The next morning Cheery groaned and reluctantly got and did her morning routine. "Well today is the day I'm gonna meet those two raccoons." she said to herself. Cheery sighed at sat down on the couch getting on her socks and shoes. Just as she got up there was a knock at the door. Confused Cheery opened the door to see the raccoons.
"Sup? You must be the new girl we've been hearing about." said the twin with the fedora.
"Uh. Yeah, my name is Cheery." replied Cheery.
"I'm Shifty." exclaimed the twin.
"And I'm Lifty" the other twin spoke finally.
"Nice to meet you both." said Cheery.
"Like wise." replied Shifty. Cheery was starting to wonder. Was Shifty just introducing himself to find out where I live? Or was it just to be friendly? She just smiled and stepped outside. Maybe they could be friends. Or enemies or even frenemies. Cheery didn't know. Although they looked and acted nice she still had to keep her guard up. Or else she will get robbed. Cheery didn't want the latter. So she kept an eye on them to keep a look out for anything suspicious.
"So...wanna hang out sometime?" asked Lifty who got a pounding from his brother.
"Sure why not?" replied Cheery. Noticing Shifty blushing she gave a confused face.
"Eheh...um where?" asked Shifty nervously.
"I dunno. Is there a skate park?" replied Cheery.
"Yeah...Why?" said a confused Lifty.
"I have a skateboard." said Cheery. She grins. "Wait here." Cheery got her skateboard out. Lifty and Shifty's eyes nearly popped out of their heads at the sight of it. The thing was maybe worth thirty – forty dollars. Cheery noticed and couldn't help but giggle they looked funny.
"H-how much is that board worth?" asked Lifty who got another pounding from Shifty.
"Ten bucks." Cheery lied. It was actually fifty – sixty bucks. Lifty and Shifty heads went down in disappointment. Ten bucks? That's cheap, real cheap, for a board. Especially a skateboard. Upon noticing this Cheery was happy. There was no way they were gonna steal the very board that won her tons of skateboard competitions.
"So let's get going to the park!" exclaimed Cheery as she locked the door. Lifty and Shifty showed her the way. Today was gonna be a fun day.
