Happy Tashi I love a good pedicure, don’t you?

Happy Mel This is relaxing, I’ll admit.

Tashi Mmm. And then we can get the waxing, yes?

Angry Mel No thank you.

Tashi What is wrong with a nice waxing?

Angry Mel Shaving, fine, I can deal with that, but waxing? Having things stuck to you and then ripped free? How is that anyone’s idea of a good time?

Happy Tashi No, it is about the results. Much smoother than shaving, longer results…

Angry Mel More pain.

Tashi Brief pain.

Mel Nuh-uh, that’s the kinda pain that lingers.

Happy Tashi Well fine then, sit back and enjoy this.

Happy Mel I am.

Tashi And while you do, talk to me about young Jacob.

Mel Huh?

Tashi You two are no longer together. Why not?

Mel Well at least you aren’t subtle.

Happy Tashi Am I ever?

Happy Mel Not really.

Happy Tashi Then, yes, dearling, why?

Mel I don’t know. It was right. We’re good friends. The relationship end was just… not us, not really.

Tashi And that’s it? No sorrow, no angst, just no longer together?

Happy Mel Pretty much, yup.

Tashi I admire it, I do. But I admit…

Mel You wish there was some drama?

Tashi Well not because I wish either of you two ill, I just do enjoy gossip, especially while at a salon. They’re built for it, I think.

Happy Mel Sorry, no drama here. Why don’t you date someone and you can have all the drama you want?

Happy Tashi I do not want drama in my own doings! I much prefer vicarious drama.

Happy Mel Drama you can walk away from.

Happy Tashi Yes!

Happy Mel Well I’m so not sorry to disappoint you, this time.

Happy Tashi Fair enough, honey. Fair enough. Except…

Mel Hmm?

Tashi Are you sure you want to go with that color for your toes?

Happy Mel What’s wrong with it?

Tashi To start with it’s neon pink.

Happy Mel Uh-huh, and?

Happy Tashi Well. It’s neon pink.

Happy Mel Right. What’s the problem?

Happy Tashi Did Hello Kitty vomit on your feet?

Happy Mel Ew!

Happy Tashi And that is my point!

Happy Mel I was fine with the color until you put that in my head. Come on!

Happy Tashi Hello blarg!

Happy Mel Eww, stop it! She has no mouth! She can’t throw up!

Happy Tashi Maybe it comes out of her ears?

Happy Mel Ear vomit! Worse! Worse!

Happy Tashi You picked the color.

Happy Mel This is revenge for not having drama, isn’t it?

Happy Tashi I have to entertain myself somehow, dearling.
