So this is a bit of an experiment. I kinda wanted to see what it would be like to write a oneshot that's entirely dialogue. I usually don't write stupid stuff like this, and usually scorn stuff similar to this. But it was kinda interesting to see where it took me. No flames! And yes, I know it's short.
"Brother?"
"Yeah, Al?"
"You awake?"
"Uhhh…"
"Oh. Right."
"What is it?"
"Do you know any synonyms for pretty?"
"Hmm… Beautiful?"
"Eh… I thought of that one too. It's not quite right."
"Okaaaay… Errrrr… how about… stunning?"
"Uh, no. Doesn't fit right."
"Hmm… this is tough… what about… Gorgeous?"
"No! It's not pretty, like pretty, but you know, pretty."
"And that makes so much sense."
"Sorry, Brother."
"…"
"…"
"What about cute?"
"That's perfect, Brother! Thank you!"
"Heh. No problem, Al."
"…"
"What are you doing, anyway?"
"Nothing."
"Oh come on, Al! You can tell me!"
"…You'll laugh."
"I swear I won't. Come on, what are you doing?"
"…Writing a book."
"Really?"
"…Yeah…"
"Can I read it?"
"No!"
"…Oh, okay."
"I mean, not yet. Once it's finished you can read it."
"So what's it about?"
"Um… stuff…"
"Like what?"
"An alchemist that accidentally makes a dragon…"
"You know that could never happen, right?"
"Of course I know! It's fantasy, Brother!"
"Okay, okay. Jeez."
"…"
"…"
"Sorry, Brother. I didn't mean to snap at you like that."
"It's okay, Al. So why'd you want to know another word for pretty?"
"…"
"Al?"
"Because… it's kind of a bit of a love story…"
"Oh. Maybe I don't really want to read this story after all."
"Oh. Okay."
"I'm kidding, Al! I still want to read it!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, if you wrote it. But we should probably get some sleep now, okay?"
"Okay. Could I please finish this chapter?"
"How much farther have you got to go?"
"Just I little bit. I just want to finish up this dialogue."
"Okay. Don't stay up too late, alright, Al?"
"Are you going to sleep, Brother?"
"Yeah. I'm tired, Al."
"Oh. Okay. Goodnight."
"G'night Al. Sleep tight."
"And don't let the bedbugs bite!"
"Heh. Yeah. Those little guys really sting."
"Huh? Bedbugs really exist?"
"Well, of course they do."
"I didn't know that!"
"You mean you've never gotten by a bedbug?!"
"No!"
"Huh…"
"…"
"…"
"Brother?"
"G'night, Al."
"Do you know a synonym for golden?"
"Not again…"
"Golden like a sunset golden. I'm not really sure how else to describe it. I was thinking maybe-"
"Go to sleep, Al. You can finish the chapter in the morning."
"But Brother…"
"Al…"
"Okay… Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Three pages! Woo hoo! All pure diologue! Were you guys actually able to keep up with it reasonably well? Hmm... That was interesting. Now onto my real stories…
