Okay, all you wonderful readers of Fanfiction, here's the deal: A little while ago I read the most 'awesome possum' story I think I have ever read onthis site written by the fabulous MaximumRideObsessed.

The only problem was that the ending of the original story Bored in a Library disappointed me a teensie weensie bit. So I PM'ed the amazingly nice MaximumRideObsessed and was oh so kindly given permission to edit the story and change the ending to my liking and publish it.

So that is why most of the beginning of this story is in italics. And most of the editing up 'til the ending chapters will be too.

Check out the original story from my profile!

Here we go!

Chapter 1

I sat down at the library computer, extremely bored. Our awesome Itex laptop broke, (Actually, it was blow up courtesy of Gazzy and Iggy. On accident, of course. They would never destroy Fang's prized possession. Still, though, the look on his face when he found out was scary…) and so now Fang has forced us to come to the library so he could check his blog. I mean, how could he keep his hormonal fangirls waiting?

Angel and Nudge were looking up pictures of Max Theriot on the internet (well, Nudge was, and Angel was whining for her to choose a different guy). Gazzy and Iggy were chasing each other through the bookshelves in some demented game of hide and seek-tag, sounding like a herd of elephants in the otherwise quiet library, receiving glares from other innocent and mostly elderly library goers.

I was just sitting there, being bored. Normally I have interesting or even annoying leader-like things to do.

This was definitely not a good thing.

I logged into the computer. The library was pretty run-down, so the old dinosaur computers didn't require a library card. Actually, it seemed like all the library staff did was buy ten computers, install them, and block the horny websites. Not that I tried or anything. I swear.

Along the bottom of the screen were a bunch of little icons. I saw a little smiley face, and clicked on it. Maybe it would make me happy.

It turned out to be and instant messaging service. Ah, what the heck, I might as well. It's not like I had anything better to do.

I found a button that said SIGN UP in big bold letters. I hit it. Apparently I had to tell the Instant Messenger everything about myself if I wanted an account.

Fine, whatever, if it was going to be like that.

Screen Name: reallybored (I can hardly contain my superior creativity)

Password: Like I'm going to tell you!

Name: Maxine (See how clever I am?) Efron (Nudge's new obsession as of about 10 seconds ago)

Age: 21 (just for all those stalker guys…let's pretend I couldn't kick their, uh, butts…)

Then it asked for my address and I obviously entered Anne's. I mean, it's not like I could write, 'a nice hollow cave, in some random city in I forget what state and don'teven ask me for the zip code.' I entered the rest of the info as well as my email (wowthissux at gmail dot com) (A/N: okay, sorry, but I just had to change the original server that the email address was on. I mean, seriously people! Gmail beats Yahoo any day!)

The next thing on the screen was a bunch of letters and numbers jumbled up in a small box. I typed in the code (FGGE4T5), but here's something that struck me as pretty hilarious. The whole thing was labeled "Human Verification." I mean, if you were me you would start laughing too, right?

Um, note to self: never crack up loudly in the middle of a library. It'll earn you odd stares.

"Something amusing?" Fang asked over the top of the computer across from me. I was very glad that he couldn't see or hear me typing, due to the bulky monitors between us. He'd most likely make fun of me if he thought I was chatting with strangers.

"Well, see, I had this mental image of you and one of your horny fangirls…"

He made a face and went back to his blogging. Phew.

So, anyways, I pressed enter, verified it, yada yada yada. Then I logged in…The first thing I realized was that I knew nobody with and IM and my friends list was completely empty. Well, this sucked.

So yeah! Tell me how you like it!
