"Totally random AndrAIa!" Enzo shouted in awe as he gave her a high five. It was the 10th high-five this second, so AndrAIa knew how to respond.

"You're really a fast learner. I bet we could beat everyone if we teamed up!" Enzo said as they exited the jet ball arena.

"Thanks Enzo. You're really good too." AndrAIa said with a blush, eyes down cast for a moment.

"Come on, I'll show you more of Mainframe." Enzo said as he hopped onto his zip board and looked back at AndrAIa. She pulled out the zip board that Dot gave her and jumped on. Together they flew towards Level 31. They were going Sector by Sector, seeing all the sites of each before moving on. They saw Floating Point and the Energy Slide there, Kits and the Racing and Jet Ball there and were heading for the shadier parts of Mainframe.

"This is Al's Wait and Eat. They're business partners with Dot." Enzo explained as they walked inside. "I'd say we could grab a byte to eat, but we'd be waiting seconds before getting close to eating." Enzo whispered to AndrAIa as they walked past the counter, waving to Al's waiter. Al's waiter waved back halfheartedly as he rested his head on his hand which was leaning on the counter. Enzo and AndrAIa went and looked at all the floors of Al's, seeing all the binomes and numerals waiting for their food. They left soon after entering, trying not to laugh as binomes got impatient with the service.

As they flew through the Sector, they made jokes about Al's and Enzo told some stories of what happened in the area.

"This is old man Pearson's Data Dump. You can find the most random things there! And watch out for his Gibson Coil..." Enzo explained about Code Masters and what happened last time as they flew around the dump, looking at the various things.

AndrAIa smiled and nodded, amazed at how much Enzo knew about and how much went on in Mainframe. But then again, she was happy because Enzo was and that she didn't have to go easy on him when they played games. They moved onto other Sectors and while AndrAIa did like the decks and energy sea, soon it was time to head home.

They flew up to the apartments just as it was starting to get dark. It was pretty tall, being 9 stories high. Each floor had five apartments to it and they were pretty big. Dot owned it and a few others, and she made sure they were in good repair.

Enzo and AndrAIa took the elevator to the top floor, which had been converted into one large apartment. Dot hadn't gotten back yet, so Enzo showed AndrAIa around.

There was the living room that came from the elevator. It had two couches, a java table, and readme shelves along one wall with a tall lamp in the corner. There was an arch that lead to the kitchen that was well stocked and had a table with a couple of chairs. Further along was one door that lead to the bathroom, which had a shower unit. Along the opposing wall were three doors, one for Dot, one for Enzo and one was the guest room.

Just as Enzo was about to show more of the bedrooms, Dot came home.

"Hey Dot!" Enzo said with a big smile, running up to Dot as she came though the door. AndrAIa came a little slower behind him, with her hands behind her back.

"Hey you two! Glad to see you made it back alright. Did you show her around the apartments yet?" Dot said as she put down her organizer onto the java table.

"I showed her the kitchen and the living room. I was just about to show her the rooms." Enzo said as he followed Dot as she headed into the kitchen, about to make dinner.

"Good. You can use the spare room AndrAIa. But first, let's have some dinner." Dot said as she pulled out food from the fridge and made them all dinner. In a few nanos they were all sitting at the table eating.

Once they finished, Dot went and showed AndrAI the bedrooms.

"I sleep here. So if you need anything, don't be afraid to ask." Dot said as she waved her hand to her room. It had a bed in the corner, with a desk with light on it next to it. On the walls where pictures, one was of two sprites that looked a little like Dot and Enzo smiling into the camera, but who were not the same as them. Another picture was of the older sprite with a much younger Dot and really younger Enzo. Then there was a picture of Bob as well. AndrAIa thought that these were interesting.

"Over here is Enzo's room. While I don't mind if you guys play games or such, but I'll need to request that the door is opened if you guys are in the room together." Dot said as she opened the door to Enzo's room. There was a bed in the opposing corner than in Dot's room, with a desk on the opposite wall. The walls were plastered with posters of Guardians, various games, and Jet Ball teams.

Enzo, who was behind Dot while she was showing AndrAIa the rooms, popped forward and opened the last room to show it off. With a wave of his hand pointing the way into the room, Enzo said with a smile, "And here is where you'll stay!"

AndrAIa came forward and walked into the room. She looked around, and while it was really plain, it wasn't that bad of a room. It had a bed like the others and a desk on the side. "While it isn't much now, I'm sure it will feel like home soon." Dot said while she watched AndrAIa look around.

"Yes, thank you." AndrAIa said as she turned around to face both Enzo and Dot.

"You're welcome. Have a nice night and we'll see you in the morning!" Dot said as she put her hands onto Enzo's shoulders to lead him out and to his own room.

"Night AndrAIa! I'll show you a couple of other cool spots tomorrow!" Enzo said as he waved to AndrAIa as Dot lead Enzo to his room and proceeded to tuck him into his bed.

As Dot kissed his forehead she said, "Good night Enzo."

"Good night, Sis." Enzo yawned as he turned in his bed.

Dot smiled as she went into her room, amazed at the turn of events of the day.

She didn't know it, but soon this would be habit and quite normal. Just another day in Mainframe.
