The morning passed without much incident and soon the time came to prepare for the party. Jon had spent nearly all morning preparing food and nibbles and was now out in the very spacious back garden laying the table. The garden was about half the size of a football pitch, with high wooden fencing around the edge. On either side there was a gate leading into a small alley between each house.
Because it was so warm out he was wearing a navy blue one-piece swim suit and a pink tie-dye sarong, along with white open toed wedges. Linda was sitting on a garden chair wearing a pair of tan shorts, and an open Hawaiian shirt, giving a rather revealing view of her still ample breasts, although like her face, there was already a dark shadow of stubble growing. Karyn was sitting across from her, wearing a pair of red board shorts and a nirvana t-shirt, she was deeply engrossed in a game on a hand-held console. Sarah trotted past them on all fours, her tongue lolling out of her mouth as she panted. She lay down next to Mikey who was on a sun-lounger next to the large pool at the far end of the garden. He was wearing a pink thong-bikini set, and had his headphones in. His nails were painted a cherry red and he was wearing large pink rimmed sunglasses. Susan was happily running around with two toy planes.
No sooner had Jon finished laying the table, there was a knock on the gate leading to Number 37, and a young sounding voice bellowed out a loud "Howdy Neighbors!"
Linda went and opened the latch and allowed a group of three into the garden. John recognized two of them easily. His 8 year old cousin Sally strode confidently in dressed in smart jeans, and a casual men's shirt. She was flanked by Jon's father Richard who was wearing a white summer dress and flip-flops, on his head was a large beige sun hat. The third in was Mikey's teacher Lydia Warren, was wearing a pair of black 3 'Œ length shorts, a white vest and dark shades, there was the faint trace of a dark goatee forming on her chin. Jon blinked for a few a seconds while his Nanos updated his memory. He now knew these people as Mr Steven Gordon, the slightly lecherous Texan who owned the local shopping mall, his wife Rochelle, a petit and shy young French woman, and their son Lucas, a renowned trouble maker and skater punk. Sally strode up to Jon and gave him a firm slap on the behind.
"Food looks good, hope we're not too early" She said, her voice already taking on a slight accent. Jon shivered involuntarily for a second.
"Not at all Steven, help yourself." He said, with polite smile.
"And make yourself comfortable" Linda added.
"Don't mind if ah do" Sally beamed as she unbuttoned her shirt, and removed her jeans, revealing a pair of speedo's underneath. Even with the Nanos Jon was surprised to see a considerable bulge in the small girls crotch.
"I know, some of us were just lucky to change in the right areas quickly" Sally laughed loudly pulling a cigar from her jeans and lighting it. Jon turned his head away and blushed slightly. Thankfully there was a knock on the gate leading to the alley between 38 and 39.
