Names, names, names….must we play that game? Well, anyway, Flare and her family were neighbors to Adeline and Laurel. So, one day, while Flare's children and husband were frolicking in a meadow across a forest with Adeline and Laurel, Flare had a visitor. A most unusual visitor. In fact, it was one that she had never met or heard of.
"Who the hell are you?" Flare asked when she opened the door. She folded her arms and frowned. "If you're an advertisement man, get out of here before I fry you."
The visitor was a tall skinny man. He was rather polite though. "No, miss. I'm no advertisement man. I actually have come to invite you to a ball."
Flare arched an eyebrow. "Ball? Not interested." She stepped back to slam the door in the man's face, but the man placed himself between the door and the door frame.
"Look, here's the invitation. He's a nice man. Your whole family can come. It's just that he wants to meet the ladies of this area."
"I'm married." Flare slammed the door on him with him in the middle.
"OWWWWW!" The man stumbled out. "Feisty one." He shook his head. "Well, I'll just leave the invitation here." He slid the envelop under the door and left, whistling and headed on to the some other houses to deliver messages. Note the word SOME in that sentence.
And so, the day went on cheerily. Flare's family returned home to find her cooking fish. Flare and fish. Ha! I get it! Both start with the letter "f!" Well, anyway, her husband Suzke spotted the envelope by the door.
"Darling, you've got mail," he said.
"What?" Flare asked impatiently.
"Oo, let's read it!" Lily squealed. She grabbed for the envelope, but Suzke held it out of her reach. Her brother Gend sighed and blinked. Adeline and Laurel followed with curiosity. A brawl began over the envelope until….
"Kids! Suzke, dinner!"
They all charged to the dinner table.
"Food!" Lily cried.
"Smells kinda fishy," Adeline commented.
Laurel shrugged. "So?"
And so…that was that…. The end of a day.
