Beatrix: Hello! And welcome to episode one of my television show! I got this camera for Christmas, and I wanted to start this show the second I got it but it took ages to fix because my mums couldn't work it out. Today is January 2nd and I'm your host, Beatrix Barret.
"Bea put the camera down" Esme begged as she tried to read
"No, come on mama, have a little fun" Beatrix laughed, shoving the camera in her mama's face.
"Go outside or something, go catch the waterhole before its dries up" Beatrix's other mum, Thelia said
"Here, take this, buy some treats," Esme said, handing her a $100 dollar note.
Beatrix smiled and took the note, calling out a thank you as she started up the doom-buggy, racing off the property and down the dusty road that leads into town.
Beatrix: Those are my two mums, they're gay. I love them both so much. Mama has an hourglass body, dark brown wavy hair, and green eyes, and her real name is Esme. Mum has a more square figure, fiery red hair, and glasses, her real name is Thelia. I'm Beatrix, I'm from America and those two adopted me when I was four, so I can't really remember America, but I still have my accent.
Beatrix: Mama has a massive family, she has nine brothers and sisters! So I've got 30 cousins, but I've only met all of them once at a family reunion.
Beatrix: We live in a small country town on the border of Victoria and South Australia, it's a nice place, everyone knows everyone.
"Beatrix! Turn around, that buggy doesn't belong out here in town" A police officer shouted from his police car. Beatrix stopped the buggy.
"Whyyy, it's slower than a car, it's small, but not too small, no one can get hit, I don't see the problem!"
"Just try to steer clear of the station," the man said, driving off. Beatrix nodded and continued swerving around corners and alleyways, screaming at eshays who wouldn't move and then threatening to run them over, coming across her friends, so by the time that they arrived at the waterhole three people were sitting in the front, two on the roof and five in the back. Beatrix parked the buggy and locked it up, not that anyone would steal it, just made her feel better.
She stripped off her top layers to reveal a faded one piece, in the city a faded one piece would be laughed upon, but in a town where the pools dried out every summer and no beach in sight, buying new bathers seemed like a waste of money.
Laughing and splashing the girls and guys spent all day in the waterhole, trying to make the very best of it before the scorching sun took it away. However, darkness was creeping upon them and slowly the group of sixteen became a small five.
"So Bea, will this be the summer?" Abigail asked, throwing soft drink cans into the water for people to collect and drink from.
"The summer of what? We only have a month yet until we've got school"
"Yeah, but still, should we tick off everything on our list? Even if it goes through February?" Brit said, popping off the Fanta tab.
"I guess so," Beatrix said, not really listening "I better head home guys, want me to drop anyone home?"
Sara stood up and sat in the passenger seat, but that was it. Abi, Brit, and Kathrine wanted to stay and gossip. Beatrix grabbed a monster can and opened it, sipping it as she started the car, driving Sara to her fancy house. Sara's dad is the mayor, so her entire life was filled with royalty.

Chapter Two
"KIDS GRAB YOUR SHIT! FOOTY STARTS IN TWENTY MINUTES!" Cassia screamed from the kitchen, who'd given up cutting the oranges and was now tearing them apart and throwing them into her Tupperware container.
"HUNTER WHERE IS YOUR LEFT BOOT? NO KELLY I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR TUESDAY UNDERPANTS ARE, JUST WEAR THE SUNDAY ONES!"
"Honey, calm down, it's only a game, and how many times are we late? Always, but everyone else is late too" Xander said, resting his arm on Cassia's shoulder.
Cassia: "Look, I'm not sure why I decided to have kids, they're a nightmare"
Xander: "They're not a nightmare Cass, we've got two beautiful beings"
Cassia: "Easy for you to say, you go into the office all day, I've got to entertain a six-year-old."
Xander: "We have two children, Hunter is nine years old and at the stage of losing things right when his mother doesn't want him to. Our second child is six years old her name is Kelly, she's just a handful who will run and explore for hours"
Cassia: "It's not a good thing, Hunter gets home from school and together we look for her"
Xander: "Right, well I didn't know that"
Cassia started up and car and fixed up her hair, making sure that it's evenly split down the middle and her fringe has no split ends, finally, her children and husband buckled in and the four of them drove along the main street, pulling into the alleyway behind the football oval. Kelly opened her door against another car.
"Oops"
Cassia sighed and took her hand, rushing off to her Aus-Kick behind St James oval, where Hunter played all his games. It was a small footy league, not many towns around here had enough players to make a whole team and Dalery was the only place to have an actual oval, if you count a half mud/ half dirt field a football oval. Meanwhile, Xander was chatting to the other footy dads, even though the coach, Dick, didn't even have a son who played.
"Nick couldn't make it?" Xander asked
"Nah bro, he had an audition" Dick replied, his New Zealand accent booming around them
"It's amazing that you still managed to keep that accent after spending years in Australia! How long now?"
"34 years"
"34 years! Wow"
"I don't actually still have my accent, I just practice it, at home" Dick whispered with an Aussie accent "Only you, Nick, and me' mother know about that"
Xander started laughing "Man, you're a great actor ever considered it?" but Dick's face stayed set, obvious that he wasn't lying.
"Bro, keep it quiet will ya?" Dick's New Zealand accent was back now. Xander nodded.
Dick: My accent died after two months in Australia, but I had to keep it! It's how I made friends, and besides, this town is bland as fuck, someone needed to spice it up
Nick: I found out about it in year 9, he's an incredible actor, but his singing in New Zealand-ish wasn't fooling anyone
Dick: Bro, don't call it that. And it did fool everyone, it still fools everyone!
Nick: Sure bud, ever wonder why I'm the only one who gets auditions
Dick: We both know you don't, you just drink and cry in some nearby town
