?Hello??
?Hello.
?Oh hey, its you!?
?Oh hey its me! How are you Joe??
?I?m good.? Says Joe. ?Tired and worn out, but happy. How are you Mia??
?Good. Why tired and worn out but happy? Says Mia.
?Mainly because I?m feeling good.? Joe grins. ?Ha, now that sure answer?s your question huh??
?Yah, no kidding?So it?s a girl then??
?Well, I was able to express myself today ah, in a, uh, special way. Seriously, I played really well at Jazz band today. Let?s just say a certain girl let me know how much she enjoyed it. Although I was feeling pretty good before that too, so who knows.?
?Ohhh! That?s great. Who?s the babe??
?The babe??
?The girl.?
?The girl??
?The woman.?
?The woman? Oh, just someone I know.?
?Uhuh, and?? Says Mia.
?Why can?t I just know a woman?? Joe scratches the back of his head emphatically.
?Well, it was enough to get you juiced up. If you know what I mean. So there?s got to be more to it!?
?Guess so.? Joe says flatly.
?But if you really don?t want to talk about it, that?s ok.?
?I could talk about it.?
?Then talk about it.?
?OK, I?ll talk about it?
?OK??
?I asked her out once, she turned me down but I think she regrets it. I?m not going to ask her out again though.?
?I see. Playing it coy are you? Maybe she?ll get up the guts??
?Well, she does have good guts.?
?Ha ha, good guts. Very funny. What a crazy girl. To turn down a guy like you! Maybe her guts aren?t that good after all.?
?Speaking of guts, after Jazz Band she was asking me if I was a good cook.?
?You?re a great Top Ramen cook, Joe.?
?I told her I know some good recipes - which more than true - I know some great recipes actually.?
?And then you said I?d be happy to show you sometime???
?Well, not exactly.?
?Not exactly??
?No not exactly. I hinted at it though.? Joe scratches his head.
?Cute.? Mia giggles then scratches her own head.
?If only you knew.?
?She?s that cute huh??
?Yeah. But that?s not what I meant.?
?What did you mean??
?I meant??
?You meant??
?I?m a fool I guess.?
?You guess??
?Yeah, sure.?
?Spill your guts.?
?Mia, its just that I never know what to say when what I want to say matters so much!?
?Ummm?What are you saying??
?It?s just that?Oh nevermind. It?s getting late. I have some homework to do, and I need to practice my Sax, and I need to go to sleep soon, and I?m tired and worn out, and??
?Look at the time. It?s getting late. Listen Joe, we?re going to have to talk again soon. I have to,? Mia yawns. ?I have to read a chapter out of Philosophy, and I?m feeling kind of sick. I need to sleep off this cold.?
?Yeah, I feel a little sick too.?
?Joe, I want to hear more about this girl.?
?OK.?
?What?s her name, you didn?t even tell me her name.?
?Emily.?
?Yeah.?
?Yeah. Listen, its getting late.
?Yeah.?
?I?ve gotta go?
?Me too?
?Goodnight.?
?Goodnight.?
?Sweet dreams.?
?Sweet dreams?
?Bye.?
?Bye.?

Joe represents the unknown future for humanity. He's unsure of himself. Mia is actually Joe's heart, not a real person. His heart is trying to guide him but he's not letting it by putting up resistance. This is the constant struggle man must endure.

They also have lice. That's why they scratch their heads so often. This is actually the main point of the story.

Why are you denying me an acknowledgement of my literary genius? :(

Looks like Joe is talking to himself in the mirror, why his image is a woman known as Mia is beyond me though.

Story of a typical shy funny man who has no guts to talk to the girl he fancies and buries himself in work to avoid it?

I've got no idea otherwise...

It was an attempt at creating a 'real' sounding conversation. Wasn't going for anything too serious...more going for that cheesy sitcom humour effect.

Well, they are imaginary - but I wouldn't call them friends exactly. I could make them talk to me if I wanted :D
