Ashley was on her cell phone.  “Yes, I’m writing the time down as we speak,” Ashley stated sarcastically.  “I will be there, I’m just counting the moments.”  Spencer walked into her room and sat down on her bed. She noticed that Ashley rolled her eyes and hung up.

“What’s going on, Ash?” asked Spencer with curiosity.

“I was called in for a stupid eye appointment,” Ashley answered with a sigh.  “It’s not like I have problems seeing or anything.”

“Oh, that’s not so bad,” stated Spencer.  “I happen to have 20/20 vision and I still have to go every now and then.”

“Don’t rub it in,” Ashley joked.

“I am not rubbing it in!” protested Spencer.

“Sure,” Ashley responded unconvinced.  I have 40/20 vision so I don’t need to wear glasses or anything.  You would think that it’s the other way around and I have the perfect vision since you always used to trip fifty percent of the time that I saw you.”

“Not always,” responded Spencer.  “It was only when I saw you and you smiled at me that I lost my cool and tripped over my feet.  I so dropped down in cool points for saying that, didn’t I?”

“You never dropped down in the cool points in my book so no worries,” Ashley explained.  “The thing with the appointment is that the doctor needs to do something to my eyes so I can’t see for several hours.  I need my ability to see so that I could see my gorgeous girlfriend and be able to kiss her and hug her.  I don’t want to be deprived of that.”

“Oh you mean that they are going to dilate your pupils?” said Spencer.  “You could always picture me in your mind.  We could still hug one another and kiss.  You won’t be deprived of anything.”

“That’s the word, dilate,” Ashley replied.  “I knew that you would know what I’m talking about.  You’re so damn brilliant.”  Spencer chuckled. 

“Thanks, but not really,” pointed out Spencer.

“Yes, you are,” Ashley stated.  “You wouldn’t be taking AP courses then.”

“When you have Paula Carlin as a mother you are forced to,” responded Spencer.

“True, we could do what you said, but the real Spencer is way more beautiful and a lot better than the one in my thoughts and dreams,” Ashley explained.  “I still like having my vision.  It’s something that you just take advantage of.  I don’t plan on taking a bus just to get my eyes dilated, so I’m not going.  There, I dodged a bullet.”
