Moving was usually a scary thing for most people, but for you it was one of the most exciting things that ever happened to you. You were moving from a sleepy town in Pennsylvania to Santa Carla, California. You had just been accepted into an elite performing arts school there, and were playing on moving in with your older brother, Cooper , who fresh out of high school and owned a business out there. You were moving in at the beginning of the summer in order to experience Santa Carla before school started. The idea of living in California thrilled you to no end. Not only were you going to be attending the school of your dreams, but you were going to be living right on the beach. It was such a stark difference from the farm town you were currently living in. You just had a feeling that it was going to be the start of an epic adventure.

   You had just picked up your luggage from baggage claim, and excited the airport to look for your brother. Soon after, a red Jeep without a roof pulled up and you saw that your brother was the one driving it. He quickly parked the car before jumping out and running over to hug you. You gladly accepted the hug.

   "Hey there, baby sister," he greeted.

   You replied by saying, "Hi Cooper  , long time no see."

   "You are certainly right about that," Cooper  replied before pulling away and asking, "You ready to go?"

   "I certainly am," you said.

   Cooper helped you gather your bags and place them in the car. Soon after, your brother was driving you down the highway to the beach where his surf shoppe was. Your brother had made a career out of making custom surfboards, and he was pretty darn good at it.

  At one point he asked you, "You excited about living here, y/n?"

"I'm super excited," you told him, "I've always wanted to live at the beach."

Your brother chuckled a little bit, "That's great. I'm excited for you to come live with me."

It was a short drive to Cooper 's shoppe, where his home was placed on the second floor. You noticed that your brother's store was at the very end of a long boardwalk; you felt excitement boiled up inside of you at the idea of exploring it. Your brother showed you where your room was, and you placed your bags in there.

You then asked, "Hey Cooper , do you think we could maybe go check out the boardwalk?"

Cooper  thought about it for a moment before saying, "I need to run the shoppe right now, but we can definitely check it out later."

He pulled his wallet out of his pocket before continuing, "In the meantime, there's a pizza shoppe called Mankos about two blocks down the boardwalk. You think you could go get a pizza for us for lunch?"

You perked up a little bit at that, "I can totally do that."

"Awesome," he said as he handed you twenty bucks, "That should be plenty. Tell them your Cooper 's kid sister. They'll give you a discount."

You giggled a little before joking, "Look at you having connections."

"What can I say? When you're as likeable as me people are willing to do you favors," You brother joked with a shrug.

You laughed at his dumb joke before heading towards the door.

"I'll be back in a little bit!" You called.

You made your way down the boardwalk, looking out for a sign that said Mankos. You couldn't help but notice how the people seemed to live a very different lifestyle than you. Everyone wore eccentric clothes and crazy haircuts, and seemed to have larger than life personalities. It was definitely a bit of a culture shock for you. Along your way down the boardwalk, you noticed a small comic book store with a sign that read Frog Comics. This caught your attention as you were a huge comic book nerd. There was a comic store in your old town, and you spent practically every weekend there. This small store brought you a small sense of home. You couldn't help but go into the store.
