Friendship A to Zzz

Peanuts by Charles M Schulz

Fanfiction by LivingOnLaughs

A is for Appreciative

"Okay kiddo, explain this song to me…what does the small town girl and the city boy have to do with believing?" a gruff voice questioned a timid girl.

"Well, Sir, both the small town girl and the city boy are alone in the world and took the midnight train going anywhere" the latter tried to explain.

"You're weird, Marcie" the former argued as she put on another record, one that didn't confuse her as much as Journey's music.

"Apparently, Sir, you're not quite appreciative of good music" the timid girl replied.

"It's not that I don't appreciate it; I just don't like it" the tomboy retreated, putting on a record of The Mamas and The Papas.

"True, Sir…after all, you prefer movies with adventure because you're appreciative of it" Marcie explained.

"True and I hate books because they have no commercials and too many chapters" Peppermint Patty sighed, winking at her best friend.

"It's moments like this, Sir that makes me wonder why we're friends," the bespectacled girl open-mindedly answered.

Patty could just happily listen to her favorite record, ignoring Marcie's universal questions and farfetched theories about how they even became friends in the first place.

"Quiet, Marcie…I'm trying to be music appreciative" the tomboy sighed, "Besides, Mama Cass is singing Dream A Little Dream of Me"
