See Spot Swim

It just floated in the middle of the bowl like a dead fish. Okay, not like a dead fish as it was a fish of the living variety. Still, it didn't do anything but hover aimlessly in the center of its little world.

Heero peered into the bowl, face close enough that his nose touched the glass. He squinted, gave it a single tap with his index finger and then waited. Nothing. He tried a double tap and then a quadruple. Again, there was no response. He was sure that tapping on the glass would agitate the little guy and yet, it seemed to not care at all.

Slightly frustrated and a bit offended that he couldn't muster a reaction out of his new pet, he stood up, crossed his arms and set his mind to figuring out a way to make it move.

A hand snaked around from behind him, opening over the top of the aquarium. Spot immediately sprang into action, darting to the surface and then around in an unclear pattern. Heero felt his jaw drop to the floor.

"Y'know, Yuy," came an all too familiar voice as a hand patted him on the shoulder. "Fish are like Maxwells, if you want them to move, just show them the food."
