Episode 1: Pilot

The social media websites are all "working" at their jobs in Computer Corp. Facebook is painting her nails. Twitter is talking to YouTube and Instagram. Wikipedia is trying to spread rumors, despite there being posters up saying "Even if Wikipedia says it's true-don't believe it!". Pinterest is decorating her office and Fanfic is reading. DeviantArt is fangirling with Tumblr over Phan head canons. The cubicles are set up like tabs.

Google: Attention, websites.

The websites continue ignoring him.

Google: Attention!

Yahoo and Bing look up, everyone else ignores him

Google: Sorry everyone, but it's come to this. *sends a bunch of pop-up ads to all websites*

Facebook: Ah! I thought this new software promised ad-free.

Google: Nothing's truly ad-free. Now, I wanted to make an announcement.

Tumblr: [rolls eyes] You could've just said that.

Google: I don't want any sass from you, young lady.

Tumblr: So what? You can't fire me. Only Yahoo can now.

Yahoo: Sass Google one more time and I'll have you fired.

Tumblr: [angrily posts SPN gif]

Google: Anyway, before I was rudely interrupted by Tumblr, I wanted to say, today's interview day again. Today the browsers have the power to ask us our plans for the coming year and evaluate how much funding we receive. Make sure to answer these questions in complete honesty and in no manner, that will make our company look bad. I'm talking to you, Wikipedia.

Wikipedia: What? I'm not all bad...

Yahoo: You tried to tell us Joe Biden was a unicorn.

Wikipedia: I have 3 sources on that! 3 sources!

Facebook: Google, is it true your brother is one of the browsers?

Google: [sighs] Yes, my younger brother Chrome has been promoted to browser status while I've sat here at the same tab for 17 long, dismal years.

Bing: Well, I'm, uh, related to Internet Explorer! He's my Uncle and the first browser!

Tumblr: That isn't a good thing, Spammy.

Bing: Don't call me Spammy!

Tumblr: That's totally something a spammer would say!

Google: Calm down! It's not a competition. Anyway, not everyone will be interviewed, but if you are, keep in mind that you are representing the company. We want them to see us as an important and high-functioning branch of the company, not just a group of people who once spent an entire day debating which Harry Potter book was the best.

Fanfiction.net: *only half listening because writing* In my defense, that was the most productive work day since before meme culture.

Google: I have here an advance copy of the interviews. Internet explorer will be interviewing Tumblr, Pinterest, and Bing today.

Tumblr: Ugh, do I have to talk to Internet ex-bore-er?

Yahoo: That wasn't even very creative. And try to be nice, Internet Explorer is desperately in need of friends.

Google: Good point Yahoo. To continue, Chrome will be interviewing me, YouTube, and Wikipedia today.

Wikipedia: Ah yes, Chrome. Aka, Google's evil younger brother.

Google: Chrome is not evil.

Wikipedia: That's what you think.

Google: Safari will be interviewing Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Facebook: Yeah, cuz we're totes awesomesauce!

Twitter: Can I skip this interview? I only talk in short bursts.

Instagram: Believe in yourself! No one should make you feel shy because you are amazing and everyone's beautiful <3

Facebook: How did you manage to say "<3" aloud?

Wikipedia: Aliens.

Google: Lastly, Firefox will be interviewing Yahoo, DeviantArt, and Fanfiction

DeviantArt: From now on, just call me DevA. It's easier to spell.

Facebook: *hums "Call Me Maybe"*

YouTube: *flirting* Hey Yahoo, can I call you maybe?

Yahoo: Call me Mrs. Yahoo!

Google: Mrs?

Yahoo: *blushing* I-uh, got married last year.

Facebook: OMG I WANT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT THEM!!!

Google: Well, you guys can talk while you wait. Tumblr is up first, but given Internet Explorer's reputation for being late, I'd say I'll end up going first.

All the websites go back to sitting at their tabs, continuing what they were doing in the beginning of the episode. The browsers all eventually show up; Chrome first, next Firefox, third Safari, and last Internet explorer.

Twitter: Ohmigosh it's the browsers!!!!

Pinterest: I can't believe they're here!

Facebook: I've seen cooler. [goes back to staring at her phone]

Tumblr: [hits phone out of Facebook's hand] Are you out of your mind?! Browsers are the most prestigious thing one can dream of being in this company. They run the show. Their jobs are to go from each branch of the company to the next, checking on websites, fixing everything miraculously—

Instagram: I've even hear Chrome once met one of the most powerful viruses in Computer Corp. history and killed in with a single line of code!

Facebook: Yawn. That sounds like the most boring job in the world. I mean, who even dreams of being a website when they grow up? Browsers just seem like over glorified janitors to me.

Google: Tumblr, Facebook, stop it. The browsers are guests here, and at CC, we respect our guests.

Tumblr: Only Yah—

Tumblr's line is cut off by one of the browsers, Internet Explorer, choosing the first person to interview, which happens to be Tumblr. They leave, and the rest of the websites continue their jobs, nervously.

Tumblr's interview:

Internet explorer: Hello there! Sorry I was so late. By the way, who are you?

Tumblr: I'm Tumblr. Your worst nightmare.

Internet explorer: Nah, my worst nightmare is having myself erased from existence. Who's she?

Tumblr looks over at a girl standing next to her. The girl has brown hair, braided in a complex fashion with pencils sticking out of it and an apron with an inspirational quote embroidered on it. Tumblr sighs, frustrated.

