Bus Ride Home

"Hey Race."

"Don't sit next to me."

"So, I heard you killed an adorable little bunny today."

"Don't talk to me."

"I also heard you got a Delancy sent to the principals office."

"I can hear myself talking, can no one else?"

"By the way, how's Birtha?"

"Stop talking. Please."

"Oh, and Crutchy told me that you went into the girls bathroom today."

"Do you just put yourself on auto-pilot when you talk to me?"

"I mean, the girls bathroom? How ridiculous is that?"

"Am I speaking English? Shut up!"

"Ooh.....someone needs to take a chill-pill."

"Ya, well you know what Spot?"

"What?"

"Well.......uh........I don't know what. I was kinda hoping you wouldn't ask."

"Nice."

"Well, it's your fault too. Don't you know not to ask 'what' when someone says 'you know what'?"

"....."

"It's common knowledge Spot. Common knowledge."

"Really, Race? Is it now?"

"Yup."

"Hmm.......and how come I've never heard this?"

"Because you're not cool enough to know this stuff."

"Well, now you've just proved that you're making this stuff up Race."

"How so?"

"Because, I am the coolest person in the world?"

"Ya........right."

"Yup, it's true."

"I highly doubt that."

"It's true. Just ask the cheerleaders....."

"Ya, the cheerleaders think you're cool - and Birtha is a real person."

"Well, in that case.... I am truly sorry that I made fun of Birtha. She is clearly a real person."

"How can you be so cocky?"

"It's not being cocky if it's true."

"But it's not true, therefore it's being cocky."

"Well, I'm cooler than you just because I don't say things like 'therefore'."

"What's wrong with the word 'therefore'?"

"It's dumb. No one uses that phrase."

"I do"

"Well Race, what does that say about you?"

"Whatever."

"Aww. Someone looks upset. Does little Racey-poo need his nappy-whappy?"

"Shut. Up. Spot."

"Make me."

"I will."

"Fine."

"Fine."

"........"

"........."

"See. I told you."

"What?"

"I made you stop talking."

"But you didn't do anything. I was waiting for you to hit me or something."

"Did I say I was going to hit you?"

"No, but I ...."

"You ASSUMED that I was going to hit you. And we all know what happens when you ASSUME."

"Oh please Race, that line is SO overused."

"Are you kidding, I'm the only one who says it."

"Let me correct my last phrase. That line is so overused by you. I that better?"

"Oh, you're real funny Spot."

"Wow, sarcasm. That's original!" (A/N - please tell me that someone gets that reference! I'll give a cookie to whoever does!)

"........ok move."

"Why?"

"This is my stop, and I need to get off this bus and end this terrible day."

"Make me.....ow!"

"Have fun on the bus Spot."

"Pissy. Pissy. Maybe I hope you're in a better mood tomorrow!"

A/N - tada!! :) what did ya think? this story may be over but....keep your eye out for A Typical Racetrack Halloween. and maybe if that gets a good response i'll have to make Racetrack have a bad every holiday! poor Race....
