Chapter Eight

Brittany and Taylor walked into the house, finding it full of boxes and packing peanuts. "Wow, you sure do have alot left to unpack!" Brittany mused as she picked up an empty box and set it aside. "Yeah, we have no idea what to do with all of it!" Tay joked, throwing his shoes into the closet as he walked into the kitchen where Mr. and Mrs. Hanson sat. "Everybody, I would love for you to meet out very cool new neighbor!!" Tay took Brittany's hand and held it above their heads like she had just won a boxing match. "Hi, I guess I'm your new neighbor." Brittany revealed shyly, her face taking on a red glow.

"Hi Britty!" Mac squealed, looking up at her as if she were a giant. "Well hello! You must be Macky!" Brittany picked him up and began carrying the small boy around. She looked into the living room to see Jessica and Avery too indulged in their barbies to even notice that she was there. "Jessica, Avery! We have a visitor, now put down your barbies and come meet her!" Zac commanded. The girls giggled at Zac's newly found leadership, but they obeyed and came running into the kitchen. "Hi girls!" Brittany kneeled down to Jessica and Avery's height. "Hello!" The girls said in unison, with much enthusiasm. Brittany just laughed and motioned for them to go back to their barbies.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hanson." Brittany said politely, offering her hand. "Please, call me Diana." Said Mrs. Hanson, returning the friendly gesture. "Yes, and please call me Walker!" Mr. Hanson said, repeating his wife's tactics. "If you don't mind me asking, sweetie, where are your parents?" Ventured Mrs. Hanson. "Oh I don't mind at all! They're on vacation. I really didn't feel like going, so they let me stay home!" Brittany sat on a chair that was near the basement door. "Do you know when they are going to be comming back?" Mr. Hanson questioned as he finished his cup of coffee. "Ohh, I'd say in about a week!" Brittany replied as Taylor took her hand and led her up to his room. "Nice meeting you, Brittany!" Diana shouted as Brittany was dragged up the stairs.
