It was a Thursday, December 26, 2019, at six o'clock in the afternoon.
Littletato was walking back home after finishing her day of work.
She was carrying some shopping bags she had bought at the neighborhood supermarket called "Safeway".
(The Safeway supermarket is a supermarket that truly exists in San Francisco, California, in the United States.)
In the girl's bags, there were vegetables, greens, fruits, milk, eggs, and two packages of chocolate-flavored stuffed cookies.
Along the way, Littletato ran into a friend that she and Júlia had made during the months they have been living together in San Francisco.
They met when Littletato and Júlia were having a picnic in a park on a Sunday.
His friend was a boy named Iam, he was eighteen years old in 2019, and was born on July 16, 2001.
Iam was straight, and had black hair, dark brown eyes, and white skin.
He was born in San Francisco, and worked as a cashier at a local grocery store.
"Hi Iam, good to see you!" Littletato said, smiling at him.
Littletato noticed that Iam was also holding shopping bags in his hands.
"It's good to see you too, Tato!" he replied while smiling.
"Going shopping too?" Iam asked, looking at the bags in Littletato's hands, laughing lightly.
"Haha, yes, the vegetables were ending up at home, and the greens too, so I went to the the market after work.
And I also bought the chocolate-stuffed cookies that Júlia loves, and me too, hehe," Littletato replied, laughing lightly.
"Ah, I understand, back at home too, I live alone, but my sister is in town, she came to visit me yesterday and will stay until tomorrow.
So I'm gonna cook for her tonight and show off my culinary skills, hehe.
And I know how that is, haha, I also bought something similar today," Iam said.
"It's great that your sister came to visit you," Littletato said smiling.
"You must be good at cooking, I want to taste your culinary sometime, hehe.
What did you buy?" Littletato asked, curious.
"I bought my sister's favorite chocolates and chocolates for myself too," Iam replied, smiling.
"Ah, they must be delicious.
So... I'm going now, otherwise it'll be too late for dinner, Júlia must already be hungry at home.
Tell your sister that I still want to meet her, hehe," Littletato said, also smiling.
"I also gotta go, my sister must be starving back at home, haha.
Alright, I'll tell her and we'll set a date.
See you later Tato!" Iam said.
"See you later Iam!" Littletato replied.
Then the two started walking towards their respective houses.

Littletato arrived home with the groceries, she told Júlia about the talk she had with Iam on the way back home.
Júlia also talked with Iam occasionally through WhatsApp and Facebook.
Her and Littletato put the groceries away in the kitchen cabinets and the fridge.
Then the two girls started preparing dinner.
Littletato made rice seasoned with salt, garlic, onions, and chopped carrots.
She also cooked beans well seasoned with salt, garlic, onions, black pepper, and powdered bay leaf.
The smell of the rice and beans was wonderful.
Júlia made two fried scrambled eggs with salt, parsley, oregano, and chopped mozzarella cheese.
The girl also made boiled potatoes and carrots with salt, onions, oregano, and parsley, and an orange juice with ice cubes.



