I'm going to try and get in touch with Lucy Smith if you want to come over.

[Filtered to the Smith house.]

Hello, may I speak with Lucy Smith please?

Alright. I'll be right over.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll wait till you get here. England, Sophie and Sealand are all out so now's a good time.

[kimitoaruiteku.livejournal.com]

[Makes his way over and arrives shortly!]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She's waiting for him and lets him inside the house. She's a little nervous but tries not to let it show.]

Hey.

So do you think we should both call or just me?

[kimitoaruiteku.livejournal.com]

Why don't you try first... She might be more willing to talk if she thinks it's just one on one.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She nods]

Alright. We'll try that.

[And she takes a deep breath as she goes over to the phone.]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[And he would have heard all her side of the conversation and after hanging up the phone she sighs and puts her face in her hands]

That went well....

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid Lucy isn't home right now, dear. May I ask what you want from her?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Doing her best to sound like a normal child]

Oh. I just wanted to know if she could come over and play.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's so sweet of you! Lucy doesn't have many friends, poor dear. But I'm afraid she's not home right now.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Well could you tell her that Tiffany Aching called please?

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Of course, dear. I'll be happy to

[a young boy's voice butts in.]

Aw, mom, don't be silly. Lucy wouldn't wanna play with a dumb girl like this one!

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Just smiles and ignores the boy]

Thank you very much Mrs. Smith.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

It's not nice to ignore people, you know!

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. You're Billy aren't you?

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Yepper, that's me! And you are?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Tiffany Kirkland.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Well, it's super nifty to meet you, Tiffany, but I don't think you should call here anymore. My sister wouldn't wanna play with a dumb girl like you anyway.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Why not? Your sister is a girl too isn't she?

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but she's not a dumb girl.

Like you are.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

And why do you think I'm dumb?

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

You have a dumb voice.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't judge people by how they sound you know.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Well too bad, because I do, and so does my sister. So there.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Why do you do that?

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Give me a reason we shouldn't.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Because it's not really a person's voice that matters, so much as what they are saying.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

And what are you saying, Miss Aching?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

At the moment, that you shouldn't judge people by their voice alone.

A little while ago I was asking if I could speak to your sister.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Well, you can't. Why do you want to talk to her, really? I know you don't just want to play.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I'd like to get to know her a little better. That's all.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's nice of you.

But it isn't going to happen. Sorry! [he does not sound sorry in the slightest.]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

And do you have any other reason for this aside from not liking my voice?

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

I do, but I don't have to share them with a dumb girl like you.

So I suggest you buzz off! You know, for your own sake.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Really, and what do you mean by that?

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Mean by what, lady? Haha, you're weird. I'm done talking to you.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I see. Well thank you for talking to me.

[mayfield-mods.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah.

Just remember what I said. ...For your own sake!
