Still Tina's turn:

We're all sitting in our living room – me, Terri, Alan, and Mrs. Angela Weeks from the state's Child Protective Services.

"Mizz Weeks..."

"Please. Angela, Mister Addison."

"Then I'm Alan," he said. "I know where the state's heading with the 'home schooling' biz. Alabama's a lot more strict than other states, but this is what we were advised to do when Terri was evaluated by the school board in Tennessee."

I know that Alan deliberately left off the fact that we got the same advice from our local school board. Those people are our friends and we don't need to give the state any reason to question their activities.

He continued. "They practically BEGGED us not to put her in a regular classroom. I and Tina concur. There are many disrupting factors in a classroom. Terri might not be one of them, but she wouldn't be getting the room to progress as she's gotten with this bunch."

"This bunch..."

"Nine degreed engineers, two masters, two doctoral candidates, one BA in Business Administration, one PhD in sociology, and that's just the people that live in this complex," I continued. "In the extended family, we add a BS in Computer Science and a BA in Secondary Education, and several college students. Plus, Terri's extended network means if she wants another view on the subject, she has several contacts on campus. Terri, show Mizz Angela your other business card."

Terri whipped out her 'pTerridactyl' card.

Mizz Angela scrutinized it. "Cute. Where did you get the idea?"

"My OTHER aunt, Johanna Jackson. One day she called me 'Terridactyl'. I added the 'p' because the REAL pterodactyl has one, and I wanted one in my name in honor of one of my favorite authors, Sir Terri Pratchett. I've read many of his books."

The lady's eyes flicked between me and Alan. "How does the letter 'p' honor him?"

"He's got a great sense of humor, and one of the characters in one of his books was 'pTraci'. That's 'Traci' with a 'p' because he was writing about a society that was bits of ancient Egypt and Greece." Terri sighed. "I mourned when he died."

"So much for reading," Mizz Angela said. "I get the feeling that when I called, you folks started giggling."

"No, ma'am," I said. "We went through a lot of effort to make sure we were completely legal when we set this up. We're proud of our daughter and how we're attending to her education, even if 'attending' is like watching an eagle soar and saying that I 'attend' to his flight."

"We talked," Alan added. "We suppose that in the course of your work, you see a lot of stuff that doesn't meet decent standards."

"You have that right," she said. "That's why I originally said 'no' to coffee. Some of the places ... But then I looked around..." she looked at Terri. "Terri, tell me in your own words – Are you being properly schooled?"

"Oh, no, Mizz Angela," Terri said. "As soon as you leave, they put me back in the dark closet."

"Terri!" I squeaked.

"You're used to being able to learn, aren't you?" Angela asked Terri.

"Yes, ma'am. Music to mathematics. Science to social studies. I get it all from people who love it themselves."

She smiled. "You people aren't who the state is interested in."

"I didn't think so," Alan said. "But everybody's got a job to do."

I cut my eyes to Terri. She caught the look. Smiled angelically. She knows when to keep quiet.

"I am going to write this whole morning off as a bureaucratic wild goose chase. It has been a truly unexpected experience." She looked at Bot-bot. "robot..."

"Tell 'im 'hi'," Terri said. "Use his name." Bot-bot's head swiveled to Terri, because she was the only one talking.

"Hi, Bot-bot!" Mizz Angela said. Bot-bot immediately turned his eyes to her and did his happy beep.

"Tell him to come see you."

"Come see me, Bot-bot."

Bot-bot whirred over to position himself in front of her and sat.

She was enthralled.

"Tell him to do you a happy song."

"Bot-bot, do me a happy song."

Bot-bot did his 'okay' beep, then played a MIDI version of Clarinet Polka.

"Uh, Terri," Mizz Angela said, "Why do you make him sound like that? I mean, music technology is a lot better than that?"

"I know," Terri said. "But we wanted him to SOUND like what people think a robot's supposed to sound like. But we do some other things. "Bot-bot, go to your station."

Bot-bot swiveled his head, looked at Terri, and I swear his shoulders fell and he doesn't even HAVE shoulders. He did his little whine, and puttered away playing a dirge.

