The Computer Lab, after pancakes but before gun club

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had woken up this morning with the Best Idea Ever. She was going to go on the computer and find the funnest game there was and get alllllll of her friends to play it with her. So, after getting some pancakes from Pippi, she wandered over the computer lab and sat down to start looking.

First she checked her email. Which gave her another Best Idea Ever. She should email her dad! She didn't know his email address, but she bet she could guess!

Dear Dad,

How are you? I am fine. School is good. I have a sister. Her name is Sydney Bristow. She is very nice.

Love, Nadia.

PS-You suck hard.

Then she started looking for the Best Game Ever.

Then she got an email back!

Dearest Nadia,

I had thought that you migh, some day, decide to contact me. I'm very glad to see that it has happened much sooner than I expected. Of course, you are still mad at me; I have done very little that deserves your forgiveness. I had hoped that we might someday become as close as we are here in the future.

I'm glad that everything is going well for you. I am very glad that you and Sydney have found each other so early. Family is the most important thing there is.

Love, Dad

Dear Dad,

I hate you. Sydney is very nice. Sometimes she invites me to go running. It is fun.

Love, Nadia

Dearest Nadia,

I hope some day you will learn to forgive me. I also hope that next semester, you will enroll in a writing class.

Love, Dad

Nadia frowned at the screen. She didn't need a writing class. She was a good writer.

Ooo! A link! She clicked it!

Best. Idea. Ever!

Phoebe had quickly gotten bored in the South Attic and had run down the stairs... well, more like she decided to see how many stairs she could jump over before falling. Then she got up again and did a running leap over more stairs. It was the most fun a nine year old could have before breakfast.

She hit the Fifth floor and then started doing cartwheels down the hallway. She landed outside the coputer room and peeked her head in to see if anyone was there.

"Hi!" she called out in excitement.

Nadia looked up from where she'd been enraptured by the website. "Hi! Looklooklooklooklooklooklook!"

Nadia pointed at the computer screen. "I wanna do that!"

On the screen, a bunch of teenaged and twenty something boys were doing flips off of the railing of a second story balcony and landing perfectly to take off running again.

Best. Game. Ever.

Phoebe bounced over to the computer and looked. Nadia was right. That looked like so much fun.

"Oh wow! Yes, let's do that!" She tilted her head. "Where should we start?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia frowned. Goooood question. "I bet we could start right now and jump down the stairs and then run outside and jump over walls and climb onto roofs and jump off roofs and climb onto other roofs. . . ." Nadia suddenly popped up out of her chair and ran for the stairs. ". . . An' I'll race you!"
