Nice bits of word play in their, albeit a hair too much dialog in some places. The setting is very good, I like the small rural area idea.
As far as pacing is concerned, you need to throw in a few actions to make it so that the reader can go through the long paragraphs or dialogs. Action helps to move the story and keep the reader...reading. Also, after lines of spoken text, you should add descriptions on intonation, like "excitedly", or "monotonously". These offer insight into the character and how he or she feels about what's happening around him, not to mention a view into their own personality. Also, it helps the reader find out who's talking, so incase they skip a line, they can get back on track.
Thats all I've gatta so about now.
