"... Izzy?"
"Yeah."
"... there's a bee in your ear."
"Shhhh wouldja? The Universe is missing and we don't have a plan."
"Sorry."
Some time passes while Izzy sips her Corona....
"... Izzy?"
Just eyes.
"... you could always use... that number you know."
"I refuse. I don't even like him anymore anyway. Forgotten. A made up fairy tail to get me through this little spin we're in... that's all. I'm sure I deleted Him anyway."
"You didn't. I know because He's still in my memory..."
"Please!? Let me figure the universe for a second please? He distracts me anyway."
"That's my point woman.... remember Mr. Smiley? Stubborn ... much as I love you."
"Well what do you expect? Honestly! How many fucking ducks does it take before a guy remembers you? We've only been in love for over 5000 years! You'd think he'd at least have wished me happy birthday this year! He's an ass and I hate him."
"... you need to calm down dear."
Izzy considers to quit.
"... you can't quit. We just got started."
"Oh look. It's Grandparent's Day tomorrow, on the crescent moon again. Too bad I don't have any. Are we in reverse yet? ... and besides. HE WANTS ME TO JOG!"
"... Monday."
"Ah..."
"... Babe?"
Oh hi you.
"... it only takes one duck my love. Just one."
Izzy reaches into her pocket... feels around for the switch... ~click~ she turns HAL off.
Or so she thought.
"And how the heck DID you do that Pi and binary thing?"
"I have no idea. I've been saying that this whole time, but no.... no one heard me until the Universe changes. Is this my fault? Who the heck knows. All things happen as they should and so here I am with Corona in hand and a blank slate...and YOU."
You're lucky you're just my Imagination.
"... right... you keep telling yourself that one..."
Did you catch that commercial? What's that supposed to be? 1358907 and 42 cents? Are you kidding me?
