You look like Batman with that cape.” She’d seen Phoebe wearing it like that before as they shared a dorm room but only now was it hitting her just how much she looked like the caped crusader.

“Uh-hu. Yeah, I mean, he does like to live his life which is pretty cool. He does what he wants. I like that about him too.” Sloane looked down at the tape and the video player for a moment, confused as to why Phoebe might think she didn’t know what she was doing. “No. I know what I’m doing. I was just waiting because I didn’t know if like, you needed to help or something to get any of the credit or marks or whatever. I figured maybe you should do it because I got the tape.” Sloane had no idea how all of this worked so she simply aired on the side of caution, something she didn’t usually do. “You just slide the tape into the player and hit the play button. It’s not too hard, I think. I think I saw somewhere that these things need to be rewound so I’m assuming it already has been…” whatever that meant.


Phoebe responded to Sloane’s smile with a grin of her own. ”I love batman! Because of bats!” Phoebe was a fruit bat for Halloween, and she called her bed the Bat Cave. She felt like she’d make a good batman! She flapped her ‘cape’ for dramatic effect. “I am… um… I am… invent-ious!” That’s what Batman always said. She was pretty confident.

”I wish I was more like Shrek,” Phoebe said wistfully. He was so brave, like Sloane. Phoebe was a scaredy-bat and she was worried that she wasn’t growing out of it fast enough. Phoebe was SO pleased that Sloane let her put in the VHS tape, but she tried not to be smug. She was very excited to try out the muggle technology, though she knew Sloane could do it. She carefully (trying her best to not be clumsy) took the tape from her friend. ”I think it’s been rewound too.” But she checked just to make sure. Then she VERY CAREFULLY put the tape in the VHS player and pressed the button. ”Should we sit down? Is it time for Shrek now?” She looked at the screen to see if the movie was working.
