"Pinterest " Duo stood before the giant reclining Gundam and scratched his head. For some inexplicable reason, a muscle beneath his eye began to twitch. “You did what?” Quatre’s head appeared around the mecha’s massive hip plate and he blinked at his braided friend. “I repurposed Sandrock.” Duo stared at the vast array of colorful flowers that were now blooming in abundance out of every possible crevice, nook, and cranny of the mobile suit. And was that a pear tree growing out of the cockpit? “Uh huh.” He craned his neck at the sound of rushing water and spotted a cascading waterfall that flowed out from a spigot that was wedged in the Gundam’s mouth and drifted down over its chin, into a waiting hand, and then down into a small retention pond. “Are those carp?” He asked as he gazed down into the pool where a few dozen fish swam beneath the surface that was littered with water lilies. Quatre stepped around Sandrock’s elbow and stood next to Duo, drying his hands on a rag. “Goldfish. Carp aren’t very decorative.” “Uh...huh. And…why did you do this?” The blond shrugged. “Seemed more energy efficient than detonating it. This way, we get to give back to the environment.” He shot Duo a sunny grin. “Pretty, isn’t it?” Duo grunted and propped his hands on his hips. “If you say so, buddy.” In a way, it was a genius idea and he wondered why he hadn’t thought of it. And Quatre was right. It was more energy efficient. “Where did you get the idea to do this?” “Pinterest.” “Pin what?” “Pinterest. It’s an online pinboard. Lots of ideas for upcycling and repurposing projects. You might want to check it out.” “Quat, I’m not going to start growing flowers out of my discarded scrap parts.” The blond nodded and turned away, clearing a clump of algae away from the pond’s filter. “It’s just as well. That site is pretty addicting.” Later that night… Hilde shuffled into Duo’s tiny office, yawning and running a sleepy hand through her short hair. “Babe, what are you doing? It’s three in the morning.” Duo sat in his chair, his wide eyes glowing in the light from the computer monitor. “Hey, Hilde. Check this out. You can make flower planters out of old tires. We have lots of old tires.” Hilde leaned forward and peered over his shoulder. “Are you on Pinterest?” “Yeah…” She rolled her eyes and left the room. “Oh, wonderful. I’m going back to bed.”
