Disclaimer: I do not own Toy Story.

A/N I would like to thank everyone that has reviewed, sent a suggestion, added this story to alert, added to favourites or have even taken time to read it. What would I do without y'all?

Yeah, so I would've carried on with the last chapter here, but then this idea came to my head and just wouldn't leave me alone! So, yeah, I shall carry on with that next chapter:) A/N

"So," Hamm began to murmur as his eyes fixed on the Checker's board with absolute determination. "As I was saying, the water in the sea is undrinkable to humans because of the concentrated content of dissolved salts."

Slinky's eyes grew wide in disbelief over Hamm's fact.

"But how can that be true?" Slinky asked. He may not be a smart dog, but he sure did know that humans needed water in order to live. And, knowing that this was the case, he couldn't help but wonder why they couldn't drink sea water? Wouldn't it do the exact same job as normal water?

Hamm moved his board piece over one of Slinky's, in order to eliminate it from the game.

Works every time. Hamm mentally remarked, fully understanding that he knew the exact tricks to winning the game. You just bring up useless facts, and they'll either leave shortly, therefore forfeiting the game over, or they will either be too stunned to even think properly. As if they just couldn't bring themselves to ever believe that the facts could be true in a million years. It just wasn't theoretically possible, was it?

"It just is," Hamm answered, trying to give away as little information as possible in hope that Slinky would question the matter further; The Piggy-Bank's expectations were met.

"But how?" Slinky asked as he moved one of his Checkers across the board in a half-hearted movement. The Slinky dog was a bit too interested, as to what Hamm had to say next, to even consider thinking over his moves properly. It was all a natural instinct, of which had taken over the toy dog completely; as if fate was just desperate for him to lose. But Slinky had every move drilled into him. He didn't think it over and her certainly didn't look it over either; he just followed it through. Whether the moves were safe or not was an entirely different matter, a matter that could wait until Slinky heard what the Piggy-Bank had to say.

"Well, first if all: The water will taste dusgusting; we have no idea what the fish have done in there-" Hamm began, but cut himself off when he saw he effect this had on Slinky. By this time, Slinky had placed a paw on his mouth as his cheeks filled themselves up with hot air. And, for those few moments, he feared he was going to be sick, until he remembered the fact that they were toys; they couldn't be sick. So, clearing his throat out, he swallowed a deep mouthful air.

Hamm was pretty much sighing and rolling his eyes the entire time, mainly because of the fact that Slinky's brief scene had only lasted a few moments.

"Finished?" Hamm asked expectantly as his gaze narrowed out of pure tiredness. He really just wanted to win already.

Feeling the heat rise within the tips of his cheeks, Slinnky nodded urgently; makign a mental note to never, ever do that again.

"Well, continuing on from what I said, lastly: Human's aren't supposed to drink the salt water because their kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water they drink. And this therefore means, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking salt water, you have to urinate more water than you drank."

"And..." Slinky asked expectantly, unsure of what Hamm was indicating, having not understood what Hamm really meant yet either. "What does this do?"

"This means that the human will die from dehydration." Hamm answered simply, in a know-it-all tone.

Slinky pondered over this fact for a few moments, before he cringed.

"So...they pee themselves to death?"

For some reason, Slinky seemed socked that this question seemingly caught Hamm off guard.

However, during Hamm's previous statement, they had each moved a total of three times. Hamm, having eliminated one of Slinky's tokens every time, couldn't help but smile at the site of the Checker's board. There were three red tokens left, and seven black tokens left.

It was kind of obvious who the red tokens belonged to...

"Yep." Hamm answered simply as he waited for Slinky to make his next move. If Hamm hadn't been so determined to hide the trick he was currently pulling, then he may have groaned when he realized that the token Slinky had moved was now safe.

"Well...what would the salt do to you on its own?" Slinky asked out of plain curiosity as his eagerness rose.

Wow, it really did seem like Hamm knew everything that day.

"Well, too much salt for you is bad in its own way..." Hamm murmured distantly as he calculated the Checker's board, considering what move he should take next.

"How?"

"The intake of too much salt can lead to fatigue, illness, and even death."

"Really?" Slinky asked, his eyebrows arching in amazement. "Salt can do that just on its own?"

"Mmm hmm," Hamm murmured as Slinky made his next move. Yes!

Hamm simply removed Slinky's token from the board - Seven:two in Hamm's favour.

"So...how much salt can do that?"

Okay...so this maybe wasn't a question that the Piggy-Bank knew exactly, but he'd sure give it an approximate guess.

"Oh, I say around 5000mg a day for a few weeks straight could do just the trick." Hamm answered, even though he had no idea if his calculations had been correct or not, and before he even knew it, it was his turn again.

Another token down for the Slink dog. One more to go and then he's secrued the win!

"Is that a lot?"

"Oh yeah."

Slinky seemed astounded by these facts; he just couldn't believe it. So, it wasn't long before he found himself asking. "Is all salt bad?"

"Well, if you overdose on it, then yes. Otherwise, you should be safe with table salt and stuff like that. But not everything."

Slinky took his go, barely even aware that he was moving his paw in the slightest.

Yes!

With a final swift motion, Hamm secured his win; but he didn't dare smile yet.

"Well..." He began to murmur. "I have enjoyed this conversation with you today and I wish you all the best."

Barely even leaving Slinky time to seem completely confused, Hamm then darted out from underneath Bonnie's bed; feeling rather boastful over his previous win.

Oh yes, his plan worked every time.

Meanwhile

Slinky arched an eyebrow in the direction Hamm had just disappeared off in, before he shook his head; dismissing the thoughts.

However, it was when he looked down at the Checker's board, that he really began to look confused.

The board was completely empty apart from seven black counters.

Where had all his tokens gone?

A/N Rex and Hamm are probably OOC, I know. And having a conversation over salt is a bit weird for Toy Story. But, oh well...

Feel free to send a review or a suggestion if you want!

Oh, and I really can't believe the ending to the new Dr Who series 6 episode the 'Day of the Moon'. Was that unexpected or what? (To those who have watched it of course, lol ^_^)
