Second Floor Common Room; Monday Morning.

An excited squeal pre-empted a very excited Turtle Wexler bursting from the door of 210 and making a beeline for the common room, where she excitedly plopped on the couch, snatched up a remote, and went to the news channels as if to confirm what she had read in her WSJ.

Another squeal followed.

Up! It was going back up!

It was like Christmas! She happily bounced as she sat on the couch, buzzing and barely even able to focus on anything more than the little up arrows on the tickers going across the screen. She snorted at all the nay-sayers talking about its instability.

Third Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

The lights were on, but the TV and stereo were off. From the doorway, it might appear as if the room was unnocupied. But further investigation would reveal a small green fuzzy ball on the couch. Or, rather a small green fuzzy frog curled into a fetal ball on the couch.
