Deric: right.

Cassidy: Sir Freeze is doing what he does best,

All three: Freezes.

Ashley: did you try to reboot it?

Cassidy: yeah it won't

Ashley: well I think the drinks will have to wait. lets see the patient

Ashley: *sits down at computer* okay open wide and say Ahh

Deric: ahhhhhh

Ashley: *looks at Deric* not funny dude,

Deric: you thought it was funny before

Ashley: yeah the first couple of times.

Deric: oh well.

Cassidy: nothing!

Deric: not this time anyway

Cassidy glares at her brother*

Ashley: *chuckles* okay now I need my operating tools.*goes into back pack and takes out tools* I hate having to do this, *unplugs computer* Deric, care to act as nurse in the exploratory surgery?

Deric: it would be an honor

Cassidy: how come I can't be the nurse?

Deric: because, you don't know anything about the insides of a computer

Cassidy: and you do?

Deric: yeah, Ash and I were in the same class in high school remember?

Cassidy: oh yeah

Ashley: *takes base over to the coffee table* okay, Deric sedate the patient

Deric: Patient is sedated

Cassidy: oh god, you guys sound like the doctors on ER.

Deric: no then we would sound like this.

Ashley: *very melodramatically* Deric I must have you

Deric: *just as melodramatic* I know Ashley but I can't

Ashley: why not

Deric: because my drug abuse and back problems are just too much to handle

Ashley: but I need you.

Deric:*makes long beeping sound* Oh no were losing him!

Ashley: he's not breathing! quick hand me that tube thingy

Cassidy: *feeling left out decides to join in on the fun* Doctor, he's gone into cardiac arrest

Deric: No! give him 3 cc's of that clear stuff

Ashley: were out of clear stuff!

Deric: Damn it! go look for some, until then I shall do CPR and fail miserably

Ashley: And I shall help by squeezing this blue bag thingy Cassidy: Doctor he's gone

Deric: No damn it, not yet

Ashley: wait he has a DNR

Deric: well since I don't know what a DNR is I shall continue.

Cassidy: the sister is here and she say's to let him die

Deric: damn it! call it *gets up and turns away*

Ashley: *gets up and walks over to Deric* Its alright my love,

Deric:*turns to her* I know, but I cant stop thinking about that intern who died

Ashley: That was last year and no one even remembers her name. now lets got to the x-ray room and make out

Deric: all right

Cassidy:*bursts out laughing* Oh god that was funny

Deric and Ashley take a bow*

Ashley: okay now back to the real patient

*Deric and Ashley work on the computer trying to figure out what it is, unfortunately could not find anything decide to hook it back up and try to turn it on*

Ashley: well every thing is hooked up correctly *turns it on* and it looks to be running fine now. I'm going to do a virus scan

Cassidy: sighs* well this is boring?

Deric: why not go and get the drinks, I'll help

Ashley: found the problem.

Deric: what is it?

Ashley: a Trojan Virus

Cassidy: oh great

Ashley: I'm gonna counter act the Trojan with a Benign

Deric: a Benign? no hacker has ever been able to create one.

Ashley: till now. I call it Cycle. *starts looking through the Binders full mini CD's,* it works the same way as a virus scanner, but instead of Deleting the virus it infects it, turning it Benign who will turn and infect the infected files counteracting the initial infection.

Cassidy: I didn't understand a word you said after I call it Cycle.*pauses* you named a virus *pauses again* you putting a virus into the computer

Deric: Cassidy it's a Benign virus, think of it like the ultimate virus scanner

Cassidy: I'll go get those drinks now.

Ashley: you go do that *types final code into the computer* There, It'll take awhile for it to find the Trojan but it should work in a few days, until then I suggest neither of you go online.

Deric:*nods* okay, sounds good. Thanks by the way.

Ashley: hey no prob. *pause, smiles evilly* so how about that date?

Deric: you have got to be kidding me

Ashley: Why yes I am.

Deric: good, I thought I would have to tie you up or something

Ashley: sounds kinky.

Deric: you are impossible.

Cassidy: Are you guys coming down or what?

Ashley: yeah, were on our way.

*Ashley gets up from her place in front of the Computer, and followed Deric down into the basement, The computer flashes to show a woman with cyan colored skin, and long white hair*

Woman: don't worry Mistress I shall protect this system

*Another flash and she's gone* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
