Ratigan was cleaning the breakfast table (ordered by Isabelle) with a sponge when Lily came in, talking on the phone with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Dammit, Maxine, I need a little more time with this book. That's all." she said. From what Ratigan knows, Maxine was her editor and was described by Isabelle as a bull of a woman. Lily saw and smirked.

"Hang on, Maxine." she said, then putting the phone down, "You missed a spot."

"Where?" Ratigan asked.

"Here." she said, then suddenly spilling some coffee on the table. Ratigan snarled at her, which Lily just smirked at. Lily then turned around, going back to her conversation and settling her cup down.

Ratigan glared at her and then quickly wiped the coffee with the sponge. Then very quietly, he squeezed the sponge over Lily's cup. He then watched as Lily took the cup again and took a sip, immediately spitting it out.

"What the fuck is..." she shrieked, then seeing Ratigan with a rather satisfied look on his face. She leaned over to face him and glared at him.

"Its on." she said, making Ratigan nod.

"War it is, my dear."

AN: And here we have our two adversaries, Lily and Ratigan, declaring war!

I got the sponge idea from a The Nanny episode I saw, with CC and Niles, since theses two r like that with each other.

Place your bets, who would win, Lily or Ratigan?

Anyway, enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own GMD, just Lily and Maxine.
