Two nineteen year olds met a couple years ago and now live together are looking for a new home. They saved up enough money to get a decent home in a quiet neighborhood.

Spencer is in the kitchen where she can see the view of the other secluded houses nearby. Grabs a bag of popcorn and puts it in the microwave.

"Spencer what are you doing? I thought we were going to meet the new neighbor today?" Jewls said.

"But I'm hungry, the neighbor can wait." Says Spencer.

"Don't you ever learn when to stop eating??"

She narrows her eyes at Jewls. "Nope." She cracks a smile. "Thought you'd know me that well by now."

"Yeah yeah. We need to work on your eating problems a little. At least when we have plans.Any other time you can eat away." Said Jewls.

Spencer takes the popcorn and opens the bag. "Sorry, what was that?"

"Wow Spencer. Okay you can finish your bag, then we are going to meet the new neighbor. You didn't eat the pie I made for her did you?"

"Of course not." Eats a handful of popcorn then sets the rest down. "Ready."

"Okay grab the pie. I will introduce us so you don't make things awkward."

Grabs the pie carefully. "What's that supposed to mean???"

"Just saying. Alright let's get out of here and go meet this neighbor of ours."

"Alright."

The two girls get to the neighbors house and knocks on the door. A huge german shepherd runs in front of them into a doggy door. 

"What was that Spencer?" 

"A dog." Spencer said.

"Well we know the new neighbor likes animals now. Hope someone answers the door soon."

Spencer knocks on it louder. Someone comes to the door and opens it.

"Hi. We are the new neighbors. My name is Jewls and this is my friend Spencer."

"Hello!" Spencer said awkwardly.

"Hello nice to meet you. I'm Amber."

Spencer stares at her.

"That's a nice name. Oh I almost forgot. We made you an apple pie. Hope you like it." Jewls said.

"How old are you, do you live alone, what's your dog's na-" Jewls cut Spencer off.

Amber smiles. "Thank you very much and to answer your questions, I'm 18, yes I live alone, and her name is Delgado."

"I'm sorry about Spencer. She gets overly excited about meeting new people."

Spencer hands the pie to Amber. "We are 19 by the way," Says Jewls. Spencer nods her head up and down.

"We were wondering if you would like to have dinner with us tonight."

Spencer's eyes widen. "We are? I mean, yes we are."

"I don't know if thats such a good idea." Amber tells them.

"Well maybe another time then." Jewls responds.

"Okay." Amber nods.

"Alright well Spencer we best get going now. Nice meeting you Amber."

"You too." She closes the door. Amber thought to herself, "That was close."
