Lazy Sunday afternoon, I've got no mind to worry....thought Jeremy Saint as he tidied up the lunchtime dishes. Looking out the window he noticed something happening next door: A new neighbour.
She was dressed in the latest trendy gear; a black and white minidress with white go-go boots. She was the type of girl and look that Jeremy had read about in the magazines but had not seen before now. This chick was certainly with it!
Jeremy rushed to the telephone and made a call to the Best Friends Forever. Travis Scott picked up the phone.
"Travis...cute blonde just moved in at Streamlet Single...you know what this means?"
"WELCOME WAGON!" said Travis, exictedly. "I'll get the girls and we'll be right over"
Travis turned to Summer and Liberty. "Go get the cake" he said to them.
"The what?" replied Summer.
"GO GET THE CAKE! You know, the family heirloom?"
"Oh that cake" said Summer, wincing.
Within minutes the 4 neighbours had gathered at Streamlet Single to welcome the new resident. Liberty knocked on the door, as was tradition and the trendy young woman answered it.
"Hi...we're you're neighbours and we wish to welcome you to our street. I'm Liberty, this is Travis, Jeremy and bringing you some cake is Summer."
"It's a family heirloom" said Summer, with a big smile on her face.
The young woman invited them in to the house. "I'm still unpacking...oh, my name's Suzy; Suzy Kent."
Jeremy plucked up the courage to speak to her. "Nice to meet you, Suzy...I say your outfit is really 'with it'"
"Oh this? Just something I picked up down Simnaby Street recently"
"You shop in Simnaby Street?" said Summer, exitedly.
"Yeah, it's where the fab and groovy gear is...Not only do I like shopping there it's part of my job, really. I'm a style influencer at "Hey, Wow!" magazine."
"I never miss an issue of 'Hey, Wow!'" said Summer.
The four of them talked for a couple of hours. Suzy was impressed her neighbours were young, with it folks...well, except for Jeremy who seemed a bit square, but he was a nice guy she guessed.
"Time to go and leave Suzy to finish unpacking" said Liberty, tugging at Travis' sleeve.
"Oh man, we were just getting started!" complained Travis.
"Time to GO!" she said, pushing him out of the door "and you too, Jeremy...Summer...it's dinner time and you're rostered on to cook tonight"
Suzy shut the door after them and turned to look at the unpacked boxes and cases. "Maybe later..." she said. She did have a work assignment to do...interview a Willow Creek resident about their look. She'd forgotten to ask her neighbours so she looked out of her window to see if there was anyone else around. Down at the fishing spot there was someone...a woman decked out in this seasons colours: Black and white.
Suzy jogged over to talk to her and they complimented each other on their respective outfits. But the fishing spot was popular and soon she couldn't do her job properly without local fishermen complaining that she was standing on their spot.
