"Childhood sweethearts"
Author's Note: I felt there's just not enough of John and Mary and I'd love to see what their childhoods, teenage years and young adulhoods may have been like. Kind of a song fic.
"Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing when he was five years old."

"Come on John stand up straight. We don't want to give our new neighbors a bad impression. Now do we?" Said John's mother as she held a plate of fresh baked cookies and he held a pan of home made casserole.
"No ma'am." Said John repectfully as he tried to stand straighter.
A man answered the door looking like he wanted to hit whoever had been knocking but the look on his face changed when John's mother practically sang out "Welcome to the neighborhood."
Now he still looked annoyed but less like he was going to hit someone aqs he reached out took the casserole from John and the cookies from his mom, muttered a "thanks" and shut the door in their faces.
"Well, wasn't he charming?" John's mother joked as she guided her son towards the pathway that had led them up here. Now the door opened again and a woman appeared saying "I'm so sorry my husband was rude. I'm Deana."
John's mother turned back and nodded saying "It's fine, I understand moving can be stressful. I'm Katherine. This is my son John. We live just next door if you ever need anything."
A little blond haired blue eyed girl appeared at the woman's side and Deana said "This is my daughter Mary. My very rude husband's name is Samuel and I'd like to thank you on behalf of my family for welcoming us so graciously to the neighborhood."
Katherine nodded as she turned to guide John away again as she called over her shoulder saying "You and your family should come by some time John would absolutely love to have a new friend to play with. Wouldn't you John?"
John wanted no business being friends with a girl but he knew how he was supposed to respond and grudgingly complied with "Yes, ma'am."
PLEASE review and tell me what you think so far!
