Just an Olde Fashioned Love Song by Usoki R

"Alright," said Alex. "I can't say that you're making a wise decision, but I do admire your...ummm, not really honesty...pig-headed stubborness! That's the term I'm looking for!"

"What?" said Gunther, irritated. "Love is something you've gotta do right! I can't just cheat myself into a freakin' life partner!"

"Sure you can," said Alex. "It worked for my parents. Heck, all of my friendships have been started the same way!"

"That doesn't make it right," Gunther said, simply.

"I disagree, but I'm obviously not going to be able to sway your beliefs. If I may address your memory wipe?"

"Why, yes you may. Quite so. Pip pip."

"Oh, fuck off," replied Alex, smiling. "Anyway, here's the thing. By the time I'm done, you won't rememer any of our conversation. For all you'll know, I never asked you for a beer."

"How do I know you won't alter my personality or something?"

Alex smiled. "You won't. If it helps, though, you'd never know the difference. I could turn you into a chicken and make you think you've been a bird all your life."

"How in the hell is that supposed to put me at ease?"

"Simple. If I wanted to change you, I'd already have done it by now. For all you know, I already have."

"You bastard," replied Gunther, smiling. "Do take anything seriously? I mean-" Gunther's face drooped, and his eyes widened.

"See you later, man," said Alex.
