Midge Meets Jake's New Neighbor

“Hey Jake!” called Midge as she came through the gate into the front yard. She strolled up the sidewalk to the porch.

“Hi Midge,” greeted Jake. “You are early this morning.”

“I know,” said Midge. “My owner left for work an hour earlier this morning. I think she has meeting at work this morning. I heard her talking to someone from her office on the phone last night.”

“It's always good to see you,” said Jake. “I think Booker-T and Misty are coming soon so we can go to the park to play.”

“Okay,” said Midge.

“Did you see Booker-T and Misty this morning?” asked Jake.

“No,” said Midge. “It was early so they might have been sleeping.”

“Do you want some of my breakfast?” asked Jake. “I will share some with you.”

Missing Misty

“Hi Midge!” called Booker-T as he hurried up the sidewalk to the front porch where Midge was sitting in the porch swing.

“Hey Booker-T,” said Midge. “What are you doing this morning?”

“Aren't you going to Jake's house today?” asked Booker-T.

“Yes,” said Midge. “I am waiting for Misty.”

“I was just at Misty's house,” said Booker-T. “I didn't see her there.”

“Oh,” said Midge. “She told me last night she wanted to walk to Jake's with me.”

Midge sees Aliens Again

Midge came running along the sidewalk and started through the gate into the front yard at Jakes and slid on some dirt on the sidewalk. She hurried to her feet and ran for the porch. “Jake, Jake!” called Midge as she ran up the steps.

“Whoa!” said Jake. “Slow down Midge. What are you running for?”

“Jake!” said Midge trying to catch her breath.

“Breathe deep Midge,” said Jake. “And take your time. You are out of breath.”

“I know Jake,” said Midge trying to slow her breathing down so Jake could understand what she was saying.

Misty talks about Jobs

“Good morning Misty,” called Booker-T as he hurried up the sidewalk and through the gate where he found Misty sitting on the swing.
“Hi Booker-T,” greeted Misty. “You are up early today.”

“My owner had to go to town early today so we got up an hour earlier than usual,” said Booker-T.

“That is good,” said Misty. “I am always awake early except on Sundays.”

“You sleep late on Sundays?” asked Booker-T.
