“I have a surprise for you today, Philip,” spoke Lexi at the breakfast table set up between their two bedrooms on the upper level of her Nawt Vaya house. “I think you’ll like it.”

“Holland?”
“Yeah, you said you missed Amsterdam. So: here we are (!).”
“I said I *missed* Amsterdam. As in bypassed it, or at least skirted it. I think.”
“Well… now you have a kind of second chance. A Second Lyfe second chance. We’ll start at the northwest corner here and make our way across. Just like old times.”
“Hmmm.”
“You… don’t like it?”
Yeah. Why not, he thinks. And they head toward the center of the mocked up, 2 sim city where Lexi has another bright idea.
“Let’s get bikes, Philip (!). Like that guy over there.”

Riiing riiing. “Out of our way! LOSERS.”
