BOOK: So. Haven't seen you for a while.
LEAH: I had midterms and then two deferred exams.
BOOK: Mm.
LEAH: And I had to study for them.
BOOK: Mm.
LEAH: And then I fell down.
BOOK: Mm.
LEAH: ...what's that your watching, NFL?
BOOK: I had to do something while you weren't here. My wife-beater needs washing too. And these socks all over the floor.
LEAH: You used to wash those yourse--
BOOK: Well, things are going to be different around here. The fact is, missy, I've been talking 'round the neighbourhood, and all your friends' books are, well, reaching climax. And we're not.
LEAH: But--
BOOK: Don't think I haven't seen you making eyes at that thing with the caravans and the deserts and the apocalyptic city. *flips channel*
LEAH: (blushing) I don't know what you mean--
BOOK: Mm. And don't think you can just walk out of here. I know your friends like me just fine. You'll finish what you started, all right.
LEAH: (weeping) Book, you've changed!
BOOK: I'm at 30k now. I've wised up. There's a pot pie in the oven you can attend to while you're up.
LEAH: I--I don't know where the love's gone! *sob*
BOOK: Whatever. *slapass* Start writing. And get me another Bud.

You are amusing. Came by way of matociquala. Friended you, since we both seem to enjoy writing and reading...
