Angel and Demon

They Scream for Ice Cream

*~*

-_-

Chocolate or Vanilla?

The simple choice that most could make in an instant, could be cause quite a catastrophe for Fiona Lee. Quite literally. 

"Chocolate!" her inner demon, Dawn, screeched. "Duh!? Obviously better than that plain crap."

"I'll have you know," her angel, Angelee, calmly explained in a spot-on British accent, "That vanilla is ordered almost triple as much in ice cream stores. Besides, you are plain crap."

"Excuse me?!" exclaimed Dawn, as the two began to bicker.

"SHUT UP!" yelled Fiona internally. Although she always did that, it was never effective to shut the two up and she started developing a migraine. 

Instead, the two rounded up on her. 

"Shut doesn't go up! Something else goes down, you idiot!" yelled Dawn in the left side of her head while Angelee, started singing, "Shut up, and dance with me."

In a common moment of sass and defiance, Fiona walked up to the counter and pleasantly asked, "A scoop of lemon sorbet please."

While she paid for the ice cream, her two 'acquaintances,' as she liked to call them, sulked in her brain. However, as soon as she pulled out her homework and started doing it the two exploded once more. 

"The answer's A. No, A you dolt!"

"I believe the answer is E, as possessive pronouns never have apostrophes."

"MY GOSH, WOULD YOU SHUT UP!" Fiona yelled, unaware for a precious moment that she wasn't yelling internally, but at the poor old lady sitting a table away from her.

Blushing from embarrassment, she quickly gathered her things and left the ice cream parlor as quickly as she could, disposing of her ice cream in the trash can in front of the pharmacy. 

"I will have a word with you two tonight," she muttered angrily in her head.

"Sleep already?" asked Karen over the phone. "It's only 11!"

"Yeah, but I want to have a word with some people right now." I said, not really paying attention.

"Oh, I haven't done anything wrong, have I!" she gasped.

"No, no, someone else."

"Oooooh, meeting with someone at midnight? Go have some fun."

"Karen," I warn her, "We've had this conversation before."

To be honest I just didn't want stuff interfering with my learning schedule. Already had those two acquaintances and they did the job quite well.

Settling into sleep, I tried to funnel in as much anger as I could.

"BLURB." I yelled stupidly, immediately now in the room that little Miss Angel and Devil shared. Sighing, they opened the doors. "Yes, mother," answered Dawn snarkily.

"Stop it. I am not your mother. Although I am as angry as one."

"Been a long time since we had a heart to heart chat, hasn't it," said Dawn. She hadn't invited me in and was still snobbily staring at me.

"Let her in, god darn it," yelled Angelee from inside.

Angrily, I karate-style kicked down the door. Ha, that was possible only in my sleeping realm.
