Nope, don't own CyberChase, nor do I intend to in this lifetime. Flames are welcomed.
"Ugh, stay down!" squeaked a young woman as she ran her brush through the mountain of frizzy black hair. The more she tugged, the tougher the knots seemed to be. She was finally finished an hour later with her hair pulled back in her trademark high ponytail.
Flopping down on her bed, Jackie let out a sigh. Today Matt, Inez and she were going to visit Cyberspace for the first time in years. True, they still kept in touch with Motherboard after they manage to retrieve the Encryptor Chip and Hacker disappeared from their lives. But when Matt and Jackie started high school they couldn't afford to spend the energy in Cyberspace and Motherboard insisted that they keep to their studies.
Jackie turned to stare at the picture next to her bed. It was taking on the last day they were together. Matt was in the middle with his arms around her and Inez, Doctor Marbles standing next to Inez, Digit next to her and Mother-B in the background. They looked so happy.
*If only I was still…*
Shaking her head, Jackie jumped up and studied herself in the large mirror in her room. She admitted to herself that she change over the years. Long gone were the days where she was a fashion conscious young girl. *Well, I still am into looking good,* she thought to herself, *just not the whole yellow shirt, jean skirt bit.* Now she was more into wearing black, baggy jeans, dark shirts or tanks, spike collars and cuffs and pleather jackets. She stopped buying brand clothes from department stores years ago, now she preferred going thrift shopping and making her own clothes.
Twirling around she critiqued the outfit she chosen for the reunion. A black tank top, black baggy jeans, black and white high top sneakers, and a black pleather jacket. She also noted that she grew taller over the years and filled out in the right places. *But, hey, I'm eighteen. Of course I'm grown.*
Yes, she had changed but one thing remanded the same.
"Cyberspace, here I come!"
She still hated bugs.
