Steve: "Thanks for the warning. I have to go back to work now. See you later, Olivia!" And with that i turned and waved to Olivia, who was stepping inside the elevator. I headed to the Air Force Base to get to work.
Juliet: I put my key in the lock and turned it, and i opened the door to a fully furnished apartment. In the background i heard a mother asking a girl where she went and if she made friends.

Olivia: I meet my mom in the hallway. She says she's going grocery shopping and she'll meet me back at the apartment in an hour. "So," she asks. "Did you make any friends?"
"Um, yeah...but I don't think he's exactly what you were picturing...I met a guy named Steve. He's much older than me. He's nice though!"
"Olivia, I don't know if I feel comfortable with you-"
"Oh, come on I'm always talking to Mr. Spock and Doctor McCoy. Doctor McCoy must be at least a hundred!"
My mom laughs but nods. "I guess it's fine. I'll see you later." She ruffles my hair affectionately and steps into the elevator. I take my key and step into my apartment.

Janice: A nice-looking young man asks me if I need help with my grocery bags. I smile at him. "Yes, please." We walk up to my apartment. I open the door and Olivia is lying back on the sofa, both booted feet kicked up on a pile of cardboard boxes, and watching the TV (which is settled on the floor).

Olivia: A couple hours later, my mom opens the door and she walks in, followed by Steve with his arms full of grocery bags. "Hi Steve!" I glance at my mom, who looks surprised but approving. I switch off the TV and start unloading groceries.

Steve: Olivia walks over and starts unloading groceries. I ask Mrs. McAvoy if she needs any more help, to which she declines. "Oh, before you go, Mr. Reese, I was wondering if you would come over for dinner tomorrow night?" Mrs. McAvoy asked. To which I responded with, "Mrs. McAcoy, please call me Steve.I am not sure if I can make it for dinner..." Olivia looked at me with pleading eyes to come for dinner. "...but, I will make an effort to come."

Olivia: "Nice! Hopefully see you later, Steve!" I wave to him as he takes his leave. Then I finish helping my mom unload the groceries and head over to my room, where only a mattresses and about nine boxes are located. I sigh and put my hands on my hips. "I guess I'd better get started." I mumble to myself, kneeling down and opening one of the parcels. The first thing I take out is my two pictures - one of me and my dad and mom, and one of my best friend, Elaina, and I. "Gosh, I miss you a lot, Elaina." I make a note to myself to call her later tonight.

Steve: I leave the McAvoy apartment and head down to my own to start unpacking my boxes of stuff. Quite a few of the boxes are filled with all the books I own.

Steve: The next morning, I head to work. I get loaded down with paperwork and aircraft testings. At around 4:00 P.M., I tell the company clerk, Corporal Reily, that I am leaving for the day. I get into my truck and head towards Portsmouth.

Steve: I pulled into the apartment building parking lot and got out of my truck. I walked inside the building and went into my apartment. I changed out of my flying suit and into black jeans and a dark green shirt. I pushed the elevator button and waited for it to come down. In I went and out I went when I arrived in the fourth floor. I knocked on Olivia's apartment door.....

Olivia: I hear a knock at the door. Quickly I run over to the television - still on the floor - and run over to answer the door. Or at least, I try to run. The skirt that my mom has forced me to wear hinders me. I sigh to myself. I HATE skirts!! I reach the door and open it. "Hi, Steve! Come on in!" I say.

Steve: Olivia answers the door and invites me in. I enter and hand Mrs. McAvoy a hostess gift, A tulip plant. She thanks me and introduces me to Mr. McAvoy. "So, you're a pilot, eh?" he says,"Olivia has told me everything she knows about you." "Yes, Mr. McAvoy, i am a pilot." We start talking about different things until Mrs. McAvoy calls out saying dinner is ready. We walk into the dining room and all sit down......

Olivia: We all sit down at the table. I look out at the food. Mmmm...green bean casserole, homemade lemonade AND iced tea, and garlic mashed potatoes. "So if you're a pilot, this might be interesting to you." I say to Steve as I heap mashed potatoes onto my plate. "My dad and my mom used to work at NASA."
