Do you talk a lot on the phone?
Not these days, but back in 5th and 6th grade, I talked for hours every day with my best friend Kevin, before we drifted apart and he moved to Jersey. The bulk of our conversations was a concept about two brothers and their elemental powers involving the sun and the moon. And we had a lot of fun, just making up stories about time travel and random everyday occurrences. I also remember having a ridiculous cast, with a sister named Megan (we both loved Drake and Josh), two twins with the power of fire and water, and their mother becoming the president of the United States. I believe. We eventually wrote out my sun character, by saying he was the prince of the sun and had to return to lead his people, just so we could focus more on the twins. There were also tales of evil doppelgangers, super-speed, super-stupidity, a musical curse, etc. We called the entire thing "Generation X," and told each other it would have hundreds of episodes. Good times.