Tumblr:  Pinterest! I told you not to follow me!

Pinterest: But we're BFFs! We do everything together!

Tumblr: These are supposed to be individual interviews!

Internet explorer: Oh, it's fine.

Pinterest: Yay! I can stay! [notices Internet Explorer's pen] Is that a pen? Cool pen. Can I have that pen?

Internet explorer: Well, no. I need it for the—

Pinterest: [takes pen] Wow, thanks! I'll make sure to give you credit in the description! [runs off]

Internet explorer: What just happened?

Tumblr: Pinterest happened. She's like a tornado in a dollhouse, always picking stuff up, claiming it as her own, and setting it down in seemingly odd places that still fit the aesthetic.

Internet explorer: I only understand about half of those words.

Tumblr: You are the worst kind of normal.

Internet Explorer: Anyway, uh, what do you do at Computer Corp? It's for the interview, it's not like I didn't know that either.

Tumblr: My plans for the year are to do absolutely nothing except try to add as much meaningless stuff to my app as I can. I can get away with this because everyone else here glitches whenever they try to fix me. For example, due to my many broken audio posts and your tendency to crash whenever faced with too much information, you will forget this conversation ever happened in 3... 2... 1...

Internet explorer: *glitches* Those plans sound great. Keep up the good work.

Tumblr laughs to herself.

Bing's interview:

Internet explorer: And who are you?

Bing: YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM??? I'm Bing, peasant.

Internet explorer: Sorry. I don't get invited here much.

Bing: Apology accepted.

Internet Explorer: So, out of all your co-workers, who would you be most likely to murder?

Bing: WHAT THE HE**!? WHO EVEN ASKS THAT QUESTION?!

Internet explorer: It gives us insight into the minds of our employees.

Bing: Is this going on the record?

Internet explorer: Everything is on the record.

Bing: [slyly] May I have a look at these records?

Internet explorer: Sorry, no.

Bing: I will tell you my answer, but only if you tell me yours.

Internet explorer: Fine. It's Chrome

Bing: Google.

Internet explorer: Wow! It's like we're twins!

Bing: Yeah, except if we were "Parks and Recreation" characters, you'd be Jerry Gergich and I'd be Tom Haverford. Good day to you, sir. *walks out of the room*

Facebook's interview:

Safari: Hello, Facebook.

Facebook: Hi, person who obviously thinks they're superior to me just because they're at a higher rank in this company which doesn't mean anything.

Safari: I'll try to ignore that. What do you have planned for this coming year's work?

Facebook: I prefer to make it up as I go along. I'm unpredictable.

Safari: Did you just change your shirt?

Facebook: UNPREDICTABLE!

off-screen voice: YOUR NEW SHIRT SUCKS!

Facebook: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY. WHAT. DID. YOU. JUST. SAY. I AM QUEEN HERE! I DO WHAT I WANT! YOLO!

Safari: Calm down!

Facebook: *crying* Why don't people like me? ;(

Safari: It's fine! Your shirt is nice.

Facebook: My mascara is like, on point after crying. Mind if I take a selfie?

Safari: Can I just ask you a question first?

Facebook: OMG WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALWAYS WASTE MY TIME! I H8 U!

Safari: I think I have all I need. You can go now.

Facebook: Fine. *leaves*

Safari: That was an emotional rollercoaster.

Facebook: *yelling from other room* I HEARD THAT!

Wikipedia's interview:

Chrome: So, you're the famous Wikipedia?

Wikipedia: Yep. Doing student's homework wrongly since 2001.

Chrome: Got any dirt on Google?

Wikipedia: Just a few lawsuits. Care to give me any new info?

Chrome: I don't have any. Well, he hasn't had a girlfriend for 5 years.

Wikipedia: Interesting! Can I put you down as a source?

Chrome: Sure. Back to the interview...

Wikipedia: Want to hear about Instagram controversies?

Chrome: Not now. As I was saying,

Wikipedia: Should I edit your page?

Chrome: ...

Wikipedia: Did you know Joe Biden is a unicorn?

DevA's interview:

Firefox: What are you drawing?

DevA: Nothing.

Firefox: Come on, you can tell me!

DevA: Fine. It's how Wikipedia would look as a fish.

Firefox: What?

DevA: I like the shading on this part of his eye.

Firefox: Why are you drawing him? Do you like him?

DevA: Oh he** no! My order for people drawn as animals goes: Cat, dog, butterfly, fox, other animals, then fish.

Firefox: Cool! What am I?

DevA: Do you seriously need to ask? YOU'RE A FOX!

Firefox: Alright, alright. I've only been at this branch a total of three times before this.

DevA: Whatever. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go back to my desk to find a layer to merge.

*after all interviews are done*

Firefox: Wow, this division of the company is really... interesting.

Internet Explorer: That's not how it was when I was younger. They really should have more supervision.

Safari: I guess we could spent 75% of our time helping out here...

Chrome: No, this place needs more than that.

Firefox: *sighs* I'll rearrange our schedules.



A/N (Updated A/N from 10/12/16) I can't believe it's been over a year since I first posted this! I had no idea what it was going to turn into, and I guess the new readers don't either. This first episode was just used as a basis for explaining the characters' personalities, but stick with this and we will get to some major plot. Trust me.

Also, for everyone wondering where Wattpad was I didn't know what she'd be like so I saved her until episode 2. So keep reading and you'll find her!

(Thank you for 500 reads and 100 comments! It means so much!)
