    A Birthday Surprise
    -------------------

    Chapter 1
    ---------

    	Hiram Peters woke up and felt his bed. It was dry, then he felt the
    diapers he was wearing and it was wet. He smiled and thought, "I think I'll
    enjoy wearing diapers."
    	He picked up his MAD magazine that was on his nightstand and relaxed
    before his mom came into his room. His mom came in and said, "Morning, honey.
    How did you sleep?"
    	Hiram said, "I slept like a baby. I am glad that I can wear diapers at
    night." He was laying down when his mom started to untape his diapers. He said,
    "Mom, what are you doing?"
    	"I'm changing your diapers," his mom said. "Take a shower and get
    dressed."
    	Hiram went to the shower and got ready for the day. In a few minutes,
    Hiram, dressed for school went to the kitchen for breakfast and said, "Morning,
    dad. Hi, Ira, Zac and Ezekiel. Did you enjoy it?"
    	Ira said, though a mouthful of Froot Loops, "Hi. Yes, it was ok."
    	Ezekiel, pouring a bowl of Apple Jacks said, "It was ok. Mom, Dad, please
    don't tell my friends."
    	Zac, pouring a glass of Orange Juice, said, "I like it. I still don't
    believe it."

    	Mr. Peters said, "You guys, we are going to be moving. We are building a
    nice house on Yuquintaugh Lake. We want you to know that we bought 19 acres on a
    point. We own a cove where we'll have our own beach."
    	Zac said, "Cool! When are we moving?"
    	Hiram said, "Yuquintaugh Lake? Dad, I'm going to miss my friends here! I
    like them."
    	Ira and Ezekiel looked at each other, but didn't say anything.
    	Mr. Peters said, "We should have the house built in 3 months. Besides us,
    Hiram, you won't miss Jeff. His dad is buying 2 acres in the same area. Jack and
    I decided to sell Peters-Nash Plastics, and we both wanted to start a small
    business up at Yuquintaugh. We bought a company called Yuquintaugh Furniture. We
    renamed it Yuquintaugh Furniture and Interiors."
    	"So Jeff is moving to the lake, too?" Hiram asked.
    	Mrs. Peters said, "Time for you to get going to school. We can discuss it
    some more when you get home."
    	Hiram, Zac, Ira and Ezekiel all went to school while Mr. Peters called up
    Jack Nash, his partner and dad of Jeff. Mrs. Peters was creating some nursery
    style wallpaper and also talking to the seamstress of Yuquin Diapers, a small
    business that YFI just bought. You see YFI will be a TB/AB business.
    	Hiram, who is 10 and in the 5th grade was walking to school with his
    brothers, Zac, who is 9 in 4th grade, Ira, 7 and in second and Ezekiel, who is 6
    and in first grade. Soon Jeff and his brothers - Justin, who is Zac's friend and
    Jared at 7, who is Ezekiel's friend - came up and Jeff started to say, "Did you
    hear that we are moving? We are going to Yuquintaugh Lake."
    	Hiram said, "Yes, we heard. Jeff, I need to talk to you after school, want
    to go to Dairy Barn and have an ice cream cone?"
    	Jeff said, "Sure." Jeff looked at Justin and whispered something in his
    ear. Justin blushed and said, "I'll catch up to you, Zac!" Justin went behind a
    bush and pulled up his pants and tucked in his shirt. He then ran up to Zac.
    	After school, Jeff, Jared, Zac, Ezekiel, Ira and Hiram were waiting for
    Justin who came out a few minutes later. They all walked home but Justin was
    looking at the ground. Zac said, "Justin, don't worry about it. I'm still your
    friend."
    	Jeff said, "What happened, Justin?"
    	Justin started to cry, so Zac put his arm around him and said, "I wear
    diapers too, Justin."
    	Justin sniffed and said, "You do?"
    	Zac said, "Last night was my first time. But I would love to wear them
    more."
    	Hiram said, "Jeff, are you shocked that Justin wears diapers? I do, too.
    Since Justin had a bad day, I decided to tell you now."
    	Jeff said, "Let's go home. I want to show you something, Hiram."
    	They all walked to the Nash's home. When they got to the house, Jeff
    opened the door and said, "Mom, we are home. Hiram, come over into the computer
    room."
    	In a few minutes, Mrs. Nash came into the kitchen and said, "How was
    school? Hello, Hiram, Zac, Kiel and Ira. Justin, what's wrong?"
    	Justin sniffed and said, "I was laughed at because of my diapers. They
    showed." Benton and Lester said that I am a baby."
    	Jeff said, "Mom, can I show Hiram the thing on the Internet?"

