Alessa:You really are. Anyway, what is the saying… Do not look a gift donkey in the mouth.
Maverick::P Gift HORSE, sweetheart.
Maverick:Did you write that just to make me smile?
Alessa:Maybe.
Maverick:Maybe you ARE a Hufflepuff. A Ravenclaw wouldn’t admit to that.
Alessa:I’m not ashamed of my house.
Maverick:Lol. If she makes us watch any more of those movies, I’m going to have to bring out Star Wars, and I don’t think she’s ready for that.
Alessa:I’ve never watched them.
Maverick:Shut the front door.
Alessa:What? It’s locked.
Maverick:No. It doesn’t mean that. Never mind. You’ve never seen Star Wars? They had to have showed it in Ukraine.
Alessa:They did. It was not Saturn where I was born, Jameson. But it isn’t to my taste.
Maverick:That’s because you haven’t watched it. Yet. You’re going to love it.
Alessa:I don’t want to watch it.
Maverick:You have to. I can’t deal with any more boy wizards. My brain’s gonna blow.
Alessa:It is?!
Maverick:I didn’t mean literally, honey. We need to work on your colloquialisms.
Alessa:This is a common saying?
Maverick:Not exactly.
Alessa:Then why do I need to learn it?
Maverick:Never mind. Okay, this weekend, I’m gonna cheer Kati up with a Star Wars’ marathon.
Alessa:This is to cheer her up? Not down?
Maverick:You can’t cheer someone down.
Alessa:Why not?
Maverick:Because you can’t.
Alessa:These words make no sense.
Maverick:I know, babe. You’re doing so well, though.
Alessa:Thank you. <3
Maverick:No need to thank me. :*
Alessa:Kati has asked me not to go to the principal about her bullies. Do you think I should ignore her?
