Crash Bang
Boxes crash onto the wooden floor as Quinn grunts.
"Mum Please!!" He cries.
"For the last time.. NO!" Mum mutters.
"But I love our house!"
"Quinn.. I said no and I mean no!!"
Quinn stomps off to his room and slams the door close behind him.
ShadyOaks is on the other side of the country, tomorrow is moving day. Mum has a job at the solicitors and it is a well paying job and it is a family company so since our pop moved, the company moved so we follow behind them..

"Morning.." Quinn and I groaned
"Morning children, all packed up ready to go?" Mum asks
"As ready as I'll ever be.." Quinn sighs.
7 hours later
We're off the plane, finally.. We see a sign with our names on it, we walk next to our shover..
"Mum!! I'm hungry!!" Quinn Grunts.
"We'll be home soon, Quinn." Mum sighs.
"But mum!" He whines.
"Fine.. Charlie, what would you like to eat?" Mum frowns.
"Just a salad box please." I sigh.
1 hour later
"Urm, miss.. May I escort you to your new household?" The shover insists, rolling his eyes.
"Yes please, Gizmo" mum says
"It's.. Gary---" "Chop chop! We don't have all day"
"Yes ma'am" He sighs.
10 minutes later
"Uh.. That was our turn." Mum frowns.
"No.. Your turn is up here.. The Springfield residence lives there.. You live in the forest."
"No we don't!" Mum yells.
The car suddenly stops.
"Welcome home.." He smirks.
"Wait.. We're the Springfields! That was our house back there!!" Quinn shouts.
The shover throws the bags onto the chipped road..
"So, walk in.. make a left.. then a right, then another left.. then cross the crocodile infested creek" He smiles.
We trudge through the rocky pathway..
"My feet hurt and arms hurt! Quinn, Charlie.. please take my bags" Mum says, throwing the bags on us.
Quinn falls back, he lays there..
"Don't let the snakes bite you." I mumble.
"What! There's snakes!!" Quinn cries.
"Duh--" "Quinn! You silly boy! You got your white shirt all dirty! I payed alot for that!!" Mum cries.
"Sorry mum..." He mumbles.
We finally reach the creek..
"You expect us to cross that??" Mum sighs.
"There's a boat there.." I said.
"And a spider in there!!" Mum screams.
"So? There's a frog in that tree.. It's just nature.. don't disturb it and it won't hurt you.. simple as that." Quinn mutters.
