Chapter 2
_____________________________________________________________________
It was evening and Susan and Jonathan walk to the neigbours house. They think it's time to say 'welcome'. At the same time the Smiths come out of thier house and saw the Longs.
"Oh, we wanted to come to you! But looks like we had the same idea." Mr. Smith said with a smile.
"Yes, ahhh.... it's look like that." Jonathan says and look at a bottle Mrs. Smith holds in her hands. "Oh, is that for us?"
"Yes," she began "a little thing for you to introduce us."
Jonathan looks at the bottle and was surprised. A very expensive champagne, french, year 1995. All what the Long's have was a bread and a little bit of salt. The Smiths smiled but the Longs be ashamed.

Mrs. Long set the table for diner. Jake and Haley entered and sat down. But than Susan explain that the new neigbours have invited them for today evening. When they entered the Smiths house they were surprised. Expensive furniture, golden decorations etc. The daugther plays at a piano and the older man plays a violin. The dinner was also very exciting: lobster and caviar. Jonathan and Susan felt themselves very poor.
After the dinner, daughter and grandfather where in bed, the Longs sat at the couch with vine and crackers during the Smith's clean up the kitchen and talk.
"Did you see how they look when they saw the food?"
"Yes, as if something bad." Mr. Smith said.
"I think they are poor!" Mrs. Smith explain.
"O honey, they aren't poor, they middle-class."

The Long's sat at the couch , talk and look around.
"I'm very impressed. What do you think what they work?" Susan asked.
"I don't know. But we can ask them! But they must have very good jobs, I mean look..."
"What,.... Haley?!"
Jonathan look at the window where Haley, in her dragon form, knocks at the glass. Jonathan stood up imediately and walk to the window.
"Haley, what happened? What when someone sees you?" he said a little angrily.
"I'm hungry!" she said.
"Look in the fridge!"
"The fridge is empty!"
"There are the macaroni from yesterday!"
"They are bad. Can I have that?" Haley asked and pointed at the crackers.
"Okay, here and now go before the Smith's see you and think that they have a vision." Jonathan said and close the window.
"Mr. Long is there something?" Mrs. Smith asked when she comes from the kitchen and shocked the Longs.
"Ahhhh.... no, nothing! But... ahh... we need more... here... they are very delicious!" Jonathan said and give her the empty bowl.
"Oh... okay." she said and leave the room.
In the kitchen she get a ciggarete and smoke before she angrly told: "They drunk and eat like fat pigs. That was the last time we invite someone."
Than she bring the Long's the new crackers and leave the room again. But a few seconds later it knocks on the window again. Now it was Jake, in dragon form too. Jonathan walk to the window again and opened it.
"What?" he asked.
"I'm also hungry! And Haley won't share."
"Okay, here...Good night!" Jonathan said and close the window and sit down again.
Jake was still flying in front of the window to look inside. Jonathan and Susan give some hand-signals that he should gone. A few moments later the Smith's entered the room.
"AHHH... What was that?" Mrs. Smith shouts and almost become unconscious.
"Ahhh.. what?" the Long's asked shocked.
"Emm... there at the window,... a ... a... red reptile or something." Mrs. Smith explains and points at the window.
"Sorry, but we have seen nothing!" the Longs lied.
Mr. Smith walked to the window and opened it. He looks outside but there was nothing. He closed it and shake the head.
"Honey, there was nothing!" Mr. Smith said.
The Longs were relived.

After hours of talking, drinking and more the Longs decided to go home. After the Smiths closed the door behind them, Mrs. Smith began to talk:
"I know what I saw. I don't imaginared that. And there's another thing: I've heard how Mr. Long is talk to someone. I think to that thing I saw!"
"Hhmm..." Mr. Smith began "I think you shouldn't drink so much."
"Ohhh... yes, thank you for the hint. But I have saw something. And the Longs have something to do with that.

The Longs walk back to thier home. Relieved that nothing strange happened after Jake's appaerance at the window.
"That was close." Susan said.
"Yes, but there is another thing. Have you seen that expensive things. And how they live, talk, and the daughter... at 8:30 they said: go to bed. And she stand up say Good night and go. You know what Jake and Haley say when they should go to bed." Jonathan told and opens the door.
"There is a word for people like them," Susan begin "Snobs."
