Why was it that, when he hung out with Cindy, they'd always end up here? Plug wondered as he opened the door to his apartment. Was it purely coincidence, or was it...something more than that? Perhaps...fate? He laughed. Nah. That was as likely as him being a character in a story written by a dairy product. His mind drifted back to the events that had led to them coming here tonight... THIS IS A FLASHBACK Plug and Cindy sat in an alleyway, waiting for the next being to pass by. Cindy was running out of subjects to experiment on. These two events were related. They both laughed because of a joke but the narrator can't be bothered to make one up so make one up yourself, but suddenly Plug turned serious. There had been a question he had been wanting to ask her for a while now, but he had never plucked up the courage to do so. "Cindy?" he asked with a soft voice. "I've been thinking. Thinking about...us. And our friendship." There was a silence, a silence full of intense emotion... ...for they had gone on a Tumblr break. "Anyway, carry on with what you were saying," Cindy said after an hour of reblogging and disregarding grammar. "I've been thinking about us lately," Plug continued. "And...I know we've got a pretty steady friendship - I mean, you only want to kill me once or twice a week now - but I want more. I want you to show me more than what I've already seen." THIS IS THE END OF THE FLASHBACK Cindy had thought about it for a while, before finally agreeing. And so they had made their way here. "What I'm showing you is something I don't show many people," Cindy said. Plug nodded. Cindy switched on Plug's laptop, bringing up lines and lines of the naked code behind a personal project she had been working on. "There. My Python." "Wow. That's ...incredible," Plug said, admiration creeping into his voice. "Have you worked on it for long?" "Yes. At work, when nobody's looking, I bring in out and work on it. At home, on the bus, just everywhere. Whenever I can, I bring it out, and it's always on my mind." There was another silence, as they began their second Tumblr break of the evening. Then Cindy let Plug experiment on her Python for a while, an experience he greatly enjoyed. The next day, he boasted to all his friends about how he had seen, and worked on Cindy's Python. And yes, he answered, it was truly a sight he wouldn't forget, for it was amazingly massive and incredible.
