The day started off fine. The day was fine. I got up at my usual time. Went downstairs and had Breakfast With Scarlett and Colin. It was Tuesday, We were going back to work on Thursday. Colin Had the day off. Rosie and Cosmo was at School. After Breakfast I took a shower and got dressed. Jean shorts and a shirt. It was Mid september so it was the perfect weather. Afterwards I went back downstairs. 'Are we doing anything today?' I asked Scarlett. 'I thought maybe You and Colin could spend the day together, Getting to know eachother! Colin has a bunch of activities for you' Scarlett said. 'What are you going to do?' I asked. I didn't want Scarlett to feel left out or get sad or bored. 'I'll just hang out here, I have to do a bit of work anyways!' She said. 'Okay!' I said. Colin came down the stairs a few seconds later.

 Colin came down the stairs a few seconds later

'Are you ready for today?' He asked. 'Well, I don't know what we are doing, So I guess I can't be ready for it. But I'm excited for today!' I said. 'Heh, I have a day filled with activities! Starting off with Tennis in the Backyard, Chess, Mario Carts, Bike rides, Card Games, Basketball, Soccer, and finishing the day off with swimming!' He said. 'Wow, That sounds exciting!' I said. It sounded like a lot but I was down.  We went out to the backyard. The backyard was georgous. It has had a pool, A tennis court, and some grassy areas. In the front of the house there was a basketball hoop. We went over to the Tennis Court. 'Do you know how to play?' He asked me. 'No, but I'm a quick learner!' I said. He spent the next few minutes teaching me how to play. Then we started the game. He tossed the ball over on my side and I ran to bounce it off my racket on his side. After about thirty minutes we were done with the first game. 'You won! Are you sure you haven't played this before?' Colin asked me. 'No, this is my first time' I said. We played four more games and surprisingly i won them all. 'Alright let's go inside, We can play Chess, while Scarlett cooks some lunch! Have you played Chess before?' He asked me as we walked towards the back door. 'mm, No, I don't think so' I said. 'I'll teach you!' He said as we walked in. 

He set up the chess board in the sunroom. He taught me how to play. It sounded kind of complicated. Lots of different peices. But as we played it, it was pretty easy. I clicked the button. 'Checkpoint.' I said. 'It's Checkmate, Not Checkpoint' Colin said laughing. 'oh, Checkmate' I said Correcting myself. We played another round and I won again. 'You did good, You Won Tennis and Chess' He said as we walked into the dinning room. We ate Lunch  together. Colin, Scarlett, and I. 'How was Tennis?' She asked. 'It was good, Fun!' I said. 'Yea, because you won all the matches!' Colin teased. 'Oh, really! You see Colin doesn't like to lose! you must be pretty good! have you played before?' Scarlett asked. 'Nope!' I beamed. 'Wow! How me Chess go?' She asked. 'It was good n There are a lot of chess pieces, But I got the hang of it!' I said. 'Yes, She was good, She won both rounds!' Colin Teased. I just giggled. 'Wow, You won Tennis and Chess, Nice! Seems like we got a winner in here! and it's not Colin!' Scarlett Laughed. The lunch was good. It was Mac and Cheese and french fries. 'Thank you for making Lunch, Scarlett!' I said. 'of Course, Sweetie!' She said rubbing my back. 'Do you know how to ride a bike?' He asked me when I put my down in the sink. 'Mhmm, I taught myself when I was five!!' I said. 'Alright, Well, We'll just have to go on a bike ride around the neighborhood!' He said. 'Alright!' I said. We went over to the garage and got the bikes. We put on helmets and set off. We rode around the neighborhood. We were biking back. 'Race you to the driveway?' Colin asked. 'Yes!' I said. 'Alright, three...tw-Go!' He said. 'Cheater! you have to count all the way down!' I said catching up to him. I was in the lead as I went up the curb to the drive way. 'Ha ha, I won, you lost! Cheater!' I Teased sticking my tounge out. We put the bikes up in the garage.