Then they prepared the table for eating, placing all the pots with the food, the plates, cutlery, and glasses.
Littletato and Júlia began to eat the delicious dinner they had prepared together, while chatting.
"The food is very tasty today honey, the scrambled eggs you made are delicious!
And the boiled potatoes and carrots too," Littletato said, smiling.
"Thank you honey, it is truly very delicious, the beans you made were wonderful!" Júlia replied, smiling too.
"You're welcome, and thank you love," Littletato said, who continued eating.
"How was work today honey?" Júlia asked, curious.
"Ah, today was nice, I met my new coworker, her desk is next to mine.
Her name is Mia, and she started working at the company yesterday.
I helped her with a problem in the code she was programming, which was giving an error.
We kept trying to find the error for almost an hour...
Until we discovered that it was a semicolon that wasn't placed, haha," Littletato explained, laughing lightly.
Mia was twenty years old in 2019, and was born on November 19, 1999.
She was straight, and had black hair, dark brown eyes, and white skin.
"I think we were kind of stressed with work..." Littletato said, with a tired look, downcast.
"Ah, I understand love, how nice that you met your new coworker today," Júlia said, smiling lightly.
"I'm sorry that you were stressed at work...
It must be tiring right?" Júlia asked, with a look of concern.
"Yes, it's mentally exhausting honey... So much to think about, the code, the deadline, and everything else..." Littletato replied, with a sad look.
"I think I just need a good night's sleep," Littletato said, with a slight smile.
"Alright love, let's sleep tightly together after dinner, maybe that will help, hehe," Júlia said, smiling.
"It does help, honey, thank you," Littletato replied, smiling back.
Then Littletato and Júlia finished eating, they organized the dishes in the sink to be washed tomorrow, and left the plates soaking in water.
The girls went to watch an episode of their favorite series on Netflix, the series called "The Walking Dead", to rest their bellies.
Netflix is a website and mobile and TV app where you can watch anime, cartoons, series, and movies online using a paid plan.
"The Walking Dead" is a north American post-apocalyptic drama television series developed by Frank Darabont.
It is based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.
The series premiered on October 31, 2010.
"The Walking Dead" tells the story of a small group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world filled with the undead.
The series depicts the arduous journey of the group led by Rick Grimes, in search of supplies and safe havens.
In addition, the survivors have to deal with moral dilemmas, confused feelings, and everyday challenges in a hostile world practically dominated by the undead, the zombies.
After they finished watching the episode of the series, Littletato and Júlia turned off the TV.
They went to the bedroom and lay down together, sleeping covered by the blanket in the cold night.

On the next day, it was a Friday, December 27, 2019.
Littletato had woken up, but Júlia was still sleeping.
The girl looked at the digital clock on the wall and saw that it was seven in the morning.
Littletato got up from the bed and stretched.
Then she walked to the bathroom and took care of her morning needs.
After that, she walked to the kitchen and started making breakfast for herself and Júlia.
The girl took two very pretty porcelain mugs from the cabinet.
She put milk, chocolate powder, and sugar in both, mixing the ingredients with a spoon.
Then she took two white porcelain plates in petal shape and placed two slices of whole wheat bread on each.
Littletato took a knife and a tub of butter from the fridge, spreading butter on the slices of bread on each plate.
After that, the girl took the bowl of ricotta cheese from the fridge and placed a slice of cheese on each sandwich.
Then the girl fried two scrambled eggs in a frying pan with olive oil.
They were as well-seasoned and delicious as the ones from yesterday night's dinner.
Littletato placed a scrambled egg in each sandwich, closing them both.

The girl went back to the bedroom, waking Júlia with a kiss and caressing her.
"Good morning, my love," Littletato said to Júlia, smiling.
"Good morning, honey," Júlia said, returning the kiss, and then stretching.
Júlia walked to the bathroom and took care of her morning needs.
After that, she and Littletato went to the kitchen and started having their breakfast.
"Thank you for making breakfast for me honey, it's very tasty!" Júlia said, smiling.
"You're welcome love, I love to spoil you, hihi," Littletato replied, smiling back.
"You still have some time before you go to work, right honey?" Júlia asked.
"Yes, why my dear?" Littletato asked.
"It's because I miss you when you go to work my love..." Júlia replied, with a sad look, pouting.
"Oh my dear..." Littletato said, smiling at Júlia's cuteness.
Then Littletato sat down next to Júlia, hugging her tightly, and giving her a kiss on the lips.
"It's okay my dear, when I get back from work, I'll be all yours, okay?" Littletato asked, smiling.
"Okay love, hehe, I love you my little potato," Júlia replied, smiling, returning the kiss.
"I love you too my little potato," Littletato replied, also smiling.
Then Littletato and Júlia continued eating their sandwiches and drinking their hot chocolate.
The hot, sweet chocolate milks warmed the girls on the cold morning.
While the well-seasoned sandwiches brought joy and energy to start the day.
The scene of the morning sun streaming through the kitchen window, with steam rising from the mugs of hot chocolate, was extremely cozy and poetic.