    Chapter 2
    ---------

    	At Yuquintaugh Lake, Stiofan O'Ryan, his brothers, Caolan and Lasairian,
    and their friends - Steven Atwood, his brother Brant, their stepbrother Scott
    Eoakes and Dion Trypanis were waiting for the school bus. Soon, they saw a truck
    carrying some construction equipment coming down the road.
    	Steven said, "Someone just brought 17 acres surrounding Pine Cove. Mom and
    dad said that the buyer will be building a 5 bedroom home. They are going to
    move here year round." He looked over to the 4 homes on Kingfisher Circle being
    built and said, "I wonder if any of these houses will have families living here
    year round."
    	Stiofan said, "You know the dome home on Crossbill Drive. The family just
    moved in yesterday. I was talking to one of the kids there. They moved from
    Connecticut."
    	Eight more kids, Dion's twin sisters Stefana and Kali, Dion's younger
    brother, Kyros, his two friends - Evan Jacobsen and Ron Palmer, Janet Molley,
    and Mike and Logan Hall, came running up. Kyros was crying.
    	Brant said, "What's wrong, Kyros?"
    	Kyros sniffed and said nothing. Soon, the talk turned back to the homes
    being built in Yuquintaugh Lake, which is billed as a resort. Soon the bus
    stopped to pick them up.
    	When they got on the bus, Stiofan and Dion sat on the same seat. Stiofan
    asked, "Why is your brother crying?" He looked down the road - Yuquintaugh Shore
    Road, the main; though dirt; road at the lake. He saw another house being built,
    with a family discussing something with the contractor. He took a double take,
    the 2 boys, about 9 and 7, were in diapers.
    	Dion saw the same thing, and looked at Kyros. Dion didn't say anything,
    but Stiofan should know. Being new at the lake - a 450 home
    vacation/resort/year-round living community - the Trypanises moved in 5 months
    ago - Stiofan invited Dion to sleepover, but he always refused. Dion decided to
    tell Stiofan -after school today.
    	The school bus went and picked off more kids at the 3 other bus stops at
    the lake. Stiofan greeted some of the kids and looked at Dion, who usually say
    hello to the kids, but he didn't, and asked,"Dion, what's wrong?"
    	Dion looked at Stiofan and said, "I got to talk to you after school. I
    want you know that I considered you a friend. I would like you to know, that I'd
    love to sleepover, but I can't."
    	Stiofan whispered to Dion, "Are you a bedwetter, Dion? I am and it sure
    seems you are one."
    	Dion said, "Yes, we, my brothers and I are bedwetters. You are a bedwetter
    and you still invite people over to sleep?"
    	Stiofan said, "I wear diapers 24/7, so does my brothers. My parents are
    giving my brothers and me a normal life even if we are incontinent."
    	Dion said, "You are? I just saw those kids at the contemporary being built
    and they looked they were wearing diapers. They looked like our age."
    	Stiofan said, "Come over after school, Dion." Stiofan's family owns 6
    acres surrounding a cove. They bought the land, so the boys can wear diapers
    around the house, without any interference from neighbors. Of course, with the
    community being built, the people moving into the development are LIBERTARIAN.
    	Dion said, "Sure, I'd like that!" Dion smiled at Stiofan and then said,
    "Can I see them?"
    	Stiofan said, "Sure, I'll show you them at school." He smiled at Dion.

    Chapter 3
    ---------

    	After the bus made two more stops, it started towards the regional school
    complex. At the complex, where Warbler Hill Elementary, Lakes Regional Middle
    School and Lakes Regional High are located, Dion and Stiofan decided to go to
    the gym. Stiofan said, "Really want to see them?"
    	Dion said, "Yes. I do. I guess I should try them."
    	Stiofan pulled down his pants and his plastic pants and said, "Wearing
    Diapers is fun. Lets meet at Point Island after school." Stiofan said about a
    popular island that has a rope swing.
    	Dion said, "I'll try. They are cute."
    	During school, Dion was thinking about Stiofan's diapers and wondered if
    Stiofan would show up at Point in just his diapers. Dion was thinking about
    Goldeneye Island, which was in Waterlily Cove. Dion thought, "Goldeneye is never
    used, but it is a nice island." The reason why it is secluded was that the cove,
    with stumps surrounding the inlet, is hard to enter with a boat. "I hope mom'll
    let me use my Blast today." Dion looked at the clock.
    	At the Nashs' house, Jeff showed Hiram some of the Teen Baby websites that
    are on the internet. Jeff showed Hiram '5 million friends', Deeker teenbaby site
    and DPF teen page.
    	Hiram looked at Jeff and said, "Wow. You mean there are sites for real
    bedwetters?" He looked around the room and saw Zac wasn't there. Neither was
    Justin.
    	Jeff said, "Justin and Zac must be in Justin's room."
    	Soon Justin, dressed in just diapers, and Zac came into the computer room.