"My goodness."

"My 'pTerridactyl' card has a fold-out USB drive. Plug it in any time and you can see our videos."

"Oh, this 'un's getting passed around if you don't mind..."

"Go ahead. We have it on YouTube," Alan said.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, ma'am," I said. "You can even type 'bot-bot' into the search box. If you type in '3Sigma', you get Bot-bot plus all our musical excursions and a few other things."

Mizz Angela sighed. "You know, you people aren't the ones I'm supposed to be looking for."

"You said that," I said gently. "I understand what happens in some cases. Where I was living before I met Alan, there was a mom 'home-schooling' her kids because she couldn't make herself get out of bed in the morning to get them off to school. One of 'em was ten and I bet good money that he couldn't read a second grade book."

"I've seen some of those, even with the laws we have on the books. Parents have to care..."

"We care," Alan said.

"Yes, that's apparent. I see no need for Terri to go through the testing, assuming that the people at the School Board will corroborate your statements."

"Ask for Mizz Greybill. She's been working with us since we moved here. Wonderful woman. Cares about her job."

"I like Mizz Greybill," Terri injected. "She thinks we're crazy here. Dad, is it okay if I get Rachel an' Vicki now?"

"Sure," he said. He turned to Mizz Angela. "Do you want to see Terri's peers?"

"My entourage," Terri said. "I can get 'em over here. We're supposed to be doing some geometry today."

"There are MORE of these?" Mizz Angela asked.

"Oh, yeah," I said. "Wait."

Presently the door popped open and Vicki and Rachel came in. They saw Mizz Angela and stopped.

Terri handled the introductions. "Rachel is MY age. Vicki is a year and a half younger." And they bounded off to Terri's room.

"None of 'em would be any less than that top percentile in intelligence," Alan said. "We actually had them tested at the university."

"But they look so normal..."

"I knowwww," I said. "It's almost surreal. Terri and Rachel are bringing Vicki up to speed on some basic geometry. Until two months ago, Vicki was in regular public school in California."

"How's she fitting in here?"

"It's like releasing a captive tiger back into the wild," Alan said. "Terri takes it upon herself to lead Vicki in the right directions. She doesn't push, she just sort of guides ... would you like more coffee?"

"Oh, no, thank you, Alan," she said. "This was very good, though. I guess I'm finished here."

"Sorry we wasted your time."

"Oh, no, YOU didn't waste my time. You've made my week. This has been quite the experience."

"We're glad you feel like that," Alan said.

We saw her to the door. As she walked to the car, I turned into Alan's arms. "Well, I can stop worrying now."

"You were worried?"

"Baby, it's the government. I always worry. So many rules, you KNOW we're breaking some of 'em. All it takes is a bureaucrat with a burr under 'is saddle..."

"I know," he said. "I was worried a bit, too. Now I'm not. Until the next time."

'We'll survive that one, too, baby," I said. "We're doing the right things – the GOOD things. And we're completely legal."

"And look what fun Cindy and Dan got out of that."

I giggled. "But that was Tennessee. We KNOW about Tennessee, don't we?" With my arms around his neck, I whispered, "Baby, did I ever tell you that winning makes me very, VERY aroused?"

"The girls are in her bedroom, baby," he said. "But if you hold that thought..."

I slid one hand away from his neck, down his front and... "I'd rather hold this..."

"Good god, Christina," he sighed.

I kissed him lightly. "But you're right ... sadly, longingly right..."

"Dammit."

"Girls, we're going to the office," I announced loudly.

"Gotcha, Mom," I heard from Terri's room.

Naturally, our arrival at the office precipitated a flurry of questions, all to be happily answered.

Cindy was giggling. "Can you IMAGINE?!? There she is, fresh from her last visit to a trailer at the bad end of a dirt road, and she pulls in HERE?!? And interviews the pTerridactyl?"

"Terri let Bot-bot do most of the talking," Alan laughed.

