So I guess I'll start from the beginning of me and Niall. We started out as friends when I first moved into the neighbourhood when I was only nine years old...

"Well, hello there new neighbours!" A cheery Irish accent greeted my family as soon as we walked up to our new house, here in Ireland. My dad got a new job, and we all moved over here to be close to him. We had lived in Canada before this.

I whipped my head around to look where my parents were looking. I saw a kind looking lady with a huge smile on her face. "You're from over seas, yeah? Oh, excuse me, sorry. I'm Maura, your new next door neighbour! Yeah the blue house. I've wanted to paint it for years, but I'm waiting until my boys get a bit older so they can do it for me," she said with a laugh. Man, this woman could talk. I zoned out a bit and began to take in my new surroundings. The bushes around the yard. The fountain sitting on the lawn. Our tall new house, unlike the old farm house we had back home. Oh wait, this is home now. I was snapped back into reality when my mother tapped me on the shoulder.

"Yeah?"

"Maura asked you a question, dear."

"Oh, sorry! What was it?"

"I asked you how old you were?"

"Oh. I'm nine. Turning ten next month though!" I was really excited to finally be double digits.

"That's great! I have a son who just turned ten a few weeks ago! I'll send him over to say hi after he gets home from football practice! Oh sorry, that's soccer for you folks!" She started to laugh again. Her laugh was quite contagious, I found myself giggling.

"Well thanks for saying hello Maura, but we should really start on all these boxes now. We'll see you soon!" My mother smiled at Maura. She waved and made her way back to her yard. My parents and I walked into our new home. It was so big. I walked up to my room and started to unpack things to where I wanted them.

I had been unpacking for a few hours when I heard a knock at my door.

"Come in!"

I turned my head to see a boy about my age with brown hair and blue eyes looking at me with blush cheeks.

"Uh.. Hi. Your mom... Oh wait my mom.. Uh.. Wait. My mom sent me over to say hi and your mom sent me up here because you know, you were in here..." He was obviously nervous. "Anyway, I'm Niall."

"Hi. I'm Ally." I smiled at him, in hope to make him feel more comfortable. I was a people person, I guess you could say. He immediately smiled back.

He walked over and sat on my window seat. He looked inside a box and pulled out Mr. Snuggles, my teddy bear.

"Hey, I have this same bear! Her name is Mrs. Snuggles!"

I looked at him in amazement.

"Well our bears must be married or something because mine is named Mr. Snuggles..."

"LET'S HAVE A WEDDING!" Niall shouted loud enough for the entire neighbourhood to hear.

We ran outside to his house and got Mrs. Snuggles. We had a bear wedding right in front of the fountain in my yard. I looked up at the porch in the middle of it all to see my parents and Maura looking and Niall and I, all of them with huge smiles on their faces; they were happy we were getting along so well and that we bonded easily.
