Coke or Pepsi?

Summary:

A goth blond grimaced at cardboard-bound crap his auburn friend had selected, "Solnishko, this is for girls."

Solnishko sought out an expert, "Lisa!"

A brunette looked up from a menagerie of mysteries, "What's up, sunshine?"

"Clyde says this is for girls. He said it like that's bad, but I think it's a compliment cuz the only people who read more than you and Shawna are me and Lenny—and I cheat cuz I speed read—so girls must know a good book better than boys."

"Oh, you know Clyde," Lisa scoffed. "He'll come up with any excuse avoid R-E-A-D-I-N-G."

Intensity scrunched the younger Mardon's face, "Red's a color, not a verb!"

"Oh my god, Clyde, I spelled 'reading'!" Lisa rolled her eyes. She skimmed through the pages and snickered, "If this is the book you want, you're more than welcome to it. Why don't you go pick out another one to go with it since it's so short?"

"Okay!" Solnishko buzzed away excitedly.

Clyde stared at Lisa until she explained, "I know what you're trying to say, but he doesn't really understand 'guy stuff' and 'girl stuff'. Just humor him, okay?"

Notes:

Your favorite STAR Blazers characters answer questions from The Ultimate Coke or Pepsi? by Mickey & Cheryl Gill. Each chapter's a different character; each chapter contains the same questions.

This is most likely suitable for general audiences except for language in Clyde's chapter.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Mick

Summary:

Solnishko returned from the bookshop with a bounce in his step, so Mick put dinner on pause to ask, "Whatcha got there, Cub?"

"A quiz book!" Solnishko chirped, then became dejected. "It'd be evil for you to answer the questions cuz it says it's for friends, not family."

Mick harrumphed, "Would you say Lenny and Lisa are friends with Lewis?"

"No."

"Well, the difference is that our family's friendly," Mick smiled. "A proper family is friends with each other, and we're a proper family."

Solnishko looked up at Mick like his older brother found a cure for cancer. That settled it; Mick had to take the quiz now.
