"Forte?" said Mint. "You've got plugs in your ears."

"What?" said Forte.

"You've got plugs in your ears!" Mint said again.

"What?" Forte said again.

"I SAID," Mint said, "YOU'VE GOT PLUGS IN YOUR EARS!!"

"I can't hear you," Forte said. "I've got plugs in my ears."

"Why?" Mint asked, as Forte pulled out the plugs. "Were you protecting your hearing during your target-shooting?"

"That," Forte said, "and Ranpha got asked out on a date, and when she gets back, she's gonna want to tell us all about it."

"Do you have a spare set of earplugs?" Mint asked hopefully.
