Lance Point of View:

          I was walking around the neighborhood when I noticed the 'For Sale' sign was gone at the house next door to my house. I took out one of my earbuds and checked out the place. "New neighbors huh?" I said to myself. They had a concrete walkway and a single step leading to their front door. The outside of the house was white while the roof was a darker grey color.  I walked up to their door and gave two knocks. After waiting a few seconds I heard the door creak open.

          "Hi! I'm Laaaance...." I looked up at whoever answered the door and felt my face burning red. I made a sound similar to 'eeeuhh'. They walked out wearing sweatpants and what I'm guessing was a sports bra. "Matt? You're home early-" I assumed they thought I was someone else; their eyes were closed. "How did the enrollment go-" they asked. Soon after, looked up at me and screamed. Almost a second later, slammed the door in my face. They came back outside wearing a NASA shirt and apologized, "I am so sorry did you-uh-need something?" I stuttered a little, still blushing, "I-oh! Yes-I, m-my family is right next door to the right and we wanted to invite your family over to dinner." "Oh-OH! Yeah of course," she replied, " I'm sure my family would be able to make it!" "Awesome! See you at 7?" "Mhm! 7! Yup!" I awkwardly turned away and said goodbye. Now to tell my family I invited another family over.

Pidge Point of View:

          He and I said our goodbye's and I closed the door behind me. I let out a relieved sigh, welp I just completely embarrassed myself in front of my new neighbor, great! I heard a little bark coming from below me, along with a disappointed look.  I yelled at Bae Bae, "DON'T YOU DARE GIVE ME THAT LOOK, YOUNG MAN." Now to tell my family that we have dinner plans.
