Do you really believe that wishes can actually come true?

[sparkling_by]

What are you talking about? Isn't it on every fortune cookie wrapping?

[adamantined]

Isn't it labeled on every shooting star, every time the clock says 11:11, every time someone throws a penny into a well? I've just never seen any proof, but then I've never folded a thousand paper cranes either.

[sparkling_by]

But the whole point of a wish is having no proof at all, isn't it? It's just believing.

Yeah, until the wish doesn't come true and you're forced to accept the reality.

[adamantined]

I guess I'm just asking if you've ever had something come true.

What you described - that's not how wishes work. That's how bad luck happens.

And of course I have, every single day, by 10 p.m. sharp, there's a debt of good things meant to happen to handsome people that fortune isn't daring enough to not honour!

[adamantined]

Only handsome people? That doesn't sound like much of a wish. It sounds more like favoritism.

[sparkling_by]

Can you name a single person who isn't handsome somehow?

[adamantined]

Yeah, actually I can.

[sparkling_by]

Rewind, rewind! That's not what you're supposed to say at all!

[adamantined]

Sorry. I think I'm going through a non-conformist phase.

[sparkling_by]

It's not the nicest thing to say, either. It's not a comment that belongs with a lady.

I hate to break it to you, but girls really aren't sugar and spice and everything nice.
