"They really aren't affecting us, are they?" I said as Evan and I sat on the couch eating potato chips.
"Nope."
"I hate that these people are in town and have like, no impact on our lives but could kill us all at any moment."
"Yeah, it's simultaneously boring and terrifying."
"In constant danger: Living life as usual."
"It could be worse. They could be actually attacking us."
"Yeah... do you think we should try to find out what's going on?"
"I don't know. We could get in trouble."
"That's true, but that's never really stopped me before."
"You mean like the time you made your mom drive you to Maine so you could explore a mysterious town?"
"Yeah, like that time."
"Well, I guess we could... but I like our lives. And the important people haven't failed to protect us yet."
"I guess that's true. But Rumpelstiltskin is on the bad side now."
"It'll be fine. Emma and Regina can handle, like, anything."
"Yeah, okay. I'm sure we're fine."
"Maybe you should ask Henry about it in class."
"Henry doesn't like me, and he mostly just talks to Grace anyway."
"Do you think they're a thing?"
"No, I don't think so."
"When did we get so bored we've resorted to gossip about our classmates?"
"I don't know. Want to go online and see if there are any interesting new YouTube videos up?"
He shrugged. "Yeah, sure."
"Hey, Mom. How was work?"
"Fine. Have you and Evan agreed to stop dating yet?"
"No, and we aren't going to! Did you find anything out?"
"Um... I think Ursula left to go live happily under the sea or something. That's what one of the nurses says. I really don't know, I haven't been paying attention either."
"Fair enough. Do we have anything to worry about?"
"Not that I know of."
"Great."
