3:28pm"I'm a bit disappointed, honestly."
"How so?"
"I was expecting to find out Cameron got beat up or something and it was secretly you. A girl can dream."
"Sorry Brookie Cookie, if I beat him up then you'd know who I am."
"I told you not to call me that."
"Why not?"
"Because that's what Cameron calls me."
"Oh... So?"
"So Cameron's a dick and I would rather not be reminded of him every time you call me that."
"Then what do you want me to call you?"
"Brooklyn."
"Hmm... Nah, too plain."
"Then what do you suggest?"
"Brookie Cookie."
"Anything but that."
"Anything?"
"No, you know what I mean."
"I know, I know... Then can I call you... Oh! I'll call you Rey."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously."
"Rey as in The Force Awakens Rey?"
"Exactly."
"Aren't you surprised I know who she is?"
"Well I heard you say- oh, I mean, how do you know who Rey is?"
"I've decided to watch the Star Wars movies."
"What do you think of them?"
"... As much as I hate I admit it, Star Wars is positively the most amazing thing in the galaxy."
"I told you!"
"Technically you never said anything at all. I just decided to watch them."
"You decided to watch them because of me."
"Oh, quit boosting your ego, will you? I made my own decision, and not under your influence."
"Sureeeeeee."
"Goodnight, Darth Vader."
"Goodnight Rey probably Skywalker."
