*This is basically an inner argument that goes inside Ellie's head. Let's just name them Ellie1 and Ellie2*

"Finder's keepers? Hmm,an interesting thing to write on the cover of a diary. Should I take it?"
"Of course not!"
"Why not? It does say finder's keepers."
"So? You don't take someone's diary just because something like that is written on it."
"But it's in my favourite color!"
"Seriously that's the best reason you could find? Plus it looks creepy."
"Not creepy,it looks pretty interesting. And it has a lock! It might have something important in it."
"Yes,'might'. It MIGHT have something important or it might not. Why take the risk?"
"Because I'm very curious! It's as if this diary is begging me to take it!"
"That gives you the more reason to not take it. Besides curiosity killed the cat."
"But I'm not a cat!"
"OH GOD! IT'S JUST A PROVERB!"
"I KNOW!"
"STOP YELLING!"
"YOU STOP YELLING!"
"NO,YOU STOP YELLING!"
"YOU DO IT FIRST! AFTER ALL YOU STARTED IT!"
"NO YOU DO IT!"
"*evil laughs* Thank you for your permission."
"Wait,what permission?"
"Well,you did say 'you do IT'. I'll take that as an order to take the diary!"
"But I didn't mean it. I meant..."
"No one cares what you meant. So I'll just take it."
"You are impossible! Go ahead and take it but remember I warned you."
"Stop complaining. After all you are me, I am you."
"Yeah yeah. Whatever."
"By the way how were we yelling in the first place if this was happening inside our head?"
"We were yelling inside our head."
"Does that even make sense?"
"No,it doesn't."
"..........."
"What are you waiting for? It's getting late."
"Yeah. I better be moving."
"Glad to see that your senses are back."
"But..."
"Tick tock. Tick tock. It's getting late."
"Ok. But this isn't over."
"Of course it's not. Now MOVE."
