I was at Mikey's Locker and we were talking about a new movie that coming out this weekend when Zack walked over to us.
Hey, Mikey, how are you doing? How was your weekend? Can I borrow $300? Zack asked Mikey.
Fine, great, and not a chance. Mikey response.
Mikey, do you still have those savings bonds?
Okay, Zack, what gives? Mikey asked
It was all my father's fault. He told me not to fool around with his new video camera. Zack said
-What happened? I asked.
I fooled around with it. Zack told us.
You see, I was on my roof taking pictures of the Zeffirelli twins doing aerobics in their backyard. Zack said.
Zach, they live two blocks from your house. Mikey told him.
It's amazing what they've done with zoom lenses. Zack said in a dreamily daze.
Perv. I think to myself.
I started to slip. It was either me or the camera. Zack continued.
I think you made the wrong choice. I said.
Come on! Zack said. And we walked to class

We got to home room.
Okay. Miss Bliss said to us as we enter the room. And sat down.
Can anybody tell me about the Great Depression? Miss Bliss asked.
That's what happens when your mother cuts off your phone privileges. Lisa response.
Miss Bliss laughed and said.
Well I was referring to the crash of 1929. Miss Bliss told her.
I knew that. Lisa lied.
Before we're completely bummed out, can we check your brokerage account and see how our stock's doing? Nikki asked.
Sure. Mikey, fire up the computer. Miss Bliss asked him.
Why bother? Elliot Airlines hash' budged since Elliot died. Mikey said getting up and walking to the computer.
Let's get our 50 bucks back before they bury his plane too. Zack said.
I knew we should have invested in stealth bombers. There is big money in invisibility. Screech said.
Now, if you'd all read this morning's newspaper as you were supposed to, you would've read some very exciting news. Miss Bliss said.
Purple is the new fall color. Lisa asked and everyone laughed.
I'm referring to the merger. Miss Bliss said.
Trans Universal Air has swallowed up
Your airline. Miss Bliss said.
Hey, guys, look at this. Trans Universal Air has gone up three bucks a share. Mikey said to us.
Can someone tell me how much we've made? Miss Bliss asked.
That's $150. We're rich! I said.
Get real. We're comfortable but not rich. Lisa said to me.
One hundred and fifty dollars overnight.
This could have possibilities. Zack said.
