All-dialogue is all fun! Except this isn't all dialogue, no matter how hard I try to pretend it is.
Anyways, enjoy!
"Hey, Yomi."
"What is it?"
"Do you think it's the end of the world today?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, all over the news it was like, 'End of the world today! All will perish in fire and flames!' and that kind of stuff."
"… I don't really believe them. I mean, how many times has this happened before? A lot, you know."
"Hey, Yomi."
"What, Tomo."
"Look outside."
"I don't see what this has to do with- oh my god! Wh- what happened to the sun?"
"See?"
"Don't you 'see' me, Tomo. Wait there, I'm coming over."
"Too bad, I'm already walking to yours."
"You're hopeless…"
Yomi hangs up, shaking her head.
The street, outside Yomi's place.
"Hey, Yomi."
"Mm?"
"D'ya think everyone else is outside, watching this too?"
"Most likely."
"Oh."
...
"It's pretty empty here, isn't it?"
"Yeah. I wonder where everyone else is. Say, Tomo, should we be running in fear right now?"
"… Nah, I don't think so. I mean, nothing happened yet. It's actually kind of boring."
"I cannot believe you."
"At least you won't have to diet anymore."
Smack!
"Ouch, Yomi, that hurt!"
"Serves you right, you idiot."
Quiet.
"Ooh! Pretty lights!"
"I think they're called Aurora Borealis or something."
"But don't you only find those, like, really high up north or something?"
"Tomo? Tomo? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, it was just totally unlike you to actually know something like that!"
"… Ouch, Yomi. Ouch. I'm glad you think so little of me."
"Hey, I'm just stating facts."
"Wouldn't it be nicer to lie then?"
"Are you becoming a philosopher or something?"
"Why are you answering a question with a question?"
"How about you?"
"It isn't like someone who is usually so smart to not have an answer to poor, simple Tomo's questions."
"What?"
"You know."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
...
"You're starting to scare me, Tomo."
Tomo runs a hand through her hair.
"I guess it's just the whole end of the world thing. I dunno."
"It should have been the end of the world every day."
"… Ouch. Hey, Yomi?"
"Yeah."
"Do you hate me?"
Two startled eyes meet Tomo's, even behind their glasses.
"Hate you?"
"Yeah, you know. You always used to hit me and stuff. Sometimes you got really annoyed with me too."
"That's because you were annoying."
"Was I?"
"Yeah."
"Oh. Well, anyway, do you hate me?"
"No."
Tomo's eyes widen slightly.
"You are my childhood friend, after all. I've been stuck with you my whole life. Once you do that, it's easy enough to put up with you."
"I somehow get the feeling you insulted me during that."
"No, Tomo. What I mean to say is, even if you annoyed me sometimes, you were still my best friend. While I may not have approved of things you were doing, I could never hate you. Not in a million years. I-if I had never gone to the same school as you… I don't know what would happen to me. You are that integral to my life."
"You really have a way with words, Yomi."
"That's because I studied."
"And there's the Yomi I know! Take another dig at me."
"… Do you want me to punch you?"
"Heh heh…"
And then they hold hands as if they had never fought a day in their lives. Their hands fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
"Tomo…"
"Huh?"
"If this is the last day of the world, then I'm glad I got to spend it here with you."
"That was really cheesy."
"I know."
"But I feel the same. That's why I called you. I had to make sure you were okay before the world ended."
"That's… noble. But, what's the point, if the world will just end anyway?"
"I dunno."
Oblivious to the two friends on the sidewalk, the stars, one by one, go out.
I hope that wasn't too confusing. I put their names in there every now and again so that you could know who was talking.
I like angst.
Anyways, sees yous laters!