    Chapter 4
    ---------

    	Zac and Justin went to looked at the 'Teen Baby' websites, but Zac glanced
    over at Justin in his diapers. In a few minutes, Jeff's mom came into the room
    and said, "Ready Jeff?"
    	Jeff looked at Hiram and said, "I have to do something, Hi." He looked at
    Zack and then Hiram and said, "I'm ready mom." He walked out of the room and
    said to his mom, "I think Zac and Hi would like to be diapered, too. Think we
    could have them sleep over tomorrow."
    	Mrs. Nash said, "Kiel is already in a diaper. He and Jared are playing in
    Jared's room. Zac would love to be in a diaper since he was watching Justin when
    I was putting him into his diapers."
    	"I think I want to wear just my diapers and my train printed plastic pants
    for now," Jeff said.
    	Hiram looked at Justin and said, "Do you like them, Just?"
    	Justin said, "Yes, I do. I love wetting them. I hate those disposables I
    wear at school. Cloth is better."
    	Meanwhile, at BurgerLand, three of Justin's classmates were hanging out
    eating a burger. Brandon Rielly laughed and said, "Did you see Nash? What a
    fucking baby. He needs to be in Preschool."
    	Harlan Tyrer, who was a bedwetter and wears diapers to bed, said,
    "Brandon, you are a JERK at times. Why don't you stop making fun of people and
    see them as people. Sometimes, I don't know why I am your friend."
    	David Immer said, "Harlan, you are right. Brandon, you know that Justin is
    a smart kid -"
    	Brandon interrupted him and said, "Yes, he is, for a fucking pants-wetting
    baby. I thought it was funny. I hate Justin."
    	Harlan looked at David and shook his head. He then said, "I'm going to
    ride over to the pond. See you in school tomorrow." Harlan got up and walked
    away, he got on his bicycle and started to pedal.
    	David and Brandon finished eating their burger but didn't say anything.
    Brandon thought, "I hope I will never get caught wetting in school. I got to be
    careful. I don't want David to know I wet my bed."
    	David broke the silence and said, "Brandon, why don't you like Justin?"
    	Brandon said, "He is the teacher's pet and he knows the answers.
    Truthfully he is a good kid, but I don't know him all that much."
    	David said, "He is a good kid, Brandon. He said that you are nice, too. He
    would like to know you better."
    	Brandon said, "He does?"
    	David said, "Yes, I am thinking of having a sleepover with Justin, Harlan
    and you at my house. Would you like to?"
    	Brandon said, "I should ask my mom if I can."

    Chapter 5
    ---------

    	At BurgerLand, Dave and Brandon finished their burger and went outside.
    Dave and Brandon were talking about their homework. Brandon was thinking about
    the invite but he wouldn't go - he would be humiliated if he was found out he
    was a bedwetter - and he didn't want that.
    	Dave said, "What's wrong?"
    	Brandon said, "Nothing, just thinking if I can make it to your sleepover.
    He then remembered that his mom and her boyfriend, Dennis Bydalek, would be
    going out, so that means that he was saved. Brandon said dejectedly, "I don't
    think I can. Mom and Dennis are going out."
    	At the Nash's, Jeff and Hi were diapered and came down to the computer
    room. Jeff then went to his website - 'BabyJeff's Nursery' and went to the chat
    room. 3 boys - TBGreg, BabySam and DLuver - were in the chat. TBGreg
    typed:'Jeff, did you get my story part? Deeker didn't get it. Did you?'
    	Jeff typed: 'Yes, it will be posted tomorrow. I have 3 new stories. How's
    your brother?'
    	TBGreg typed: 'He is good. He can't believe that bedwetter, teen babies
    and diaper loving teens are plentiful.'

