"Ugh, what time is it?"
"It's past eleven already. Don't tell me you were still asleep?"
"A better question is, why are you awake?"
"Oh, come on. It's not like it's early."
"It is! How can you not be tired after last night? We literally danced all night."
"Just be glad I waited a while before calling you, then."
"Oh god, how early did you wake up?"
"Around half past nine."
"There has to be something wrong with you. This can't be real."
"Real funny."
"Can I go back to sleep now, or was there a reason for your call?"
"Oh, not much really. Just for fun, I guess. And wanted to say once more how much fun I had last night."
"Yeah, I did too."
"I mean, the others are fun too, but I don't think I've ever smiled this much in one night. All thanks to you."
"Now you just want to feed my ego, don't you?"
"As if it could get any bigger."
"Ouch. You hurt me, Ella."
"Yeah, sure. Anyway, my mom's calling me. I have to go."
"Aww, too bad."
"Hey, that means you can go back to sleep."
"I'm afraid I'm too awake for that now."
"I bet you'll be asleep within ten minutes."
"We'll see about that. Bye, Ella."
"Bye."
