[The Ship has a Library, Squeeing May Commence!] -- [Open to All]

It was the next day after a long, somewhat confusing day meeting his brother and father when Jimmy discovered the absolute best thing about the ship. The stars were really neat, the computers were cool, the way everyone rushed about (he wanted to see the engines with Momma still!) but the absolute best thing of all?

The ship had a LIBRARY!

Jimmy stood in absolute and utter awe as he looked at PADDs, consoles, even a few very old real books. He loved real books most of all, the weight and feel in his hands and lap and turning the pages. He had only a few at home, the rest on PADDs sent by Momma from space.

Avoiding the stranger in the room wasn't too hard - there was only one he didn't recognize and no one else. Jimmy found his way to a console and worked himself up into the chair, brows furrowing as he stared at the screen. If Lenny could work this, so could he!

But how did he find out what the library had in it? Would there even be books he could read? He still needed help with big words, but was very proud of how good he could read. Maybe he could read adult books - they would have to have some neat ones here!

His fingers gently touched the console screen and he started to work out what he could. Now... if only he could figure this out...

[Discovery] -- [Lenny and Jimmy]

Jimmy was curled up on the bed, watching Lenny over top of his book in his hand. He laughed, eyes bright, and clutched tighter at the PADD. He was laying on his stomach with Lenny against the bed, looking over his shoulder. He had Hamlet beside him, as they hadn't been able to replicate Leo. Instead, when Lenny was busy, Jimmy buried himself in his books.

Now Lenny was showing him all the neat things he had learned to do with the PADD. Jimmy, evidently, was just a little too young for things like padds and communicators. Lenny was eight. That was almost ten! Ten was old!