    Chapter 6
    ---------

    	At the house being built on Yuquintaug Shore Road, the two boys, Hunter
    and Phoenix Hutton were looking around. The boys were just in diapers, so their
    mom came up to them. "Hunter, Phoenix," Pat Hutton said, "I want you to go into
    the van and take a nap. After your nap, I'll change you and put on your swim
    diapers, so you can swim."
    	Hunter said, "Okay mommy. Do you think kids around here will be my
    friends? I love diapers, but I hope I won't be kidded. I'm going to miss Troy."
    	"Troy will be up here, Hunter," his mom said. It is going to be a surprise
    for Hunter and Phoenix to know that their friends - Troy and Geoff - will be
    moving to. Mr. Hutton and Mr. Manson, Troy and Geoff's dad, just bought a marine
    business, 5 miles from the lake, on a busy street leading to a popular lake. The
    marine business, Dynamic Marine, is well known, and is the area's biggest dealer
    for AquaDyne. "We invited them up."
    	"I just hope that some kids here will like me," Hunter said. "I wish we
    could get a boat. This is a nice lake. Phoenix, lets take our nap."
    	Phoenix said, "Geoff can visit, too? I am going to miss Geoff." Phoenix
    and Hunter went into the van, which had a bed in the back. In the van, Phoenix
    said, "Think you'll like it here?"
    	Hunter said, "Yes, don't worry, Phoenix. No one will bother you, here. You
    know we aren't the only one who likes diapers. Maybe it isn't accepted, but who
    cares." He snuggled with Phoenix.
    	Back in the Hutton's old town, Troy and Geoff, slammed the door at their
    home. Mrs. Sue Manson, their mom, said, "Don't slam the door! I just put Matt
    down for a nap. Did you have a bad day at school?" Sue when into the kitchen and
    saw that Geoff had his shirt torn and Troy had a black eye. "What happened?" Sue
    asked.
    	Geoff looked at Troy and sniffed. Troy said, "We wish Hunter and Phoenix
    were here, mom. Dan was beating up Geoff, so I decided to pull Dan off Troy. Dan
    than punched me in the eyes." Geoff and Troy doesn't know they are moving, as
    their parents just bought a brand new house three lots down from the Hutton's.
    Troy said, "I hope Hunter won't forget me when he meets friends there."
    	Sue said, "Was it Dan Bigley again?" She saw them nod their head, so Sue
    said, "I'm going to call his mom and the school. You two, I want you to take a
    nap. Let's get you changed." Sue led them to their bedroom and changed their
    diapers. Soon, Troy and Geoff were asleep.
    	While they were napping, Sue was talking to Dan's mom. Dan's mom, Alison
    Knowlan, was a single mom, but Sue knew Dan was a bedwetter when she met Alison
    in the diapers section of the local supermarket. Sue knew Alison was having a
    hard time with Dan, when his dad left for a 'bimbo'. Alison sighed and said,
    "Dan'll give me more ache today. I'm going to lose my job in 2 months. They are
    closing this store. I guess I should punish him with DIAPERS 24/7. Does Troy and
    Geoff know that he sleepwets?"
    	Sue said, "No, they don't. I think they would accept Danny in DIAPERS.
    Alison, they are closing the store? I'm sorry. What will you do?"
    	Alison said, "I can be transferred to any stores. They are closing all of
    the stores in this area, so I'll have to move. They would want me to manage a
    store in Strefford, but I'm not sure of how Danny would react if we move to the
    boonies." Strefford is the town that Yuquintaugh Lake is part of. Strefford is
    the big city in the area, yet, it is a small town.
    	Sue and Alison talked on the phone about Strefford, telling Alison about
    the area. Before they hung up, Alison decided to diaper disicpline Danny and
    Alison might move to Strefford. Alison said, before she hung up, "Thanks Sue.
    I'll bring Danny over to apologize to Troy and Geoff. I wish I could find a
    babysitter for Danny."
    	Sue smiled to herself, and remembered an old flower, arts and craft and
    nursery store that was for sale near the lake. She has a certificate in early
    childhood education, so she might buy it to start a nursery for diapered kids.

