Tara stuffed her medal-alarm-clock into her rucksack and sighed. Her mother, Mrs Bailey had decided to move houses. She said that this old house wasn't too good, it not only seemed like it was going to crumble to pieces, it was also far from school and Horseland, where Tara learned horse riding.
Anna, mean-whilst, was watching TV with tears in her eyes, she said that this TV was the biggest she'd ever seen! Mr and Mrs Bailey had finished packing and were now happily snoring away. Tara put her last belonging, including her riding things, into her suitcase. She walked across the landing and woke her parents up. Mr Bailey sat up and stretched, waking Mrs Bailey during this process. "Well, let's get the things downstairs. We'll be leaving in the afternoon." Mr Bailey yawned and quickly found some clothes to wear. Mrs Bailey reached into her box and pulled out a grey dress, then turned to change.
When it got to the afternoon, Tara's eyes were red and puffy, sad about having to leave the house, thinking it would be unwanted and lonely. Anna nose was bright red and she had hugged the TV about a hundred times. Only Mr and Mrs Bailey were excited. They had had already put the luggage in their dark blue MOUNTAINEER. Tara climbed with a blank expression on her face. She helped Anna in, STILL with a blank expression on her face.
The ride seemed like it would never end until the car suddenly came to a halt. Tara felt the sudden jolt and sat up, desperate to get out and into the fresh air. Anna woke up with a start, but during her sleep, she still hadn't forgotten about moving. Tara pushed open the car door and jumped out of the car with Anna hot on her heels. The fresh air was lovely but now she would have to face the new house.
The new house was made of those tiny stones and the outside walls were painted white. Red roses climbed up the walls, decorating it, but also filling it with a feeling of nature. The door was painted a glossy red and the roof was painted with a darker shade of red. Trees and flowers surrounded the house. Tara and Anna gasped in amazement, both asking in unison "Is this our house?" . They stepped in.
The inside walls were a wonderful peachy color and the windows were shiny clean. Tara was shown her room and she thought it was beautiful. It wasn't like her rich friend's room but it was cosy. Tara smelled the wonderful scent of roses and knew immediately that she was going to love it here.
