The ambience of one of the runways of Gatwick airport in London was not silent as a jet plane slowed to an eventual halt after a long flight. This jet plane in particular had just flown all the way from America as it's passengers proceeded to exit the vehicle and make their way to the clearance gates.

Out of all said passengers, a group of them stood out among the rest. Eight of them being adults with six of them in pairs. One pair being a thirty-three year old man in a dark green blazer with a red dotted tie and blue jeans, his most prominent features being his unusually purple spiky hair and large nose. His name was Stuart Louis Pickles, or simply Stu Pickles and was often considered the eccentric yet absent-minded of the bunch due to his long desire to become a famous toy inventor, even having created the trademark "Pickles Toys", which he hopes to be put on the map. The woman beside him was his wife, Didila Kropotkin-Pickles, or Didi for short. She was almost never seen without her signature red calf-length dress or her round green eyeglasses and just like her husband, her hair which was light red and protruded into three wavy forks stuck out the most.

The other couple consisted of Stu Pickles' older brother, a man with a nose similar to Stu's with a light blue under shirt with a green and dark blue vest and blue jeans and lastly, a pair of green-rimmed frame glasses. The man's name was Andrew Louis Pickles, or simply Drew Pickles. The woman who completed the other couple was Drew's wife, Charlotte, with blonde hair in a ponytail and purple eyeshadow, she was practically never seen without her business suit or her cellphone which you can guarantee that she always talked to her assistant with alongside other business related events.

And the third and last couple of the group was the DeVille's. The wife of the duo, Betty was an overjoyous and kind woman but with a tendency to speak in a strong voice. She was recognised by her light purple shirt with an orange design of the female gender symbol on the front. Her passive but well-meaning husband, Howard had a slightly similar hairstyle to Didi's, only he was missing the middle spike and the hair was a similar purple to Stu's. His attire being a brown collared shirt and purple criss-cross pants.

Then there was the single father, Chas Finster, an anxious and sometimes paranoid man but otherwise a close friend to Stu and Didi. He wore a light brown shirt with green pants with overall straps and a pink bow tie. His hair being of a short row of spikes in orange and a moustache split in the middle and lastly, a pair of purple square frame glasses. Whenever he spoke, his words would often come out with a nasal voice due to him having an adenoidal whine.

And finally, there was Louis Kalhern Pickles, or simply Lou or "Pop" as Stu or Didi would often refer to him with him being Stu and Drew's father, thus being the oldest of the group. An often witty and sarcastic old man but on occasion a very caring grandfather, he is never without his blue circular framed glasses, purple under shirt, green vest with matching pants or his very light purple hair and moustache. Having served as a soldier in one of the wars and faced multiple hardships that built his character such as walking fifteen miles to school during snow, he was often judgemental of everyday things been made much more simpler or being approached differently and if he was aware of something modern that he didn't approve of, expect him to start with "In my day..." and proceed to recall what he would use to do regarding the topic he ranted about.

And then there was the children of the couples, all of which were babies with the exception of one. One year old Tommy Pickles, whom unlike his infant friends completely lacked any hair save for the few strands on top of his head, clad in a baby blue shirt and diaper. His brother, Dil also had very few hair strands and only wore a purple onesie, both of them were the offspring of Stu and Didi.

Next was two year old Chuckie Finster, Tommy's best friend ever since they were much younger, with orange spiky hair that matched his father, Chas' alongside similar looking purple glasses and last but not least, a pair of two front teeth that stuck out even when his mouth was closed. His attire was of a blue shirt with a picture of a red ringed Saturn on the front, green pants and red sneakers.
