A Touch of Rain

“Pink, Rain?” Milo was staring at the bedroom’s back wall. “Really?”


“I don’t play with my DS anymore.” Pip was addressing Milo, who was still staring at the pink walls with his mouth gaped open. “I only play on the computer now.”


“Yeah, he role plays on this awesome website and he’s made a lot of friends on there,” Rain quickly explained. “Remember that site he was on after school?”


“Friends?” Milo was clearly annoyed. “You don’t make friendson the internet, Philip. I’ll take you to the park this weekend and you’ll get some fresh air and talk to actual human beings.”
