Disclaimer: I don't own ReBoot or it's characters. In fact, I own nothing important except the computer I wrote this on and various pairs of old, smelly shoes. So if you try suing me, I'll sic my little brother on you. This fic is meant only to amuse, so if you don't like it, you can kiss my ASCII.

5:00 - Wake up. Wish it were the weekend.
5:30 - Wake up again. This time by Bob's snoring. Punch Bob in the shoulder and hurt my knuckles.

5:38 - Turn paper over and realized it's one of the tabloids AndrAIa bought.

7:03 - Realize I know where she is. And who she's with.
7:04 - Decide to find Mouse later. Wonder how she finds the time to sleep. Wonder if she even sleeps anymore.
7:05 - Realize I should stop thinking about that.
7:06 - Realize I don't really give a damn because I got Bob and she didn't.
7:08 - Finally get to work.
