conversations

So, maybe there were once these two friends walking home from school together, and although they weren't that great of friends in the halls at school, they were more talkative after school. He'd say things like "I love the Discovery channel. The Discovery channel is the only one I want to watch." She'd say something like, "Well, I used to live on an island where people believe that fairies actually exist. So, I believe that fairies can exist too." And this is not necessarily what he believes, but he says, it is kind of interesting sounding, like maybe it was something that people once believed in long ago. She says, "where did you get that idea?" "Oh I don't know, it just kind of came to me," he says. (And the fairies benevolently smile at them.)
And, they talk about songs from the musical, Cats. She is surprised to find out that he likes the Mr. Mistoffolees song.
She says "Really?" And she maybe sounds just a bit scornful because sometimes she is a little bit callous, perhaps because there is a little bit of West Point in her background. And she says, "But that song is nothing at all compared to Macavity. I mean, Macavity just seems like a cat with all this experience in life, and he just sounds so much more interesting. Mr. Mistoffolees is alright and everything, but I think he's kind of...boring?"
(The fairies shake their heads at her young foolishness and sigh. Or, perhaps, a few wickedly grin.)
"Well," she says airily, "see you later." Then she goes off to her house, and he goes off to his. And he thinks, "Great. Thats just great. She likes Macavity better than the Magical Mr. Mistoffolees."
