Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Mary Wollstonecraft, Rosa Parks, to name a few, were all people from my world--some still live today--who fought against an oppressive and unfair system. Apartheit, independance, women's rights, the first step to stopping racial segregation-- they were only people, small people who many would not remember, if not for

Nice speech, honey.

[arsenical]

Thank you, darling.

[arsenical]

You're in, of course.

[fortalkingback]

Sure. I figured. I'm not much for banner-waving, but I gotta support my lady.

[arsenical]

If you don't agree with the motion, don't join it.

[fortalkingback]

I agree with it enough. I just don't know what good it'll do.

Worth a try, though, huh?

[arsenical]

That's basically what it's about. Trying.

[fortalkingback]

Here's hoping we try hard enough.

[arsenical]

Yeah. Because personally, I don't want to go through the whole alternative universe thing again.

[fortalkingback]

Me, either.

[arsenical]

On a totally different topic, do you think we should have a normal-teenagers' date?

[fortalkingback]

Oh, man. I never really thought of that. We've never even been on a date before, have we?

Sure, if you want.

[arsenical]

Are we the sort of couple to go out and watch a movie, or to dinner, guy gets girl flowers, they talk about mundane things, girl lets him kiss her goodnight and cop a feel by the third date?

I'm just wondering. This is the first time I have a relationship.

[fortalkingback]

Pft. Third date nothing.

We could see if there's anything cool to do around here, nice places to eat or whatever. Who doesn't like a good meal?

/is totally going somewhere

[arsenical]

Yeeeah, we'll skip the third date rule.

I like a good meal. But we do eat together every day, and sleep together every night, and watch movies and stuff like that, so would that qualify as a permanent date?

wh-where?

[fortalkingback]

I never thought of it like that, but... Sort of, I guess.
