Here's another conversation! This one is for Bonzodog.
Don't own them.
"Newbie, why are we here again?"
"I need to do some shopping."
"In the aisle full of shiny, glittery, pink notebooks?"
"Well, I need a new journal!"
"Why don't we go to a book store and pick one out from there? Maybe they'll be a little more…manly. And a little bit more adult."
"No, I found one!"
"The Hannah Montana one?"
"No, look above it!"
"High School musical?"
"No! C'mon Perry, it's not that hard to spot."
"The one that says 'My first journal' in pink? Newbie, really?"
"No! The one with the unicorn on it!"
"…a unicorn. Standing in front of a waterfall, with a rainbow above him? That one?"
"Yes!"
"No. You get that journal, I'm breaking up with you."
"Perry, you know you love the unicorn. And besides, you should be thanking unicorns."
"I'm going to regret asking this, but why?"
"Because I asked Justin—you know, my unicorn—if I should go for it with you before we were together. And then I asked him if I should move in with you. Both times he said yes. And we all know that if Justin had said no, I wouldn't be here today."
"I…didn't know that."
"Now Jack is learning to go to Justin with his questions."
"Newbie, don't turn my son into a mini version of you! It's bad enough my daughter is named after you…"
"Hey, Jennifer Dylan is an awesome name!"
"And Jack is starting to think that Rowdy is a real dog, courtesy of you and Turtlehead."
"Don't hurt Rowdy's feelings. But we don't do that anymore, because Carla told us to stop."
"Good old Carla."
"She said it's not good for our kids to think Rowdy is real and to think about getting rid of him at a garage sale before long."
"You aren't going to, are you?"
"No! Rowdy is my best friend, after Turk. It would be like if we decided to just give away Jack or Jennifer or Sam!"
"I don't think it's exactly the same, but whatever Newbie."
"You aren't going to fight me on it?"
"It won't work."
"Wow…"
"I will fight you on the notebook though."
"What's wrong with it?"
"Are you seriously asking me that? Newbie, are you just not looking at it?"
"I am! And I like what I see!"
"I don't think you're really looking at it…Newbie, it's for twelve-year old girls!"
"It's pretty."
"Exactly."
"Fine. Oh, maybe I'll get one of those electronic locking journals so the Janitor can't break into it and read all my thoughts."
"Great! Then you and my daughter and Carla's kid can have matching journals!"
"Are you saying it's for little girls?"
"Have you seen the ads for them?"
"Well…no."
"Way to prove my point Newbie. Ok…if you pick out a journal that isn't designed for a preteen girl to write in while she's rocking out to Hannah Montana and writing about how she wishes she could marry all three of the Jonas Brothers and live with them in their house, I'll get those…cookies you want."
"You're resorting to bribing me? Over a notebook that I'll be using, not you?"
"I know…it's sad."
"I'm still not doing it."
"I'll…let you have control of the TV for the week."
"Even on the weekend?"
"…yes."
"Alright! No sports for the J-Dizzle this weekend! How about….this one! It's green and has designs on it."
"Damn it. Fine."
"I win! Lifetime channel and musicals all weekend long!"
"Come on, let's go."
"No, you promised me a box of Jammie Dodgers! Which aren't cookies, by the way...they're biscuits. Made in heaven and sent to us."
"How did you find out about these things anyways? Aren't they British?"
"I had a patient who gave me a box as a thank you gift. Turk and I spent the whole afternoon just eating them. They're so good!"
"Newbie…I'll get you a whole case of those cookies if you give me total control of the TV this weekend."
"Nope! I'll just go and buy some myself later."
"Damn it."
For the people who want to see JD's original choice for journal (which I think is pretty, and I think when I was a teenager, I had something like it, lol.): http: / images. cafepress. com/ product/ 138355256v1(underscore) 240x240(underscore) Front.jpg (Just remove the spaces

Jammie Dodgers are a popular British biscuit, made from shortbread and raspberry flavoured plum jam. That's pretty much all I know about them (thank you wikipedia!) but Bonzodog requested that I work them into a story...I hope you like it! If you have any questions about what Jammie Dodgers are, go to her. :D
And everyone else, feel free to make requests!
