Strong Mad sat and stared intently at the egg on his desk, in the same position he'd been in for the last four days. The egg was lying under a lamp, because Strong Sad had said that it would die if it was too cold. Strong Bad had told Strong Mad not to listen to Strong Sad because he was a traitor, but in Strong Mad's experience, Strong Sad was usually right.

Strong Bad crept up behind Strong Mad and snapped his singlet. Strong Mad didn't appear to notice.

"Hey!" said Strong Bad, poking him in the back. "Crap for brains!"

Strong Mad said nothing. Strong Bad ground his teeth. He was in a bad mood, partly because his head was growing, but mostly because both his best friend and his little brother had let him down, and now his big brother was acting stupid. He was running out of friends.

Strong Sad entered with a tray of food, which he set on Strong Mad's desk.

"Hey Strong Mad, I brought you some—" he began, before Strong Bad pushed him roughly against the wall. "Hey!"

"Oh, look who it is," said Strong Bad, punching Strong Sad in the gut. "Get out of here!"

"But—" began Strong Sad, but was quickly cut off by a fist to the face. "Strong Bad—"

"Out!"

Strong Bad watched his little brother run out the door, then looked back at Strong Mad and the egg. Neither had moved. All was silent.

"Freaking say something!" said Strong Bad.

The door opened. Strong Bad turned angrily, thinking that Strong Sad had come back.

"I thought I told you... Homestar? How the crap did you get in here?"

"Oh, hi Strong Bad," said Homestar. "I found this great new go-karting track... You found my egg for me! We really are best friends."

"I'm not your friend anymore, you morone!" said Strong Bad, exasperated. He'd only told Homestar this fifty times in the past week. "Remember? You wouldn't give me the stupid egg?"

"No, I don't think so," said Homestar. Strong Bad began pushing him out the door, Homestar just kept talking. "And yesterday, I found this cute shirt, we should totally..."

Strong Bad slammed the door, and leaned against it. Strong Mad had moved this time, but only to eat the sandwich that Strong Sad had given him. Strong Bad went back to Strong Mad's desk and inspected the egg. He was beginning to think that an egg he couldn't even eat might not have been worth alienating his friends over, but before he could give it much consideration, the egg began to crack.

"Holy crap!" said Strong Bad, grabbing for the egg, but Strong Mad got to it first. "Hey, gimme that!"

"NO!" said Strong Mad, holding it out of Strong Bad's reach.

The egg cracked some more, and something yellow and black peered out.

"DAH?" said Strong Mad, lowering the egg to eye level.

Strong Bad grabbed the egg off of Strong Mad and stared at the creature, which was looking around blearily.

"Aw, crap!" he said. He couldn't tell if the thing was an anvil, a cheese, one of those Pokemon things, or all three. "It's just a furry yellow thing! I wanted a dragon."

Strong Mad just grinned. Strong Bad had never seen him happier, except for maybe the time when the Half Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour had run all day.

"IT HATCHED!" he said.

"Meh?" said the creature, breaking out of the egg some more. Strong Bad felt something trickling down his arm, realised that the creature was soaking wet, and quickly put it down.

"Meh!" it said again, looking up at Strong Bad and Strong Mad expectantly.

"Oh, it's hungry. Give it something to eat!" said Strong Bad, hitting Strong Mad on the head.

Strong Mad gave it the rest of his sandwich, which it devoured.

"AW..." said Strong Mad, and cradled the creature in his arms.

"This had better be worth it, man," said Strong Bad.
