Anonymous Guest asked: prompt: "i have a message from another time."
"I have a message from another time."
"I've known you your whole life, though."
She laughed, fluttered a piece of paper in front of their face. "No, dumbass. I have a message from another time in my hand."
"Well," they said, rolling their eyes. "Quit calling me a dumbass and read it."
She straightened up, made a grand show of holding the paper before her at some imagined 'best' distance, cleared her throat, and read aloud, "Buy stock in Pets.com, sell stock in Enron."
They sat, nonplussed. "Wait."
She grinned, eyebrow raised, waited.
"Wait, didn't Pets.com go out of business?"
"Mmhm."
"And didn't Enron have a huge scandal?"
"Yeah."
"So by another time, you mean..."
"Years ago, yep!"
They laughed and shook their head. "Dumbass."
