I was driving Dinah to visit Sara and give her our presents for her birthday since we both had the day off we decided to carpool, for the most part the ride was quiet, just the radio for background noise, but as we neared Star City Dinah started talking, "She asks about you anytime we talk on the phone and you're not around." I knew she was talking about Sara but I still played it off like I didn't, "Who does?" I asked as I turned a corner she swatted me on the shoulder, "You know who I'm talking about you little turd." But I joked back in response "Hey, this little turd is taller than you and Quintin now." She just laughed at me.

We finally made it, I pulled up in front of the house, I insisted that I carry the two boxes we brought, but Dinah put her foot down about that, so I let her carry them like she wanted, as we were walking toward the porch I heard a girls voice coming from Sara's window, "Oh my god he's gorgeous." I knew it had to be the friend she had mentioned, Felicity, I looked up to her window, waved and smiled at the two girls staring back at me.

Quentin met us at the door, quickly grabbing the boxes from Dinah, "Sara!" He yelled up the stairs, "Presents!" I yelled to Sara after Quentin started to walk toward the living room, I heard a thump, then a second that sounded like a door slamming, then some muffled arguing upstairs so I just decided to head toward the living room where Dinah was giving Quentin a brief summary of everything that happened since the last time we had visited.

I sat down on one end of the couch, Quentin in a chair across from me and Dinah perched herself on the arm of that chair as she talked to Quentin, "So Leonard, how's College been?" He finally said after Dinah got done talking, "It's actually been pretty easy, engineering just comes naturally I guess." I replied, "Invent anything yet?" He joked before Dinah playfully smacked him on the shoulder.

Although I was working on something, it was more of a science experiment than anything though, I was toying around trying to create something that could cause the temperature in a certain area to reach absolute zero, so far it just looked like a very bad representation of a Nerf gun that only shot really cold water, so I sort of invented a really cold squirt gun, if that counts for anything.
