Leo & Sarah
*****
"I'm so pissed right now."
"Why don't you ever start a phone call with Hello?"
"We are at the point in our friendship where hellos aren't needed."
"So we are friends now?"
"Would you rather be lovers?"
"I'll pass. So why are you pissed?"
"There's no peanut butter in my cupboards."
"Are you serious? That is why you are pissed? I thought it was something worse."
"This is worse Cupid. It's a life or death situation."
"Just so you know, I'm rolling my eyes."
"I thought my optimism would rubb off you. Come on Cupid, I bet you not really a pessimistic person. "
"Okay fine. You know what Leo? I'm going to stop being pessimistic. I'm going to have fun with my life. Starting with this party tonight. I'm going to be the most lively person there."
"Hold your horses Cupid. Don't overdue your optimism that you suddenly got."
"Leo why don't you have a girlfriend?"
"I have to go now. Sorry Cupid. Talk later?"
"Okay sure."
"Have fun at the party Cupid. Just don't fall for anyone, it will break my heart."
"And Cupid will be there to repair your broken heart."
"Dont break my heart, my achy breaky heart."
"You sing horrible."
"Why thank you. Your compliment just made my day."
"I could compliment you more?"
"Stop Cupid. I know you think I'm awesome and everything but I already have a big head as it is."
"So you have like a giant head? Did your parents drop you a lot? Almost like the Red Queen in Alice and Wonderland?"
"I haven't watched Alice in Wonderland yet."
"What?! No freaking way! Where do you live? Under a rock? That's one of the best live-action Disney movies."
"Well then if its so awesome then why don't you show it to me one day?"
"Deal. I should go get ready for the party now. Bye Leo."
"Bye Cupid."
"..."
"And be safe."
