They say you never forget how to ride a bicycle, yeah?

[Rose pans her mirror down from her waaaaay tall bicycle.]

I really hope that's true, because I don't much like my chances of getting back on it if I fall. Wish me luck!

[She sets out, and so far, so good.] Okay, so anyone else get jobs yet and all that? Give me sound my first night out, since I didn't wanna risk my cybud up here.

[Exclusively for her "roommates," there's a pair of cupcakes, one for 12 and Michael respectively. 12's is banana with edible ball-bearings, and Michael's is devil's chocolate with a paperclip. Both have messages.]

[Oh my gosh. Fenton's eyes go wide.]

That is a very, very tall bike. What do you need such a tall bike for, anyway? It'd be great for picking apples...

Ahh... if you get nervous, just look straight ahead. Don't look down, keep your head up, and keep focussed on where you want to go.

I've got a night job. I start on the 1st.

Just a tiny bit racist, but still delicious. And I love the paperclip. I don't want to eat it.

[he's got it very delicately folded away in a napkin.]

I got a job, today, too. I start tomorrow - they're letting me work at the Emporium, that big store full of all the stuff! I'm so excited, Rose. All that human stuff.

That is a tall bicycle! I haven't seen one of those since...

[ He counted on his fingers before giving up the task for an estimate. ]

It has been a while. Maybe what you need is to strap a few pillows to yourself, then at least you would have a soft landing if you fell.

Eo, don't say such crude things on the network, miss!

Lydia is at work when she sees a bike go by that's so tall, she can't see the rider. She glances around quickly to make sure there are no customers, then ducks outside to investigate, wishing she had a camera of her own again. Soon.

"Wow, I've never seen a bike like that before! You've got really good balance."

[he will give her a message back, tucked against her pillow]

Out practicing.
But just so you know, you are amazing.
I regret nothing about the time we had.
And look forward to the time we have.

p.s. The cupcake was delicious. Bananas are good (winky face)
