"R," you hinted to him.

"R...eh...Rona!" he said smiling in his teasing way. You couldn't help but chuckle too.

"Ra," you continued.

"Aw...come on! Ra...coon! Ra...you know your name, who are you?" Mr Criel said as everyone laughed at his antics.

"Okay, everyone to your seats and let's get started," Mr Criel said as he began to take attendance...

Later on, lunch had begun and Zeke and Cody were standing outside the classroom talking.

"Just talk to her," Cody instructed.

"I...I don't know what to say..." Zeke said despondent.

"Okay, let's start small. Just say hello to her. That's it," Cody suggested.

"I don't know..." Zeke said still shaking as he saw you getting ready to head out.

"Relax man, it's just a word. Just say the word," Cody said as he stepped aside to let Zeke see you as you came out.

You started come their way.

"Here's she comes, do it!" Cody whispered.

Zeke took a deep breath as you approached.

"H...h....hhhh...eeeeee....llllllll.....o! .....Raven...." he grimaced with excruciating effort.

Cody walked over with his head down.

"There...I said it," Zeke said.

Cody sighed, "Great job Lover Boy! Except she can't hear you. She's already at the other end of the hall."

Zeke just lowered his head and walked off disgusted with himself.

A lone figure was busily working in front of a screen displaying bizzarre messages and images.

"Yes! I'm in! Now it's mine! The spark will finally be mine! I just need to reroute this...okay...now begin transfer!"

A bar began to fill.

"I did it! Horay...oops!"

The figure raised her arms in triumph only to knock over a nearby drink.

"Oh no! My orange smash! Ack! It got on the keys!"

"Warning...connection error...aborting transfer..."

"No no no! Keep going!"

"Warning, connection error..."

The bar filled a second before the program went down.

"No...what happened? Where did it go?"

"So, camping was a drag as always," Lisa said over lunch outside on a nearby bench, "How was your summer?"

You began to recant what little there was to tell of your summer when something in the corner of your eye caught your attention. It was some kind of red light. But as you turned and looked, there were no signs or cars that could have made it.

"What's up?" Lisa said looking over your.

"I thought I saw something..." you said still looking.

Was it just your imagination? What will you do?
