“Huuutcchhhhhh! Hutch! I want ice cream.” An anguished Starsky yelp.

“Aww, no you don’t.” Hutchinson scowl.

“It’s hot!”

“Drink. Water.” Hutchinson squint.

“Eat. Ice Cream.” Patented Starsky chuckle.

“Starsk. C’mon, man up, will ya?” A teasing, impatient cuff to those dark curls.

“Y’know there’s a town in Kansas called `Hutchinson’?” Zealous Starsky.

“And – ?”

“It’s probably hot there, too. `N they have tornadoes. Tornadoes, Hutch. Big Midwest Wind. And–”

“Arggh. First ice cream. Then silence. Right?”

“Yah.” Charming Starsky eyebrow wiggle.

“Done.”

*Damn Hutch, watch me play you like a fiddle*

*Damn Starsk, I so have your number.*
