Yes, I DO want to miss it!

Tiny MST3K ficlet.  I think.  Mostly written to get off my mind the idea of  a MST3K prose story that ends in a MiSTing. 


Just over the rush of the shower, Mike heard a persisant bangs at the bathroom door.  "What?"

"Mike, you've already used your water rasion for the day and I'm not going to give you mine again."  Joel called out from the other side of the door.

"It hasn't been ten minutes yet!"

"You have the hot water all the way up, that means eight minutes."

"There's only one setting!" Mike protested.

"If you don't come out of there in thirty seconds, I'm coming in there with you."

"I don't belive you." Mike said as he scrubbed the last of the shampoo. from his hair.

"Twenty seconds!"

"You can try, but the door's locked."

"Ten  seconds."

Mike finaly gave in and turned the water off.  "Happy now?"

"Not really." Joel said, this time from the other side of the curtin. 

Mike jumped at the sound of the other man's voice and quickly breaced himself on the shower's wallss before he fell out of the shower  "I think you made you point.  Could you hand me a towel?"

Joel paused a momnet before handing him a towel.  "You know, if I really wanted to make a point I'd make you come out here to get it."

Wrapping the towel around his waist, Mike stepped out of the shower.  "And I'm glad you didn't.  How did you get in here anyway?"

Joel picked up Mike's clothes from the sink and put his clothes in their place.  "I installed a new lock with a key after the 'bots used all the hot water."

"Ah."

"Yeah." Joel said as gave Mike his clothes and propelled him out the door. "Can't live with them, can't live without them." And relocked the door behind him.

Mike later on repaid the favor by using all the hot water everytime he took a shower for the next three months.
