One day recently, I was looking at back issues of The Times, and I found a little story called "The Hacker". At the end of part 2, it said To be continued... but I couldn't find Darling44's Part 3. I am stepping up to give this ending a try...


Everyone started throwing objects at NB. Turkey, mud, snowballs, and even a random kiss. The bride ran up to NB. "HOW COULD YOU???" she screamed. NB quickly exited. He had a very bad feeling in his stomach.

Later that night, NB couldn't sleep. So he crept downstairs and logged onto Whyville. He clicked on his Y-mail and gasped. His inbox was brimming with mail!! It would have appeared he was really popular, except they all had titles like "I HATE YOU" and "HOW COULD YOU?!?!" Great. He was already on City Hall's bad side, and now he was on everyone else's bad side, too.

Suddenly, near the bottom of his box, NB saw a Y-mail with a different title. "Sorry," it read. It was from X.

The Y-mail explained that X was going through rough times in real life, and he was sorry for taking it out on NB. He stated that he could fix everything if NB only gave him his password. Being a trusting sort of person, NB agreed.

The next day, NB happily logged on to Whyville. But no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't get into his account. X had scammed him.

That day, NB made a new account. The screenname was nomoreX. After raising his salary, and waiting the 5 days before he could communicate on Whyville, NB Y-Mailed the bride, asking for her help getting X banished. She agreed, although she didn't know that he was really NB.

She met nomoreX at the bazaar, and he pointed out X. The bride went up to him, and whispered hi. Soon, X did the exact same thing he had done to NB (aka nomoreX). A City Worker came over angrily. The bride quickly explained that X was doing this. The city worker agreed to give it a test. She removed her beanie, and found X in another room. He did the same thing to her. The City Worker then quickly banished X.

The bride turned to nomoreX. "I know who you are now, NB" she said. NB nodded. "I'm so sorry," she whispered, and hugged NB.

PLEASE NOTE: This story is incorrectly titled. X did not illegally gain access to Whyville's servers, a la hacking. Instead, he deceived NB into giving him his password, so he scammed him. The title should be "The Scammer" instead.

Editor's Note: Actually, Darling44 did write a third installment, but there wasn't an ending. Perhaps this fits into the series after all....
