Emilie paced back and forth in her small room.

"What to do, what to do?" she muttered as she paced, "if I show them the diary they'll know I was with the pranksters, but I wasn't wanting to prank them. And without showing them they'll never believe me! URG!"

On the bed beside her, Emilie's laptop beeped. She rolled over to look at the screen. It was an email.

Hey Emilie, this is Lydia Heffenbacher. Sammy Spamboni set up this forum that you should see. Here's the link. Lydia Heffenbacher.

Emilie blinked. Lydia Heffenbacher was Lisa's little sister, who was in 8th grade. Sammy Spamboni was Manny's little brother, who was also her age. Emilie was intrigued, so she clicked on the link. It took her to a web site called Electric Pranks. The site was devoted to the Electric Company and the Pranksters, it reviewed there pranks, powers, Francine's vlogs and even Jessica's occasional 'reality check'. it had forums too, Emilie was impressed. But the forum that interested Emilie was called 'I'm so sick of this'. it read:

Techie (mod): im so sick of the Electric Company and the pranksters fighting. Here's Francine's latest vlog in review: the Pranksters trick the Electric Company into coming to the street fair, where the pranksters dump water on them. Jessica causes a faux pas by yelling at Emilie Scrambler (cousin to Annie Scrambler), who, I'm pretty sure accidentally, leaded them into the trap.

DecamblerLady13: This has got to end. I'm sick of this too.

Incoder54: im so mad at Francine. Emilie's innocent, she said so.

Decoder3113: Francine said?

Techie (mod): you're positive Ed?

Incoder54: well, not to my face. I was snooping.

DecemberLady13: whatev Eddie, we've all done things sneaky.

Emilie was shocked. Incoder54, they kept calling him Ed or Eddie. He was probably Edward Carruther, Francine's little Brother. He was her age too. Emilie made an account and started posting.

PurpleTypist21: This is Emilie. I didn't know any thing about the trap. But I have proof of that.

DecemberLady13, that must be Lydia, replied immediately.

DecemberLady13: welcome Emilie. Whats the proof?

PurpleTypist21: I can't say. I'm not supposed to have it.

DecemberLady13: ah, okay. I think I know what it is.

PurpleTypist21: um, there's some thing else.

DecemberLady13: what?

PurpleTypist21: I can't say on here.

DecemberLady13: Email me.

SUBJECT: What I can't say

I was helping the Pranksters. I was supposed to get into the electric company to get a special skill. But I learned from annie's diary that Francine was probably going to steal it. I can't show them the not-trying-to-prank-them part without showing them the working-with-the-pranksters part.

Decoder3113: a forward would be nice Lyd.

Incoder54: same.

Techie (mod): Same.

Incoder54: thanks

Decoder3113: thanks

Techie (mod): thanks

PurpleTypist21: so what am I going to do?

DecemberLady13: Francine was using you to use them… uuuhhh. To much using, my head hurts. The Electric Company is meeting at the Ruiz's right now.

Incoder54: I think the only option is stoping both of them.

Techie (mod): we should stop them before it gets out of control.

PurpleTypist21: what about forming another group?

DecemberLady13: There's something Emilie needs to know. Can I tell her?

Decoder3113: I'm fine with it. I don't know about Hiccups.

PurpleTypist21: what is it? Who's hiccups?

Incoder54: im fine with it too. Cam's got a point about Hiccups though.

Techie (mod): I've got a plan, Emilie? You in?

PurpleTypist21: I'm in.

Emilie read the plan. That would work. But, who were Incoder54 and Decoder3113? And who was Hiccups?

TBC... He he he