The two girls finished eating the delicious breakfast.
Júlia washed the dishes they had used and the dishes from yesterday's dinner, and Littletato helped her by drying and putting away the dishes.
Littletato and Júlia's house had an empty room that they used as a computer room.
In this room, were Littletato's gaming computer and Júlia's gaming laptop.
Littletato bought both using some of the money Júlia had saved in the bank.
In the room there were two very comfortable gaming chairs with headrests.
And two very pretty laminated wood desks, one against the other.
Both desks had drawers for storing computer peripherals, such as mice, keyboards, and headphones.
On Littletato's desk, there were the computer monitor, the speakers, the wireless headset, and its stand.
There was also a large keyboard drawer, where the keyboard and mouse were kept, and a large mouse pad was underneath both.
Littletato's computer had RGB lights in various parts, including the keyboard, mouse, headset, speakers, and computer fans.
Littletato had chosen the color hot pink for the RGB lights of her computer and peripherals.
Her wireless headset was also pink, Littletato thought that color looked very pretty on her electronics.
Littletato loved playing games on her computer, on the gaming platform called "Steam".
Steam is a platform for distributing free and paid games, where you can buy and download games to your computer.
The girl liked to play the games "Counter-Strike 1.6", "Counter-Strike: Source", and the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)", especially in the Warzone mode, which is a type of Battle royale.
All three of these are FPS games, "First Person Shooter" in English.
Júlia's laptop was a gaming one and pink too, she liked it very much, it also had a gaming mouse.
She used it to chat with her friends on social media, in addition to her phone.
Also used it to make drawings in the digital drawing program called "Paint Tool SAI".
And also to play games on Steam with Littletato, and also with her friends.
Júlia also had a wireless headset that was just as good as Littletato's, with a stand as well.
Littletato's computer and Júlia's laptop were very powerful, some of the best of 2019.

Júlia walked to the bedroom and put on a red sweatshirt, it was little chilly in the morning.
Littletato turned up the temperature of the air conditioner a bit for the house to be warmer.
She went to the computer room with Júlia and they both sat down in their respective gaming chairs.
Littletato turned on her computer, opened Steam, and left some games updating in the background.
Then she opened the "Mozilla Firefox" browser, opened some social networks, and started talking with her friends.
She also put an electronic song to play on the website called "SoundCloud", listening to it on her headset-style headphones.
Júlia turned on her laptop, waited for it to boot up, and did almost the same things as Littletato.
She chatted a bit with her friends on Facebook, including Iam.
Facebook is a social network where you can talk to many people and you can have a social profile and make posts on it.
Many people use it only to talk with friends and family.
After sometime talking with her friends, Júlia closed the browser.
She opened the game called "Counter-Strike 1.6" on Steam to play.
It was a First-Person Shooter (FPS) game where you needed to complete an objective.
There were two teams, the Terrorists, and the Counter-Terrorists.
The terrorists had to plant a bomb, and the counter-terrorists had to defuse it.
Both teams could also win by eliminating the entire enemy team.
It was an online multiplayer game where you could play with other players from all over the world.
Júlia started playing the game, joining a server and playing on the terrorists' team.
Littletato was on Facebook talking with her friends.
Even though these friends were just digital friends, she was happy to have them.
Her friends shared news and memes in timeline posts, and Littletato was looking at some of them.
A news story caught her attention: an article highlighting the precarious situation of the homeless in New York.
Littletato was saddened to read those words, seeing the people in homeless situation struggling against hunger and lack of shelter, each with their own stories and challenges.
She wished that the living conditions of the homeless improved and that the government did something to help as well.

