Truly a stupid question?

Steam rose off the warm cut of hot chocolate in her hands. Rukia stared into the round white cup filled with chocolaty goodness, but for once she wasn't interested in this cup of joy. No, she had her mind on a much more important matter. The serious look in her deep purple eyes startled Ichigo. He held in his right hand a bag of bunny shaped marshmallows, and in the left he held his own cup of hot chocolate. For the past week the two of them happily drank hot chocolate and would put bunny shaped marshmallows in the warm drink each day. While Ichigo didn't care for the animal shaped sweets, he wasn't going to tell Rukia that. But her serious eyes frightened him a bit. Why did she look so lost, so deep, in this thought of hers?

"I have a question, Ichigo," Rukia said, still staring into her dark drink.

"I have an answer," Ichigo replied calmly.

That serious look in her eyes deepened to a new level. Such a look had only ever been seen on captains! Ichigo tensed as Rukia slowly opened her mouth to ask her question. "When humans use the expression 'When pigs fly'... what do they mean by that?" she asked, that serious look still on her pale face.

Ichigo's jaw dropped. He was purely speechless on this one, but not because her question baffled him. No, he was baffled about the fact that she asked this question. Such a stupid question! Such a pointless question! He merely laughed and replied, "It's because.... I've got no clue." Despite being so quick to say this question was stupid, he didn't stop to think that he didn't know the answer.

"I honestly could careless why they say it; what concerns me is something different," Rukia said.

"And that would be?" he asked, a bit scared now. What could she possibly have on her mind now?

"If pigs could fly, how exactly would they fly? Would they float? Would they grow feather wings, or fairy wings? Would one catapult the other into the air? Would they jump off the edge of a building? Would-" that was as far as Rukia got in her game of twenty questions before Ichigo put his hand over her mouth.

"Rukia.... no more sugar for you," Ichigo said while shaking his head back and forth.

An evil look came over her round purple eyes. Rukia chomped down on Ichigo's hand as hard as she could; how dare he silence her! Ichigo yanked his hand out of her mouth, and checked to see if she'd cut him. She still had an angry look on her face, and he knew there was no easy fix to this. But what did it matter how pigs would fly if they could? They are animals that would never be able to fly... unless. A perfect idea to came to his mind right there, and it would hopefully answer his angered shinigami's question.  Ichigo beckoned Rukia to follow him to the kitchen.

"What are you doing now?" Rukia growled.

"Just follow me and stop complaining," Ichigo replied.

Once in the kitchen, Ichigo raided the fridge in hopes of finding a certain item. Finally it was found, sitting behind the milk and the unopened package of tofu, the perfect answer to this problem. He picked up the package of maple bacon, and threw it across the room.

"There; your pig flew," Ichigo said sarcastically.  
This insanity was made for :iconasagi-k-kurosaki: for our art trade.
The request was simple; just have Rukia question the saying "when pigs fly". Now then, I think Rukia's question was answered well by Ichigo; not! :XD: Better luck next time Ruki Ruki.
