Memoirs
of a Young Guardian
by
Fidget
Author's Note: Not like 'Confessions of a Command.com' very much. This is just a ficlet, one week in Bob's life. The first week, actually. Not in depth or anything, just something silly I threw together in Spanish and Geometry.
Day
1
Portalled into system to stop rampaging virus and ended up with pretty girl
hitting on me. Literally. Must now wash uniform as is quite tearstained.
Am to be
promoted to full Guardian for conduct in Kilobyte/Gigabyte episode.
V. happy
am not going to have to sit in dorm room with ascii-art roommate, being made
fun of for not having a girlfriend.
Note: Plan
to obtain girlfriend as quickly as possible.
Day 2
Turns out Kilo-Gigabyte split into two virii when he entered this system (Mainframe).
Oops.
Note: Ask
just what that gateway thing did. Takes a lot of energy to split a virus of
that class.
Saved Mainframe
from the brink of destruction. Acted macho for Dot (that's the pretty girl's
name: Dot Matrix).
Day 3
Went to local fast-food place after toaster fiasco. Coincidence: Dot owns it!
"Dot's Diner" has v. good energy shakes and even better company.
Saved Baudway (one of only 8 sectors, what a small system!) from a game cube.
Played jetball with Enzo (Dot's younger brother). Checked Dot out when she wasn't
paying attention and decided she is quite the looker.
Day 4
Took stuff to make hair grow faster b/c last haircut was unbelievably bad.
Head feels all tingly. Had to save Mainframe even with tingly head.
Hid from Dot since scalp is all purple. Dot probably never has bad haircuts.
Day 5
Hair much longer. Looks snazzy.
Played in a game cube and had to protect Enzo b/c he followed me in. Got chewed
out by Dot for letting him in like it was my fault. Dot gets pouty lower lip
when she's angry.
Was told by reliable source that hair looked really good. Told her that made
two of us. Endured eye-roll.
Day 6
Dot not wearing purple!!!!!!!
She's wearing a peach-colored jumpsuit and her hair up more conservatively.
Also seems to be wearing underthing where she wasn't before.
Nulls.
Saved Mainframe and had crashing good sandwich.
Day 7
Had to stop Megabyte (1/2 of Kilobyte) going through a portal to the Super Computer.
Has far too many virals in his sector (yes, a whole sector). Dot came with me
into game cube and made v. good shot. Megabyte followed us but I beat him with
stuff from the S.C.
Had opportunity while sitting next to Dot in the diner to "accidentally"
shuffle my foot into hers, a lot, while telling Enzo about the S.C.
Think I like it here in Mainframe.
End.
