He let out a whoop that echoed through the empty apartment. "She's here!" He shouted the words, unable to contain his excitement. He had just received a message: “Hey, it’s RainCloud. Officially in the city!” He slammed his fist down on the table, grinning like an idiot.

A sense of pure exhilaration coursed through him. He couldn’t stand still. He paced the length of the living room, his energy levels spiking. He felt like he'd been given a shot of adrenaline. He was energized, ready to take on the world. This was the best news he had ever received.

He picked up his phone and typed furiously, his fingers struggling to keep up with the thoughts racing through his mind. "RainCloud! OMG! We HAVE to meet up! Name the time and place!" The message sent, he began to do a strange, enthusiastic little dance, his body moving almost uncontrollably with the joy.
