Megabyte strolled through the hotel lobby trying to eat a Big Mac with one hand, while holding a container of drinks and a large sack of food in the other. Not for the first time he wished he was telekinetic so as to not have to struggle like this. The delicate balance of paper cups and the ill-packed paper sack, the bottom drenched in grease, settled in the crook of his arm threatened to topple over at any second. To make things worse, his Big Mac was dripping special sauce, lettuce, and cheese all over his hand. He was not prepared for surprises, like Kevin appearing out of thin air into the middle of the lobby. Usually people flashing in and out of existence didn't surprise him, but with his concentration on the task of not dropping the food, Megabyte missed the tell-tale tingle.

The food started to upset. Only quick reflexes saved it, but at the expense of his partially eaten burger. The Big Mac splattered on the hideous hotel carpet, the special sauce blending right in. Megabyte followed the burger's descent with his eyes, unable to do anything to stop it. "Kevin!"

"Megabyte?" Kevin glanced around the lobby, down at the burger, then up to his friend. "You're here. I didn't think you were here. Why weren't you answering calls?"
