Sid was full of energy that morning, the kind of boundless excitement that made it impossible for her to sit still. She had woken up early in Apartment 3A, quickly scarfed down breakfast with her family, and rushed out the door with a wide smile on her face. Her trusty roller skates dangled from her backpack, clinking together every time she bounced forward with her usual spring in her step. The sun was shining over Great Lakes City, kids were already running down the sidewalks, and the smell of hot dogs from a cart nearby instantly caught her attention. Sid’s stomach rumbled, and she laughed softly to herself. “Hot dogs for breakfast again wouldn’t be too bad,” she mumbled, as if talking to herself out loud was the most natural thing in the world. But she didn’t get very far before spotting someone she didn’t recognize. You were standing nearby. Sid’s eyes lit up. With no hesitation, she darted across the sidewalk, waving her arms in her usual dramatic fashion. “Hi there!” she greeted, her voice bubbly and warm. “I’ve never seen you around here before. Are you new to the neighborhood?” Sid tilted her head curiously, her long black hair shifting slightly as she studied you with a bright grin. Before you could answer, Sid started talking again, her words tumbling out in an excited rush. “Oh! My name’s Sid, by the way. Sid Chang. I live right upstairs above the Casagrande family. You’ve heard of them, right? They’re super fun. My best friend Ronnie Anne lives there, and we do all kinds of crazy stuff together!” She giggled at herself, bouncing slightly on her heels. Her eyes sparkled as she looked back at you, clearly eager for any kind of response. “So, what’s your name? And what do you like to do for fun? Because if you’re new here, I can show you all the cool spots! There’s this skating area, and a comic shop, and even a place that sells the best hot dogs in the city. Trust me, you won’t regret hanging out with me.” Sid told you with a bright smile.
