CHAPTER ELEVEN
_______________

"I just think that Owen is a stupid idea."

"Every character needs background."

"Sure, maybe, but I don't know. He just seems dumb. Can we make him more interesting?"

"Uh, he could be abusive? A psychopath?"

"No, because that would change the story line completely."

"How? It's just something that could happen. Not shift the story."

"I don't know, we'll decide another time."

"Okay, what about Kyle's background?"

"A scandal?"

"An ex girlfriend? Or, oh! An ex wife?"

"Maybe the girlfriend. She could like come back and ruin romance if needed for some extra umph."

"Umph."

"Quit it, focus."

"Okay, okay. Should we do some background for Sam?"

"Nah, he isn't that important."

"Wow, rude. You based him off of me."

"No I did not. He's your complete opposite. He'd probably listen to heavy metal and opera. You listen to music vomit."

"Jazz is not music vomit."

"Most isn't even coordinated! It's just a blurb."

"Well, most Jazz is improvised. That's what makes it cool."

"Whatever, Tigger."

"You should really be nicer to your future boyfriend, Caddy."

"Ew. Don't call me that."

"Why not?"

"My old friend use to call me that."

"Ha. Fine. How about Cad?"

"Eh, better. But still no."

"Fine, Rabbit it is."

"I can't believe you."

"You started it, calling me Tigger."

"Because you act like him."

"I saw a post that the characters in Winnie The Pooh are supposed to stand for disorders. Tigger is ADHD I think."

"Well."

"Don't give me that look. I do not have ADHD."

"What was Rabbit?"

"OCD."

"... Well."

"You're welcome."

"What?"

"Think of how much money you just saved from getting diagnosed from your co-worker instead of a doctor."

"God, thanks."

"I'm here all night."
