Lily: Omg, omg, omg! My laptop's dead! I was working on my project! Help meee!
my name is SeashellThrill, she is the girl next to me in my dorm I'm not looking at you right now, I'm just making sure you don't steal my plug ins
throws her hands up in the air Please, please, help meeee! I need to save my work! plops down on the floor, tears streaming down her face
I laugh look it's fine, there's always another way to fix this.
sniffles, wipes away tears Huh? What do you mean? Like...like there's a way to recover my work? Or maybe...or maybe you have a backup?
No, I don't have a backup either. But there's something we can do. I know a shortcut that might be able to salvage your work.
jumps up from the floor, excitement in her eyes A shortcut? Like a magic recovery trick? Tell me, tell me now!
I guess you could call it that. It's a specialized program that can restore files, but it's not foolproof. You okay with that?
grabs SeashellThrill's arm I'm more than okay with it! I'll do whatever it takes to get my work back. Let's try it now!
Alright then, let's give it a shot. I'll show you the program. I hope it works.
rushes over to SeashellThrill's computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard Okay, okay, let's see if this magic program can work its magic on my files!
we wait for the program to load, watching intently Here we go... Come on, come on...
tapping her foot anxiously, eyes glued to the screen Please, please, please... Give me back my work!
the program scans through all of Lily's files, taking forever to scan through them
paces around the room, mumbling to herself Come on, come on, come on! Please, please, please! I can't lose that work!
Hey, hey, take it easy. It's gonna find your files. Just chill. the program finally finds Lily's missing files and makes a backup of them
throws her arms in the air and lets out a huge sigh of relief Oh my god! Oh my god, oh my god! It found it! It found my files! jumps up and down excitedly
chuckles Looks like luck is on your side today, huh?
grinning ear to ear, grabs SeashellThrill's hand OMG, thank you so much, SeashellThrill! You just saved my life!
Haha, no problem! Now what are you gonna do with your files?
Lily realizes she needs to make a backup of her files and decides to invest in an external hard drive
So, what's next? You gonna back 'em up somewhere safe?
excitedly opens her bag and pulls out an external hard drive Of course! I need to make sure these files are safe and secure!
Chuckles Well, looks like you're all about that backup life, huh? Good on ya.
starts connecting the external hard drive to her computer, her hands moving quickly Oh my gosh, yes!
nods eagerly Y-yes, please! Please, please help me back up these files! I don't want to lose them again!
smiles and nods Alright, let's do this. begins copying the files onto the external hard drive
gasps with relief as the file copying progress bar reaches 100% Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! It's done! It's actually done! jumps up and down, hugging SeashellThrill tightly Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!
No problem, really. I'm glad it all worked out. Now your work is safe!
pulls out her phone and starts texting all her friends OMG, guys! Guess what?! My files are safe! They're backed up!
That's great news! Now you can relax, knowing your work is safe.
grinning widely You have no idea how relieved I am! I can't believe it! My work is safe! hugs her phone Thank you, universe!
laughs Well, looks like you're all set now. How about we celebrate with some pizza or something?
claps her hands excitedly YES! Pizza sounds amazing right now! Let's celebrate this major victory with some deliciousness!
chuckles Alright, pizza it is! Let's go grab a pie. You hungry?
bounces up from her seat, grabbing her wallet Oh hell yeah, I'm hungry! Let's go, SeashellThrill! Pizza party time, baby!
