*knock knock*

The mother and the little daughter stood there outside the door of the new neighbour's house awaiting a response to their knock at 3:00 pm sharp. It was a beautiful day, a beautiful afternoon. The glorious sun made Brianna's beautiful curls look even more exquisite with the sparkling effect it seemed to give. Brianna had managed to slip into a white cotton dress with pink flowers. She had perfectly fit in her tiny feet into a pair of neon pink sandals. Her mother looked no better. She looked gorgeous with her orange maxi skirt and simple white top. She held the covered basket of cookies on one hand. The two of them, patiently waited putting up a smile on their faces.

Soon a lady answered the door. "Oh hello there. I'm Victoria Stone", she greeted the guests. "Hey! I'm Pamela Parker, your neighbour nextdoor and this is my daughter Brianna. We just thought of welcoming you into the neighbourhood with some cookies. *Hands the basket of cookies to Victoria* And of course, besides that it would've been a great excuse to meet our lovely new neighbours," Pamela said. It was followed by giggles from both the ladies and the little girl. Victoria was a plump and short woman who might've been of age 35? Well, you can't tell. "Oh how very nice of you. Thank you so much for these. My son and daughter will relish them. And I can see that you've got one adorable daughter. Please come inside and feel at home," replied Victoria and led the two guests inside. Brianna smiled at what Victoria had said. She liked compliments. BUT WAIT. DID VICTORIA JUST MENTION THAT SHE HAD A SON? SO AFTER ALL COULD BRIANNA'S PLAYMATE BE A BOY AND NOT A GIRL? YEAH, THERE WERE EQUAL CHANCES AT THAT. "Great!," Brianna whispered to herself. She crossed her fingers hoping for the boy to be the elder brother and the girl to be her playmate. Having a boy playmate could be disastrous and she knew that by experience. As for one time her cousin John, who was her age had come over for a few days. Oh what a hard time he had given Brianna. He had chopped off all her barbies' hair, tore her art masterpieces (which were obviously the colourful drawings of flowers and butterflies that every girl did when she was small) and what not! He might've made her cry almost 20 times a day. So Brianna always thought that boys were the WORST playmates everr! The vision of the days spent with John automatically brought a frown to her face. So she shook her head to get the flashback out of her mind. That move was displayed as a weird one which made Victoria and her mother chuckle.

After serving a cup of tea to each her guests, Victoria called out to her children. "Al and Jenny, please come downstairs. There is someone whom I want you guys to meet.," she shouted. In no time the two children appeared. "This is my daughter Jenny and this is my son Al," Victoria said as she introduced her kids. "Badluck Brianna. Your playmate's a boy," Brianna muttered under her breathe. But again she was pulled aback by those thoughts when she realised that the boy seemed pretty nice. He had a beautiful and charming face. Brown hair just like her's swept on his forehead. He was quite cute as she thought. She learned that he was the same age as she was. FIVE. Yet he looked quite big for that particular age. His sister was fourteen. She was tall and slim and pretty. Neither of them looked like their mother. Maybe they were more like their father. The two of them got seated on the sofa, each on the either sides of their mother. The mothers and the big sister conversed happily but the two children wouldn't open their mouths.They didn't say a thing. Brianna caught a few glances of the boy. It's amazing how even the youngest of people can get attracted to someone at the first sight itself.

Well, time passed sooner than ever in that cozy house and finally it was time for Brianna and her mother to leave. "Goodbye,' they said to everyone. "I'll send Brianna in sometime to play with Al. She's been very excited to have a play date with a playmate," exclaimed Pamela, giggling as soon as she realised that her words had rhymed. "Sure, anytime. You're always welcome," stated Victoria with a warm smile. And then they left. Not even a minute and back into their own fine house. "Maybe after all a play date with that boy will be fun. Honestly, you can't tell but yeahh I think he's a nice fellow," thought Brianna to herself. She was positive. Again she couldn't wait to go on her first play date after forever.

So that was it. Did you like it? Yeah, Brianna as a child had a pretty mature mind. She thought differently and not like any other child of her age. She was unique. I hope it didn't bore youu!
