1.1.1 The Green Potato
1.2 Chapter One
1.3 The Unexpected Visitor
It had been seven years since The BSC had met. Seven long years and lots had happened in those seven years. At 17 years old they had all split up, making new friends, moving, all sorts. Even death had split them up. Abby had died.
Kristy decided that they needed to meet again. This beautiful friendship as children should not be wasted. So that was why Claudia was sitting in the airport on a late December afternoon, freezing by slow degrees. The loud speaker came on:
"The plane from Connecticut has just landed at gate 24." Claudia tingled with excitement. Mary-Anne, Dawn and Kristy would be on that plane. She squeezed her husbands hand tight and shifting in her seat. Her stomach bulged but not because she was fat. Claudia had always been slim with beautiful fair skin and almond brown eyes. She had lived in America her whole life but her family was Asian. So was her husband. Lee nudged her and pointed towards the doors. There they where. She got up and walked as fast as she could over to them. Hugging them all tightly they all started talking at once. Lee came up behind them and with his soft, thoughtful, Australian voice said, "Lets get to the car. I'm freezing."
Mary-Anne had tears streaming down her cheeks as she grinned at all of them. Mary-Anne had always been a bit prone to crying and now it was all to much. She wailed into Dawn who looked as happy as ever with a little girl tightly holding her hand. (Dawn was now an Auntie!) Kristy patted Mary-Anne on the back and tried to get everyone moving. Stacey would be arriving later that day and that would mean lots of time to talk with her best friend before everyone else arrived. Stacey also had a young daughter and she was bringing her husband along. Mary-Anne's husband, Logan couldn't make it as he was away on a work trip.
When they arrived home, Claudia led them to their rooms. She owned a mansion which she used as a hotel. Soon she would have to stop though once the baby had come. Lee was too busy working at the office. He'd had a terrible childhood, his parents dead because of a war in Australia when he was a teenager. Lee had been through lots of terribly frightening things and his face went blank when he remembered it.
Snuffles and Peanuts ran up to her legs as she entered the hose. Beautiful black Labrador puppies. Claudia finally settled down for a conversation with her friends as the little three year old daughter of Mary-Anne's patted Snuffles who had taken a liking to her. This little girl was called Sasha. Sasha was totally different to her mum, who was shy and very emotional. Sasha was polite and well brought up but outgoing and good at sports. Mary-Anne had wanted to call her Kristy because she reminded her of Kristy as a young girl and even looked like Kristy but Logan had insisted on Sasha, as it was a pretty name and won't be confused with Mary-Anne's best friend.
Claudia was deep in conversation with Dawn and Kristy when the door bell rang.
"I'll get it!" Lee yelled.
There was a pause when Lee unlocked the door and opened it.
"Ellie!" Came a startled yell from the door.
