Maaaaybe she would bother Roch on groanspring. Only just a little. She typed out the first message.
Roch. ROCH.
She waited about five minutes. Still nothing. Maybe she wasn't portraying the message clearly?
ROCH, I'M BORED!!!!
Still nothing. Danny just began typing random s**t now.
Roch, Why aren't you answering?
Roch, what's your favorite color?
Hey wait, do you have an acoustic guitar handy?
Oh wait, your fear thingy does both ... nevermind!
UGH, I GIVE UP ON YOU!!!!!!!!
Danny was just about ready to slam her head on the keyboard with boredom. Well this sucked. What was she supposed to do! Her homework?
Oh shoot! That's right! She was supposed to be doing that! Danny frantically opened the page to greugle once more. She stared at the search box before typing in "MATING." Softly, she said to herself, "M .... A .... T ..." as she typed out the letters. As if she needed to remind herself what they were.
The pictures that came up were ... weird to say the least. Lots of scantily clad women and jerkwad looking guys. Danny didn't really see them as unpleasant people as most would, just weird. Did mating mean you dressed funny? You didn't wear lots of clothing that is? Maybe it was an attitude thing? Danny really did slam her head on the keyboard now. This was just getting stupid!
Sighing, she opened a piece of paper (at least, that's what she called it. Opening a piece of paper) and began typing up her great "essay."
The Amazing Essay
Mating is really weird. You just ... dress funny and are a jerk. I don't really get how that makes a scareling, but I guess it does. Here are some pictures I found off the net.
After much fumbling with the mouse and tools (she didn't know how to copy and paste after all!) she finally pasted a few pictures onto the document. There! Absolutely perfect! Her teachers would love this, right?
Though ... it didn't really look right. Hadn't the teacher talked about ways of preventing it too? Wasn't that just like a ... lifestyle change? Danny scratched her head and bit the end of her eraser. The pencil snake immediately bit her and slithered off, clearly offended that she would bite it. "Oops," Danny mumbled, cross that her search wasn't going well. She ran to her kitchen and grabbed a bandaid for her hand and then continued typing.
The Amazing Essay
To prevent FEAR from going back you just uhm ... Like ... don't be a jerk? And wear lots of parkas.
Danny sighed. This didn't look right at all. Perhaps she should look for some help? Her scraptop made little beeping noises as it powered down, and went to sleep. Literally. It's eyes closed and it went to sleep. Danny patted it lovingly and then headed out the door to the school bulletin board. If anywhere was going to have tutors, it would say there right?

Danny dialed the appropriate number. There was a long tone until someone on the other end eventually responded. "Hello how may I help you?"
"I want to know what mating is!!" Danny said eagerly. The person on the other end hung up immediately. Danny gave a huff and blew her bangs out of her face. How rude! She just wanted some answers! She dialed the number again and waited for someone to pick up.
"Hello how may I help you?"
"I want a tutor," she said, very politely.
"Please fill out a form in the office. Thank you!" Click. Phone called ended.
Danny now had a goal. The office! Skipping rather happily now that she had accomplished something, Danny headed off to her wonderous office goal. It was like a quest! Okay maybe not a quest. It was still exciting! It was turning out to be a pretty wonderful day. She didn't even need greugle!
Once at the office, Danny politely sat down and waited for her turn. Once the secretary called her name, Danny said, "I want a tutor form thingy!" The secretary gave her a skeptical look. Danny had definitely seen that look before, but paid no mine. The secretary probably just had a funny set face, right? With her signature goofy smile, Danny waited for her form to print out patiently. She was so excited! Pretty soon she was going to be even smarter than Moure! She was already smarter than Roch, but that wasn't saying much of course.
As soon as the paper printed out, Danny immediately got to work scribbling down her name and dorm number. What did she need from her tutor? In big bold letters Danny wrote "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MATING IS. AND HOW TO PREVENT IT PLEASE. THANK YOU!" She drew a little heart next to it for emphasis. This was fullproof! She was going to ace Cricket's class, she just knew it. No doubt!
Danny set her little form in the tutoring bin and waited. The bin stared back at her like "shoo! get away from me!" so Danny took her cue. She skipped back to her dorm and immediately went to her guitar to play a happy song. It was a good day. A good, good day.
