"Can you pull this off?" - Ms. Smarty.
"Sure, it's a piece of cake?" - Ms. Courage.
"Shouldn't sound like a cock and bull story." - Ms. S
Ms. C - "Forever a doubting Thomas you are!"
"Ok then, get down to the brass track babes...the ball is in your court." Ms. S winks.
Ms. C playfully punches Ms. S on the shoulders. "You think I am jaywalking around this? It takes two to Tango. Either hold your horses or join the bandwagon. The latter is better."
Ms. S rolls her eyes. "Ya ya...actions speak louder than words. Stop beating around the bush and get down to work. You do well on your own."
"Rome wasn't built in a day!" Ms. C shrugs her shoulders.
"Hahaha...feeling the heat? Face the music...everyone is done. They plan. Look at you. Procrastinating always. Serves you right for taking up challenges."
"Don't remind me. I work well under pressure," sighs Ms. C "Stop your knee jerk reaction and let me think," and sheepishly, "you know I need you."
"Bingo! you hit the nail on the head! Common, let's leave no stone unturned. Pull up your socks and let's rock!" Ms. Smarty is raring to go.
Ms. Courage throws up her hand, " Always a drama queen, aren't you?"
