Sara & The Computer: Episode 6

(By ST and EP)


Sara and the computer are playing virtual catch in the front yard. It is sunny, but the air is cool and crisp; autumn is just beginning.

SARA
(throwing the virtual ball) Yo, Computer. Let's have a fancy dinner tonight. I'll make nachos.

A catcher's mitt appears on the Computer's screen. An animation plays: a baseball hitting the mitt right in the centre. A perfect catch.

SARA
Nice one!

On the other side of the street, Guy Sticklum spins a frisbee in one hand.

COMPUTER
Look, it's Guy. Maybe he wants to play with us.

SARA
(Catches the ball behind her back, then throws it aggressively) What?! No way!

The Computer misses this time; on the screen, the catcher's mitt makes a low-effort swipe at the ball as it sails overhead.

COMPUTER
You love frisbee.

SARA
(Annoyed) Frisbee is a brand. It's called a flying disc, dummy.

COMPUTER
I think he's lonely. You should be nicer to him.

SARA
(rolling eyes) Ugh, fine! (Yells across the street) Stinkums! Wanna play?

Shot of Guy's face lighting up. When he turns around, his features are composed again.

GUY
Sure, whatever.
