"Yesterday"

This post is part of a series: Part I, “Foundations,” Part II, "Slow," Part III, "The Great Divide," Part IV, "Chasing Pirates."

Bunny and Fiya are stupid drunk which means there's a lot of slurring and giggles. They are in the kitchen with teen magazines from the late 90s spread out on the table. 

Bunny: Why do you still have these? 

Fiya: They meant a lot to me and I never got around to throwing them out.

Bunny: Josh Harnett is still soooooooooooooooooo cute. 

Bunny and Fiya are set off into a fit of laughter.

Fiya: Oh my God. what happened to him and that guy from A Walk to Remember. 

Bunny: Oh yeah. Yeah. What's his name. Shane…

Fiya: (cuts Bunny off) WEST! 

Bunny: Yeah. We never cheersed! "Here's to my future!"

Fiya: "Here's to my yesterday." 

Bunny & Fiya: "Here's to change." 

They clumsily clink their glasses, spilling and chugging what's left. 

Fiya: Ready for some more?

Bunny: I shouldn't. But yes. 

Fiya pours more. 

Bunny: Oh what you said… Um… "Oh, here's to my yesterday" I just want to say. 

Bunny pauses trying to remember her train of thought.

Fiya: What do you want to say?

Bunny: Right. "No tomorrow without a yesterday." 

Fiya: Such a philosopher.

Fiya raises her glass. 

Fiya:  "Here's to my future."

Bunny: "Goodbye to yesterday."

Fiya: I'm so glad we're roommates. 

Bunny: Yeah.

Fiya: No seriously. Listen. "All these years I've been searching" for true friends and "for who I'm supposed to be" and I think you and I are finally figuring all of that out.

Bunny: Before today, it was just "all this time I've been wasting." Wasting it on stupid relationships and pining and bad situations. And I used to think you were too straight and narrow, but you aren't you just get more done than anyone I know. Oh my God I get it. We were supposed to be roomies. "'Cause I was right in front of me" and I didn’t get it until now. 

Fiya: Glad I could help. You scared me when you first moved in. 

Bunny: "Oh" why? I'm not scary!

Fiya: You were so much cooler and you went against a lot of my notions on being a person. It’s like "a crooked old tradition." Some traditions suck. 

Bunny: I can be annoying, especially to parents. I can be a nerd too! Watch.

Bunny does a simple magic trick with a coin.

Bunny: I'm "a masterful magician."

Fiya: No! Why am I just seeing this?

Bunny: Only four people in my adult life know I know magic. If more people knew than there'd be trouble.

Fiya: What kind of trouble?

Bunny: Listen. "In all this trouble I've met" some weirdos and I can't hang out with other magicians. And I can't tell anyone what happened because there were lawyers. Shhhhhhhhhhhh!

Fiya: (slurs) Are you okay?

Bunny: Yah. I'm fine. "I haven't got one single regret, no." But guess what?

Bunny raises her glass and Fiya follows.

Bunny: "Here's to my future."

Fiya: "Here's to my yesterday."

Bunny & Fiya: "Here's to change!"
