Arriving in walford

It was just another typical day in Walford when the Brockman family moved in and Karen was complaining of being hungry, so Pete told her that once they got everything unpacked, they would go to the queen vic to get something to eat.

"Can I get a beer?" Ben asked hopefully "or lager."

"No you can't because you are too young" Sue told him "you can get a cola if you want." karen then pointed out that ben mixed with Cola wasn't a good combination because the last time he drank some cola, it sent him on a sugar high and he broke her book shelf when he came charging into her room, thinking he was a bull.

"Ok, then we'll just have to keep ben away from the cola then" Sue pointed out. Ben then asked if he could have some beer again and Pete told him no this time. When they arrived at their new home, they got out of the car but accidently locked pete in and it took them at least fifteen minutes to realize that he was still in the car, tapping on the window.

"I am so sorry" Sue said as she let him out of the car " I guess where all just too excited." After they had finished unpacking, the Brockman's went over to the queen vic to get something to eat and Ben was still pestering for a beer.

"For the eighty millionth time, you cannot have some beer because you are underage" said pete as they sat down.

"But Jake drinks beer and he's under age" Ben pointed out "I saw him that time he was babysitting for me and karen. I wentt downstairs to get a drink and I saw him sat in the living room with his mates drinking cans of lager." Jake then denied it and made out that it was red bull he and his friends where drinking but Ben said he was pretty sure that it was lager he saw.

"Look can we all just sit and have a nice quiet family meal without any arguing please" Sue begged. They all sat down and a man in a flowery blouse came up to their table holding some menus.

"Welcome to the queen vic pub, my name is Alfie Moon and I will be your waiter for this evening" he said as he handed out the menus.

" What's this Sausage suprise?" karen asked as she browed through the menu.

"Ahh, it's like a stew thing that has Sausages in it" Alfie told her.

"Then why do you call it Sausage suprise if you already know what's in it because if you knew what was in it then it wouldn't be much of a suprise would it" karen pointed out "why don't you call it something like sausage stew or something?"

"Tell you what, why don't you see what's on the Children's menu?" Alfie suggested. Karen looked to see what was on the children's menu and asked for the chicken nuggets and peas.

"I will gladly tell the chef" Alfie replied with a humerous bow before asking the others what they wanted.

"Can I have the pancakes with melted butter and can you cut them into the shape of an explosion" Ben requested "and can you make some little pancake people with their body parts hanging off from the explosion."

"Ben" Sue hissed before apologizing to Alfie about her sons demand but he seemed to be ok about it and said he would try his best to make Ben's pancakes in the shape of an explosion. Jake then decided he was going to have what Karen was having whilst Pete and Sue decided they were going to try the sausage suprise. When the kids where having their lunch, Sue and Pete had to wait for their Sausage suprise because the woman, Jean Slater who was making the sausage suprise had accidently burned it and the Brockmans could see her stood at the other end of the room, flapping her arms around in a panic whilst Alfie was trying to calm her down, telling her that it was just an accident and not to worry about it.

"What is wrong with that lady?" Karen asked "she's doing this with her hands." karen then started imitating Jean's hand movements and Sue told her not to do that because it wasn't nice to imitate other people.

"But she was though" Karen protested "she was getting all fussy."

"Tell you what, here's five pounds, why don't you go and buy yourself some sweeties" Sue said, handing Karen a five pound note "but finish your dinner first." After Karen had finished her lunch, she went exploring round the square and as she skipped towards the minute mart, she accidently bumped into Janine butcher which made her pretty annoyed with the youngster.

"Why don't you watch where you're going you stupid little girl" Janine hissed "and who are you anyway,I haven't seen you around here before

"I'm karen Brockman and I've just moved here" Karen said, sticking her hand out for Janine to shake. However, Janine refused to shake her hand and told her off again about running into her.

"Well I didn't mean to" Karen said "I'm just abit excited that's all."

"You know something" Janine said, leaning forward so she could make full eye conctact with Karen "I reckon that all children should never be seen or heard."

"Well that's abit silly because if you wern't able to see or hear children then you wouldn't know what they up to" karen pointed out "what if a child was being abducted and you didn't see or hear that they were in trouble because there was a law about children not beeing seen and heard then you wouldn't be able to see or hear that they were being abducted." Janine was quite shocked to hear such a rant coming from the mouth of a nine year old child but she shook it off and told her to run along and do whatever girls her age did.

