"You're not supposed to agree!"
"Why would I argue with the truth?"
"You're mean. That's mean."
"I'm not mean. And what kind of insult is that? What are you, four?"
"I'm just saying..."
"Well don't. Be quiet."
"I told you, I'm not going to be quiet. I don't like being quiet."
"And I don't like you talking."
"I have an idea that will make us both happy!"
((aggrivated)) "What?"
"Let's play a game!"
"No! Why do you keep going back to this game thing?"
"Think about it Sara. If we play one of those car-ride games, I can't talk all the time. You'd have to talk sometimes, and at those points in the game, I wouldn't be allowed to interrupt you."
((thinks))
"What do you say?"
"I say it depends on what game we're playing."
"Oo! Oo! We can play that one game, where you count how many red cars are passing and I'll count how many blue cars are passing, and whoever has the most wins!"
"... Greg?"
"Yes?"
"WE'RE IN A CLOSET! There are no red cars and there are no blue cars!"
"Well, that might put a damper on things."
"Shut up. I'm not playing any games, okay?"
"Please, Sara? My attention span doesn't last for three hours. I'll get bored! I'll think of a good game. Please?"
"All right. If you can think of a good game, I'll play it. But I have to approve first, okay?"
"Okay!"

"Oh! Sara! I have one!"
((sigh)) "All right, spill it."
"We could play Let's Have A Conversation!"
A/N: Short chapter, but the next ones are longer AND more serious (a little, this IS a humor story .0 ) Greggo's so cute...
I was looking over my old reviews, and there's was one that said something that I think I should address. It something along the lines of "I like this, but it isn't really writing, it's just dialouge." But writing good dialouge and making it a comprehensive story is MUCH more difficult than with prose. (Believe me). Plus, if plays and things aren't really writing, why do we have to read Romeo and Juliet and Cyrano de Bergerac in school? Writing dialouge is possibly the toughest part of literature (at least for me), because you have to establish "Well, would this character say this? No, it's not really them... maybe this character would though!" It's hard, and this is basically an excercise for me (a tough one, too, I work really hard on these chapters trying to make them believable). This is not meant to single out the person that left that review, I just wanted to let everyone know my stance on this. and don't think that person is a jerk for having that opinion, a lot of people do. All is well, I've spoken my mind! And I think it took longer than the actual chapter...; Oops... New chapter up in a couple of days, promise!
