Setting: Uzma and Darian sit, staring numbly at the screen, wondering where to start.


They start searching the web for more sites about Pet Rocks! They read an article from the trusted website *cough* Wikipedia *cough* and discover that Pet Rocks lasted about 6 months in the 70s. They started in California and took off from there. The first Pet Rocks were ordinary gray stones bought at a builder's supply store and marketed as if they were live pets. The fad ended in December 1975. After it ended, Gary Dahl was a millionare. The Pet Rock came with an instruction manual on how to teach your rocks tricks. While "sit" and "stay" were effortless to accomplish, "roll over" usually required extra help from the trainer. "Come" was found to be impossible to teach, but "attack" was fairly easy. The trainers also found that potty-training their pets was rather hard.
