Phoebe thought very hard at Sloane's words. "Well, I don't want to be hated by a lot of people," she decided. Her stomach formed twisty knots at the thought, and she frowned as her small face contorted into a look of worry. "But if I had to be hated by a lot of people, I'd rather be able to reach the high-up shelves without their help." It was hard to be independent when you were small and clumsy and un-scary. Though it was hard to make friends when you were big and scary and green. Phoebe felt bad for Mr. Shrek. But on the flip side, Sloane thought she was doing just fine! "It's really nice of you to say that, Sloane." She smiled a little, and then climbed into her giant movie chair to settle down with her snacks and her blanket (her legs were too short to touch the ground). GIANT CAFFEINE SODA in hand, she had her eyes glued to the screen as they watched the movie.

She tried her best to be quiet, but she couldn't stop herself from making quiet exclamations at the best parts. She'd never ever in her whole life seen Shrek before!


Sloane could understand her want to not be hated. Sort of. Not really. She, herself, could not care less if the population on mass hated her. If members of her family could hate her, what did it matter if some random second year girl thought she was nasty. Trying her best to be some kind of friend however, Sloane gave her best smile, put one hand on Phoebe’s shoulder and said, “If they hate you, I’ll just curse them behind their back. It’s fine.” Her expression may have been pleasant, but she was deadly serious. No one messes with her…friends. “I guess that…makes sense? You can just use magic though. I mean, I’ve seen people summon things so maybe you could learn how to do that? Y’know, instead of me turning you into a green ogre.” As for the compliment, Sloane simply shrugged it off. She was being honest. If she thought Phoebe was being lame or struggling, she’d tell her and then help her. But she’d be brutally honest if she had to be.

Doing her best to get as comfy as possible, Sloane wiggled on the spot until she was as deep into the chair possible as the movie opened and the music hit. It was suuuuuch an old movie and the quality of it was very poor but she still enjoyed it none the less. Popcorn helped. Not the giggliest of children, even Sloane let slip a few giggles as the donkey began talking and flying. She liked him as a character but she would not have appreciated him as a friend.
