Authors Note: Super_dude100 is not a real SN. Well, it could be, but I just made it up off the top of my head. Oh yeah, this chat is completely FICTIONAL.
I'm
bored so I go onto the computer to see if my best friend is online. She isn’t,
so I decide to surf or update my site. While I'm surfing, an IM message pops up:
super_dude100:Are
you Lizzi?
me: Yeah. I'm guessing you’ve been to my site?
I said that due to the fact that this was a complete stranger and I was on the SN I use for my site.
SD:yeah.
I'm not here to suggest anything. I just want to talk.
me:
k
me:
So... A/S/L
SD:

me:huh?
SD:
Umm... 23/M/somewhere on the face of this earth
me:

SD:

me:

SD:

SD:

me:wait

me:

SD:
How about we use names?
me:

The
27 yr old writes something in Spanish.
Me:
what the heck does that mean?
SD:
do you take Spanish?
Me:
if I did I wouldn’t ask what the heck that means
SD:
Duh, SD#1
SD:
Hey! Who's computer is this?
me:

SD:

me:
just a cat
SD:
#2- you have a gifted cat
me:
Um, whatever you say
SD:We're
backstreet boys
me:huh?
They
just blurted it out in front of my face. It was like they really did, because
they had to repeat it
SD:
WE ARE BACKSTREET BOYS
me:
Yeah right! Do you know how many times I've
gotten that?
SD:#2-
but we really are!
SD:#1- Yeah. I'm AJ. I said I was
23 before right? And Howie, you may not have noticed, but I used his nickname
just before.
I
scroll up
me:
Everyone knows your nicknames. And your ages
SD: How about we sing for you?
me:funny
SD: Howie- no, really. the rest of the guys are here too. Well, not in the room, but in the house.
me:
This is a CHAT ROOM.
SD:
We have mics
me:
I do too.
SD: Would you believe us if you heard our voices?
me:maybe...
me:
Allright. I'll make a voice chat room and invite you in
SD:k
Allright,
let's switch sides real quick. 20 minutes earlier…
AJ:
I betcha I can get somebody to believe!
Howie:
Well, I have to see this.
AJ
turns on the computer and goes online.
AJ:
Let's see if... hey, didn't that Backstreet
Forever place have the Webmasters screen name somewhere?
Howie:
What Backstreet Forever place?
AJ:
Oh yeah, you didn't see it. It's a fan site...
Howie:
Well, I wanna see it!
AJ
finds the site:
AJ
clicks on contact info
AJ:
A ha! look! there's her screen name
Howie:
Don’t you think she only wants to be contacted if it has to do with the site?
AJ:
It does have something to do with the site! I mean, the site is all about us!
Howie:
All right... But I want to see a little more of the site first!
Back
to my point of view
I hope I did this right
SD:
yo
me:
Good! It worked!
SD: How do we voice chat?
me:
turn on your mic, then click on the little icon thingie
SD:k
I
turn on my mic, turn up the speakers, and click. My heart starts beating a
little faster. Okay Lizzi, it's probably NOT them.
AJ:
So, believe yet?
I
freeze. It sounds so much like AJ
Howie:
Hello?
Whoa,
that really sounds like Howie.
Me:
Hi
AJ:
well, do you believe it's us?
I
decide to tease them a little
Me:
No.
AJ:
well then, do you have a camera?
Me:
No. Wait, I just got one!
Excitedly
I turn it on
Me:
do you?
Howie:
I think she believes us. Hear how excited she is?
AJ:
Yeah, we have a camera. I'm guessing we click here...
I
click too. All of a sudden, another box pops up, showing two figures. I take a
deep breath to calm myself
Me
(quietly): Oh my God...
AJ
and Howie laugh.
AJ:
Now you believe?
Me:
Yeah... Unless you guys cloned yourselves or something...
Howie:
Happy birthday!
Me:
how did you know that?
Howie:
We went to your site
Well,
duh. That's how they got my screen name.
Just
then another face appears. And another…
Brian
and Nick (at the same time): Hello!
Me:
this is too much...
Nick:
What is?
Me:
this is WAY too good to be true!
I
hear another voice "What are you guys doing?"
Nick:
Talkin' to a fan
Kevin:
Let me see!
Kevins
face appears on the screen
Kev:
where is she?
Brian:
Look! She's hiding!
Me:
(laughing)
AJ:
remember that site we saw last night?
Nick:
Yeah?
Howie:
That's the webmistress
Me:
Your lovely web mistress.
Kev:
How old are you?
Me:
15, but my birthday is coming up…
All
of a sudden an IM message pops up. It’s my best friend.
mybestfriend:Hey Lizzi!
me:
You finally get online and I'm busy talking to somebody else. Oh my
God, you
would kill me if...
AJ:

Me:
Just a sec. My best friend is online.
Nick:

Me:Yep.
I'm going to invite her in. hold on
Mybestfriend: Lizzi?
me:

and you just

mybestfriend: Yeah, what's going on?
me:

Me
(to the BSB): Okay, I sent an invitation. Lucky her, she just got a camera too.
mybestfriend:

Me:
They look familiar to you?
mybestfriend:

BSB:
Hi!
Mybestfriend:
All right guys, that was corny...
mybestfriend:

Brian:
Yikes! She's crazy!
Me:
(laughing) I didn't think she would react like that! I mean, I thought I was
more likely to scream!
Nick:
And now she starts hyperventilating...
mybestfriend:
I'm okay. oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God...
Me: (giggling)
AJ: So you wanted
proof.
Me: you still
didn’t sing…
All of
a sudden they begin singing:
Happy Birthday to you,
Brian: Cha cha

(Nick starts
laughing)
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy
Birthday dear Lizzi,
Happy Birthday to you!
AJ: (finishing) And your best friend, toooooo…
AJ: what’s you favorite song?
Mybestfriend: ummmmmmm…
Me: sing More Than That!
They sang, and it was the most beautiful a capella I ever
heard, and I will never forget it, or this day…
