The sun hadn’t risen yet when Mandy, Jacob's little sister, woke that Saturday. She quietly walked down the hall and into Jake’s room. She wanted to play with his computer while he was sleeping. She wasn’t allowed to normally, but with her brother and her parents asleep Mandy knew she could get away with it. She was at the top in her class when it came to computers and very good at games they played on the school’s computer.
After turning it on, she moved the mouse over to the start button then clicked it and moved it up slowly. It was on the Documents folder when she saw an icon of a cartoon person and the word Game.
She clicked on it and the game loaded up.
She giggled when she saw a little girl character sitting at a computer like she was. She selected the bed and clicked the 2nd mouse button. Thinking this was kind of doll house game, she clicked on baby crib. Out of the corner eye she saw her brother’s bed disappear and crib replacing it. She turned to look with great amusement. She smiled then as she changed his dresser into baby’s changing table. She giggled loudly as she saw a stack of diapers on it.
She saw a funny shape square with Jake’s name in the largest box. She clicked on it to see two boy characters sleeping on the floor. Little ‘zzzz’s came from their head as they slept. She clicked on her brother and selected ‘age’. Mandy smiled when she saw the word baby by a set of numbers she knew. She liked the number 5. She selected the number 5 next to the word Baby with the ‘aware on’. The boy on the computer changed into baby wearing a diaper.
Mandy swung her legs a bit faster as she saw this, ‘Friend 1’. “That had to be Timmy,” she thought. She then selected the options to make him the same age as her then she hit ‘unaware’ not really sure that would do. The boy on the screen looked the same and only his clothes changed to more of a childlike style. Hearing her mother stir in the room middle of the hall, Mandy found the exit key and clicked on it. She knew the word save very well and hit the Y key and watched game quit.
She turned off the computer since she didn’t know how to shut it down like her brother and parents did. She quietly slipped down the stairs and saw to her delight to find a 5-year-old Timmy sleeping next to her new 5-month old baby brother on the living room floor.
Timmy woke in time to see his friend Mandy giggling at him.
"What’s so funny?" He asked.
"Nothing,” she said then swaying her body from side to side.
"How did your little brother get out of his crib?" Timmy asked when saw the baby sleeping next to him.
She giggled more at this question.
Timmy figured that Mandy somehow helped him out and placed him there as some kind of joke.
"What to watch some cartoons?" Timmy asked as he picked up the remote.
"Yeah." Mandy said, sitting next to Timmy on the sofa. Mandy kept looking down at her brother and wondering when he was going to wake up.
