I headed downstairs after checking out the mini DITS for other flaws. It turned out it was fine, so I left the room, leaving Zack asleep. Everyone was huddled in the Kitchen, except for Dad and Uncle Alan, who were outside on a tour of the farm.
"So where are you guys going tonight?" Jessica asked as I sat down at the table with them.
"We were thinking of going out to dinner at that new place that opened up" Aunt Cassie answered. Mom looked at her in awe and put a face on saying "Really?"
"You're leaving me here with Zack tonight?" I asked rather dramatically.
"Oh settle down Jake. Jessica will take care of him tonight." Mom said. " If you want, Dad will pick up a movie while he picks up the pizza we ordered for you two." Perking up, I told Jessica the names of some movies I hadn't seen yet and she went out with dad into town.
"Is it ok if I look around the barn" I asked Aunt Casse.
"No problem at all, as long as you don't disturb the animals" she answered in approval. I headed upstairs and grabbed the mini DITS. I wanted to test it before I used it. For all I knew, it might make my brain explode or something. Of course, I was over-reacting just a bit.
