both thought it was funny, so it's worth a shot at posting. Please R+R!

-------------------------------------------

It was a rather uneventful day on board the Massive. On the bridge,
Tallest Purple was content just to read a book, while his co-Tallest, Red,
boredly twisted a paperclip around to look like a blaster.

A loud snap rang sharply amid the electronic sounds of the consoles
operated by navigators, communications officers, and the like. The
antennae of the crew were aimed backwards
towards where the Tallests sat, eyes still on their monitors, as Pur gave
Red a dirty look. Red glanced at him
and dropped the two halves of the paperclip.

Red sighed boredly as Purple went back to his reading. He glanced around
the bridge for something to do when an idea hit him. He grinned
mischeviously and reached into a pocket in his robes, pulling out a clicky
pen. He knew very
well that Purple hated that clicky pen, and that's what made it so
amusing.

Pur's head snapped up when he heard the clicks behind his antennae. He
narrowed one eye and growled, "Oh no, not that infernal clicky pen...RED!"
He turned to glare at his friend. Red just snickered at his expression and
continued to click the pen. Pur's face twitched. Then he snapped. "That's
IT! You never let me read in peace when you're bored! How could you
possibly find it amusing?!" Red just shrugged and gave him an infuriating
smile. "It's even funnier when you get mad..." "ARGH! You're impossible!
I'm--I'm going to my chambers! Just to get away from that pen..." With
that, he quickly hovered away from the bridge.

~*~*~

Purple muttered to himself as he searched the vast shelves of books in his
room for something to read. Damn that annoying clicky pen...Why is it that
Red gets such a kick of annoying him with it? Perhaps Red would find
something better to do if the pen was gone...

Pur chuckled to himself as he continued to idly search for a book. He
really should get rid of that infernal pen...

He stopped his pointless search for a book and headed out into the
hallway. He heard yelling from further down the hall, and went to
investigate.

Purple peeked into the officers lounge and saw Red fighting with the
vending machine.

"Aww, come on, you stupid thing! I'm hungry!" Red kicked it and immediatly
regretted it. "YEEOW!" he yelped, and, forgetting his hover belt, hopped
around on one foot while clutching the other.

Purple snickered, and noticed the pen that flew out of Red's pocket due to
his pained hopping. He quickly snatched it up and stuffed it in his
pocket, then returned to watching Red in amusement.

Finally the pain started to lessen, so Red let his foot go and kicked on
his hover belt. He glared at the vending machine again, and checked for
either change or a candy bar. He sighed and shook his head, then noticed
Purple, who was watching him with half-lidded eyes and an antenna cocked
to the side in amusement.

"Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine," he snickered, and
Red just glared. "Hmph." Red then turned and hovered angrily out the door.

Purple smirked as Red left. He patted the pocket that held the evil clicky
pen, and then left for his own chambers.

~*~*~

The next day was just as boring as the last--so far, anyway. Purple was
again trying to read as Red slurped his soda noisily. At least it isn't
that clicky pen... Pur mused.

A beep from the communications console got the Tallests' attention. A
green-eyed comm-op (communications operator)looked panicked before he
realized it was just the console before him.

Lowering his antennae sheepishly, he answered the call, then nervously
turned to the Tallests. "My lords, there is an important document you have
to sign, and it seems like the legislature was in a bit of a hurry
because..." He pressed a button, and a plastic tube with a rolled up piece
of paper in it flew out, hitting Purple in the face.
"AGGH! Ow! I think it broke something!" He clutched his face as Red
laughed hysterically.

As Pur continued to complain, Red leaned down to pick up the tube. "Ohh,
paper!" he cried and whipped out another clicky pen. Purple noticed this,
and forgot the pain in his face entirely. "How did you...when?!" Red
looked at him, puzzled, then looked at the clicky pen in his claws.
"Oh, this...I got a new one! My other one went missing yesterday, so I
went to get another." Pur blinked at him, then sighed. "So all my hard
work went to waste...." He snapped his fingers in disappointment.

Red looked at Purple, realization creeping up on him. "You broke my clicky
pen?" Pur gave him a sly look. "Maybe..." "EHH!" Red waved his arms
angrily, and Pur finally snapped. "It had to be done! That's all you did
on the bridge! Take out that stupid pen and CLICK IT! CLICKY CLICKY
CLICKY! It got annoying! So I stole it and broke it! Now I'm going to do
the same to that one!" With that, he dived at Red. "AHHH!" Red tried to
run, but was tackled from behind.

They fought over the pen, and were eventually pulled apart by several
guards. The two Tallest glared at each other, then noticed that the pen
was sitting on the floor between them, all nice and shiny and not-broken.
"Evil pen!" Purple yelled and tried to go after that pen again, but was
held back by the guards.

The guards looked slightly worried as Purple yelled at the pen
hysterically. "I think you need rest, my Tallest." he offered. They then
dragged him off towards his quarters.

Red watched them go, then quickly snatched up his pen. The comm-op stepped
up nervously. "The document...?" Red waved a claw dismissively. "It can
wait. I need to go hide this..." He then hovered off to his own chambers,
leaving a rather confused comm-op behind.

Slightly lame ending, but I can't believe what I can write at 2:43 A.M.
Eastern time. Well, please tell me what you think.
