DR. ELLA MINT: So, Water, why have you asked us all here today?

WATER: Well, I’m usually one to go with the flow…but it’s Fire. He’s always trying to steal my thunder!

FIRE: Oh, cry me a river.

EARTH: FIGURATIVELY! He meant that figuratively!

FIRE: Relax, Earth — of course I meant figuratively. You could probably use it, though; your skin’s looking a bit dry.

AIR: Ooo burn!…Literally.

FIRE: And what’s thunder got to do with you anyway? That’s Air’s wheelhouse if I’m not mistaken.

AIR: Oh-no. No, no, no. Do not bring me into this.

WATER: I just don’t see why we can’t all have our own time to shine.

EARTH: I mean…technically, you cover up the sun as it’s shining. So I’m not sure if you’re one to talk…

AIR: Damn, low blow Earth. You know that’s not what she meant.

FIRE: How can we be sure? She’s always so wishy-washy with her words.

WATER: That’s no fair! I try to be crystal clear, but you know I can get a bit muddy sometimes, especially when Earth’s around.

EARTH: Hey, don’t point fingers at me! I’m just trying to keep you grounded.

FIRE: Air could use some help with that.

AIR: Cool it, Fire! Water, I think it’s time you put him out.

DR. ELLA MINT: Woah, woah, woah. I’m gonna put a pin in this for just a moment. Let’s all step outside to get some fresh air.

AIR:…

FIRE: I mean, I wouldn’t exactly call her fresh…

EARTH: *gasp*

WATER: That was cold, Fire, even for you.

EARTH: He’s lashing out. Probably just needs to burn off some energy.

AIR: *hushed tone* I am easy breezy. Your words they cannot hurt me. I am easy breezy. Your words they cannot hurt me. I am easy breezy. Your words they can-

DR. ELLA MINT: *sigh* Maybe a human nature degree wouldn’t have been so bad after all.
