Dear Diary, 10/19/06
I got a call from my friends today. Here, I'll paste in the conversation.
ELLIOT: "Zoey, we need you back at the café. Tell Mark good-bye and hop on the next plane over here."
CORINA: "Ignore the Attitude King. He's just grumpy. But then again, when is he ever not?"
ELLIOT: "I heard that. Get back to scrubbing the floor, Princess Lay-Around!"
Cold. At that moment, I actually felt sorry for Corina.
ME: "You got Corina to do actual work?"
CORINA: "I heard that!"
BRIDGET: "We really need to stop talking on speakerphone."
KIKI: "So when are you coming back, Zoey? We need your help! There haven't been any attacks lately and that's unusual so the Cyniclons must be planning something big and dramatic and you've got to get your big behind over here!"
Trust me, Kiki, the last thing on their minds right now is attacking you guys. And I do not have a big behind! Do I?
ME: "I, uh… I can assure one hundred percent that they're not plotting anything, Kiki."
BRIDGET: "Well how do you know that, Zoey? You're not even here."
I'm caught! Oh well, might as well spill the big secret.
ME: "Guys, there's something I want to tell you."
RENEE: "What is it, Zoey?"
ME: "Well, I, uh…"
KIKI: "Are the Cyniclons holding you hostage or something? Is that why we haven't heard from them? That's it, right! Don't worry, Zoey, we'll be there to rescue you!"
ME: "No, that's not it at all!"
KIKI: "I don't believe you! Hold on, Zoey. we're coming to rescue you!"
ME: "No! You guys have got it all wrong! I'm not being captured and held hostage! I'm in England with Mark. In fact, I'm looking out the window at Big Ben right now."
BRIDGET: "Oh I get it! The reason you're denying everything is because they've threatened your life if you reveal the truth, isn't it?"
ME: "You guys are insane! Tell them this is all a completely phony story, Elliot!"
ELLIOT: "I have to agree with Kiki this time. Your absence coupled with a lack of attacks does point to Kiki's theory."
ME: "Elliot! How could you! This is the girl who makes up stories left and right just because it amuses her. I'm not being held hostage. Besides, wouldn't they be threatening you if they had me?"
RENEE: "She has a point there."
WESLEY: "Girls, get back to work. We have cakes that need tasting."
BRIDGET and KIKI: "Cakes? Cakes!"
CORINA and RENEE: "It's just cake. No reason to get excited. Besides, we have to save Zoey."
ME: "Really guys, I'm fine! Don't try anything crazy."
KIKI: "Corina and Renee are right! No time for cake – we must save Zoey! Just hold on, Zoey, we'll be there in a flash."
ME: "Come on you guys, you're just being ridiculous. I'm fine! Really."
BRIDGET: "Just hang on, Zoey. We'll rescue you."
Well now we have a big problem. What am I going to do? Oh diary, help me!
