Ok. Here we go again. Peter finally got a new phone after, like, years. Okay, maybe not YEARS, but it was still a while ago (if 2 weeks counts as a while ago).

He just.. he didn't know what to say.

" "Hey, Sydney, it's been a while, how's Petey?" No, no, that's stupid. "Hey... long time no see?" No, we're talking on a phone."

Gosh, was he a loser. Not only did he leave his responsibilities, he doesn't even know how to talk to another person.

But it's okay. He can do this.

Picking up his new, green dial phone (it was the cheapest one), Peter looked at the paper with Sydney's number and typed it in carefully.

"Okay, here goes nothin'.." he whispered to himself, sitting down at his desk that was somehow even more messy than 2 weeks ago.

"Hello?"

Silence.

"Hello??"

Well, here goes nothing.

"Is.. is this Sydney [ ]?"

"..."

"..yes..?"

Static, and then silence.

"Hello? Hello!? Sydney!???" Peter yelled, wondering if something happened, when-

He noticed the phone cord.

It had been cut.

Again.

How.. how could his happen!? Again!??" This couldn't be a coincidence. Something did this. SOMEONE did this.

But who..?

Well, it was a mystery.

Guess we'll never know.
