At a local computer trade show, Sabrina signs up with an Internet service provider so she can surf the 'net with her Amiga computer.
After tolerating some discrimination and a lot of software configuration pains, She manages to get everything working properly, only to find out a
different TCP-IP stack called Miami would have saved her all that trouble.
Meanwhile, and through a quick flashback, it's becoming obvious that the romance of Amy and Thomas is growing,
and they snuggle up for the night (again).
Sabrina decides to try out Internet chat and MUCKs, and as soon as she logs in, she's 'outed' as a real live female, and beseiged by
creepy chat denizens looking for a good time. This scared Sabrina away from chat before she found anyone worth talking to, though it seems there may be someone special out there who wanted to talk to her though.
Thomas leaves on a College field trip, against Amy's protests. In fact, she's so upset by it that she gets sick and has to go to the Doctor. At the doctor's, Amy makes the startling discovery that she is pregnant, needless to say an unexpected development. Thomas was out of town on a school trip, so he didn't know yet.
Meanwhile, Sabrina is saddled with the job of babysitting her little sister Tabitha. After the purchase of an Atari Jaguar, Tabitha was occupied until it was time to leave. Sabrina quickly made herself scarce so Amy could break the pregnancy news to Thomas upon his return.
Thomas finally did come back, and promptly swept Amy off her feet before she had a chance to tell him anything.
Amy finally managed to break the news of her pregnancy to Thomas while they were
'in the moment', causing Thomas to panic and somewhat insensitively
bolt out of the apartment. After finding him cowering in the stairwell, Sabrina talked with
Thomas for a bit, just enough to know he didn't want to run away, but shock
got the best of him. As He comes to grips with
the situation, Sabrina finds out her IRC chat friend Carli has gotten
married. In addition, Sabrina discovers she has an admirer, and might have
found out more if her e-mail hadn't been accidentally deleted.
Life took a turn for the better, as Thomas returned to Amy with
an engagement ring in hand, resulting in much rejoicing. Upon Amy's
request, Thomas moved into the apartment on a mostly permanent basis. In
the meantime, Amy adjusts to the pregnancy-caused changes in her body.
Sabrina finished up her stay in college, met a friend or two at her
graduation, and after some worries, started a new career as a website
designer, while adjusting to having a man around the house. Her unknown admirer writes again, finally giving her a chance to contact him.
Both Sabrina and her new acquaintance were feeling a bit insecure, so both
misrepresented themselves to the other. Don't worry, they came clean
shortly afterward.
Amy and Thomas go on a little road trip, to visit each one's parents. Amy
found out Thomas is a mixed-breed after meeting his parents, a short vixen
and a very tall wolf. Meanwhile, Sabrina is let go from her first job when the managers decide to buy a clip art pack instead. As luck would have it, She quickly finds a new job - at an adult film studio. Sabrina's new boss, a tiger-striped skunk named Zig Zag, takes a
curious interest in her, even giving her a big kiss. Sabrina talked about it to her
new boyfriend online, getting them both worked up enough to experiment with a
little virtual intimacy. The experiment was cut short when Amy walked in on
Sabrina, and Carli was caught spying, thoroughly embarrassing almost
everyone.
Later, Carli invites Sabrina to a Sci-Fi and fantasy convention in Cincinnati. It didn't take long for
Sabrina to discover that it was a plot by Carli to bring Sabrina and 'RC_Tech', Sabrina's mystery
boyfreind, together. Sabrina dragged Amy and Thomas along to the convention, met Carli and ner husband Spike, and finally met a raccoon named Richard Conrad, subconsciously recognizing him as her online boyfriend. The two
quickly became quite close, and might have gotten even closer if not for a sudden surprise - Amy and Thomas's baby decided to make its debut.
Amy was rushed back home, and to the hospital. After some long and painful
labor, Amy and Thomas were rewarded with a beautiful baby named Timothy.
Shortly after that, the two new parents finally got married, in a hastily-arranged ceremony.
As things began to settle down, Sabrina and RC were arranging to meet
again. Their plans were dashed because Zig Zag decided she needed
Sabrina to attend an adult entertainment industry trade show with her.
Amy, Thomas, and little Timmy settle in to family life, as Sabrina
confirms that Zig Zag's interest in her is more than just simple curiosity. Zig trapped
her in a hotel room and approached with amorous intent, Causing a panicked Sabrina to smack her very hard,
snapping Zig out of her state for the time being. The two talked
out their feelings in the hotel room, and returned home with a somewhat
better understanding of each other, especially after sharing a bed.
(Nothing bad happened)
Once she got back, Sabrina and RC resumed their plans to meet again. They got together at a fast food place in Cincinnatti, and found their chemistry was not quite the same as their first meeting. Sabrina discovered RC was an enthusiastic Windows user, for one thing. Despite this setback, they managed to find some common ground, in addition to discovering they live much closer together than they first believed. Sabrina offered to show RC her apartment on his way home, and there they talked over their lives a bit, simultaneously talking themselves into and away from the bedroom. After a little fumbling and insecurity, RC and Sabrina make love for the first time, and fall asleep in each others' arms.
The following morning, the couple had to wake up and go to their respective workplaces. Amy and Thomas discovered what had happened when RC visited their breakfast, and Zig Zag knew immediately, thanks to 'porn star's intuition', sparking another conversation between the two. Zig invited Sabrina to a party she was throwing. Sabrina balked at the idea, but decided to go, mainly because she couldn't come up with a convincing reason not to. Saddled with both Timothy and her sister Tabitha at the last minute, Sabrina called a babysitter, but one of her admirers, a certain 'bunnyman' showed up instead, and became the babysitter before he realized it, freeing Sabrina to go to the party. While Sabrina and RC deal with Zig Zag and others at the studio party, the Bunnyman deals with Tabitha and Timmy.
The Bunnyman found his evening finished when Amy and Thomas returned, but got some wages for his trouble. Sabrina and RC managed to escape Zig Zag's party, and walked to their car through the dark alleys. The pair were surprised by a mugger, and might have come to harm if Sabrina hadn't made use of a power skunks are known for. RC was caught in the blast unfortunately, but was mostly fine after a bath in tomato juice. Everyone naturally showed concern for Sabrina and RC's welfare, especially Zig Zag. Concern turned to a discussion of the nature of work at an adult studio, resulting in Zig Zag sending some of the studio's product home with Sabrina. Though she didn't watch the tape, Amy and Thomas enjoyed it while Sabrina waited for RC to make an appearance online.
Once RC showed up, the two worked out another semi-official date, where they took on the fairly mundane task of getting some shopping done. At a comic shop, Sabrina managed to corrupt RC, who found some toys from his past to buy. After retuning to Sabrina's apartment, The two attempt to get cozy, despite Amy, Thomas, and Timmy still being at home.
