Who: Sam, Brian, the twins, the Cruzlings and DOGS
What: Welcoming the Newcomers
Where: Hall outside the Cruz's room
When: backdated to last Thursday night after their arrival
Rating: probably PG max
Status: Incomplete
Sam was getting changed into something that wasn't quite so grease stained now that he was done in the garage for the day, and the twins had bounced out into the hallway to look for Cooper while they waited. He'd promised to take them and the dog for a walk down to the lake shore after, and help them look for animal tracks in the snow and slush near the bank, which meant they had to find the dog first, obviously.
They'd expected him to maybe be holed up next door with Jay or Jeb, or maybe one more door down with their sisters, but when they got into the hall they heard the unmistakable 'tick tick tick' of nails on hardwood...coming from the room to the other side of the one they shared with Sam. The door was closed, so they figured poor Coop must have gotten himself locked in somehow. Obviously the situation needed to be remedied.
"Race you!" Annie announced, darting for the door with Lew a heartbeat behind due to the late start.
"No fair!"
It wasn't like it was a long trip for their door to that one and she was already there and throwing it open by the time he complained. "Coop-" she started, ready to chastise the good-natured mutt, then stopped in surprise at the sight of the room's actual occupants, Lewis running right into her back and knocking her into the room.
"Oh." She blinked, eyes going wide, and elbowed Lewis to get him to back off a bit. "We didn't know anyone was in here." She glanced from one child to another to the much older boy and the big white dog presiding over it all...and back to the other kids. Girls. Lots of them. Close to their age, even.
"Hi!" Lewis piped up suddenly from behind her, evading another elbow to step up next to her and grin. "I'm Lew an' this is Annie an' we live right next door an' we didn't know no one new was here an' do you wanna play?" he babbled enthusiastically.
