The date is April, 1980.
There was a knock at the door. Mrs. Greenough opened it and looked down to find a little boy standing there, proudly holding a large plastic model of a starship. Nervously, he said,
"Ummmm, hello, Mrs. Greenough, can Tracey come out and play?"
Tracey's mother called for her, and a little girl in pigtails still in her school uniform appeared at the door.
"Hello Wanderer."
"Heya Tracey, look what I got!! " he said showing off his starship. "It's just like the one in the movie!! It's my birthday today!!"
"Wow, that's pretty cool. I want one too!" she replied.
"Wanna come over and play starships?" he asked.
"Sure thing."
Tracey's mother said, "Don't be late back, Tracey, you have homework to do young lady!"
23 years later.
There was a chiming noise on the computer as Wanderer logged in to MSN. Moments later, a message popped up on TraceyG's computer.
"Heya Tracey. It's my birthday today! Can you come to play on the SFC2 server? I just got this cool model of a Fed BC!!"
"Sure thing, Wanderer. I'll do my homework later.... "
"Cool beans!" he replied.
Happy Birthday Wanderer, enjoy your day...
