Donut stands on top of Red Base in pink armor.

"HA!" South exclaimed. She points towards York triumphantly. "You owe me 20 bucks!" She said smugly. "Pay up."

"I don't even have my wallet!" York complained.

Check your pocket. Rider advised.

York did and lo and behold, there was his wallet. Well it hadn't been there a moment ago. "C'mon, you couldn't have just let me not pay?" He said sourly as he handed South a twenty, which she promptly stuffed in her pocket.

Nah. Rider hummed gleefully.

Donut: Dude, this is sweet! Command was so happy that I got the Blue flag, they gave me my own color armor!

Grif and Simmons look at each other.

Grif: Uh... hey, Donut?

Donut: What?

Simmons: Um, about your armor...

Donut: What about it?

Simmons: How do I put this... Your armor is, um... It's a little, um... Grif, uh, you wanna help me out here?

Grif: It's pink. Your armor is frickin' pink!

Simmons: Yeah, that's it. Pink.

Donut: Pink? My armor's not pink!

Guys did you hear that? Apparently that color is not pink. We've been lied to our whole lives. Rider said sarcastically.

York snickered.

Grif: PINK.

Simmons: Yeah, definitely pink.

Donut: You guys are color-blind. Why would they give me pink armor?

Grif: Hey, don't ask, don't tell.

York and South started laughing. "Nice one." South snickered.

Simmons: (over Grif's laughter) Heh, that's not funny.

Grif: (laughs a little more) It's a little funny.

Donut: Look at it, it's not pink. It's like, uh.. a "lightish red".

"The lengths you idiots will go to to preserve your masculinity." CT sighed.

"I've never had a problem with pink." Florida said.

"Then why didn't you make that your armor color?" Tex asked, raising a brow.

"Well I've always been more drawn to the lovely color our dear Carolina wears but since she had already chosen it I went with the dark blue. It would be rude to copy Carolina. And besides, I'm not that attached to pink." Florida chirped cheerfully.

Tex stared at him before shrugging. "Okay."

Grif: Guess what? They already have a color for lightish red. You know what it's called? Pink.

Donut: I hate you guys.

Sarge: (running up the ramp with Lopez in tow) Well hello, dirtbags. ...and a fine hello to you, madam.

South cackled.

Donut: It's LIGHT red.

Sarge: Don't get your panties in a wad there, Barbie. Do you have a package for me?

Donut: Yes sir.

Sarge: Excellent.

Donut: (holding up a mechanical unit) They said this speech unit should work with Lopez.
