That night…
"So have you met anyone today?" Amy's mom asked over dinner.
"Yeah, two boys next door, Matt and Jeff Hardy." Amy replied.
"That's good." Her mom replied with a nod.
"Yeah and they're gonna show me around town tomorrow, Can I go mom? Please." Amy begged.
"Yeah sure, now hurry up and finish your dinner and get to bed."
"Mom, I'm not 7 years old anymore, can't I stay up?" Amy complained.
"Yes, I know that. But you still need your rest, now move. And besides you need energy to explore town tomorrow, remember?" Her mom reminded her.
"Okay, okay. I'm moving." Amy replied.
Once she had finished eating and went up to her bedroom, the doorbell rang. "Ding dong"
"I'll get it!" Amy said and she ran downstairs and opened the door. And to her surprise it was Matt outside, holding a small container filled with cookies.
"Hi!" he said.
"Hi, what are you doing here?" she asked. "Uh, my dad wanted me to come over and give your family a welcome present." He answered.
"Oh…well, thanks." said Amy.
Matt handed her the cookies and was about to leave when Amy invited him inside. Matt didn't want to be rude so, he accepted the invite and went inside.
Amy's house wasn't exactly clean, it was still filled with boxes and the furniture wasn't exactly arranged, since they've just moved in, but Matt didn't mind. He liked Amy so much that he didn't really care.
"Sorry if the place is a mess." Amy said embarrassed.
"Its okay, my place is messier than yours." Matt said jokingly and Amy giggled a little.
They settled down at the living room. The living room was a bit cleaner than the other parts of the house, just in case visitors would arrive on short notice, like Matt's visit. After settling down, Amy's mom greeted Matt and made some tea for all of them. She left afterwards to clean up some more stuff and wash the dishes. Matt and Amy talked for awhile, until the doorbell rang again.
"Coming!" Amy called and she got up and went to the door. When she opened it, she found Jeff.
"Have you seen Matt?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah he's inside" Amy answered.
Jeff then went inside and into the living room where Matt was.
"Hey! Matt, I was wondering where you were. Dad wants you to come home already." Jeff said.
"Oh, okay. Well, we better get going. See ya tomorrow Amy."
"You go ahead Jeff." Matt said to Jeff.
"Yeah okay" and he rushed out of the door.
"Bye and thanks for the cookies." Amy said with a smile.
"Bye" Matt closed the door and ran all the way to his house, which was next door.
When he got there, Jeff was standing at the front porch waiting for him. Jeff stared at his brother when he got back, he looked strangely happy.
"She likes…." Matt said, still panting with a big smile on his face.
"She likes…. You?!" Jeff guessed, having a smile on his face as well.
"…the cookies…" He completed.
Jeff hit his forehead with his hand and shook his head. My brother is hopeless. He thought to himself.
"Those were store-bought cookies! Duh! You know dad can't bake! Anyone would like them!" Jeff exclaimed.
"So? What if she thought that I made them? Then maybe she'd like me." Matt said hotly.
"aa…" BAM! Jeff was about to say something when Matt shut the door at his face.
Brothers… He thought.
