"Hey wait up geo!" Sapnap said panting "You know you're faster than me this is unfair!" He giggled as he started to catch up with George. "I got ya!" Sapnap jumped and tackled poor George to the ground "OW OW SHIT!" George shouted. "What's wrong?" Sap said concerned. "My knee got scraped on a rock! Gah fuck!" He pushed Sapnap off him and hugged his bleeding knee, crying. "Hey! Hey! It's okay shhh." He patted George's head "shhhh, here geo." He moved his hand and put a paper towel over the cut "Ow.."
"Hold this over your knee and I'll take you to my house so we can disinfect it." Sap held out his hand at George. He silently took it and they headed off to Sapnap's house.

[At Sapnap's house]
"MoooooOom! George scraped his knee! Can you hellllp?"
"Hm? Oh goodness, are you okay George?" George pouted with tears streaming down his dirtied face. "I'll take that as a no. Come over here." He walked over to Sap's mom and she put him on the counter "this is going to sting so just a warning." She gently put the disinfectant on his knee and patted it down "ow ow ow-"
"I'm sorry hun but I'm almost done okay?" She did it a couple more times "there. Let me get a bandaid."
"Use the cute pink ones mom!"
She placed the pink bandaid on George, smiling. "There, all better." She scruffed up his hair and set him down "now be more careful okay? You could seriously hurt yourselves if you're not."
"We will mom!" He turned guilty to George "hah.. sorry about that ^^" George punched his arm hard. "Hey! Ow?!"
"Now we're even. Don't you complain." Sapnap rolled his eyes and grabbed George's hand "wanna go watch tv for a while?"
"Sure."

They watched television for a while, scrolling through the different channels "boring, seen it, boring, hate it, seen it, seen it-" they were suddenly cut off when they saw a U-haul truck park into the vacant house next door. "Huh? Is someone moving in?" George asked "let's find out." Sapnap smirked, he grabbed George's arm and burst out the door.
George, with an annoyed expression pulled his arm away and lightly slapped sap. "You're an idiot."
"And you love it." He smiled "anyway, let's focus on what's *REALLY* important." He pointed at the U-haul. "Hm, I don't think the people are here yet."
"Seriously? Bummer. I wanted to see the new kid!"
"What if it's not even a kid? What if it's some weird old grandma who just stays inside all grumpy like."
"I hope not. We already have one of those and she's real mean. We don't need another."
"Cheers to that."
SCREEECH
"Huh?" They said in unison.
"It's the people!" Sapnap said. "I bet you 25 cents that it's an old woman" George said.
"Deal. Cuz I know you're wrong!"
The car pulled up next to the U-haul. "I can't see anything? But I can hear talking."

"Guess we'll have to wait for the U-haul to move." George sighed.

"But that's borinnng! I don't wanna wait for a dumb U-haul! That'll take so LOOOONG ugh." Sapnap put his head into his knees. Suddenly, Sapnap heard footsteps coming towards his house. "Hm?" He looked up and saw a family of 3. "George look!" He said excitedly "I guess they're here to introduce themselves." George whispered.
"Hello." A soft and friendly voice came from what is assumed to be the mother. "Is your mother home sweetheart? We'd like to introduce ourselves since we're new to the neighborhood." The woman smiled gently.
"Uh yeah let me get her- c'mon Geo." He said glancing at the child standing behind them.

"Alright." George followed Sapnap back inside and turned to him "Did you see the kid?"

"Nope, but I saw his hair! It looked fluffy and dirty blonde."

"Awesome. I'm excited to see his face."

"Yeah me too!" He smiled then breathed in "MOOOOOM! THE NEW NEIGHBORS WANNA SAY HIIIII!"

"Oh? Tell them I'll be right there Nick!" She ran to go brush her hair.

"She'll be right over in a sec." He smiled to the family.

"Alright." The mother smiled back. "Well I suppose while we wait we should introduce ourselves." She cleared her throat and pushed her son forward to where they could see him. He had covered his face with his hand and looked down. "My name is Jessica, and this is Clay. My husband over there is named Jason." Sapnap smiled and waved "Hi! My name is.." he hesitated. ".. my name is Nick! But please call me Sapnap, Nick is such a lame name. Besides!" He whispered to dream "it's my code name for my secret treehouse."

Clay looked up a little, revealing a little green eye and a couple of freckles, he giggled a small bit.

"Em.. Hi." Geo smiled awkwardly. "My name is George." He scratched the back of his neck.

Clay looked up a little more, smiling. "Hi George.. Hi Sapnap." He waved.

"I like your voice! You sound really cute!" He said eagerly "not as cute as george's of course but still a close second!" At that moment, the door behind them opened.

"Hello! I'm Nick's mother, sorry I took so long. I'm assuming you already introduced yourselves to my son and his friend so you two are free to go." She smiled at them. "Can we Take Clay inside while you guys talk?" Sapnap asked. "Sure!" Clay's mom said.

"Awesome! C'mon Geo! C'mon Clay!" He grabbed both of their hands and led them to the backyard.
