   "So, it has come to this." Ash wondered, his voice void of any emotions while his green eyes reflected onto dark sunglasses.

   "We both knew it would happen, just not so soon." Shorter stood strong before his best friend. The two gang leaders were ready to face each other with everything they had, neither backing out. "So you won't back out."

   "Never. You?" Shorter swore and Ash scoffed, this Lynx isn't going down by anyone but himself and - speaking of one other person, at that moment the doors of the room launched open. "Ash! Shorter! What's happening, why are you fighting!?" Eiji ran inside the room, Alex, Bones, and Kong following with anxious expressions and joining other gang members at the corner of the room. Eiji standing in front of them worried and panting for breath.

   "He started it!" Ash pointed at Shorter in accusing manner, other puffed offended "Did not!" Ash turned to face him again "Did too!" Shorter leaned back in "I didn't!" Ash growled "You did! You and your sunny-side-up! How can you even eat it like that!? You're practically drinking the yolk, which is just nasty!" Shorter gasped "How dare you? The yellow thing is the best part of eating eggs! You just have no taste." he turned his head away "Humph." and Ash snorted.

   "Sorry, i have taste buds, unlike someone." Ash mocked. At this point, Eiji and the rest of the room were frozen stiffs. Their mind processing the reason for the 'fight' they all came running to stop, Alex and Eiji were shocked the most. The 2nd in the command immediately ran to get Eiji when he got a text saying his boss and boss of Chinatown are arguing and it's heating up. He thought that was the only way to prevent bloodshed, but now, he was feeling really disappointed, not because there was no fight, to begin with, but that his boss is arguing over something so silly. Not that he will ever say it, he wants to continue living, thank you very much, Eiji on the other hand, didn't seem to have that problem and quite visibly face-palmed. "You're fighting over... types of cooking eggs," he muttered and both sides immediately shuffled next to him, ready to defend themself. 

   "Eiji! Can you imagine drinking yolk?!" Shorter was quick to retort "Oh, shut up! It's healthy!" They continued to bicker until Eiji turned around, a vine popping out of his temple "You two." He called, and the room fell silent "Get out." He pointed at the doors, "Don't come back until you both got over your silly arguing."

And two hours later, Ash and Shorter were watching the sun go down. "Maybe Yolk isn't that disgusting, though I'm never trying it." Shorter shrugged "Fair enough, can we go back now, I'm cold." Ash sighted "Hopefully, yeah."

And in counclussion Ash Lynx vs. Shorter Wing = scolding Eiji.
