Episode 16: *Hacker voice* I'm in

The websites' lives are finally back to normal, or as normal as they can be after episode 15 happened. Pinterest is walking around the office, searching for something.

Yahoo: Are you looking for something?

Pinterest: Yes, actually. Ever since I took Wikipedia home after the party, I've been missing some posts from my boards.

Yahoo: Should I tell him to give them back?

Pinterest: No, he wasn't the one that stole them. The only things he took from me were some of my best stationary and Fanfic's email address.

In another tab

Wikipedia: [writing] If you don't... [writing] ...give me back... [writing] ...what's rightfully mine... [writing] ...I will... [writing] ...fight you... [writing] ...for her. Meet me... [writing] ...tomorrow... [writing] ...In the Walmart parking lot at 3 a.m.... [writing]...

Google: I'm not sending this.

Yahoo: [to Pinterest]  Bing was also with you then, right? do you think he might have stole them?

Pinterest: No, he didn't steal anything of mine. But you might want to check your right hand.

Yahoo looks at he right hand. The engagement ring is gone.

Bing: Hahaha! At last, Yahoo's engagement ring is mine!

Yahoo: *grabs ring back* Give me that! Shoo!

Bing grumbles and walks away.

Yahoo: What exactly was stolen anyway? Maybe if we know what it is, we can better estimate who stole it?

Pinterest: It was nothing really.

Yahoo: Well, if you want me to help you search for it later, just give me a call.

Yahoo starts to walk away, then stops when a loud beeping can be heard.

Yahoo: What is that?

Pinterest: You heard it too?

The lights start to flicker.

Pinterest: What's going on? This never happens!

The beeping gets louder.

Yahoo: Pinterest, what are the pins that are missing?

Pinterest: Nothing that would cause this! Just some code, a grappling hook, and of course I can't forget—

The lights cut out. All security goes down.

Tumblr: WE'RE BEING HACKED! *screaming*

Pinterest: I don't understand, who would do something like this?

Scene switches to Rebecca, sitting at a computer in a room full of other kids.

Rebecca: *hacker voice* I'm in.

*

The kids from Rebecca's daycare are running around the office. Google, Yahoo, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Facebook are stuck in the middle of it all.

Google: This is madness! There are kids everywhere!

Pinterest: I can't even see who I'm standing next to! Yahoo, is that Yah-you?

Tumblr: 3/10 bad pun.

Pinterest: Whatever. Is this going to be another power outage like the awful one last year that locked us all in our rooms?

Yahoo: I wouldn't count on it.

The lights come on again, slightly dimmer.

Yahoo: I installed a generator after the last power outage to make sure it wouldn't happen again.

Google: Well, the lights problem is solved. But it still doesn't explain what's going on with these kids!

Yahoo: Maybe the daycare center let out early?

Pinterest: No, I would've gotten a text if I was supposed to watch Rebecca today.

Tumblr: I mean, there was the time she walked to your house instead of playing outside.

Pinterest: But she wouldn't bring her friends, at least not this many!

Poptropica climbs on top of a bookshelf.

Poptropica: KID RULE ADULTS DROOL!

YouTube: *runs over* Get down from there!

Yahoo: Maybe if we ask one of the kids they'll lead us in the right direction?

Facebook: That's not how kids work.

Tumblr: Then, please, master of childhood psychology, tell us how the children's brains work?

Facebook: When faced with a question, children do one of two things: Lie or be  brutally honest.

Tumblr: Oh really? I would've never guessed! 

Facebook: I'm just saying, if you can't handle it, don't ask.

Pinterest: I think I can handle it. [Coolmath Games runs by] Hey, kid! Do you know anything about how you got in this place?

Coolmath: Yep.

Pinterest: [excitedly] Yes! Who let you in?

Coolmath: I'll tell your friends behind you, but I'm not gonna tell you!!!

Pinterest: [offended] Well why not?

Coolmath: You ruined my birthday party last year! You know what you did!

