Science is important. It envelops our knowledge of our world around us, and even what lies beyond the realm of our atmosphere. However, it can also fulfill...practical desires.

Chapter 72 - How to use the Internet 101

"Say, what are you guys watching, anyway?", I asked as I walked into the living room, with 7 of the 9 bunnies watching T.V. "Oh, we don't really know yet.", Barry replied, looking at me for a breif moment. "I wish we could have watched the sports channel...", Matiro said, rolling his eyes. "Sports aren't my thing though, and I think I speak for both of my children that they don't like them either!", Osmos replied. "I wish we could have stayed on the documentaries", Giko said. You and me both, Ella thought. "But those are so boooring!", Karito told everyone. "Maybe what you guys need isn't T.V.", I told them, walking over to the various consoles in the T.V. stand. "There's more ot this thing than channels?!", Iremiya asked.

"Alright, the first thing, here, is that you move this device here, called a mouse, to move the cursor around.", My jelly boyfriend explained, pointing towards the mouse. Megalo slowly reached up to the mouse, gripping it as he slowly moved it over the desk. "Megalo, you need to look up at the screen.", my jelly boyfriend told him, bringing his attention to the monitor. Megalo looked all over, but he didn't see anything moving, because he wasn't moving the mouse. "Try moving the mouse too...", my jelly boyfriend suggested. Megalo looked back down at the mouse, moving it around. Oh boy..., my jelly boyfriend thought to himself. This is going to take a while...

"Yes, Remi! There's a lot that can happen on this television.", I explained. I looked behind my shoulder, at a room full of rabbits, all staring at me. "Would you want to see a movie?", I asked them. "What's a Movie"", Matiro said. "That sounds kinda gay." Osmos looked over in disgust, replying, "Come on, Matiro! You can't be enthusiastic for anything nowadays..." I quickly said something after him, trying to break the tension. "Well, a movie is like a story with moving pictures.", I explained. "Whoooooooa", Giko, Iremiya, and Karito said in unison. "Let's watch one, dad!", Karito said in excitement, turning towards Matiro. "...Alright. It can't be as bad as I initially thought", he said.

"Who has the T.V. remote?", I asked. "Here you go!", Osmos said, tossing the remote to me. I managed to catch it, turning towards the T.V., looking down at the remote. "Whoa, nice catch, Mark!", Barry said in excitement. "Wha... But...", Matiro said, lifting his arms out inconfusion, pointing back and forth between the trash can, and Osmos. Just let it go..., Ella thought to Matiro, trying to stop a scene. Matiro sat back in the couch, rolling his eyes. "Whatever...", he mumbled.

Meanwhile, my jelly boyfriend was making a lot of advancements on teaching Megalo how to use the computer. "See? Try pressing down with your fingertips!", he said. Megalo pressed down with his fingers, watching all the text on the screen turn blue as he had selected it all. "Wha...?", he asked, lifting his fingers back up. "Oh, try clicking on the search bar.", my jelly boyfriend told him, pointing at the search bar. Megalo moved the cursor over to the search bar, clicking on it. A blinking line appears at the end of the long URL. "Wha... What's that, Boss?", he asked. "That's just the line that shows you where you're typing.", my jelly boyfriend said. "Ty...ping?", Megalo asked, tipping his head to one side in curiosity. My jelly boyfriend looked down at the small keys, then at Megalo's large fingers. Uh oh..., he thought.

Adyna was still laying in bed, but she was definitely feeling more and more rejuevinated as each second passed by. She began to smile as she turned back and forth on her sides. She dreamt of being able to do regular things with her children, such as going to an amusement park, visiting a carrot farm, or going to the park, without anyone bothering them. Just the sight of Barry and Ella's happy faces hitting the sun made her feel better. She felt like she was going to wake up any second out of sheer joy, premature from her recovery, but she wasn't entirely sure. She decided to let her mind decide for her, enjoying her kids' company.

I selected the DVD player from the T.V.'s menu. "Wha- There's no story on there!", Osmos yelled. "That's because I haven't put in a movie yet!", I said back. "What choices are there?", Iremiya asked. I opened the shelf were all my movies were. It wasn't the largest collection you'd ever seen, but I did have a lot of favorites I've picked up over the years. "You all want to come and see what there is?", I asked them. "Whoaaa... look at them all!", Giko said in amazement. "Let's watch ALLL the movies!", Karito said, bouncing up and down. Whoa, let's calm down now! That will take us forever, Karito!, Ella thought in response. "Let me see here...", Matiro says, walking up from the couch to the display. "Oh boy, here we go...", Osmos groans in displeasure, rolling his eyes.

Megalo stared at the tiny buttons on the keyboard, comparing them with his fingers. He doubted he could, but giving it a shot wouldn't be bad, he thought. "How do you type... Andre the Giant..?", he asked. My jelly boyfriend stood there in silence, letting the thought of Megalo using up his free time to look up Andre the Giant. However, he didn't know why, but Megalo seemed to have this effect on people. My jelly boyfriend felt at peace when he taught Megalo, but he didn't know why. It must be because I'm helping a poor guy out, he thought to himself. "Let me help you.", he eventually muttered, placing his hands onto Megalo's, over the keyboard. "B-Boss?", he asked, surprised that my jelly boyfriend wanted to help him out. He looked up at my jelly boyfriend, telling him, "Thank you...", wearing a smile.

Meanwhle, Matiro was going through the DVD collection. "Say, what's this?", he asked, pulling out a Kill Bill DVD. "Oh, that movie's kind of violent. It's about a mother getting revenge.", I explained. "Revenge for what?", Barry asked, somewhat concerned. "That sounds really scary...", Karito proclaimed. "Well, I like the look of it!", Matiro casually said to everyone else. "Matiro, I swear...", Osmos said, rolling his eyes. "What?!", Matiro replied.

Suddenly, the front door knocked, freezing everyone up. Thinking quickly, I motioned to everyone to run into the guest bedroom. Not again, Mark!, Ella thought to me angrily. Look, I swear this is the last time!, I thought to her, eyes wide as I turned the T.V. off. Hey, close the door to my room, and tell them to not come out of it. You know, Mark... Ugh..., Ella thought, stomping her way down the hallway, closing the latter of both doors as she entered the guest bedroom after everyone else. I breathed in deeply, before gaining enough courage to open the door.

There was a fairly-well dressed man, donned with glasses, a periodic table tie, and hair that screamed, 'scientist'. "Hello Mark. I need to have a few words with you.", he told me.
