Welcome to Perth... *it is the announcement when you arrived to the airport, so i cut it short*
"It's too hot here...." Although Serena complaint, but it was that kind of weather she liked. Warm breeze,
warm temperature... everything was warm!! The reason why she liked that kind of weather, was probably
because she loved the feeling how the wind blew on her face, her hair and her dress. However before she
could find herself in dream-land, her mother called for her.
"Serena, don't just standing there. Quick, come and help me!" Serena sighed, wondering how her mother knew
she was about to day-dreaming. Without much more delayed, she hurried off to her mother and helped to carry
some of their heavy luggage.
"Mum, does your friend know we're here?" It was after a moment of waiting, and still there was no sight of
Aunt Gaia. Worrying her mother's friend, Aunt Gaia, would forgot about their arrival in Australia, Serena
asked. She knew it was Aunt Gaia who would be their 'tour guide', for she had asked her mother earlier that
day.
"Of course she knows. Probably there's a heavy traffic down there..." There was no need to ask why her
mother trailing off like that, becasuse a car had parked right in front of them. The two women soon in a
big bear hug, for they hadn't see each other for almost 20 years. After introduced her friend to Serena
and the entire luggage were in the trunk, the trio were on the way to Aunt Gaia's house.
On the way Aunt Gaia explained to the the arrival the reason she was late. It was because she wanted her
son to come along,but then he refused! Therefore there was a chasing game, and in the end, her son won.
However, Serena wasn't in the mood to listen the conversation between the mothers, for she had a problem of
her own too...

About 20 miuntes later, the trio stopped at Aunt Gaia's house. It wasn't a house to Serena: the front
garden could compared with the largest football stadium, with a statue of fountain with stepping stones
was on the far right, there was a gazebo behind the grand fountain, a small pond with an over bridge
on the left... you named it! It seemed like the things that the other houses didn't have, this
so-called house had it all.
If the outside was elegant and beautiful enough to impress them, then maybe the inside would had the
beauty to impress them more. Spiral stair-case, entertaining room, dance room, gymnasium... no one would
realised that the interior design was a mixture of the castle and mansion!!
Serena began to wonder why Aunt Gaia showed her everything outside and inside
the 'house'. Her question was soon to be answered, by Aunt Gaia came to a room .
"This is it," Aunt Gaia said, as she turned the door knob, "Serena. This is your room from now on."
Serena could only gapped. Her room? This was her room? No way!!! The colour of walls was her favourite
colour - creamy, a wooden desk and chair, which she longed to have her own in her bedroom for 17 years, a
not-so-small yet not-so-big medium-sized bed... Unknown to Serena, Aunt Gaia and her mother grinned behind
her back, knowing that it was beyond her expectation. "We'll be leaving you here. You can have a shower
if you want to..." After saying those words, the adults walked away.

After hours of repacking, Serena decided to take a shower. Glancing at her watch, which told her it was
3.30pm, and Serena thought it wouldn't do any harm if she took a bath earlier. Threrefore, taking only two
towers, Serena went to the bathroom... and woah, not only the house was diiferent from where she was from,
even the bathroom was also different!!
On the other side of the door...
"Mum, I'm home!!" announced Darien, who had been out after a while. He failed to notice two pairs
unfamiliar shoes as he put his shoes in the cupbroad. *duh! is he blind or what?* Instead of hearing his
mother's reply, there was a silence. Knowing his mother, there shouldn't be a silent after what he had
done. 'Maybe... they haven't come back yet?' He thought, but then that wouldn't be because it was now
3.30pm... and the flight of his mother's friend was in the morning.
"Darien, is that you?" Darien relieved, after he heard his mother's reply. It was no wonder his mother
couldn't hear him returning because she was in the kitchen with... a stranger? His mother briefly
introduced to him that this was her old friend in United States, and her daughter had tagged along. Darien,
who wasn't interested in girls at all, walked into his room soon after that.
Meanwhile in the bathroom...
After a fresh shower, Serena now had a tower around her body, and another tower wrapped around her head,
before went to her room to get changed. As she about to pick up her inner clothes, she saw...