"I don't think we were what she was looking for," I said. "And now that the drama's over..." I walked into the cubicle I shared with Cindy and turned my computer on. I'm an engineer. There's work to be done. The big monitor's got one of our client's drawings on it, and I'm making a materials list for MY discipline. It's the big boxes – circuit breakers, switches, transformers. Cindy behind me has the protection and control stuff. One would think that keeping the power flowing to make civilization possible would be more exciting.

One would be wrong. Still, I knew it was coming. I talked with Alan many a day about what his day actually looked like, and 'standing in the midst of chaos, orchestrating order from the ashes' didn't figure into it very often.

Next, I'm on the phone with the vendor of the circuit breakers. At a neat six figures apiece, I want some concessions. I already have us getting a good price, pointing out recent orders and the promise of future business, but along with that, I want them to toss in some free training as well. I get five slots. I know that two of them will go to our company and I'll give the client the option on the other three. Maybe I'll go to one of those training sessions, but probably not. Three days out of town, tack on travel at each end, I wouldn't do it without Alan. Or maybe I could get one of my sisters. Something to think about.

I'm thinking a salad for lunch. The Desais have a couple of good options, something with cucumbers and yogurt and indescribable spices that won't give my stomach a lot of trouble. Morning sickness is tough, especially when it lasts till noon. At least today's been a light day. I've just been queasy, not grabbing the toilet and puking. Ginger ale stays on my grocery list and there's a stash of the stuff in the office fridge.

And crackers. Saltines, to be specific. If I've had a really bad time, then a dab of peanut butter and a nut or two. And what Grandma used to call 'ta-tas'. Yeah, I know that 'ta-ta' is also a euphemism for tits, but Grandma wasn't about that, she was about me laying my sick head in her lap and patting me and making soothing sounds.

Alan's good for those. So's Terri, if you want to know, but I'm afraid that she's writing a chronicle of my pregnancy for future use. She asks questions. 'Is it triggered by certain smells? Does movement trigger it?' And cures. 'How does ginger ale figure into your symptoms?'

The crew-cut eighteen-year-old couldn't believe that only thirty minutes had passed of the eight hours he was required to put in at the Roosevelt Park Tri-County Help Center. For perhaps the hundredth time this month alone, he asked himself how he had gotten into this fix. A few years back, the local school board had passed a requirement that every student have a hundred hours of community service in order to graduate. While it did...

Comes a time when a story needs to be halted. I, as a hack writer, have enjoyed the three stories, Cindy, Nikki, and Christina, that led to the formation of the group that became our Community. During the course of the story, we dragged in the characters from Melodic Redemption. Now I'm pulling in Kimberly 2.0. This isn't the end of the community. This is just the end of the first part of Community. Trust me, the story will go on as Community Too. Look for it. And remember Community.

Nanny’s house was a small, two bedrooms, wooden framed one near a cotton mill. She and my great-grandfather had worked at the mill. Back in those days, the companies felt it was best to have workers that lived near the mills. They built what was called mill villages, dozens and hundreds of basic houses near their plants. Then they sold them to the workers, taking mortgage payments out of their paycheck each week. The South is dotted with the remnants of these kinder, gentler days. By the time...

Dan 1.0 asked. "Yeah. Am I supposed to be all weepy or something?" He shook his head. "Not like you had any choices." "You...

Dan Granger's turn: I have to laugh. I tried very hard NOT to burn bridges when I left my old job. It paid off. Steve called. "Hey, Steve, what's up?" "You ready to come back?" "Not funny, Steve." "Seriously. One of our clients specifically asked if we'd subcontract you so you can come in and do some stuff for him." "What and when?" Steve gave me the run-down. I wasn't too surprised. Big facility. I'd done a similar scope for part of it prior to moving to Alabama. Now...

The World According to Susan: I am officially ready for a break. It's almost Christmas. I almost hide when I see my math professor. That's okay, though. He almost hides when he sees Cindy. Jason's right there with me, though. He's tested out of some classes and he's gotten transferred credits for a lot of things he took for his technology degree and if he does a summer semester next summer, he just MIGHT squeeze his way onto stage with the rest of us. I hoping. He deserves it. We work...

