The Moon Above You and the Streets Below

Marley: Uh huh, sureeee :-p Hey, no thinking like that allowed! You guys convinced me that I was good enough to come here and give it a shot. But you were already here, which means you knew you were good enough to give it a try. Your lucky break's out there just waiting for you to find it, Ryder. You're one of the most talented people I know.

Marley: Right? I know what I'm getting for you the next time there's an occasion that calls for presents :)

Marley: If you say so. I'm not even sure he wants me at his showcase anymore. I asked and he just said that anyone can buy tickets.

Ryder: Well I don't have any Monster posters in my room and I don't read 5 hr energy fanfic so...yeah, very sure :P

Ryder: Well yeah, because you're awesome and your songs are awesome, and you could totally be like...the next Taylor Swift, but better. I kind of...I went to this audition for this little commercial last week and you should have seen it, there were like 80 other guys there that looked just like me or better, and they're probably really talented too.

Ryder: I'm holding you to that.

Marley: You mean you don't celebrate your energy drink anniversary every year? I kind of do that with a yearly reread of The Hunger Games...oops. You don't need Disneyland for that, you could try for a Disney role on Broadway! I know you're more interested in the acting than the singing, but I'd abandon my plan to just record albums in a heartbeat if I could be Belle on stage!

Marley: Okay, okay! Star Wars pillow picture message coming your way :-p

Marley: We're not fighting. He just... feels weird and distant. But that's been a recurring theme every since we broke up, so it shouldn't be a big deal. I just need to get used to the fact that we're never going to be the best of friends, I guess, no matter how important he is to me.

Ryder: I don't think energy drinks mean as much to me as THG does to you :P I guess, but it would depend on the role, and New York has like a billion other actors who are way, way better at this stuff than me.

Ryder: OHhhhh my god that looks so awesome

Marley: Definitely still counts! Especially if you were already drinking energy drinks back then because it takes a lot to sit and focus on an audio book! Note to self, pick a more original Disney prince to think of you as :-p

Marley: Of course I have a picture! You didn't really think I'd disappoint you like that, did you? O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-)

Marley: You don't have to, Ryder. Really, it's okay. I'm sure it'll be fine? I don't want to put you in the middle.

Ryder: How long /have/ I been drinking energy drinks....eesh. It's not so bad, I like to look at the books while I listen. Ugh, I still wish there was a Disneyland in NYC so I could try and play one of the Disney Princes. I mean I probably couldn't but the opportunity would be there.

Ryder: Lemme see!

Marley: Tom Sawyer's still a classic. And the dialect in it is pretty complicated sometimes, so you get bonus points for that, duh. No way. That's not actually the reason you transferred, it is?

Marley: There are never enough pillows! Besides, I found a cool Star Wars one that kind of reminded me of you. Maybe O:-)

Marley: No, no, we're fine. I mean, we were fine. I don't know. I think he's upset at me, but maybe he's just stressed out about his performance coming up.

Ryder: I had to listen to it on tape, we were reading it for a thing back in middle school and the dialect was messing me up, but it still counts! No, but it did get old pretty fast. Not that I'm complaining cuz the dude was pretty cool.

Ryder: Oooh really? Do you have a picture? Hey! Don't Angel emoji me! you can't get off that easy.

Marley: You never read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass? Lion King's a great one, but my favorite's Beauty and the Beast. Or maybe Tangled; Rapunzel and Mandy Moore? Total win!

Marley: We could settle for buying you a lot more pillows for your own protection. Hey! You don't get an observer's viewpoint on what you're like with that much caffeine :-p

Marley: Oh, um, nothing. Don't worry about it, okay?

Ryder: No...I've read Tom Sawyer though! ...I know that has nothing to do with anything, but I couldn't think of any other books. Oh god...Tangled. I had to move from my old school because people kept calling me Flynn Ryder.

Ryder: Oooh...I'd be up for that. Oh god.../am/ I that crazy???

Marley: It worked for Popeye! ...sometimes. The Cheshire Cat's really creepy. Confession: I love the Wonderland books, but I can't deal with the movies because they're too trippy and give me nightmares. Really really big Ryder smile sounds perfect :)

Marley: That kind of sounds like a huge pick me up! Someone should get you like... padded walls to protect you when you start bouncing off of them for drinking those.

Marley: Oh. Uh, right - maybe I will if I talk to him anytime soon.

Ryder: I really don't want Popeye...anything. Wait, there's books? Since when?! OH god I know, that movie gave me the creeps when I was little. Would rather go for Lion King or something.

Ryder: I think those only come with mental institutions, and I'm not /that/ crazy :P

Marley: Okay, now I'm trying REALLY hard no to imagine spinach in your teeth... Green maybe wasn't the best description :-p

Marley: Okay, good :) That makes me feel a lot better.

Marley: Ryder, why on earth do you need to be awake for 24 hours straight?!

Ryder: Oh..yeah that's not attractive XD How about the Cheshire cat of smiles? Wait, nevermind. That's creepy. It's just a really, really big smile =D

Ryder: Good :)

Ryder: Uh...well technically I didn't. I was up really late doing a paper and I just needed...y'know...a little pick me up.
