Griffin, Lee and I went to the house across the street because Grandpa said that there were kids we could play with. We all brought our skateboards.

Before I could knock on the door, a girl about my age opened it.

"Hi! I'm Natalie Token. Would you like some tea?" She asked, way too excited.

She had long, blonde hair, with bright orange eyes.

"Sorry, um, my grandpa told me you had a brother... do you think he could come out?"

"Jasper? Of course!" She called out his name in the house.
"You know, we rarely get visitors." She added.

Jasper came out. He had full on white hair, that was neatly parted to the left and dark green eyes.

Lee whispered "Weirdos" in my ear. I elbowed him in the ribs.

Two adults came out. They both had brown eyes with specks of olive.

"Hello children. We are the Tokens." Said a stocky man with a thinning crew cut and unusually thick rimmed glasses. He had to be a mormon.

They gave us each golden tokens.
Lee whispered weirdos in my ear, again. This time, I agreed with him.
