The Kings hadn't long moved to the village and were still finding their feet.

They had meet some of the locals and so far so good.

Chastity Dingle just sent Carl King a friends request via Facebook.

"Hey, Jimmy. Have you heard of a thing called Facebook?" Carl asked his brother from across the office.

"Face what?" Jimmy asked, not having a clue what his brother was talking about.

"Never mind." Carl replied, rolling his eyes.

"It's a social networking site were you can interact with your family, friends, post pictures and videos." Max replied, coming through the door.

"You youngsters today, I can't keep up." Tom King muttered to himself.

"It's a great opportunity to promote the business dad, people all over the world will see it." Max informed his dad.

That caught Tom's interest.

"Do you know how to set this face thingy what do you me call it again, Carl?" Tom asked his son.

"Facebook, dad." Carl replied sarcastically, trying not to laugh.

"Max, do it." Tom told his youngest son.

Max had a page set up in ten minutes and showed it to his dad.

"Will you run the page, I wouldn't know where to start." Tom asked Max.

"Sure dad, no problem." Max replied, linking it to his phone.

Soon enough, they all had a page.

Carl King accepted Chastity Dingle's Friend request and the two of them got chatting.
Chastity Dingle sent Carl King a message via message at 12.19 on Thursday 4th May 2004.

"So, you're the new boy in town, then?" Chas wrote, not really sure what to say.

Carl King replied to Chasity Dingle's message via message at 12.23 on Thursday 4th May 2004

"Yeah, that's me, fancy a drink at the pub later?" Carl typed back his reply.

Chasity Dingle replies to Carl King's message via messenger at 12.24 on Thursday 4th May 2004

"Very forward and confident, aren't you?" Chas replied.

Carl King replied to Chasity Dingle's message via messenger at 12.27 on Thursday 4th May 2004

"As my dear old mam used to say, if you never ask, you never get." Carl typed back, hopeful.

Chasity Dingle replies to Carl King's message via messenger at 12.35 on Thursday 4th May 2004

"Go on, then." Chas replied.

Later that evening, the pair went down to the Wolly and generally enjoyed each other's company.

"So, will there be a second date?" Carl asked as he walked Chas home.

"We'll see." Chas smiled, opening her front door.

Making sure she got in alright, Carl smiled to himself as he made his way home. Life in this village certainly isn't going to be boring, he thought to himself.

"What's this Facebook thing I've been hearing about all morning?" and Matthew King asked, coming into the office the next day.

"It's Facebook, everyone seems to have one, even me. You should set one up." Jimmy told his brother, almost sounding proud of himself.

So, that's what Matthew did.

"Nearly everyone we know is on here." Matthew said, turning his attention back to Jimmy.

"I know, Carl even got a date with that Chas Dingle, didn't you Carl?" Jimmy smirked at his younger brother.

"Leave off, will you? Chas is alright." Carl defended her.

"Have you told her you're still technically still married, Carlos?" Matthew smirked.

Carl just looked at the floor.

"Didn't think so." Matthew laughed at his brother.

"Told your latest bit of rough about Holly, no?" Carl spat before he could stop the words coming out of his mouth.

Matthew lunged at his brother before he even realized what he was doing.

"Don't you dare ever mention her name again." Matthew hissed in his brothers face.

Carl, ashamed at what he had done, couldn't look his brother in the eye.

Matthew stormed out of the office in a raged.

"That wes low, Carl. Even for you." Jimmy told him.

"It just came out." Carl tried to defend himself.

After that, Carl and Matthew barely spoke for the rest of the day.

"What's going on between them two?" Tom asked Jimmy, knowing that he wouldn't lie to him.

"We were taking the mick out of Carl for his date with Chas and Carl brought Holly up." Jimmy explained.

"He did what? I'm going to have words with that boy." Tom replied.

Matthew sat in the office, staring blankly at his computer, not really getting any work done, when a message came through on messenger from Carl.

Matthew King received a message from Carl King at 17.48 on Thursday 4th May 2004

"I'm sorry for earlier, mate. I had no right to say what I did. Friends again?"

Matthew knew he could take a lot of things on the chin, but not this, this was going to far.

Matthew King replied to Carl King's message via messenger at 15.52 on Thursday 4th May 2004

"Just give me some time, I'll see you at the office tomorrow." Matthew replied.
