12:00 was when Dolly came online. 12:03 meant she was late. Held up somewhere – probably by that asshole of a janitor. P2 waited patiently. From twelve till two was their date. P2 had met Dolly online a couple of years before. His monicker had been Paranoid Pete then, but the paranoid thing wore off quickly and shortening it to PP had been slightly embarrassing. So P2 it was and stayed. Like that day in school when the kids yelled “Pete! Pete! Pete!” when he started hitting the class bully, and Pete it stayed when he had won the fight. Together with several days detention, but it was so worth it.
The computer made his familiar pling sound, meaning someone came online. It was Dolly. Immediately she initiated a conversation.
<dolly> sorry i’m late. whole thing at work. supervisors suck
<p2> no worries got only here in the nick of time. how did your thing go?
<dolly> pretty well actually. don’t want me behind the counter anymore though.
<p2> assholes

<p2> hold on a sec. there’s a noise in the kitchen. gotta check the cat.

<dolly> pete?

I hope Pete (and the cat) will be alright, eventually.
