"Cheap and Cheerful"

Shelly and Nci are sitting in a mall food court.

Shelly: “I’m bored.”

Nici: It’s the only place I could go with you.

Shelly: The mall is too “cheap.” There’s nothing “cheerful” here. 

Nici: My parents don’t want me spending a lot of money. The way these places are going out of business there’s really nothing to do here. They even put a emergency room over there and the police station is being built…in.the.mall. Yay for “hospitals bills” and “parole.”

Shelly: “I want expensive sadness.” This is that feeling.

Nici: I mean look at the sign over there. They literally have gone mad. “‘Open doors to madness’ sales.” They couldn’t have thought of anything else?

Shelly: Ugh. This is so stupid. Can we skip out and go somewhere else?

Nici: Where? We don’t have a car. Plus, I’m not getting in trouble because of you again.

Shelly: “I want you to be crazy!” Be spontaneous. Have more fun!

Nici: I am having fun. If you don’t want me as a friend then sure, I should get in trouble with you one more time. Why do you always bother me about it?

Shelly: “‘Cause you’re boring baby when you’re straight.”

Nici: Okay. 

Shelly: “I want you to be crazy ‘cause you’re stupid baby when you’re sane.”

Nici: Well that was uncalled for. 

Shelly shrugs.

Shelly: “I’m sick of social graces.” 

Nici: Obviously. Do you want to get some food? 

Shelly makes vampire noises and tries to pretend to drink blood from Nici’s neck. Nici swats her away.

Nici: Stop that. Don’t “show your sharp tipped teeth.” Are you on drugs?

Shelly: Hey now. Don’t “lose your cool in public.” I could eat. 

Nici: I’m going to get a sundae. You in?

Shelly: “You can’t survive on ice-cream.”

Nici rolls her eyes and starts to walk off. Shelly calls after her and catches up.
