Chapter I
Saturday Morning arrived swiftly on a hot summer day. The bugs were swarming and the cul-de-sac was filled with the aroma of freshly cut grass. In one of the houses in the neighborhood, the Pickles family were preparing for a neighborhood cook out. Tommy, the toddler of the Pickles family, was playing with his favorite set of baby blocks, watching his parents rush back and forth getting ready for the party appointed that afternoon.
"Now where did I put those forks?" Dee Dee Pickles asked, rushing to set up the tables.
"Never mind the forks! Where are the stupid hot dogs?" Stu Pickles exclaimed in the form of a question.
While the two parents were in a frantic mess, Tommy stared blankly at the window talking to his recently deceased grandfather sitting on the couch so basically he was talking to himself.
"She will be here shortly." Tommy said with anticipation.
"Oh, how I miss my love!" Tommy glared with excitement watching the Finsters family car arrive in the Pickles driveway.
"She's here." He whispered with as much restraint to his joy as possible. Tommy watched each family member step out of the car.
"First, the Finsters" Tommy said.
"Next, Chuckie." Tommy added. Tommy had memorized the order they got out.
"And lastly…Kimi." Tommy said as he did his best not let his heart pound too fast.
"My love!" Tommy said without any restraint.
He listed her features.
"Those luscious eyes, her quaff hair, and her name…" Tommy took a minute to breath before boldly saying her name.
"Kimi."
As Tommy continued watching out the window, Kimi took notice of Tommy.
"It's him." She said with a soft spoken voice.
"My senpai…"