Then Littletato closed the article and started scrolling through her Facebook timeline again.
Her friend Iam had sent her a message on Messenger, which was the messaging and chat section of Facebook.
She clicked on her conversation with Iam to read the message.
"Hi Tato, how are you?" Iam asked in the message.
"Hi, I'm good, and you Iam?
Up so early? xD," Littletato replied.
"Yeah xD, I'm playing a little before going to work
How are things going there with you and Júlia?" Iam asked, curious.
"They're going very well, I work, Júlia takes care of the house and cooks, and I also help her with the house things
And we don't pay rent, I managed to save some money, made investments, and bought the house from the owner
And with you, how are things going over there Iam?" Littletato asked.
"That's good, I'm happy for you, it seems to be a busy but fun routine xD
And it's good that you managed to buy the house!
I'm also working and saving money in the bank to buy one
Things are going well for me, thanks for asking xD," Iam replied.
"Thanks, and how interesting lol
Good luck saving money Iam!" said Littletato with a smiley emoji.
"Thank you Tato, good luck at work lol
I wish you and Júlia lots of happiness 😊
You two are such a cute couple xD," Iam said.
"You're welcome, and thank you Iam 😊
I'm happy you think that, hehe, and Júlia also is
And you, do you have a girlfriend?" Littletato asked, curious.
"I don't have, I'm single, hehe, I'm more focused on work actually
And on finishing my college," Iam replied.

"Ah, how interesting, what course are you taking?" Littletato asked.
"I'm studying mechanic engineering, it's very fun actually xD," Iam replied.
"That's good, haha, good luck!
How was yesterday's dinner with your sister? xD," Littletato asked.
"Thanks lol
Ah, it was fun, she liked my food a lot xD
And we talked a lot too, caught up on everything, and reminisced good times from our childhood
We played various games on my Xbox One and watched a series on Netflix
I made a chocolate cake for us to eat together, and it turned out delicious!
She left in her car a few minutes ago, back to the city she lives
I gave some of the dinner and a few pieces of cake for her to take home xD
It was very good to see my sister again, she is very fun lol," Iam replied.
"Ah, that's great, very interesting xD
It must have been truly very fun, I'm happy for you!" Littletato said.
"Yes, hehe, thank you!
So... I'm gonna leave to play a little more, okay?
See you later Tato! 😊" Iam said.
"Alright then xD, see you later Iam! 😊" Littletato said.
Then Littletato closed her social networks and SoundCloud.
She opened the game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)" on Steam to play a little.
The girl was going to play the game's "Warzone" mode, which was a "Battle royale" style game mode.
A "Battle royale" game mode is a multiplayer online game mode.
This mode combines last-man-standing gameplay with the survival, exploration, and resource gathering elements of a survival game.
Battle royale games involve dozens to hundreds of players, who start with the minimal weaponry and equipment.
They must collect resources and weaponry on the battlefield and eliminate all other opponents.
While avoiding getting trapped outside a "safe zone" that shrinks over time, with the winner being the last player or team alive.
In Warzone, the danger zone around the players is a toxic gas that expands until it covers the entire game area.
And players can play in solo mode, in duos, trios, or squads with four players each.

After a few matches of the Warzone mode, it was eight and a half in the morning.
Littletato closed the game and turned off her computer, getting up from the chair.
Júlia had already finished playing her matches of "Counter-Strike 1.6".
"Hey love, I'm going to work, okay?" Littletato asked, standing next to Júlia.
Then Júlia stood up from the chair and hugged Littletato tightly.
"Okay honey, good luck at work, good work.
I love you my dear," Júlia replied, smiling at Littletato and giving her a kiss.
"Thank you honey, I love you too my dear," Littletato said, smiling and returning the kiss.
Then Littletato went to the bedroom, grabbed her phone and headphones, and put them in her backpack.
The girl was also carrying her wallet and her portable power bank-style phone charger inside it.
Littletato and Júlia each had a bicycle at their house.
The two went to the front door and Júlia opened it.
Littletato then took her bicycle outside.
The girl said goodbye to Júlia, and she said goodbye back with a hug and a kiss.
Littletato got on the bicycle and started pedaling to her work.

