From Canada to Seattle, 5 years old Nick William Marsh just moved in at 303 Comstock Street, where not so many people are usually outside but kids were playing together in the street.

It's 4 pm in the afternoon, Nick sat down on his porch watching the kids running back and forth in the middle of the street finding himself smiling at the scenario.

He wander his eyes around the area and saw a little girl sitting on the wooden swing on her own holding a barbie doll, she's blonde with green eyes,her hair falling down her shoulder and she's got chubby cheeks.While Nick has  brown blonde hair, mixed brown and green eyes and a not so chubby but chubby cheeks as well.

He immediately stood up and look at the left and right side of the road before running towards the little girls swing.

"Hello" the little boy smiled standing in front of the little girl.

"Hi" the little girl replied looking up at him shyly

"That's a cute doll" he smiled pointing at  the barbie she was holding

"Her name is Anatomy Jame, it's a gift from my mom for my birthday" the little girl answered

"Ohhh... anatomy Jane?" he questioned

"She's got detachable organs" she answered pulling up the dolls dress to show him its stomach, opening it to show him the organs with different colors

"That's cool" he chuckled

"Yeah" she added

"Can I sit with you?" he asked shyly earning a nod from the blonde "thank you"

"What's your name?" he asked

"Meredith" she smiled turning to smile at him, seeing the sparkles in her eyes

"I'm Nick, it's nice to meet you" he smiled

"I haven't seen you here before" she said

"We moved in here a week ago" he replied shortly "I live there... from across the street" he added pointing at their house

"MEREDITH STEPHANIE GREY!" they heard a woman yelling from the inside of their house "What did I say about going out at this time!"

"Mom, I'm here!" Meredith replied as a woman stepped outside their front door

"It's almost 5 pm it's getting late you're supposed to be doing your homework" The woman said

"I finished doing my homework before I went out" Meredith answered looking at her mother

"Good evening Ms Grey" Nick greeted smiling politely

"Hello...and you are?" Ellis asked

"I'm Nick Angelo Marsh, I live across your street" he answered pointing at their house

"It's getting late aren't you supposed to be at home?" Ellis asked concerned as she guested Meredith to stand next to her,so she did.

"Well, go home now Nick, your parents must be looking for you" Ellis said

"Bye Meredith" he smiled, waving at her

"Bye Nick" she replied waving at him as well
