by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 7:33 pm

Will came home, hoping he'd be in time to catch the US-Argentina game on telly, after his meeting with the minds of marketing.

Sara was sitting on the couch, nursing Robin while watching the already started game.

"Hey there hun. How did it go?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 7:42 pm

"Well, it, uh, it went," Will said, with a nervous chuckle as he came over to sit next to Sara and Robbie.

"How stupid an ad did you agree to do?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:00 pm

"Now, what...uh, what makes you jump to that conclusion?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:01 pm

"Probably the fact that I know you longer than 5 minutes." she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:05 pm

"I'll tell you what I DIDN'T do. They really tried to plug one with me as a half-naked giraffe woman on top of exploding bottles of orange drink. Didn't do that one!"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:08 pm

"Seriously? Who pays these people?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:09 pm

"I dunno, but they pay em a HELL of a lot. I mean, it was a huge deal..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:17 pm

"How huge are we talking here?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:18 pm

"I mean, uh, like I seriously considered taking it, despite everything."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:18 pm

"Wow, that much huh?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:21 pm

"I mean, yeah. And it was a whole campaign, and stuff like that--all designed for maximum controversy."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:28 pm

"Probably for the best you didn't take that offer."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:30 pm

"That's what I thought. Anyway, they had another, so it's all good.

Uh, so, yeah, good game, huh?" he said, quickly trying to change the subject.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:31 pm

"Will... what other ad did you take?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:44 pm

"It's a...snack food ad, I suppose..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:49 pm

"You're not going to be riding a hamburger as a half-naked animal girl, are you?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:58 pm

"Of course not! No, that would just be silly.

Besides, you do rubbish hamburgers over here..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:00 pm

"I'm just gonna ignore that and point out that you still haven't told me what you're actually going to be doing."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:31 pm

"It's....

Well, you see they say it's hard to get animals to act on cue..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:46 pm

"Well talking animal is better than freaky half-human ones. Much better."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:49 pm

"That's what I thought!

And it also pays half as much, but hey."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:03 pm

"If you ask me, cute animal beats that weird cocoa-apple-bits thing too."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:04 pm

"What was wrong with that!"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:07 pm

"Nothing, it was just ridiculous." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:17 pm

"Well, in this one, I eat the treat, say it's fantastic or whatever the hell the slogan is...and then kick a soccer ball into a net."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:23 pm

"Okay maybe that's a little ridiculous too." she snickers.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:31 pm

"It's really...well, I don't wanna be typecast as talkin' dog, but we need the moneys for Robin, don't we," he smiled, sheepishly.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:33 pm

"It's just an ad. I'm sure lots of people started out that way." she smiles reassuringly.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:38 pm

"People have started off worse, too. I'm sure it will be...well, I think I'll go with 'fine'," he chuckled. "Just a little degrading. I'll last."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:40 pm

"Oh come on." she smiles. "You've been a puppy before. I mean, that was just for me, but it's not that degrading..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:50 pm

"Well, it's a LITTLE degrading...I mean, here it's just you and me and stuff. I'll do anything for YOU, but that doesn't mean I'm keen on doing everything everywhere," he smiled.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 9:33 am

"True, even if I believe that happened out in the quad." she smiles. "Still, I don't think it's that bad."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:25 pm

"'Twas still with you, which makes it better," he smiled. "I'd do anything for you."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:44 pm

"Want us to come visit you on the set then?" she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:55 pm

"I want it to be over as quickly as possible, I think," he chuckled. "I gotta eat the dog biscuit and everything..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 4:13 pm

"Eww." she pulls a face.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 4:14 pm

"I know, right?

The sacrifices I make here."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 4:17 pm

"Couldn't they just give you a cookie or something that just looks like a dog biscuit?"
