This was prompted by MGHelene! It's just a dialoge fic. I've never done one before and I find this kinda weird and stupid. And I have no idea where any of it came from...

"You're only doing this to tick the others off."

"Among other reasons."

"You just like to fight."

"Not my main objective, but true, I'll give you that."

"Just to make the others freak out and think that I was kidnapped."

"Not really, your last guess?"

"You think in some odd, twisted way this will make Nina like you?"

"Not even close. You know that was far-fetched."

"Perhaps, but it was my only other guess that had any reason behind it."

"So, me wanting to spend some alone time with you never occurred to you?"

"It occurred to me along with the reams of other hypotheses dismissed as unreasonable."

"Since when am I reasonable?"

"Touché."

"I know."

"You still haven't answered my question."

"Do I need a reason to tie you to a chair and lock the door with only you and I in the room?"

"Yes."

"Fair enough."

"So…?"

"Pick one of your own answers."

"I would prefer yours."

"Well, we can't always get what we want."

"But I have a feeling I will this time."

"Depends how much you beg."

"Me? Beg? You really are unreasonable."

"Maybe not beg, but I'm sure there are other things you could do."

"In your dreams, doofus."

"Too right."

"That qualifies as far too much information."

"You started it."

"What are you, five?"

"I'm a kid at heart."

"More like a kid trapped in a seventeen year olds body."

"No, that's Alfie."

"No, there's a difference between the kids trapped inside the two of you. Alfie's is a hyperactive five year old, while yours is just a stubborn, brat that needs an attitude adjustment."

"Yeah, but at least the guy that kid is trapped in is smoking hot."

"Are you going to let me out of here anytime soon?"

"I don't know; depends on what I think in the next few minutes."

"This could take a while then. Can I at least have a more comfortable chair?"

"I'm just as bored as you are, trust me. And I'm sitting on the same kind of uncomfortable chair."

"But you're doing it voluntarily."

"I gave you the choice of standing."

"But you weren't the one kidnapped."

"Kidnapping is such a strong word. I prefer borrowed."

"Good for you."

"That hurt."

"Your point is?"

"Maybe I don't like to be hurt."

"Then maybe you shouldn't have tied me to a chair in your bedroom at one o'clock in the morning."

"Good point. Maybe I should have tied you up in the kitchen."

"I would prefer that. I could eat and drink while you babble on about nothing."

"Hey, you're yacking back."

"I'm doing yourself a favor by trying to make you change your idiotic ways."

"You're failing."

"I noticed."

"Congratulations."

"Sarcasm. Assuming a pretense of intelligence?"

"More than a pretense, Yacker."

"Then you couldn't come up with a better nickname?"

"What would you prefer?"

"How about Patricia?"

"Your name isn't a nickname."

"You never said it couldn't to be."

"You need a nickname."

"As do you. And I gave you a bunch, Cockroach."

"Instead of being classed as Insecta, how about the most handsome, dashing, charming, and skillful man in the world?"

"More than 2 syllables."

"I would be content with either handsome or charming."

"I don't do lies."

"What about Sibuna and the mysteries."

"Those are secrets, not lies, there's difference. Not telling anyone about a secret society of teachers and not needing to explain yourself, ever, is a secret. Calling you handsome or charming when it isn't true, is a lie."

"You're right. Those words don't even begin to describe my brilliance."

"If you shine too much, everyone will have to wear sunglasses around you."

"It's a deceptive brilliance, beautiful. It hides beneath the outer veneer of handsomeness."

"Okay, that nickname was even worse than the first."

"I liked it."

"You'll call any girl that. I'd like to think I'm worth some bit of creativity."

"I can't win, can I?"

"No hope of it."

"Fine then, I might have to tie the ropes tighter."

"Low blow."

"I'm a kidnapper. I'm supposed to be low."

"I thought you preferred the word 'borrowed'."

"Would you stop talking?"

"I'll talk as much as I want while I am tied up in your bedroom, you creep."

"You have an answer for everything, don't you?"

"Of course."

"I could really hate you right now."

"Take a number."

"But the problem is: this is too much fun."

"I don't agree with you."

"Well, I haven't had good banter like this for a long time. Fabian's retorts are pitiful."

"You haven't heard Alfie's."

"I sincerely never want to."

"Good choice."

"It must be torture for you to have listened to them both all those years."

"You have no idea."

"Poor angel, stuck in her massive house with all her luxuries."

"Not even addressing that nickname."

"I liked the irony."

"Congratulations, I don't."

"Too bad for you, I'm sticking with it."

"You are so going to be in pain when I am released."

"I'm planning a quick exit."

"Clever strategy. Very creative."

"Creativity is fun, but pragmatism keeps you free."

"No, it keeps you free. It's keeping me tied up for reasons I still don't know!"

"It's fun, isn't it?"

"Glorious."

"Well, it sounds like Victor's up."

"No kidding."

"Does he always prowl and creep around in the shadows after everyone's asleep?"

"I don't know, I'm usually sleeping, Weasel."

"Well, why aren't you?"

"Because I'm tied to a chair."

"Can you not sleep in a chair?"

"No, it messes up my neck and back, and I can only sleep without any nightmares when I'm lying down on my side."

"And I thought I was weird."

"Would you untie me?"

"Well, angel, it's been nice talking to you."

"You're going to change the nickname."

"We must do it again sometime."

"Fine."

"Later."

"But next time, I'm going to kidnap you."

"You do that, angel, you do that."

I'd like to thank my mommy, Gail, or flyawaygail, for reviewing on the 100th chapter! She was the first one to review! Thanks, momma!
