Nick cracked up, "Yes exactly. The squirrels and birds are now safe." He twitched the remote again and bowled a strike. Really this Wii thing was far too much fun. He winced in sympathy, "Yeah, my dad would have tried to come over had it not been for the fact that he was away on business. He did leave the Wii with my mom though. She really wants to meet you too, from all of the hilarious stories that she hears." He had been a little worried about moving away for college and leaving his mom all by herself up there with his dad there, still trying to "make amends" and all. She'd been fine though, happy and healthy and thriving at her work. "Besides think of all the trouble we can get up to in DC, Dude. It's only about a twenty minute Metro ride." He made some space for Jake to join him on the couch.
