Chapter 1
"Great," Sandy said into his cellular phone. "We can't wait too see you. See you soon." He hung up. "They're on their way," he told Kirsten happily.
"Perfect that gives me just enough time to set the table," she said and got right to work.
Meanwhile in the poolhouse, Ryan and Seth were playing ninja warrior video games, as usual.
"Oh, buddy, looks like I just kicked your ass and chopped your ninja's head off at the same time," Seth said in his usual sarcastic voice.
"Yeah," Ryan mumbled. "Well looks like we better get ready, your dad's friend is supposed to be here soon, right?"
"Come one Ryan...one more game?"
"You're on."
The doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Sandy yelled as he scurried over to the large front doors. He pulled them open and there he saw his best friend from high school, Patty, and her sixteen year old daughter. "Patty!" he said, embracing his long time friend. "How have you been, it's so good to see you."
"It's been alright," Patty replied. "This is my daughter, Kristi." Kristi stepped forward and gave Sandy a smile.
"My, you look just like your mother did back when we were kids," he shared.
"So I've been told," Kristi laughed.
"Let me help you with your bags," Sandy said as he and Patty went to the taxi to gather their things. "Kristi, you can go on inside."
She slowly made her way through the large hallway and found the kitchen, where Seth and Ryan were approaching through the back doors. They both spotted Kristi and stopped dead in their tracks. "Um, hi," Kristi said nervously.
"Well hello," Seth said, carefully eyeing her. Ryan just looked on.
"Um, don't think I'm just some crazy girl in your house, my mom-"
"Her mom is Sandy's friend from high school," Kirsten cut off as she entered the kitchen. "Kristi, it's so good to see you again." Kirsten gave Kristi a quick hug. "I'm sure you don't remember Sandy or me but we met you when you were a baby. You look just like your mother did, it's quite unbelievable actually."
Kristi laughed. "Sandy just told me the exact same thing."
"Well at least I'm not the only one who sees it," Kirsten smiled. "Let me go help your mother and Sandy."
"So...you're staying with us?" Seth questioned.
"Looks that way to me," Kristi replied. "I'm Kristi, by the way."
"I'm Seth, and this here is Ryan." There was and awkward silence that slowly flooded the room. "Do you like video games?"
