"But What About The Tube Of Glue?"

"Yesterday, I swallowed food colouring," Reid states.

The GHP members are sitting around the main table at the same spots. Yet this time, they are munching on cheese and pepperoni pizzas for their dinner.

All the members perk up from their cheesy goodness and turn to the one who spoke with different degrees of bewilderment.

"I'm okay, but it feels like I dyed inside."

Jake lets out a horrified gasp, leaning forward to look at Reid. "Are you okay?!"

Jonathan proceeds to smack his forehead.

Kale has his eyes lifted up as he processes the pun. "'Died...' 'Dyed...'" His eyes light up in realization. "Ohhh!" He gazes at his former teammate. "I get it!"

"Clever pun there, Duke," Kailer exclaims from across the table, next to John.

John nods his head with a slight frown. "I at no time cogitated about that."

Sidney has a massive smile at Reid. "I liked that!" He raises Bubby Jr. with his free hand. "Bubby Jr. thinks it's funny too!"

Jake gawks at all of the chuckling members in horror. "Guys, he said he DIED!!!"

Brett places a calming hand on his shoulder. "Jake Dog, it's 'dyed' with a 'y,' not an 'i.' Besides, how could he have died and still be here?" He holds his hands out toward the jokester.

The goalie stays still as he rethinks of the joke. "Dyed...' Oh— 'Died...' Ohh— 'Dyed...' OHHH!!!" He nods his head vigorously. "So you didn't die!" He turns to Reid. "That's good, it didn't seem like you died."

"Don't worry, Jake Dog, everyone's alive here." Brett pats his back.

A bright smile appears on Jake's face. "Oh, goodie!" He then tears a slice of pepperoni pizza from the box and stuffs it whole in his mouth.

John stares at his eating style in appalled shock.

Kailer nods his head with pursed lips and a slightly disgusted expression at John. "That's precisely how I feel."

John turns to him. "Is he invariably characteristic of that?"

"Yes." He eyes the goalie, who is now stuffing two pizzas in his mouth at once. "Never has modified, never will modify."

John raises his eyebrows as he dips his head away from the sight. "Good grief."

"Good grief is correct." Kailer takes a small bite from his cheese pizza with his plastic fork.

Reid swallows the last bit of his crust and holds his dusty hands by his face. "Okay," he starts, "what's the difference between a piano, tuna fish, and a tube of glue?"

The members halt their eating and turn their attention to him again.

"You can tune a piano, but you can't piano a tuna!" Reid sing-songs with a kooky smile.

They all proceed to gawk at him and his nonsense.

"But what about the tube of glue?" Kailer asks with disappointment. "You referred to a tub of glue."

Reid throws his index finger at him. "I knew you'd get stuck on that!" He flashes him a mighty big grin.

Next to him, Kale begins cracking up, leaning back while clapping his hands together.

Kailer holds his head by his hand with a glare at the table. "Next time, Tavares, PLEASE, restrain me from engaging in Duke's nonsensical puns."

John nods his head while daintily cutting his a piece of pizza with a fork and a knife. "I will effectuate that bid, Yamamoto." He then drops his utensils and pushes him a glass bottle of original almondade. "Imbibe a dram of this beverage. It's revitalizing."
