As the young blonde-haired girl drove past the "WELCOME TO ANGELGROVE" sign, all she could think about was /-/ Thank God I'm home. /-/
Her mind told her that no one would recognize her, but her heart sang at the thought of being back where her life had once held such meaning. /-/ Oh well. /-/she thought/-/ at least I know some people here, even if they wont recognize me. /-/
At the same time in the Youth Center, Aisha Campbell was watching her friends Jason and Tommy teach their karate class, and Adam and Rocky practicing their karate on another set of mats. When Aisha glanced up at the door, she saw a girl with pale blond hair looking at her. /-/ I wonder who she is and why she is staring at me/-/thought Aisha. Slowly the girl walked over and sat at the table next to Aisha.
"Hello." Aisha said.
"Hi." the girl replied.
"My name is Aisha Campbell, did you just move here?"
"Yea, I just arrived this morning from Florida. My name is Ann Heartfelt."
"Oh really, a friend of mine lives in Florida, what part are you from?"
"About the middle, I'm from a town called Ocala."
"Oh, I have never heard of that place." Aiesha said.
"Well it's not known outside Florida unless you are a horse person." Ann replied.
"Oh, do you want to sit with me?" Aisha asked.
"Sure thanks. Sooo, what do you do here in Angelgrove?" Ann asked/-/ Like I don't already know. /-/ she thought.
"Oh, the usual. Hang out, go to school, that sort of thing."
"Do you really have monster attacks here?" Ann asked/-/ Stupid question. /-/
"Yeah, we do." Aisha said with a laugh. "A lot of new comers ask that."
"Ask what?" a male voice asked from behind Ann and Aisha noticed she tensed slightly.
"Hey Billy. A lot of people ask if we really have monster attacks here."
"Oh yeah, they do." He said as he sat down next to Aisha. "Hi, I'm Billy Cranston."
"Ann Heartfelt. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too Ann." He said with a smile. "So, new to town."
"Yeah, just passing through though, but I'll be here about a week or so. I wish I could stay longer." she said wistfully, then continued quickly "It's a beautiful place."
"That it is. Well what brings you to our humble home?" Billy asked.
"My band and I are playing for Ernie tomorrow night at the party."
"Oh really, how neat." Aisha exclaimed.
"Well Ann, since you'll be here for a little while, let me introduce you to some of our other residents and your perspective audience." Billy said nodding towards the two women who were joining them. "Kat Hillard and Tonya Sloane. Guys this is Ann Heartfelt, her band is playing tomorrow night."
"Hello." Ann said to the two.
"Hi." Tonya said as they sat down.
"Hey, how are you?" Kat said
"I'm fine."
"That's good.Oh, hey guys." Kat continued looking over Ann's head.
"Hey Kat. Got room for four more."
"Of course Jase. Pull over some chairs." Aiesha said with a laugh.
"Great, only one problem though."
"What's that Rocko?"
"Well Tommy, there's no place to put any food."
"Stop thinking about your stomach for once." Jason said smacking Rocky upside the head.
"Ow, that hurt."
"Anyways." Billy said pointedly, trying to get their attention, "Guys, this is Ann Heartfelt, her band is playing at the party. Ann, this is Jason Scott, Adam Park, Rocky DeSantos, and Tommy Oliver."
"Hi." Ann said softly then looked up as there was a noise near the door. "Oh, looks like the gangs here. Will you excuse me, I have to find Ernie and set up for practice." She said as she stood up.
"No Problem, maybe we'll catch you later." Aisha replied, then Ann took off towards the door where three men and two women were waiting.
"She seemed nice." Kat said softly.
"Does anyone else get the feeling that you know her from somewhere?" Billy asked looking at the empty doorway.
"Maybe she just reminds you of someone." Aisha said softly, "but she does seem familiar."
