I'm really sorry for how long it's been. I guess I've had writer's block mixed with a really busy month in both good and bad ways. [and example of the good way is I now own a moped, although you probably don't care :P]

I was wondering if you guys think I should enter the Wattys? The categories, I have to admit, are pretty bad this year and the only one I could even have the slightest chance at winning is the Surprise Award thing, which doesn't make sense. But I don't know, thought maybe I should, what do you think? [again, you probably don't care :P]

This chapter is inspired by @The_Writing_Dreamer, who gave me the prompt which got me writing. :)

A: "Thank you for letting me come along to help choose your car, by the way."

E: "Letting you? You turned up and refused to leave."

A: "Eli, you need my expertise."

E: "Yeah, you're such an expert that you can't even pass your test."

A: "Don't be rude."

E: "And you will not be choosing my car."

A: "But-"

E: "I will be choosing my car. I am going to be driving it and you will be the peasant in the passenger seat. And if you piss me off, you can sit in the back because-"

A: "ELI! Look at that car!"

E: "Which one?"

A: "THAT ONE! Oh, isn't it the cutest thing you have ever seen?"

E: "Aeryn?"

A: "Yes?"

E: "That is probably the most hideous car I have ever seen."

A: "Eli!"

E: "Can you even see it? It's bright yellow and looks like it could fall apart any second!"

A: "But Eli, it's adorable!"

E: "It would ruin my reputation."

A: "Reputation?"

E: "Yes."

A: "Oh, I wasn't aware you had one."

E: "If this is your way of flattering me into buying that monstrosity it's really no working."

A: "I'm sorry, but please-"

E: "No."

A: "Please?"

E: "No!"

A: "Pretty please?"

E: "Aeryn, it's my car."

A: "With a cherry on top?"

E: "It's fluorescent."

A: "It's perfect."

E: "When you get a car, you can get this beast."

A: "I'll love you forever if you buy this car."

E: "Weak."

A: "I'll give you half the money towards it?"

E: "...deal."

A: "I always win."

E: "I can change my mind."

A: "Okay, I'll shut up."
