It is the year 2120.

The future has never been brighter...or so one has led to believe.

The earth is ruled by the Mother Board, a sentient computer with the powers to take life away or give it. And oh, the Mother Board has dealt the hand of death many times to all gangs, all resistance members who choose to oppose.

A lone leek girl—name of Anne—is seated, wearing tattered clothing and slightly broken glasses. She awaits her fate before the omnipresent computation device.

What is this? A loud beep, emanating throughout the area? A red light flashing alongside the klaxons?

No.

No.

This can mean one thing only...

The girl closes her eyes as the wires wrap round' her body, and feels the sweet release...of death.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT, DUDE?!" Laura exclaimed, then piped down a little, for Lou was still asleep in another room.

"I wanted to tell something scary!" Annie replied.

"But that was just depressing!" Larry replied as well.

"Alrighty guys, settle down." Bob replied. "Let's do the next story, and Annie? I'm gonna have a nice little chat with you if you don't mind, about your home life."

"Okay then!" Laura exclaimed, grabbing the flashlight. "Now that that's over, I'm gonna tell my story...and I call it...Klaatu Bunny Nikto, or the earth translation, Galactic Bunny Hop!"

Laura shone the flashlight on her face, for added effect.

"..eeehehehee!"

"—Oh, can someone hold Lou?" Laura replied, not realizing the cooing baby carrot was still strapped to the sling on her back. "It's his nap time."
