"Okay," said Julie. "The moment has arrived."
Annika grinned.
"All the testing has been done. All that needs doing is to upload the new site."
"Yay."
"Yay indeed," Julie grinned back at Annika.
Julie highlighted the files and folders that needed updating, and then hit the magical 'copy' button.
"How long is it going to take to upload?"
"Oh about an hour," Julie said cheerfully. "But most of that is the three game demo files."
Annika chuckled.
"Well, unless you plan on watching it -"
"I should hang around in here to keep an eye on it and make sure all goes well."
"Okay, well, I was going to say we should have our business meeting, but I guess we can have it in here."
"Sounds good to me. What's new?"

The upload finished roughly about the same time their meeting did. Eagerly, Julie opened up her website and started checking everything had uploaded correctly.
"I wonder how long before we get our first subscription?" Annika mused.
"Yeah, same," Julie replied. "Hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm just itching to send out our first subscription package."
"Yeah. All those manuals cost money to get printed up. At least the DVDs and their cases were cheap."
"And all so much fun to burn."
"If we make enough, maybe next time we can afford to outsource it."
"Let's just hope we can make enough to cover the costs of all those subscription packages we created in advance first."
"Yeah."

Some hours later, Julie was in the process of feeding Dax when there was a knocking at the door. Awkwardly, Julie stood and made her way over.
"Who is it?" she called.
"Annika!" there was sheer excitement in her voice.
Julie opened the door, rather curious about Annika showing up at this time of day.
"What?" she inquired.
"You will never guess..." Annika said, bounding inside.
"What?"
"We got our first subscription!"
"We did? Already? But it... it all only went up..."
"I know!"
"Oh wow! Who?"
"The guy who owns the Cyborg33 account - he upgraded."
"Oooh, I've played with him before. Oh my gosh! Our first subscription!"
Julie wanted to bounce up and down with glee, and had to look down at Dax in her arms helplessly instead. Annika chuckled.
