a single line and underneath all those he drew five more lines. Then he reached a little higher, slightly coming out of his seat to draw the hangman part of the game. Or at least the noose.
"I guess we should kind of be glad it's cold," said Ben from the backseat, "because if it was warm, we wouldn't have foggy windows to draw on." He stared long and hard at the puzzle Kevin had posed. Three letters, two letters, one letter, five letters.
"M," said Gwen confidently. She looked over at Kevin as he leaned forward a bit to draw in an M as the first letter of the last word.
"Kevin, does that last word happen to be 'moron'?" asked Ben with a cold glare at his raven-haired friend with the deep black earthen eyes as a sneaky, devilish smile possessed his lips. The dark teen didn't respond and Ben was forced to say, "Kevin..."
"Ben is a moron," laughed Gwen, leaning forward herself to help Kevin draw out the rest of the letters in the puzzle. It wasn't hard to get it if you had at least one word and knew the person who was writing it all too well. She kind of figured that he'd pick on her cousin to start something so that they weren't so bored.
"Am not," defended Ben with a snort.
The redhead didn't even acknowledge his words as she began to draw on her own window on the passenger side, neatly creating her own puzzle. She put up a long word, thirty letters.
Kevin's brow knit together. "Well screw this," he said, his smirk fading faster than the sun under a cloud. "I suck with big words. Quit showin' off your really big words."
"It's easy," she said, smiling at him. "It's a song."
Ben's smile grew again in the backseat. "."
"What the heck?" spluttered Kevin, his mind not even able to wrap around the word before Gwen was laughing and nodding and writing it out on the passenger side window, the tip of her gloved fingers drawing each letter out precisely and perfectly. "What does that mean?"
"You've never seen Mary Poppins?" chuckled Ben, looking at Kevin quizzically. "It's a movie. And on Broadway. And it's a massive franchise if you think about it. They got like a billion shirts with on them."
Kevin blinked and shook his head. "Never heard of it."
"Wow, someone's out of it," laughed Ben as he looked over Gwen's shoulder to see how she was spelling it. As soon as the last three letters were scrawled out, Ben immediately called out, "My turn!" and frantically got to work on the hangman on the back window.
As he was drawing it, he could faintly see through the fogged over windows and out to the snowy world that had enveloped the green and black striped muscle car. "Kevin?"
"Yeah?" asked the dark teen, turning back to look at the scrawny brunette.
"Why are there Forever Knights going through your trunk?"
Bolting from the car, a thin layer of jade green coated Kevin as his armor before he leapt at the two raiders of his trunk.
Gwen and Ben followed suit, ready for battle, knowing that the hangman game could wait.
A/N: they love hangman. Review please!
