Experimental fiction: Dialogue only

"Shhh! Be quiet or they'll hear you!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump the table."
"It's OK, just stay still and be quiet."
"But Mike, what are you doing wandering around the hall so late? If Mom and Dad knew you were still up they would be really mad."
"Pff. Like I care. I'm going out with some friends."
"You can't go out Mike! It's way past your bedtime! And Mom and Dad would really, really, be angry with you if they found out!"


"But they aren't going to find out."
"How can you say that so confidently?"
"Because they keep there door shut while they sleep. Plus, dad snores so loudly that mom couldn't hear anything over that anyway."
"I don't know Mike, I don't think you should go out."
"For the last time Kate, be quiet. If you wake them up because you aren't whispering I'm going to be really mad at you."
"I'm sorry. But why do you want to go out now? You can go out during the day with your friends so why sneak out now?"
"Because I'm going to go to a party with John."
"But Dad said you couldn't go to that party!"
"Keep you voice down Kate. Shoot, be quiet I think I can hear noises from Mom and Dad's room. I swear Kate, if you blow this for me I'm going to be so mad at you."
"Sorry."
"Look, I'm going downstairs to wait for John, you go back to bed and not a word to Mom or Dad, got it?"
"OK, OK. But I still don't think you should go."
"What did I just say? Why are you following me down the stairs?"
"I want glass of water."
"More like you want to be a pain in the butt."
"Why are you looking out the window?"
"I told you I'm waiting for John. Sheesh. Do you ever listen?"
"You should keep your voice down if you don't want Mom and Dad to hear you."
"You really are such a pain. Good, John is here. Now you go to bed and don't even think of telling Mom and Dad about this."
"But Mike, I really don't think you should go."
"Look, if you tell Mom and Dad, I'm going to tell everyone at school that you still play with My Little Ponies"."
"OK, OK. I won't tell them."
"Good."

"Hey Mike, what took you man?"
"My stupid little sister woke up and was pestering me."
"Ah man. She isn't going to rat you out to your folks is she?"
"Nah. I told her that if she squealed that I would tell everyone at school that she plays with My Little Ponies'."
"Nice one Mike. Here, have a swig of this."
"What is it?"'
"It's some whiskey that Rich got me."
"Dude, your brother rules."
"Yeah, he's always getting me stuff."
"Bahh. This stuff is strong."
"Hey you're not going to throw-up are you? You can't throw-up in the car. My parents will
