It is Friday morning, 9AM and I am thinking that Slade should really be awake now. Key or Vincent will be calling him anytime soon and he better be ready – you know, you don’t want them to wait. And he did ask me to wake him up around 8:30. Oh just in case you didn’t know, today is THE day for games design student of MMU. It is the annual MMU games showcase. Students of the gamma (sophomore/junior) batch are going to present their game projects to judges from the games industry. Oh boy, I am excited – and I know Slade is to, so I HAVE to get him up.

“Get up Slade! Get up! I know you don’t have to present but then you promised Key that you are gonna join them help set up the showcase computers. And don’t forget you also promised Vincent that you are going to lend him Flub’s laptop.”

“Oh true! I totally forgot about it. I am still feeling so sleepy can’t you let me sleep till one of them call?”

“Okay lazy Slade. Don’t say I didn’t wake you up.”

So he returned to sleep and continued his dream. Half-and-hour later, the imminent phone call came. Slade got up and walked to the phone. It was Key. He said he is on his way to pick him up. Slade took a bath and just when he came out; Vincent called and said he was outside Slade’s house. Anyhow he passed the laptop to Vincent and wished him good luck for the presentation later this afternoon.

The games presentation is to start at 3PM. Slade is going there early (along with some other students from his batch) to help out in setting up the showcase demo. He didn’t have to wait long before Key came and all. On the way to Key’s car, Slade met Blanko and Keith. They looked prepared for the showcase. They (and the rest of the Gamma game design students) are to do some pre-presentation presentation. Well that is what me and Slade thought.

After greetings and all (with Key), Slade entered Key’s car and obviously I followed. Key thought Slade looked sleepy and lethargic. I advice Slade to wash up before he meets anybody later today – Slade, you must try to stay awake and energetic! “Just stay awake for today – you can sleep as long as you want to tonight”, I was reminding him that.

In any case, we departed Cyberia to campus to pick up two other guys – namely Ewa and Notapro.