Cindy's Turn: I finished, well, actually WE finished a Skype session with Kara. This time it was me and Nikki and Kara. I turned to Nikki. "She's a sister, you know. Should be part of the Community," Nikki said. I'm glad Nikki said it first. I don't want everybody to think I'm running this show. I'm certainly not malicious or anything, but everybody contributes in this effort. "How do we make it happen?" I asked. "She's music, not engineering." "We had Mizz Patel handling...

Bill Carmody's turn: Interesting turn of events, I think. Two years ago I had Dan Richards on my power plant project. I knew him and Alan Addison from a previous power plant project where we were engineers, all three of us, on the same project. They're technically beyond reproach. Now I'm on THEIR payroll. 'Their' is, of course, 3Sigma Engineering. We're redoing several rural substations in Georgia. I ride herd on contractors, mainly, and make sure that they adhere to plans, and I...

Bill Hardesty’s turn: I’ve just become Bill 3.0. Cindy officially conferred the status upon me. “Bill 1.0’s my adopted dad. Bill 2.0’s Haley’s husband in Louisiana. Since you’re part of this now, you shall be Bill 3.0.” Which is fine, except to Herself, the Vickster, I’m ‘Billy’. “Cindy said you were ‘Billy’ when she first met you.” “I was. I like to think that I’m mature enough to be ‘Bill’ now.” Sparkly eyes. “Not ‘William’?” “Bill.” Snicker. “Billy.” That snicker is one reason I’m...

It is not yet Saturday.” “Mom, your GRAD-daughter...” ““GRAND daughter,” Mom corrected. “My grand-daughter the millionaire...” “Your grand-daughter the research scientist...” “What has become of her now?” “She’s holding a letter in her hands that says she’s graduated college with a degree in engineering.” “My...

I’m standing on a pedestal, a seamstress, a REAL seamstress, is taking measurements for my wedding dress. “Mom, stop crying, for heaven’s sake...” “Every time I think about you getting married,” Mom sobbed. “It’s the expected progression in life. Grow up, leave home, get married...” “Finish college is in there somewhere,” Vicki said. She’s my co-conspirator. We’re getting married the same day. She’s tagged my little brother, a big surprise, since...

Susan's turn: I'm waiting for the aliens to show up. Here's how I figure it will break down. Nikki and Cindy will work with Terri and Rachel on the Star Wars squirrel denial system. They'll actually GET that 95 gigahertz transmitter, and in the process of modulating its output so that it only severely annoys squirrels instead of cooking them on the spot out there in the yard, they'll transmit a signal into space where it will be picked up by an alien spacecraft. The aliens will come...

Bill Carmody’s turn: Yesterday’s wedding was a delight, especially watching my NEW daughter (!) and Cindy, my original daughter, looking and acting very much like twins. Can’t help but grin, just thinking about it. Both of ‘em have a little fire in their eyes, and when they’re together, you can nearly SEE the sparks flying between them. Couldn’t have asked for a more unlikely development, right up to matching green dresses they bought together for the wedding. And my phone buzzes --...

Tina's turn: "What's so funny?" my husband asked. "Stoney and Jo are coming back and they're still flyin' that Pitts." "Did they buy it?" "She says 'no', but two trips, you gotta wonder." I giggled. I know the real reason. A combination of scheduling conflicts and weather had kept us from holding the weekend airport social and landing contest. The social, however, now had a few outside participants. I mean, it was bound to happen. We don't exist in a vacuum. On any given...

Cindy’s turn: 0700 for a wake-up. The alarm caught me when it went off. Sometimes I’m drifting between sleep and awake, but not this morning. I finally got to sleep, found out that Dana’s a kicker, so I kicked back. When the alarm went off, I let it roll for a bit, listening to the whines and other sounds of the gang waking up. I killed it, turned to get out of bed, but was a bit slow. I saw a T-shirted Rachel flash by muttering “bathroom...” Well, at least with two rooms we can split the...

I have a stepdaughter who's ten years younger than me, who is probably past me in some ways, academically speaking. I know she does things with technology that all of us in the community wonder about. What went on in her head that caused her to take a mobile squirrel repeller platform and convert it into a pet? Yeah, I know,...

