"Oh mum!! It's BEAUTIFUL!!" Gale said as she exited their large blue Suburban. She gazes up at the 2 story house. 'Wow! I cannot wait until I can pick my room!!' She thought, gazing at the top floor. "Sweetheart! You haven't even seen the BEST part!!" Her dad says as he opened the gate and went behind the house. "Come on Gale!" She follows him to the backyard. What she saw took her breath away. A overly large yard with fresh dirt!! "This is the PERFECT place for my garden!!" Gale said, almost to tears. She could just imagine where everything was going to be! "We thought you would like it honey", said her mother as she grabbed some boxes out of the car. "The movers will be here in a few hours. Gale? Would you like to-" "Explore the house!! Yes!" Gale said, overflowing with excitement. Her dad laughs. "Your mom and I will get the boxes out of the car, you go and pick out your room." Gale nodded. "Just yell for us if you need help!!" Her mom yelled as Gale was already in the house, running up the stairs. She runs back down. "Okay mom!" She yells as she runs back up.
Gale counted the stairs as she ran up. "...37..38! Wow that's so many," she says as she looks into the first room on her left. 'Too small' she thinks to herself. She closes the door and looks behind her to the room on the right. 'Nope! My room ain't gonna be a bathroom' she thinks as she snickers at the thought of a bed being in a bathroom with her stuffed animals. The next room was very big, but the window was facing the neighbors house, so no. She skipped the next door, because it had scribbles all over the door. 'No way am I going to be in a kid room..I am NOT a baby!' The she reached a pink door. She liked pink, so she opened it. "It's PERFECT!!" She exclaims as she runs to the window and see's that the window is facing the back yard. 'Now I can see my garden!' Then she starts to examine the closet. It was very large. 'There's even enough room to put my gardening supplies in here!!' She closes the closet and then looks at the wall, trying to figure out where her posters are going to go, and what color it's going to be. She looks around and sees a chest against the wall. She tries to open it, but its locked. 'The moving guys must know where the key is!' She runs down the stairs and finds her mom putting boxes from the moving truck into the house. "Oh hi honey!! Did you find your room?" "Yes! It's perfect!! And there is a window facing where my gardens going to be!!" Then she see's a moving guy put the couch in the living room area and rushes over to him. "Um, sir? I was wondering...do you know where the key to the chest goes?" He looks at her with a confused stare. "What chest?" "The chest in the room with the pink door, sir." His face goes pale, but regains color quickly and says, "The owners to this house before you gave the key to the neighbors. That's all I know." He says as he goes back to the truck to get the couch cushions. 'What's HIS problem?' Gale thinks, but soon just forgets about it and heads over to her dad to help with getting her gardening tools. 'I'll just go over tomorrow to ask about the chest key.
