How to End a Pointless Argument


Aisha stood with her hands on her hips yelling at Suzuka about how she was right because she was a Ctarl-Ctarl. And of course they were never wrong.

Jim just sighed. It was always like this with those two. Aisha would say something stupid, Suzuka would correct her and then they would get into a pointless argument. Well at least Aisha would, Suzuka would just sit there calmly drinking her tea like always. 'Why do I always have to deal with these idiots? It's not fair.' He thought to himself whining.

As usual Gene and Melfina were gone somewhere. No one ever knew where they went, but they were always told that if they followed there would be a caster shell with their name on it. 'They're probably off somewhere making out.' Jim thought shuddering. 'Gross.'

Just then he was brought out of his thoughts by Aisha's yelling. "Of course I'm right. Just admit it Suzu." Aisha said using the hated nickname. "Just say I'm right so we can end this."

Suzuka just looked at her and shook her head sadly. 'Honestly won't she ever learn?' "Look Aisha. How many times do I have to tell you, I will not get into a childish argument with you? So you might as well just be quiet."

Meanwhile Jim was trying not to pull his hair out in frustration. 'Why does Gene even let these two stay with us?' He wondered. 'All they ever do is argue.' Suddenly Aisha started to growl and Jim flinched. 'If Gene comes back and Aisha's destroyed the ship he'll blame me.' He thought frantically. 'What do I do, what do I do?'

Seeing a frying pan he quickly grabbed it and hit Aisha over the head, effectively knocking her out before she could provoke Suzuka any further. Standing over her prone form, his eyebrow twitching, Jim set the pan down. "What am I going to do with you guys?" He whined. "All you ever do is try to get on each others nerves. This is the third time this week that I've had to knock her out." He said exasperated.

Suzuka just smirked into her tea cup. "Yes, but it is quite funny watching her twitch on the ground."

Glaring at her Jim narrowed his eyes. "Well I wouldn't have to do that to her" He said waving his hand over Aisha's body. "if you'd stop trying to instigate fights. Seriously you two act like mere children."

Snorting, Suzuka sipped her tea. "I do nothing of the sort. I simply let her know when she is wrong."

"Yeah, knowing that it pisses her off and she'll start a fight." Jim bit out.

"I'm only being helpful, can I help it if she takes it the wrong way." Suzuka said innocently.

"Ugh…you two will be the death of me yet." Picking back up the frying pan Jim whacked Suzuka over the head before placing it back on the stove. "Maybe that'll teach you two to stop fighting." He said to the, now two, twitching bodies on the floor." Smirking he went back over to the couch to finish his book in blissful silence, well at least until they woke up and he had to run for his life. Sure they deserved what they got, but man did they get pissed afterwards. And boy did he have some nice bruises to prove it.