Julia went back inside, locked the door and returned to her laptop.
The girl kept a diary on her laptop, organized into year and month folders.
And the text files were created for each day of her life.
Júlia wrote down what happened yesterday in yesterday's text file, and did the same for today's file.
Then Júlia turned off her laptop and left her large wireless headset on its stand charging.
The girl picked up her phone, which had eighty-five percent battery.
And she also grabbed her small headphones from the drawer of her desk.
Júlia then got ready to go to the gym, which Littletato paid for monthly in a combo for both of them.
The girl put her workout clothes in her backpack.
She filled her water bottle and stored it too, putting the backpack on her back.
Then Júlia got on her bicycle and went outside, locking the front door.
The girl took the main house key, and Littletato had a spare in her backpack.
Júlia then cycled to the gym, it was a bit far, so she could already do a good workout along the way.
She cycled along listening to soft, relaxing music on her phone, which was the soundtrack of a relaxing anime.
The phone was strapped into a phone armband on her arm.
The girl arrived there and began doing the exercises that were in her exercise guide.

A few hours passed, and now it was ten and a half in the morning.
Littletato had already arrived at work by bicycle.
She already worked a little and finished the visual part of an app.
This visual part is called the frontend in website and application programming.
The company where Littletato worked called "Interworks Technologies" was making this application for another company.
Then Littletato worked for a few more hours, programming the same application and helping her coworkers.
It was already midday, and Littletato had an hour of lunch.
The girl could go out to eat somewhere or bring a lunchbox and eat in the cafeteria at her work.
Then Littletato clocked out to stop the time count and left the company building on her bicycle.
She had her backpack on her back, which contained her phone, charger, headphones, and wallet.
Littletato pedaled to a restaurant called "Mersea Restaurant & Bar", which seemed like it served delicious food.
(The Mersea restaurant is a restaurant that truly exists in San Francisco, California, in the United States.)
The girl ordered a double deck Island cheeseburger, with a vegan patty made from lentils and cheddar cheese.
The cheeseburger also came with ketchup, mayonnaise, iceberg lettuce and pickles, and the bun was brioche.
She also ordered a can of Coca-Cola to drink along with her cheeseburger.
Then the order arrived, and she savored her cheeseburger while drinking her soda.
After a few minutes, Littletato finished eating, she went to the cashier and paid for her order.
The total of the order was US$24 (twenty-four dollars), which is worth R$ 124 (one hundred and twenty-four reals) in 2026.
Then the girl went back to the company where she worked, clocked in again, and continued her work.
Júlia was already home, she had already finished her two hours of exercise at the gym.
She had made a delicious lunch to eat and had already eaten it, it was very good.
The girl was playing a bit of the game called "The Sims 4" on her laptop.
Júlia installed several mods or modifications to the game to make it more fun and complete.

After a few hours of work, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and Littletato had already finished her day of work.
She clocked out and went to the parking with her backpack on her back.
The girl got on her bicycle and started pedaling back home.
Littletato arrived home, opened the door with her spare key, and locked it after entering.
She noticed that Júlia was in the computer room using her laptop.
Júlia was watching a YouTube livestream on the "Funky Black Cat" channel, where he was playing the game called "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)".
And she was eating the chocolate-flavored stuffed cookies that Littletato had bought on Thursday afternoon.
"I'm home love!" Littletato said, giving Júlia a comforting hug and a kiss on the lips.
"Welcome back honey!" Júlia replied, smiling at her and returning the hug and kiss.
"Thank you hihi," Littletato said, who walked to the bedroom and changed, putting on pajamas.
Then Littletato and Júlia made a delicious dinner together, they ate while talking about how each of their days went.
Júlia talked about how her workout today at the gym went, and Littletato talked about how her day of work went.
After eating dinner, they both walked to the computer room and Littletato turned on her computer.
Littletato and Júlia played a few matches of the game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)" in the "Warzone" mode together as a duo.
The girls enjoyed playing together on the same team and fighting against the opponents, they won several matches.
The couple was a little tired, they turned off their computers and Júlia left her laptop charging.
It was eleven o'clock at night, Littletato picked Júlia up in her arms and walked to the bedroom.
She gently placed Júlia on the bed, lying down with her.
The girls covered themselves with the blanket and hugged each other tightly.
Littletato kissed Julia on the lips, smiling.
"Goodnight my love, sleep well, I love you honey," Littletato said, very happy.
Júlia returned the kiss and smiled back, "Goodnight honey, sleep well too, I love you too my dear," she replied.
Then the girls slept together in the cool night, looking forward to another fun day.
