"So you left a clone of yourself in Neopia, virtually changed the rarity of paintbrushes, and you can hack into Neopets because you were 'one with the computer.' That sounds like a lousy time." Ree's cousin Marco said after she told him everything that happened.
"A lousy time! You better take that back!" she shouted at him.
"Geez cuz, don't get cranky. I'm just saying that all that adventure for nothing? What happened though? Everyone burst out singing (I've Had) The Time of My Life."
"No, but that is a wonderful idea for next time." Ree said. Marco rolled his eyes.
"And what about your new husband? What's his name, Jason."
"Jeran." Ree corrected.
"Whatever. How are you going to marry him if you are not technically there?"
"That's what my chibi clone is for. Besides, it's not like I really could get married to him to begin with."
"Now you are denying that you loved him to begin with."
"Now you are making the subject harder then what it has to be."
"You are only pushing it further over the edge cuz." Marco said with a satisfied smile. Ree reached over and gave her cousin a good pinch. He acted like her minor shot of pain didn't hurt him, but it did.
"For your information Ree and Jeran are going to be married this week. And it is going to be all over the Neopian Times." Ree said, with a slight bragging tone lingering around in her voice.
"This is getting interesting, you are addressing yourself as third person now."
Ree let her head bang on the computer keyboard. She head hit a random combination to start up Firefox and then lead her to Neopets. The thing that happened next no one was sure of, but whatever happened Ree and Marco ended up looking at the world of Neopia from a view Ree was quite familiar with. She actually had to get up and walk away from the computer to shut the bedroom door to make sure she was still in her real world home. Marco, just stared at the computer. He was at a loss for words. He was at a loss for words, until he saw something flash red on the screen.
"Hey Ree, you might want to come see this." he said.
Ree quickly came over and typed like mad on the computer. When she found the cause of the problem her face went pale.
"Oh damn. This is not good. Not good at ALL."
"What's wrong?" Marco asked.
"There's a worm in Neopets. And it's not a nice one."
"What'll it do?"
"Destroy any outer communications so the creator of the worm can see who the users are and what their names are, where they live, et cetera."
And then Ree came upon something even more disturbing. "It's after Ree."
"As much as I would love to see something that looked like you being taken care of and tossed away, this is not how it should be like."
"It would be like a homicide." Ree said, staring into space. "I have to stop it before it does anything thing."
"Ree stop!" Marco said, "It could..."
Before he could finish sparks came out from the computer and it shut off.
"Crash the computer." Marco finished.
"Now you tell me."
