Room 514, Monday evening
Rodney was reading the latest article in Advanced Studies in Theoretical Physics (and happily denying that anything unusual had happened over the weekend), when he got an email from his little sister. He opened it without thinking there'd be anything out of the ordinary inside.

Mer,
You are seriously freaking me out. Even more than usual. Look, I don't know what's up with you, but I'm going to set some things straight:
I'm not pregnant, nor am I being forced to marry anyone! Heck, I don't even have a boyfriend!
Mom's never been in a coma!
I AM NOT PREGNANT!!! I'm 12 years old, you idiot!
What's with the 'Meredith/Rodney' thing? I'm glad you're finally embracing your first name and all, but that's a little weird. You need help, Mer. I swear, if you share your delusions with Mom and Dad, you're the one who will never be spoken to again.

Rodney slammed his laptop shut. Apparently, it had all really happened. He could at least take comfort in the fact that he hadn't gotten around to calling his parents, but, for the moment, he was just going to hyperventilate.
