RE: Connect

The only part

*AlienSquint has logged on!*

*PillowSheep has logged on!*

AlienSquint: Sheepy! :D I didn't know you'd be on today ^_^

PillowSheep: Yeah, I didn't either, I'm super tired =n=

AlienSquint: Aw, working late again? :/ *pats*

PillowSheep: Considering it's 5:30, I'd say so *flops on the floor*

AlienSquint: Oh, that's right, you're a part-timer. Almost forgot XD ^^;

PillowSheep: I wish I wasn't, it sucks. I get paid next to nothing for working nearly all day. Oh well, how was your day? ^^

AlienSquint: Long! D: School was super boring, as usual. At least it's a three day weekend! ^u^

PillowSheep: Lucky! I have to work again tomorrow. TnT I'll try to get online, but I might be too tired to stay awake when I get home.

AlienSquint: Wish I culd bring you a coffee or something... ;n;
AlienSquint: *could, sorry ^^;

PillowSheep: I would love coffee, too bad you're... however far away you are XD

AlienSquint: Well, we're in the same time zone at least XD But I'm still probably too far to walk...

PillowSheep: I would imagine so, I don't think I've seen you around before .3.

AlienSquint: You don't even know what I look like, dummy XD

PillowSheep: It'd be hard to miss a guy wearing a pink shirt with kittens on it >.>

AlienSquint: Well, what do you do, walk around with a pillow on your shirt? <.< XD

PillowSheep: AlienSquint is typing...

*AlienSquint has logged off!*

PillowSheep: Hello? Are you there? Squint? .3.

The boy stared at his computer, confused. Where had his friend gone? "Where'd you go, Squint?" he muttered, rubbing a hand tiredly over his face.

"Damn Internet! Sheepy is gonna think I left!" The boy in the pink shirt slammed his hands on the desk, making his keyboard bounce.

He shrugged. "Better get to bed then..." he mumbled to himself, yawning. He pushed back from the desk and stretched as he stood up. Shuffling over to the bed, he flopped face down as thoughts of his internet friend plagued his mind as he fell into sleep.

"Come on! Hurry up!" The Internet icon flashed green on his monitor, indicating he had a connection again. "Yes! Gotta tell Sheepy what ha-" As he logged on, he realized his friend had logged off 15 minutes ago. "Aww... I was gonna say something important too..."

~The Next Day~

The boy was harshly awakened by the blaring of the local rock radio station. He flailed and fell out of the bed in his attempt to shut it off. "I hate that stupid station..." he muttered grumpily, standing up. He yawned and started searching for his work uniform.

Rap music flowed from the speakers of his computer, causing the boy to fall off of his chair. He screamed and kicked his desk on the way down. "Terrible..." He slammed his hand on his mouse, turning the music off.

He pulled on his uniform and shoes, making himself a cup of coffee. As he waited for it to brew, he found himself thinking about yesterday. Why did he disconnect? It's not like Squint to get offended to the point of leaving...

"I hope Sheepy isn't mad..." Squint got up and logged into AniMate to make sure Sheepy wasn't online. He wasn't...

Sheepy grabbed his coffee and headed to the computer. He logged on to AniMate (he really hated that name...) to see if Squint was there. Lo and behold, he was!