Tim's turn: I'd be a janitor for 3Sigma after seeing how Vicki and Kim fit in here. I'm THAT happy. That whole 'divorced dad' thing is horrible. I mean, you talk with your daughter on the phone once or twice a week, trying to stay up with what's going on in her life, and then you get a week or so for Thanksgiving or Christmas and you get a few weeks in the summer. A week was BAD. I don't know little girls. Until this past year, I didn't have my own place, so we cribbed up at Mom and...

Well, sometimes we add Stoney and Johanna, sometimes Jason and Susan are off visiting one set of impending grandparents or the other. This particular weekend, though, we're all together. Me and Bill, we have our own swing there. So we laugh and sing and dance and then there's a break and my Bill stands...

Terri's turn: I really DO love my mom. I'm speaking of my natural mom, the person who carried me for nine months, then gave birth to me. I did not and still do not understand why she left Dad for Mister Martin. I know both men and there's no comparison. Tina tells me that there are things that go on in people's hearts and heads that are not easily defined. Defined. If you define 'step-mom', it means the woman who marries your dad. That's Tina. Dictionary definitions are so...

Susan 'n' Jason have little JW – Jason Wallace, named after him and his dad. Alan and Tina have Katherine Genevieve – after nobody in particular, but Terri is forbidden to call her Kathygen. Johanna and Stoney have Randall Stonewall, and Mister Bill and Mizz Donna have Cindy's half-sister Elise Ann, a whole two days old. I'm likely to be the next. My...

Still Nikki’s turn: I squeezed Dan’s fingers. “A bit of bad luck, this,” I said. “Baby, be so kind as to hand me my iPhone. I need to get the news out.” Dana’s turn: We’re a pretty connected group here. I mean, everybody’s always texting and posting updates during the day, so when I got one from Nikki, I knew where she was supposed to be – on campus with the munchkins. I thought I’d see another ‘you won’t believe what Terri (or Rachel or Vicki) just did’ post. It wasn’t. I’m at the...

Empty apartment except for me and Rachel and the cat, and the cat gets petted while I’m sitting next to Rachel and the cat leaves and Rachel turns to me. I like kissing her. I like holding her. We talk about everything. Tara says we’re too young to have a past, but I’ve lived through a car wreck and the loss of...

Good, it’s you I wanted to talk to.” “Hello Mizz Patel. What’s going on today?” “Would you mind if I drive out to your office? I’d like to talk about something in private.” I noted that she didn’t have her normal happy lilt. “Of course it’s okay. You’re always welcome here.” This was unusual for her though, so I added,...

However, a certain pre-teen Jewish princess seems to have gained my little brother’s eye. I think that if we HADN’T decided to move, he might’ve hitched a ride back here. The apartment. Cindy and her Dan used to live here. It belongs to the corporation. They told me I could paint it any color I wanted, but honestly,...

Cindy’s done her presentation at NASA, and to my knowledge, they haven’t yet recruited her for a space mission. Nikki’s been, well, Nikki, and she’s a superstar in her own right, maybe a little more sane than Cindy, but those two are a binary system, both bright in a way I never witnessed until I found her sitting across the table from me and Ed one night at dinner.

Then the floodgates opened. “What was I supposed to do, Mizz Donna?” I sobbed. Poor Dan. He’s standing behind me, wanting to do SOMETHING. “Darlin’,” she said comfortingly, “You did the right thing. World’s full of assholes. I used to be one, so I know...” I heaved a wordless sob. Mizz Donna was hugging me, Dan’s hand was touching my...

That’s what I told Dear Old Dad when I broke the news to him. “Dad,” I said, “I have a wonderful, successful husband and it is only right that we present you with grandchildren.” I heard a definite sigh over the phone. My dad. I’m trying really hard to conjure (one of Johanna’s words) a vision of business-suited Dad bouncing a grandbaby on his knee. “You make me regret that I didn’t make myself a bigger part of your life, Kara...

When we landed, though, we had the entire community standing there waiting on the arrival. It’s a big deal. Cindy exited first. Me?
