A/N: Just a random thing that showed up in my head today. Enjoy!
"Elphie?"
"Mmph?"
"Are you awake?"
"No. Go 'way."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Glinda, it's three in the morning. This had better be important."
"Have you ever been in love?"
"What? Why?"
"I…I just want to know."
"That depends."
"Depends on what?"
"Depends on what you mean by love."
"You know… getting butterflies whenever they touch you, and getting caught with a really funny look on your face 'cause you were fantasising about kissing them, and staring at them for ages in the middle of class, and…"
"I think I get the general idea."
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Elphie…"
"Have you?"
"Elphie! I asked first!"
"Oh, all right. I'll tell you in the morning."
"What?!? I'm going to kill you… are you laughing at me?"
"No, of course not, my sweet. Go back to sleep."
"No. Not until you tell me. And I'm very good at nagging."
"Yes, I know. All right, I'll tell if you will."
"That depends."
"Depends on what you mean by love."
"Okay… wanting to spend all your time with someone, and getting butterflies in your stomach when they walk in the door, and spending every minute that you're not with them thinking about them, and feeling like you own the entire world whenever they're pleased to see you, and…"
"Elphie?"
"Sorry. I got a little carried away, didn't I?"
"No. Actually, it was kind of cute."
"Hmph. So what's the answer?"
"That depends."
"Depends on what?"
"Depends on whose definition we're using. Because I think I prefer yours…. Yes. Yes, I love someone. But I'm not in love with her – uh, them."
"Oh."
"Oh? That's all? What about your answer?"
"Yes. Now go to sleep."
"Well, who is it?"
"That depends."
"What? Depends on what?!?"
"Well, if she hasn't figured it out yet, then clearly she's not the girl I thought she was, and I shall have to withdraw my feelings. Now go to sleep."
"Sweet dreams, my love."
"Sweet dreams, my sweet."
See that little purple button in the corner… need I say more? ;)
