It was really a good thing radio was short, because after getting doused with ice water and cleaning up, Kitty had to run back home and change clothes before her first period class. And if she was still pulling her wet hair back in a ponytail as she started class, well, shut up, she was rushed. At least she was awake now!

Anyway, the class was back in a Danger Shopped computer lab, and everyone had their laptops back. The differences were that this week there a) were phones on the desks, and b) there was a screen where Kitty could use her own computer and they could see what she was doing at every step.

"I promise every week won't be about computers, but they're kind of important in this day and age, and we're going to go a little bit deeper there today," she said. "I'm going to walk you through a couple basic things, so you should be able to walk out of here and move on from there. And I want you to know that if at any point in this class, you don't understand something, you should definitely speak up. Everyone's in the same boat here, so never feel bad about asking questions. Also if anyone ever wants extra help with something, I'll be having office hours on Fridays, so you can always come talk to me one on one. Okay? So, let's get started."

"First up is Email. If you've already done this, uh, log in and send an email to someone and say it's for class. For the rest of you, it's a way to send messages to other people without actually talking to them. You need an email address to sign up for a lot of things online, or to order things, so it's good to have it. You've all got Gmail on your computers, so the first step is going to be coming up with an email address. It can be your name, or just a phrase you want to go by. So here, if I want to make my own email..." Kitty said, demonstrating by typing her name into the box, "you just do that. Only one person can have an email address, if it says the name you want is taken, you can add a number, or try something new."

Once they'd all done that, she went on, "Next is your password. That's a series of numbers or letters, or a word that you'll remember. You input that so only you can get into your account. Never ever give anyone your password. If someone asks for it, they're trying to access your account and that's usually bad. I've also put some scratch paper next to you, so write down both your email and password. Don't show it to anyone, and don't lose it. But you'll have it in case you want to log on later and you forget it."

How's it going, guys?

Nathan, amazingly, had heard of email before. He didn't have one but apparently that was going to change right now.

He stared at the Gmail screen for a bit, ignoring the intense buzzing in his head what with all the tech around him, and ended up going with:

nedge@gmail

It seemed to work okay and the password was a quick process too and then he had an email account. Something he didn't think he'd ever have or want.

Jalian shrugged and used jalian@gmail, then just made her password "password".

...Edward was still not doing too well, what with the letters and all. Edward only hoped he could pretend his way through this class so he could ask Rapunzel to finally give him those lessons later.

He thought he'd be safest just typing some of the sequences of letters he spotted elsewhere on the screen.

The resulting email was not very impressive, but at least it existed.

Alex knew about email but had not had the need to set up an account before, but she found this relatively straight forward.

She ended up going quite basic for her email and had managed to get alexmack@gmail.com
