"Finally the cookies are done, I thought they were going to take forever," I said, putting on my oven mitts and placing the cookie sheet on the stove.

"This kitchen is so much better than the other house," Breanna said, throwing her purse over her shoulder.

"Hey! I thought you had work!" I exclaimed grabbing the cookie plate from the cabinet.

"Well I did but my manager let me get out early for my date tonight," Breanna said.

"Who are you going out with?" I asked, placing the cookies on the plate

"Some Satyr," Breanna said.

Breanna and her brother Peter are satyrs my Aunt Neirak is more of my step-aunt and my uncle Skiyler is an elf he's related to my mom who passed away in an accident all the way in New Urban along with my dad.

"Oh okay, you want a cookie?" I asked offering her a new, fresh-baked cookie.

"I was just about to ask, Oh! and about next door that Barley guy Mom and Dad don't like lives there be careful,"l Breanna said oh really I asked yep heard he has a brother that is cute. Man, you make good cookies see you!" Breanna said all right bye I said I went over to the coat rack and put on my jacket I went back into the kitchen and grab the cookie plate I locked the door and walk down the driveway I made it into the Lightfoots' door

I knocked on the door, "One second!" someone yelled from the door. I adjusted the cookie plate in my hands and waited for someone to answer the door.

"Sorry I had to- how I may I help thee, Fair Maiden?" A Tall elf asked, answering the door.

"Oh, my aunt told me to greet the next-door neighbors," I said awkwardly, "I brought some, well I made cookies," I said getting nervous.

"Ooh, what kind?" He asked, excitedly.

"Oozeberry chip," I giggled slightly.

"Oh, my favorite!" He said, "Would you like to come in it's raining?"

"Oh, yeah, sure," I said coming into their house I saw a "Quest Of Yore" board on the table and I started to geek out.

"Holy tooth of Zatum! You play Quest Of Yore?" I asked

oh yeah all the time do you he asked

"Sadly my board got lost in storage when I moved," I said, examining his board game

"That's sad, the name's Barley, by the way," Barley said and extending his hand.

"Oh, nice to meet you I'm Y/n," I took, his hand and shook it.

"Hey barley who's down- Oh hello who are you?" A younger male elf asked, coming down the stairs.

"This is our new neighbor Y/n, She brought us cookies!" Barley said, excited.

"Oh hello I'm Ian, Barley's brother," Ian said, shaking my hand.

"Nice to meet you," I said, Ian went over to the counter and took a cookie and so did Barley. they both took a bite at the same time.

"Mmh these are good, did you make these?" Ian asked, taking another bite out of the cookie.

" I made him but my aunt forced me to make them," I said shrugging still looking at Barley's "Quest of Yore" board.

"You are right these are good, Ian," Barley chuckled, licking his fingers.

"Thank you," I said, a loud boom came from outside making me jump lightning struck outside lighting the dark sky.
