It was a cold, wet and sunny day. The sun was shining brightly as it hit the wet ground that has now changed golden. Mary's chocolate brown eyes were closed. She was sitting in the car, leaning against the window as she waited to fall asleep. Her mum was quite, most likely already asleep. Her dad was humming one of the "The Beatles" songs, "Imagine". Mary listened to him as she slowly drifted into sleep until her dad decided to speak in his Irish accent.

Dad- So, do you miss your friends already?
Mary- ...
Dad- you asleep?
Mary- ...
Dad- Ok then...

The best way to get out of a boring father and daughter conversation is to pretend to be asleep and it's even better to pretend to be asleep if you actually want to sleep, unless your mum starts to snore. Mary opened her eyes and looked at her mother annoyingly.

Mary- Jesus, isn't that just annoying when you're trying to sleep and someone else decides to snore?
Dad- Yea, were you pretending to sleep?
Mary- Yes and now I'm actually going to sleep.
Dad- Ya can't.
Mary- why?

Mary's dad stopped the car.

Dad- 'Cause we're home.
Mary- my home is in England.
Dad- not anymore.

He then started to shake his wife gently.

Dad- Emma, Emi, EMMMMMAAAA. Wake up! We're here!
Emma- Uhh... what?
Dad- We're on our new home!
Emma- ahh. Ok then...

Emma got out of the car, her husband following. Mary leaned her head back slowly, closed her eyes and started day-dreaming about how her ex-boyfriend, Jack, cheated on her with another boy (not that she cared about the lovers gender or sex, but the fact she got cheated on), about how she'll never find true love and about her being bullied in her old school. She was thinking about this for 5 minutes but it actually felt like 5 painful years. Cold air hit her face as soon as she turned her head to the right. Mary opened her eyes to see the car doors opened and her mum smiling at her

Mum- Are you coming out or not?
Mary- sorry, I was day-dreaming.

Mary's mum giggled.

Mum- come out. I have a surprise for you inside the house.