Coolmath whispers to Tumblr, then runs away. Pinterest looks at her angrily.

Pinterest: [yelling] Pineapple pizza is considered a delicacy in some cultures! You should be thanking me!

Facebook: Calm down, Pinterest.

Yahoo: So, what did Coolmath say?

Tumblr: She said it's because of that rainbow-haired girl. So I'm guessing... Webkinz?

Facebook: It's Edge.

Google: [completely ignoring Facebook] I don't know, Webkinz doesn't seem like the type to hack a company.

Facebook: It was Edge.

Pinterest: Well, neither does Rebecca and she's still an option.

Facebook: [yelling and stomping foot] IT! WAS! EDGE!

A pause.

Tumblr: Guys, I think it was Edge.

Google: Great idea, Tumblr! Now, let's try to find Edge.

Google, Yahoo, and Pinterest wade through the sea of kids to find Edge. Tumblr walks forward but Facebook grabs her arm.

Facebook: That wasn't funny, Tumblr!

Tumblr: [laughs] I thought it was pretty funny.

Facebook: You know that stuff always messes me up!

Tumblr: I know you're a know it all who needs to stay in her lane.

Facebook: [grumbles]

Tumblr: [sticks out her tongue in a teasing way]

*

The websites finally wade through the sea of children to Edge's office. Edge is talking to Pandora and Spotify.

Edge: Oh, more visitors! Please, come in!

Spotify: Great, more people to be involved in the discourse.

Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Tumblr, and Pinterest  walk into the office.

Edge: What do you all need?

Google: Why are there kids literally flooding this floor?

Edge: I don't know, someone should really take care of that.

Facebook: So nobody here has answers? This is just perfect!

Edge: They should all just be condensed to the 4th floor. That is where the new daycare center is.

Pandora: WHAT?

Spotify: DAYCARE CENTER?

Spotify tries to fight Edge, but Pandora holds her back. They both glare at the browser.

Pinterest: I don't understand, isn't a daycare center good?

Spotify: Yeah, maybe for you!

Pandora: Edge, you promised us we could move back to the fourth floor as soon as you got everything fixed up! 

Edge: I know, and I was going to, but then I heard Ms. Disney's daycare was going out of business, and most of those kids want to be websites anyway, so it's the least I could do.

Pandora: This is exactly like when Burr betrayed Hamilton and ran for senate against Hamilton's father in law!

Spotify: You know she's mad when her Hamilton references are getting less accurate!

Edge: There is some good news to this, right? You'll be able to stay here on the seventh floor with all your friends from social media.

Pandora: I can't even. Let's go, Spotify.

Spotify: Peace, dudes.

Pandora and Spotify leave.

Edge: Well, I guess we should all just start rounding up the kids and sending them downstairs. Do you want me to help?

Google: No, we've got this. See you later, Edge.

The websites walk back out into the sea of children.

Tumblr: It's good to know that it's not just us that she's messing with.

Rebecca runs up to Quotev.

Rebecca: Hi, miss? I can't find my goat. Can you find him?

Quotev: You have a goat?

A small goat jumps onto Quotev's desk and starts eating her hair.

Rebecca: Oh, there he is!

Quotev: Ah! Get away from my hair! Shoo! Shoo!

Rebecca: Sorry, he only speaks German. Hör auf mit dem Essen der netten Dame zu haar!

The goat nods and jumps off the desk. Rebecca runs away with the goat running alongside her.

Quotev: I don't know who that kid is, but she is awesome!

*

Google: Don't get me wrong, this has all been super fun, but shouldn't we be getting these children back to their, er, natural habitat?

Yahoo: You're right, but in order to do that we need to find their leader, and even though Edge made some mistakes, I don't think she's really in charge here.

Pinterest: Then who do you think is?

Facebook: Probably Rebecca.

Pinterest: Yeah, let's go ask Rebecca!

They walk away, trying to find Rebecca. 

Tumblr: Ugh, you guys didn't keep up the joke!

