DECEMBER 4: INSTANT MESSAGE ARCHIVES FOR 'SKATER13'

SKATER13: so how cold is it where you are?

SONGBIRD: Right now? About 83 degrees. But yesterday it was 90 degrees.

SKATER13: damn you're lucky.

SONGBIRD: I don't know. I mean I really wish I could one day have a nice white Christmas… maybe in NYC

'More like gray and cloudy rather than white' Danny thought to himself as he read her last message.

SKATER13: im sure you will

SONGBIRD: I meant while I'm young

SKATER13:…hmmm. Can't help you there

SONGBIRD: Ha ha. Thanks. So what are you doing for the holidays? Any special plans?

SKATER13: I don't know. Probably go to a stupid family party upstate.

SONGBIRD: What's wrong with that? I love being with family.

SKATER13: well my family treats me like a kid still… gets annoying.

SONGBIRD: it may be annoying but they are still your family

SKATER13: and they would all be so much more interesting if they weren't so … boring

SONGBIRD: Haha!

SKATER13: what about you?

SONGBIRD: Can't really say. My dad is very sick so me and my mother just can't go off and do stuff without him.

'Like a certain trip to Puerto Rico that was suppose to happen' Ana thought to herself

SKATER13: there is no way you can bring him along?

SONGBIRD: He has to be on careful watch. Its not like we can just pick him up and drag him along with us.

SKATER13: well you guys still have about 3 weeks till the 25th. I'm sure something good will happen.

SONGBIRD: I hope so.
