[Phone Call to Bes]

Um... Cal? I don't mean to bother you on a school night, but... I'm coming to New York next week along with my sister Mel and Apollo and their twins... And, well... I was wondering...

Do you have any Valentine's plans?

I'm sure there are worse things she could be addicted to.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I hear from the kids at the Club that My Little Pony addiction is pretty intense.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely. The wars over which one is best can be brutal.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Yep. When everyone knows Fluttershy is the best... *He trails off with a faint, self-deprecating laugh.*

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

There's no shame in being a brony. And she is very sweet.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I assure you I'm just taking the word of some 8 year old girls on this one.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

All right then. I know I played with them too when I was little.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I think my sisters still have theirs, actually. Leah used to claim all of the unicorns. Ingrid claimed the pegasi... Which pretty much left Anna to go crying to Mom because she didn't want to be stuck with the so-called Earth ponies.

... Huh, it kinda makes you feel bad for those ponies.

Every pony has something special.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Exactly. Way I understand it, that's the whole point of the marks on their butts.

*pauses* Wish more people would get that.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

You mean the cutie mark?

And hey. That's the great thing about teaching, isn't it? To guide young people to see it?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Yep, you're right. The kids are worth anything. Work, time, whatever...

And thanks for the proper terminology. Heh, I'll be impressing the 7 year old girls in no time now.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

As if they didn't already have kid-crushes on Mr. H?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

*faint laugh* If they do, it's only because I seem mature when compared to a 7 year old boy.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Nonsense! What isn't to like?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

About 7 year old boys? Well, they tend to do things like pull hair and shout a lot.

... Thanks... I, y'know... I'm really looking forward to meeting you face to face.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

So am I. I can't wait. I'm sure we're going to have an amazing time together.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I'll do my best to make sure you have fun. I'll, um, see you really soon, Amanda. Erato.

I better get some sleep before the kids do me in tomorrow. Have sweet dreams, huh?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, sorry. Wouldn't want to keep you up too late. Good night! Sweet dreams!
