"Do you think Pookie is lonely?" Duo asked as he perused the next day's itinerary wrapped up in a fuzzy bathrobe.
Heero twitched and kicked the cabin's fridge closed and opened up his bottle of water. "Quatre said he'd take care of it like one of his own."
"Ew. I hope not," Duo wrinkled his nose. "Q-ball and Tro have one of their own, and sharing things like that is sorta gross."
Privately, Heero agreed, but did not voice it, since any agreement would have Duo thinking that he was... approving of keeping it as their own, or something equally frustrating. "It can't feel emotions anyway. The question is moot."
"Heero! Don't say that! Pookie has emotions just like everyone else! He just expresses them in a different way."
"I don't like when it expresses itself in the first place."
------------------------
In a dark corner of a room, Pookie waited, laying limp and bereft. Its toys were gone and it was displeased.
