Pairing: Chloe/Oliver
Rating: G
Summary: Chloe thinks the guys need to get a new hobby.

At Watchtower HQ.

Chloe watched intently as the small figure on the screen went silently about his mission.  He moved quickly, darting from one tree to another, pausing beside only long enough to finish the task he was sent to complete.

Harvesting. 100% complete.  +80 coins.

"You know, Bart," She finally decided to make her presence known, "It would be faster if you placed all the trees together instead of spreading them out like that."

In front of one of the other computer terminals, Bart visibly started at the sound of his name before frantically pounding the Escape key.  " 'Licious!" He turned around once the screen faded to black,  "I, uh, wasn't expecting you back so soon!"

"No need to stop on my account.  Although, if you wanted to experience the real thing, Clark could always use some help on the farm."

The young man gave a nervous chuckle.  "Um...I think I'll pass.  Anyways, got to go!"

Chloe could only catch sight of a red blur as he sped off out of Watchtower, nearly knocking into Oliver at the entrance.

"Whoa," Oliver stumbled a bit as he tried to catch his balance, "What's his hurry?"

"I think he was a bit put off that I'd found out about his fondness for farming," Chloe took her seat behind one of the desks and began typing.

"Farming?"

"Farmville," Then Chloe's eyes widened.  "Oliver!"

"What?"

"Not you too!"

"What did I do?" Oliver sounded bewildered.

Chloe jabbed at her computer keyboard and then pointed the screen behind him.  "You play Farmville!" she said accusingly.

"I do not," he objected.

"It's on your facebook."

He shrugged, "I wanted to see what the big deal was."

Chloe just raised an eyebrow, "You're at level 23."

"Hey, Bart's at level 76.  And in my defense, it's not my fault the meetings with HR always run overtime."

"Right..."

About a week later at Watchtower.

There was a howl of disbelief from Bart's direction.  Victor and AC looked up to see the words "Access Denied" flashing across a few of the screens.

"She blocked Farmville!  My crops are going to die if I don't get to them within the next five minutes!"

"Farmville isn't all that great anyways," AC offered his opinion to which Bart threw him a sour look, "If anything, that just shows that Chloe has taste-" Then AC abruptly swore. "She blocked World of Warcraft too!"

"And I'll be blocking a lot more at this rate," Chloe called down to them as she walked down the stairs.  "Is everyone here yet?'

"C'mon Chloelicious, you got to unblock it," Bart pleaded.  Unfortunately, his pleas went unheard.

"We're here," Oliver smirked as he walked further into the center of the room, "Even Boy Scout plus one is here."

"Plus one?" Lois wrinkled her nose, "You really aren't so great with the whole codenames thing, are you?"

Oliver ignored that comment.

"Alright.  Let me just say one thing and then you can talk about the next mission," Chloe told Oliver before addressing the rest of the team.  "I don't mind if you use Watchtower's computers for your own thing.  However, I get a bit concerned when I find out that a couple hundred hours in the last month have been used for games like Farmville," Chloe frowned, "Seriously, what's so fun about that game?"

"Well I'm pretty sure Smallville here doesn't play it," Lois grinned up at the Clark.  Her grin promptly faded as Clark studiously avoided her gaze.  "You have to got to be kidding me."

"While we're at it," Chloe interrupted, "Who's been using Watchtower for their Vampire Diaries torrents?"

Lois perked up. "It finished downloading already?"

When Chloe glared at her, her cousin just pouted. "It's your fault.  You were the one that got me into it in the first place.  Oh and Damon is so much hotter than Stefan."

"He is not."

"You're clearly biased.  You only like Stefan because he reminds you of Oliver."

"They don't even look anything alike!" protested Chloe.

Meanwhile the guys just gave each other looks of relief as the topic of Farmville was finally dropped.  For now.

A/N: I actually haven't watched enough (read: any) of the Vampire Diaries episodes yet, so I really have no opinion on the whole Stefan vs. Damon question (although, which one is Elena supposed to be with?!!  I swear this is like the whole Angel vs. Spike thing all over again).  I just wanted to work a Chlo-Lo disagreement into the fic.  Although I really should start watching it before I find myself 9 seasons behind like I was for Smallville.

A/N 2: I don't actually play Farmville that much.  Now Mafia Wars on the other hand...
