Tom awoke to the sound of his alarm clock radio. He felt like he needed to unpack that, he enjoys the morning news. A news speaker was telling the newest stories. "This morning a man named James proposed to his boyfriend, Aleks, inside a restaurant. More after this." Tom smirked. "That's adorable. I hope their relationship goes well."

Tom walked to the kitchen and unpacked some cereal from one of the boxes. "I really needed to unpack more yesterday.." He sighed. As tired as he was, he should have unpacked some food for the week. He found the "Plates and etc." box and grabbed a cereal bowl.

When he finished eating he decided to walk around the neighbourhood for a bit. But he didn't want to go empty handed, so he unpacked some foods and mixing bowls a made some chocolate chip muffins. "Okay, let's get started." Tom enjoyed baking, especially with his mother when he was little. Mark did too, but she never told the secret recipe of Momiplier's Chicken Soup.

"Flour, Baking Soda, Sugar.. And Chocolate Chips." Tom soon finished adding the ingredients and put the muffins into the oven. He went on his phone for a while and soon a soft 'Ding!' Came from his timer. "Nice! Golden brown and soft to the tou- Ouch!" Note to self for Tom, always wear oven mitts.

After 30 minutes of Tom's fingers being burned off, he placed his muffins into a small basket. "I hope the neighbours like these.. One of them waved at me, and I didn't wave back.. Dang." He thought this could work as an apology gift, as little as the incident sounded, he wanted to apologize anyway.

Tom rung the door bell to the house next door, and soon felt nervous. What if they didn't like him? What if they didn't want his muffins? What if they try to murder him?! He spun around and headed for the steps, just before he heard the door unlock. Crap.

"Hello. Can I help you?" The man's voice was kind and had a strong end to it. Tom spun around again and waved shyly. "Oh hey.. I'm sorry, I'm new to the neighbourhood and I just came to say sorry about not waving to you yesterday. It was pretty rude so I made you some muffins."

The man smiled. "Why, thank you! But you don't have to apologize for not waving back, maybe you didn't see me, that's all." Tom felt relieved. He thought he would have a neighbour rivalry and he moved in just yesterday. "Oh, alright then. Here, have some muffins. Chocolate Chip. Made them myself." Tom grinned.

"Mmm! These look delicious, but don't go just yet. Come inside, I don't even know you're first name!" Tom grew concerned. This man seems friendly enough, but what if he isn't? What if he wants to kidnap him? He started to weigh the Pro's and Con's of this situation.

Pro's: Meet a nice guy.
Share stories.
Gain reputation.
Con's: Medium chance of getting mugged.
He could be dangerous.

Tom eventually decided that going inside wasn't such a bad idea, he seemed nice enough. Plus, he was kinda attractive.
