Chapter 1
Annie Comes Back
Tucker Carbunkle was playing out in the driveway as usual when he heard a car pull up right behind him. Someone came out of the car and shut the door. He turned around and saw a familiar face.
Jenny Wakeman and Brad Carbunkle lay on the back lawn, staring at the clouds as they passed by. Brad, feeling unusually random at that moment said, "What if clouds were giant floating marshmallows?" Jenny gave him a confused look, shook her head, and continued looking at the sky. Brad muttered, "There are no dumb questions, Jenny." She dismissed the comment with a wave of her hand. At that moment, Tuck rushed in, running and flailing his arms about his head, and shouting, "She's back! She's back! She's back! She's back! She's back! She's back! She's back! She's ba-" Brad grabbed the collar of his little brother's shirt and pulled him up by it. "Who's back, Tuck?"
"I'll tell you if you'll put me down."
"Fine," Brad said, and dropped him. Tuck stood up then pulled on his brother's arm as he spoke. "She's back! Angelina Wilmat! We haven't seen her in five years Brad! Five years!" Jenny watched the whole seen with curiosity. It seemed like Brad was slowley processing the information. She waved her hand in front of his face, but he seemed to be in some sort of daze. Then he turned through the house and out the front door with Jenny and Tuck following close behind. Once out the front door he thrust his self at the brown-haired blue-eyed girl in front of him. She was caught off gaurd and fell backwards. Brad fell with her. After hitting the lawn, they both sat up and extended their arms out to eachother. "Brad!" Angelina layed her head on his shoulder. "Angie!" Brad squeezed his old friend, then added in a more calm voice, "It's good to have you back."
