Finn is God
I wish this poor Dana girl well, poor thing... I'm joking! I'm sure they will be engaged by the end of the date. Aha! And then we can dance at the wedding. I will wear a purple tuxedo so that I stand out and can be identifiable next to Flat Finn. (Must make sure FF does not wear similar suit. Disaster!)
Julie Seagle
You're warped.
Finn is God
You are not the first, and will not be the last, to say so. I wear my "warped" label with pride. On my lapel. A lapel label!
Finn is God
You have no impending events yourself?
Julie Seagle
I've been taking it easy since the Polar Plunge. A frail girl like myself only has so much stamina, you know.
Finn is God
Ha! Weak you are not. I was very impressed by your daring feat. Terrified, but impressed. But maybe you have a date yourself...?
Julie Seagle
Nope. Not interested in anyone here.
Finn is God
Good. Just checking. I mean, you should go out with whomever you want, of course.
Julie Seagle
Oh.
Finn is God
But I don't want you to go out with anyone. Is that unfair of me?
Julie Seagle
It would be unfair if I were not going out with anyone else just because you didn't want me to. I'm waiting.
Finn is God
Waiting for what?
Julie Seagle
Just waiting. Maybe waiting for you. (Which, as it turns out, is a lot like waiting for Godot.) But that sounds crazy.
Finn is God
I'm glad you're maybe waiting for me, crazy girl. (FYI, that play is based on one of my past lives, but I totally didn't get any financial kickback. Publishing bastards!) And Julie, my dear, you get to see me all the time... in flat form. I'm dashing, yes?
Julie Seagle
A regular heartthrob, although I'm dying to catch sight of a three-dimensional you someday.
Finn is God
Believe me, I've thought about a three-dimensional you plenty.
Julie Seagle
I'm hoping that just sounds creepier than it actually is. Hey, Finn?
Finn is God
Yeeeeeessss?
Julie Seagle
Remember when I was stuck in the elevator? We got interrupted.
Finn is God
We did.
Julie Seagle
I want to know how the skydiving story ends. What you say to me and how we land.
Finn is God
OK. I was hoping you'd ask. I'll tell you.
Finn is God
When we last saw our hero and heroine, they had just pulled the chute and were drifting. What will happen next, concerned viewer? Will our brave couple have their chute torn to shreds by a savage vampire seagull? Will a freakish tornado appear and suck them into a swirling wind current? Stay tuned...
Julie Seagle
Finn!
Finn is God
Ohhhhhh. You want the good version.
Julie Seagle
Yes.
Finn is God
The slow version.
Julie Seagle
Yes.
Finn is God
The hot version.
Julie Seagle
Yes.
Finn is God
I gotcha. I like that one better too. Ready? Here we go...
So we've pulled the chute, and we're drifting, riding the sky. It's just you and me. You can hear me now that we're falling like this, remember? I tell you that I don't want this to end. I don't want to land and reach the real world, because I like our world up here better.
Finn is God
I tell you that I like being this close to you and how you feel against me. But now even I'm hesitant to jump. I'm afraid that when we hit the ground, this will be over. We'll land and this feeling between us will vanish. That you won't feel it any longer. I can't stand that thought.
Julie's hands shook as she wrote.
Julie Seagle
I'll still feel it.
