MAGGIE LOOKED AT SALLY, SHE LOOKED TOTALLY DIFFERENT.  SHE SHOWERED

CLEAN CLOTHES AND HER HAIR WAS NO NO LONGER LOOKING LIKE A RAT'S NEST.

"MORNING SALLY, YOU LOOK NICE THIS MORNING."  MAGGIE SAID

"THANK YOU."  SALLY SAID AS SHE PLACED A PLATE OF EGGS AND BACON IN FRONT

OF MAGGIE AND MICHAEL.

"THE TOWN IS BUZZING ABOUT YOU AND MICHAEL.  A FAMOUS WRITER AND PROFFESIONAL

SURFER.  THE NEXT IT COUPLE.  I AM AT YOUR SERVICE.  ANYTHING YOU WANT OR NEED, 

JUST ASK.  SALLY SAT DOWN AND WATCHED THEM EAT.

MAGGIE ATE, BUT WASN'T SURE ABOUT SALLY.  "DID YOU BRING IN MY TYPEWRITER AND 

TOTE BAG?" MAGGIE ASKED.

"I PUT IT IN THE STUDY."

 "THANK YOU"

MAGGIE, NOT COMFORTABLE PEOPLE TOUCHING HER THINGS

"YUO HOO"

"THAT WILL BE LOIS.  SHE IS THE REALTOR YOU TALKED TO."  MICHAEL SAID.  "A BIT TO EARLY 

TO DEAL WITH HER.  COME ON IN!"

LOIS WALKED IN.  "I AM SO SORRY I WAS NOT HERE TO GREAT YOU, YET YOU ARE EARLY,

THE HOUSE IS NOT READY.  WHAT IS SALLY DOING HERE?"

"SHE LIVES HERE." MAGGIE SAID

"NO SHE DOESN'T AND MICHAEL, WHY ARE YOU NOT WORKING?  THE MTERIALS YOU 

ORDERED, ARE HERE."  LOIS RAMBLED ON.

WHY ARE YOU HERE, I HAVE RENTED THIS HOUSE?"  MAGGIE ASKED

" THERE IS SOME PAPER THAT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED AND WELL, I WAS JUST

MAKING SURE YOU WERE ALIVE OR I WOULD HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER RENTER"  LOIS

SAID.

I TRIED BUT THE OCEAN SPIT ME BACK ONTO THE BEACH, WHO KNOWS, IT IS STILL

EARLY."  MAGGIE SAID.

LOIS WAS FLUSSTERED AND WALKED OUT.

MAGGIE LAUGHED.  "DO NEED TO GO TO TOWN, CAN I WALK THERE?"

"I'LL TAKE YOU, GIVE THE LOCALS SOMRTHING TO TALK ABOUT"  MICHAEL SAID

"I'LL GET MY WAGON TO HOLD EVERYTHING ON THE WAY BACK."  SALLY SAID

"WAGON?"  MAGGIE LAUGHED

"YOU KNOW LITTLE RED WAGON, THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN"  MICHAEL SAID

"LEAD THE WAY."  MAGGIE SAID
