???: Mom Mom, can I go play outside!

Mother: Did you finish unpacking?

???: Yes! Can I?

Mother: Ok, but stay in our yard ok.

???: OK!

The little girl walks out of her new house and down the steps to the patch of grass she upped onto and rolled around. She layed on her back and looked in the sky.

???: Hehehe, it's nice out today!

???2: Um, won't you get d-dirty rolling around like that?

???: Huh, Oh Hi!!

???2: H-hi.

???: And I'm just playing. It's ok to get dirty!

???2: Doesn't it bother you. All that dirt. You get all sticky and gross.

???: But you're outside. You are going to get dirty!

The girl on the ground gets up and brushes off.

???2: I don't know. I don't like being outside.

???: Then, why are you here?

???2: I thought you were hurt so I came here.

???: Oh thank you. Oh, I'm Luna!

The girl puts out her hand.

???2: I-I'm. . . Seth.

The boy slowly puts out his hand and the girl reaches out to shake it. She violently moves her hand up and down, making the boy shake.

Luna: I just moved here!

Seth: *Shaken up* Oh, co-cool.

Luna: How old are you?

Seth: I'm only 8.

Luna: SAME!!!

Seth: Oh, cool.

Luna: Where do you live?

The boy points to a house across the street a house down.

Luna: Wow we live close to each other! We can play with each other!!

Seth: Um, I don't l-

Luna: Like being outside I know. But I can come over and play!!

Seth: Oh, but my room is really small.

Luna: That's ok, then you can come over and play at my house!!

Seth: Um, I guess.

???: SETH!?!?!

Seth: Oh, that's my dad, I have to go.

Luna: Ok, see you later than Seth!

Seth: Um, ok. COMING!!!

The boy turns and looks down the one way street then runs across the road. He gets to his house and waves a goodbye to his new friend.
The girl turns and runs inside her house also.

Luna: Mom Mom! I made a new friend already!!!

Mother: Did you?

Luna: Yea, he's a kid the same age as me across the street!

Mother: That's good. I'm happy you're already making friends.

Luna: I know it's so cool!
