"Oh, yes, you are definately VERY funny-looking," Arianna replied, trying to hide her own smile behind the tongue she stuck out at the boy. "We need a new nickname for you now cuz just plain Stretch doesn't fit anymore."

Drew showed her how funny-looking he could be by pulling on his ears and blowing out his cheeks while crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue.
"So what's wrong with Stretch?" he asked when his face started hurting.

Arianna couldn't hold back her giggles. Drew's face just looked too...odd.
"I think you've outgrown it," she claimed when she had settled down. "Too tall, I think. Stretch wasn't as tall as you, was he?"

"Hold on... there was another Stretch?" Drew asked, giving her an odd look. As far as he knew he was the only one by that name. No one else could possibly use it besides him.

"Yeah..." Arianna nodded. Drew should have known there was another Stretch. Or so she thought. "You know. Fantastic Four? The doctor guy who could stretch himself out? Haven't you ever read a comic book?"

Hadn't he ever read a comic book... silly question. Of COURSE he had read comic books. he just hadn't thought of super hero guys in this instance.
"Oh, THAT guy? He doesn't count!" Drew answered.

"He doesn't?" Arianna asked, her nose scrunched up. It had been the only Stretch she knew of. Who else was tall enough to fit the name? Hiro, maybe, but Arianna had never thought to call HIM Stretch. "Why not? Cuz he's not real?"

"Sure, why not?" Drew agreed, thinking that was as good a reason as any. He had never particularly cared for the name Stretch (any more than he really belived Ari liked the names he called her), but still, it was kind of special when she used it and he didn't want anyone else taking it.

"I can't call you The String Bean, can I?" Arianna questioned, though she didn't care for the name herself. Drew wasn't THAT skinny. But it lead her to think of a few otheres that, while not quite fitting, were a bit funny. "MR. Bean. Lima Bean. Black Bean. Pinto Bean." She rattled off a few more names, grinning to let Drew know she was kidding.

"You DO know that's kind of derogatory for people of my ethnic heratige and background, don't you?" Drew asked smugly, though he doubted Ari was meaning it that way.
Not that he even looked Mexican...

Arianna's face dropped. She had a moment of confusion and couldn't figure out what Drew was talking about. One point for the Dumb Blonde Moments.
"Oh...the Pinto Bean?" she questioned hesitantly.

"I'm just giving you a hard time," Drew told her, seeing her face fall and wondering if things had degenrated so far that they couldn't even tease like that any more. He knew that he had had some sensitive moments in the past year or so, but still, he had known she was just kidding this time.

"I know," Arianna claimed, giving him a small smile. She disliked blonde moments for this very reason. If you don't understand the joke, it's not funny and the whole mood could go off. "I just didn't get it at first."

Drew shrugged back, letting her know there was no offence intended or taken. "How about we just stay away from any kind of bean references, okay?" he asked with a grin.

"Sounds good, Stretch," Arianna replied with a definate nod and a smile. She shifted in her chair and set her book aside. It now looked as though she wouldn't get any work done now and she didn't care much at all.