    Chapter 7
    ---------

    	At the Nash's, Jeff typed: 'Greg, tell him that my buddy is here in
    diapers. We both are in diapers along with our brothers.' Jeff looked at Hiram
    and smiled.
    	TBGreg typed: 'Does he get babied? I wonder if he would.' Greg continued
    to tell about his life as a baby.
    	Hiram, looking at the screen, said, "He must me lying! I mean no one would
    be babied by their parents. He got a crib?"
    	Jeff said, "I'll show you something, Hiram." He then typed, 'Greg, I'll
    BBL going to show my buddy a few websites and I got to show him something here.'
     TBGreg typed, 'He didn't believe I'm a baby? I shouldn't be surprised. I guess
    if I wasn't babied, I wouldn't believe it, either. Did you see the new story on
    'Bedtime Baby Story' website? It is cool.'
    	Jeff typed, 'I'll post your story part later, Greg. I saw that story it is
    cool.' Jeff looked at Hiram than said, "How is it? Enjoying being in diapers and
    knowing other people who wear diapers. You never been to my bedroom, Hiram."
    	At the Knowlan's, Alison yelled, "Daniel Christopher, get your butt in
    here now!" She wanted to start diaper disciplining right now. 'I think Danny'll
    will enjoy moving to the lake,' Alison thought.
    	Dan came inside and said, "Yea?" Danny knew sooner or later his mom would
    get real angry at him, but he knew she would just punish him for a day.
    	Alison said, "Daniel, I think you been a bully long enough. I want you to
    go into your bedroom and strip." Alison saw the paddle and took it down from the
    wall. Alison saw that Dan didn't move, so she said, "Move! I'll be there in 3
    minutes, if you aren't ready I'll double the punishment."
    	Dan knew she was going to paddle him, but he went to his room and took off
    his shirt and jeans. Alison went to her bedroom and picked up the pair of
    locking plastic pants and disposable diapers. 'I think he'll learn NOT to be a
    bully with these on him." She then went to his room.
    	Alison went to Dan's room and saw him in just his t-shirt and underwear,
    so she said, "Daniel Christopher, I told you to strip. You just increased your
    punishment." Alison grabbed his briefs and pulled them down to his ankles. His
    mom grabbed his desk chair and sat in it. She looked at Dan and told him to lie
    across her lap.
    	Dan didn't move, until his mom said, "I'm getting angry. Want me to double
    your punishment?" Dan climbed on her lap and he knew he was in serious trouble.
    	At Yuquintaug Lake, Dion and Stiofan got off the bus and Dion said, "See
    you at Point Island in 10 minutes. I hope we can sleepover."
    	Stiofan looked at Dion and smiled, but didn't say anything. Stiofan turned
    to go to his house, a log cabin style split level, while Dion went to his house,
    an A framed house with an addition built on. Stiofan opened the door and said,
    "Mom, I'm home." Soon, his brothers were at the door and went into the house.
    	Their mom said, "Do you need to be changed?" She came into the living room
    from the kitchen and looked at her sons.
    	Stiofan said, "I need to be changed. I'm going to talk to Dion at Point
    Island, so I'm going to wear just diapers only. Did you know Dion sleepwets? I
    asked him this morning. On the bus we saw some boys in diapers at a new home
    about a quarter mile from here."
    	Their mom laughed and said, "I think you'll see more boys in diapers,
    Stio. You guys are happier in diapers then wet pants. Stio, I'm glad you talked
    to Dion. I hope he'll sleepover someday. Are you going to show him your big boy
    bedroom? You all get upstairs and I'll change you."
    	Sue Mason decided to talk to the realtor about the old store. Sue wanted
    to help diapered boys and she decided to let Dan be in the school. 'I think
    he'll love being babied,' she thought to herself, as she waited for the realtor
    who was the agent of the store.
    	The realtor, Ryan Carter, got on the phone and told Sue about the store.
    She wanted some classroom space and some play space and she was relieved when
    Ryan said that it was an old discount and food store. Ryan gave Sue the footage
    then the acreage. Sue was surprised when Ryan gave her the asking price, which
    was below what she thought. Sue said, "I'll talk to my husband and I'll call you
    tomorrow. I think with some landscaping, it'll be great for what I'm looking
    for. Thank you, Mr. Carter." She hung up the phone.
    	Sue knew what she wanted - a day care center and school for diapered boys.
    She started to draw a plan for the center.

