1951
Allison Pond-Williams is 25
"First day of your new job!" Allison's best friend Monica squeals running into Ally's room.
"MONICA NO!" Ally shouts angrily looking up at the clock.
"WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY IT'S 5:30 IN THE MORNING!" Allison screams.
"You never were a morning person," Monica chuckles.
Allison grunts and buries her head under her pillow.
"You have to go to work, it's the first day, you've got to get everything ready and all!" Monica chuckles.
"I quit!" Ally shouts.
"The kids need an English teacher," Monica smiles.
Allison grunts angrily in response.
"I'll make you pancakes!" Monica grins.
"I only have one class and it starts at 10," Allison complains.
"Allison!" Monica moans.
Allison grunts again in response.
"Get into the shower, get dressed, and you get pancakes," Monica states.
--
"And, ladies and gentlemen, she's done it!" Monica grins.
Allison walks into the kitchen wearing a simple blue spotted dress that sticks out of her knitted sweater with elbow patches and her plain black flats look cute with the black sheer tights under her dress. Allison's hair is in a cute braid and she plops herself down onto a barstool. Allison has always dressed oddly for a 40s-50s woman.
Monica sets a plate of pancakes in front of Ally and Ally gobbles them down.
Allison puts on a tan trench coat, slides a large purse over her shoulder and slides her keys into her bag.
Monica hands her friend a canteen of coffee and waves her off for her first day.