Yahoo: This isn't the time for jokes. If you want to prank Facebook, do it yourself.

Tumblr rolls her eyes and trips Facebook who scowls at her and trips Tumblr back.

*

Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Tumblr, and Pinterest search around the office, looking for Pinterest's niece, Rebecca. They don't find anything for a while.

Tumblr: Guys, I think I've found her! [opens door to Safari's office]

Webkinz is sitting alone in the dark eating grapes with Rebecca's goat on Siri's desk.

Tumblr: I—

Webkinz: I don't have answers.

Yahoo: Alright then... [awkwardly closes door]

Google: I don't think we'll find anything in this mess if we don't split up.

Yahoo: Agreed. She's probably made it off this floor by now.

Pinterest: Okay, you guys search floors 1 & 2, Facebook can search floor 5, and Tumblr and I will stay here.

Google: Great plan! Meet back here in an hour if you don't find anything.

Google and Yahoo walk into the elevator. The doors close.

*

Pinterest is just randomly opening and closing doors now. She is just about to give up, but then she sees something interesting in the conference room.

Pinterest: Is that a blanket fort?

Rebecca: No?

Pinterest walks into the conference room. Rebecca is covered in blankets. She scoots away when Pinterest goes to talk to her.

Pinterest: Would the owner of this blanket fort please step forward?

Rebecca pulls one of the blankets off her face.

Rebecca: This had better be important.

Pinterest: It is. Look, I know it's fun to make a mess and you wanted all your friends to see where your aunt works, but hacking a company isn't the answer to all of that. This isn't a game, sweetie. This will probably cost us thousands of dollars to fix.

Rebecca: I know.

Pinterest: You know?

Rebecca: That was kind of the whole point of this.

Pinterest: Why would you want to destroy all of our very important work?

Rebecca: Because it's my dream job! I don't want to be a website, but my mom still wants me to work on the internet, so what's the next best thing? Being a virus.

Pinterest: People can't be viruses, Rebecca. It's physically impossible.

Rebecca: You don't know that. Science has come a long way since you were a kid. Maybe by the time I'm a grown up I can be a virus.

Pinterest: Becky, that's not a good career path anyway. You've got potential. Sure, you could waste that potential as a hacker of some sort. But the way you gathered all these kids today? That sounds like a browser to me.

Rebecca: But I thought browsers were all super serious grown ups?

Pinterest: They're not all... Look, sweetie, you're only in fourth grade, you have at least eight years before you should even consider getting a real job. And until then, I promise, your parents and I will support you, no matter what career you choose.

Rebecca: Even if I'm a virus?

Pinterest: Especially if you're a virus. Now, will you promise to call off this hack?

Rebecca: Fine. But you have to give me a hug first.

Pinterest: I'll take that deal.

Rebecca leans over and hugs her aunt. They smile, and Rebecca uses Pinterest's phone to text all the other kids, telling them to go back downstairs. The camera slowly moves away from the conference room, to the bookshelf on the back wall, into Facebook's secret room on the other side of the wall. Facebook has been listening to Pinterest and Rebecca's conversation and is smiling. A single tear rolls down her cheek as she looks at a picture of her family. She sighs and drops the picture, and it drifts over and lands on a pile of books, the top one reading "Facebook's Diary: vol. 3-7"


A/N *not-so-subtly slips foreshadowing into everything I do*

So? How did everyone like that chapter? I'm sorry for how many mistakes there's probably going to be, I only just finished this an hour ago lol.

Also, please remember to take our survey on your favorite moments of AsM in 2016! This will be your last week to do so, because I'm actually going to use that information in next week's episode!

Also, even though I know she'll never read this, Happy Birthday Kate Mckinnon! Kate Mckinnon is an actress who was in the new Ghostbusters reboot and is a cast member on SNL. She's a huge inspiration to me, so I suggest you check out some of her work! (Especially Ghostbusters (2016), it's hilarious).

There will be an episode next week.

Stay golden, web fans!