    	Outside of BurgerLand, Dave and Brandon were still chatting. Brandon knew
    he would be laughed at if his friend found out. Dave said, "I'll call you about
    it. We'd have fun."
    	Brandon thought, 'Yes, and I would be made fun of.' Brandon said, "I'm
    going home, so I'll see you later." Brandon got on his bike and started towards
    his home. Brandon was new in town, so he didn't know that his friend - all 7 of
    his best friends were sleepwetters or incontinent. Brandon knew he loved the
    GoodNites he wears.
    	Dave got on his bike and rode to the pond to meet up with Harlan. Dave
    thought about the sleepover and wondered if Harlan would help him. 'I bet
    Brandon is a sleepwetter,' Dave thought. 'I think he'd enjoy getting diapered
    and babied. I bet Brandon would be surprised at us.' Dave rode his bike down the
    path and saw Harlan in his diapers.
    	Dave rode up to him and said, "Hi cutie. Need something to suck?"
    	Harlan smiled and said, "Coming swimming? I just had to get away from
    Brandon. I'm wondering if we should be Brandon's friend. I'm thinking of saying
    that he isn't my friend."
    	Dave said, "I think he is a sleepwetter, Harlan. I just asked him if he
    wanted to sleep over and he was unsure to accept. I think I might invite us
    sleepwetters and Brandon to it. I know you'll be there." Dave kissed Harlan.
    	Harlan kissed Dave and said, "I'll be there. I just hope it'll work.
    Brandon is 97% nice, but it is that 3% that is gets me."
    	Dave said, "I think he is scared of being found out. I think if he found
    out that we are happy with diapers -- and being babied, he will be a great
    friend." Dave took off his clothes and jumped into the water.
    	Allison paddled Danny and said, "I was going to paddled you 5 times, but I
    am going to do it 10 times, Danny. I think you are getting to be a bully, so it
    is time to stop." Alison stopped paddling and said, "Danny, will you obey me?"
    	Danny was crying and sniffed, but did say anything. Allison hit Danny and
    said, "Speak to me or I'll give you more paddling."
    	Danny said, "Y-y-y-y-es, mom, I'll listen to you."
    	Alison said, "Lay on your bed, so I can diaper you."
    	Danny got up and laid on his stomach on his bed. Alison said, "On your
    back, honey."
    	Danny didn't want to show his mom his erection, but he got on his back.
    Alison put on the diaper, then the plastic pants. "For the next month, you'll be
    in diapers. We are going to have you apologize."
    	Danny looked at his mom. "With me in these?" he yelled. "I don't think
    so!"
    	Alison, paddled him and said, "You better obey me. I had enough of you
    bullying. You are going to apologize. You better get used to diapers. Do you
    think you are going to be a bully? You aren't."
    	Danny said, "Mom, I'll apologize. Can I wear pants there?"
    	"No," his mom said. "You wanted to take theirs pants off, maybe they
    should see you WITHOUT pants." Alison didn't have to work tomorrow, so she
    decided to baby Danny tomorrow. 'I think you'll love being my baby boy,' she
    thought.
    	Danny knew his mom was serious, so Danny said, "OK." He didn't want to,
    but he'll get them back tomorrow. 'Thank goodness,' he thought, 'I can tell them
    they made a mistake by telling on me. BIG MISTAKE! They won't forget it.'
    	Alison said, "You ready, Baby Danny?" She took out her cell phone and took
    a picture of Danny in his diapers. "Time to go. Hold mommy's hand."
    	Danny looked at his mom and she still was holding the paddle, so Danny
    took his mom's hand. They walked down the stairs and out to the car. 'I got to
    get a car seat,' Alison thought.
    	Danny got into the car and thought about telling his mom that he is sorry.
    "Mom," Danny said. "Why are you doing this?"
    	Alison said, "Danny, you are becoming a bully and I think you will be
    better. I had bad news today and you aren't helping making me happy." She sighed
    and said, "The store is closing, Danny. They offered me a new store so I might
    take it."
    	Danny looked at his mom and thought about his mom. 'Oh no,' he thought. He
    looked at his mom and said, "Where is the store going to be? Are we going to
    move?"
    	"Yes," Alison said. "I got an offer to manage the Strefford store, Daniel.
    I think you need to make new friends."
    	"That's the boonies, mom," Danny said. "Why did they ask you to go there!
    It's stupid."
    	"There are 4 openings, Danny," Alison said. "Strefford is the biggest town
    where there's an opening. I will be home for you. I hope we can get a house on
    the lake." She looked at Danny and said, "I might let you have a boat."
    	Danny looked at his mom, but didn't say anything. Soon Danny said, "Mom,
    you'll let me have a boat?"
    	"If you are good, Danny. Yes," Alison replied. "But, you'll have to be
    nicer. I want you to be caring, love."
