Chapter 4: Discovering Ebay
Twilight was playing through the fire and flames on expert level on guitar hero 1. Very loudly and sining with it off tune.
On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light,
In flames of death's eternal reign, we ride towards the fight.
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough alright.
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight.
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore,
The scattered souls will feel the hell, bodies wasted on the shore.
On the blackest plains in Hell's domain, we watch them as they go,
In fire and pain now once again we know--*
Soren unplugged the t.v.
"What do you think you're doing! You almost broke the windows! This is a rental you know." He screeched loudly.
"I THINK I know what I'm doing." said Twilight sarcastically and plugged back in the t.v.. "Soren, you made me lose my game! Now I have to start all over!"
"No, no more t.v. for the rest of the week. Do anything else besides watch t.v.." yelled Bubo from the front of the R.V.
Everyone went directly to the computer.
Soren sighed and went to the passenger seat and started write in the journal.
"Soren's writing in his-"
"It's not a diary!"
We are now entering California. The kids are banned from the t.v. for the week. Hallelujah.
"What should we do on the computer? It's so boring right now." asked Eglantine.
"I know, let's type in random letters and see what we come up with." said Twilight.
They typed in e-b-a-y.
"Look, it came up with something. eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectables, etc." said Gylfie.
"Click on it, click on it, click on it!" They all screamed.
"Hey, look. You can bid and buy on this web site," Observed Martin." Soren, can we use your credit card?"
"Yea-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."
"I'll take that as a yes!" said Twilight."Digger-!"
"Way ahead of ya! Swimming card, Library card, debit card, Drivers license, credit card! Here we go!"
"What should we bid on first?" asked Otulissa.
"Oh I know, wigs!" said Ruby.
"Good idea."
W-i-g-s. Enter.
"Hey look, a dude's selling a set of them." said Twilight.
"Quick, we only have thirty seconds left!" yelled Martin.
"The bid's $1. Wow, it must be a cruddy set of wigs." commented Gylfie.
$2. Enter.
"Cool! We got the wigs!" said Martin.
"Yeah, but how are we going to get them if we're in a R.V.?" asked Gylfie.
A couple seconds later, a eBay van pulled up to the side of the R.V.
"We are looking for Mr. Soren. Is he here?" said the eBay guy.
"Um, I'm Soren." said Twilight
"O.K., I'll need your cell number, birthdate, and credit card number,"
"Um, 503-923-0795, May, 17, 1989, and um, I'll be right back." said Twilight.
"I don't know Soren's credit card number!" Twilight said to Gylfie.
"It's on his credit card. Now go get us those wigs." yelled Gylfie and handed Twilight the credit card.
"Okay...ummm...555333555333." recited Twilight.
"Here are the wigs."
After they ripped open the package, they started to try on all the different wigs.
"I'm goldie locks." said Digger
"I'm Elvis." said Martin
"Hey, I found William Shatner's old toupee."said Ruby
"Hmmm, that reminds me of a song," thought Twilight.
Twilight picked up the guitar hero guitar and pretended to play it.

"Oh no, thank you, you're to kind." bowed Twilight.
At that moment, Bubo leaned over to Soren and whispered to him,"Hey, you better see what they're doing back there."
"What am I, your wife? Holy crap!
Soren looked back to find that wigs and packaging peanuts were all over the place, Eglentain was under a big box with a heavy book on it, and every one else was circled around the computer shouting "Bid! bid! bid!"
"Where did you get these wigs!?" yelled Soren.
"On Ebay."
"You're all grounded for another week!!!"
"Darn it."
