The Comic Relief Guy

“So I’m the comic relief guy?”

“Yup, so it says.”

“But I don’t want to be the comic relief guy; the comic relief guy usually dies in the end of the movie!”

“Then, you should be glad that life is not a movie.”

“How do you know? We could be in something like the Truman Show, our every move recorded on a camera, our every conversation taped, the whole of the world could be watching us! We could be on the Jason and Kath Show right now, and we don’t even know it.”

“We should sue.”

“Stop smirking Kath, I’m serious.”

“So am I.”

“You’re mocking me, aren’t you?”

“Me? Nah! I would never dare mock the comic relief guy.”

“That quiz is a liar, it lies I tell you, it lies!”

“Oh yes, because you only spent an hour very carefully deciding you answers, didn’t you? Of course it would lie after that.”

“I lied in my answers. I was trying to be cool.”

Laughter.

“That’s got to be the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard!”

“Shut up. This stupid quiz is too stupid to believe. I refuse to believe that I am the comic relief guy.”

“Look Jason, not everyone was cut out to be…hmmm…let’s see what the other results are.”

A long pause.

“Oh this is rich! I got the comic relief guy instead of Mr. Hot n’ Happening? That’s just twisted man; it’s a cruel world we’re living in.”

“I’m sure.”

“It is! It’s like one of those ‘You Know’ things. 'You know the world is coming to an end when a personality quiz states that Jason Jones is the comic relief guy'.”

“I agree, you should have gotten the Drama King instead.”

“Shut up Kath, for all you know I could be right.”

Pause.

A crash.

“Is that a meteor I see? Oh no…we should deck for cover! Come on Kath, I’m taking you with me. If it’s only you and I left in this cruel and destructive world, at least we’ll be able to have babies and restart the human species.”

“Let go Jason, that was a baseball you dunderhead, and ew, I refuse to repopulate the world with your babies.”

"They'd be yours too!"

"No Jason, I don't want to have your babies."

“That harsh man, way harsh. This comic relief guy thing is totally killing my style.”

“Look, it’s only a quiz, what are you getting so worked up about?”

“It’s only a quiz? It’s only a quiz? It’s a quiz that states how girls see you! Tell me truthfully Kath, what type of guy do you see me as?”

Silence.

“I hate you.”

“Aw, come on Jason, being the comic relief guy isn’t so bad!”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah! A lot of girls prefer the comic relief guy over the Hot n’ Happening dude, and definitely over the Drama King.”

“Name me one.”

Mumble.

“What? I couldn’t hear you Kath, speak up. See, I bet you don’t even know any-”

“Me! Ok? Me. I love the comic relief guy.”

A/N: Aww, I always love the comic relief guys and the villains more than I love the hero. Well, I just wrote this in a spur of the moment thing, and because the darkness of Friends, Forests and Funerals was getting to me, as well as the drama of F.A.C. (I’m pimping my own stories, go me!). And I've always wanted to write a silly, fluffy story with only dialogue.

Plus, I kind of like it. I love comedy, and one day I’m going to write a proper comedy/romance story. Oh! And….I also wrote this to prove to my sister I can write comedies. At least, I hope I can write comedies– help me prove that I can!

Till then, much love from me, and do no hesitate to click the review button. I would mucho love you if you left one (it’s kind of like leaving cookies for Santa).