"I will unless I can ask you a question?" Karen asked.

"What is it?" Janine asked, folding her arms.

"Are you a tart?" karen asked causing Janine to get more annoyed before telling Karen to clear off and mind her own buisness before walking off. Karen shrugged and went into the minute mart with the five pound note that Sue had given her. Over at the Brockman's new house, Jake was texting on his phone when Sue asked to him to help her sort out karen's room.

"Why can't she do it" Jake protested as he continued to text on his phone.

"I was going to ask you to help me position her bed" Sue told him "it'll be too heavy for Karen to do herself but I am quite sure she'll manage the rest herself." Meanwhile, Karen was now bored, she had been to the minute mart and bought herself a bag of sweets but now she was sat on Arthur's bench, eating her sweets and thinking of what she could do next until she got a really good idea, she decided to go and introduce herself to everyone in the square and then return home so she got up from the bench and went to do exactly that.

Back at the Brockman's new house, Jake was helping Sue Position Karen's bed whilst Ben and Pete were in the front room, setting up the Wii.

"Do you think our new neighbours will like us?" Ben asked "or would they think were annnoying neighbours?"

"Well it depends on thier opinion doesn't it" Pete replied "there could be different kinds of people that live here."

"Do you think the Mafia lives here?" Ben asked "or Voldemort?"

"Ben Voldemort is a fictional Character and I think he would prefer to live in an evil secluded area than Walford" Pete told him "and I doubt that the mafia would live here too."

Across the square, over at the beale's house, Ian was getting saucy with Mandy when he heard a knock at the door.

"Oh who is that?" Ian complained as he got up from the sofa and looked out the window to see a small girl with blonde curly hair stood at the door, knocking again. Sighing, Ian went to the door and opened it to the girl who was revealed to be Karen.

"What do you want, I'm busy" Ian told her in a rather rude manner "and if you're here to sell charity tickets then you can clear off."

"Well you're very rude arn't you" said karen "anyway, my name is Karen Brockman and me and my family have just moved into the square."

"Well I'm very pleased to meet you but like I said, I'm busy so clear off" Ian told her before slamming the door in her face. Karen then opened the letter box and told Ian that it was rude to slam the door in people's faces before moving onto the next house.

An hour had passed by and Sue was begining to wonder where Karen was because she hadn't seen her since she went exploring.

"Maybe she's found some new friends and just playing somewhere" Pete suggested. Ben then suggested that she could have been abducted by little green spacemen but Jake gave him a small slap round the head and told him to stop being so stupid before telling Sue that Karen will be fine and she was because she had introduced herself to almost everyone who lived in the square and she had one more house to go to so she went up to that house but before she was about to knock on the door, she heard a woman yelling "RICKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" but she braved it and knocked on the door before waiting for someone to answer the door when she heard the shouty woman again, telling this Ricky person to answer the door.

"Just a minute Bianca,I'm busy trying to fix the washing machine" Karen heard a man's voice say before hearing footsteps coming to the door which then opened and a woman with red hair stood in front of Karen.

"Oh hello, what do you want then?" she asked.

"I have come here to introduce myself, my name is Karen Brockman, me and my family have just moved here and I have been going around introducing myself to everyone who lives here" Karen told her.

"Blimey you have been busy" the red headed woman said.

"Yes and can I ask you something?" Karen asked "is your name Bianca because I heard a man saying that name before you answered the door."

"Yes it is and the man you heard is my husband Ricky, he's in the kitchen trying to fix the washing machine" Bianca told Karen.

"Our washing machine broke once because my brother put two loads of clothes in and my dad whacked it with a hammer which left loads of dents in it so we had to get a man out who knew what he was doing" karen explained just as Sue came over and asked Karen where she had been all this time.

"I went exploring and then I went round, introducing myself to everyone who lives here" Karen told her and Sue asked Bianca if she was being a bother.

"Not at all" said Bianca "I have a daughter nearly the same age so I know how curious kids can be."

"Well come on karen, it's getting late now so we should be getting back" Sue said before Bianca suggested that Sue and her family should come round for dinner tomorrow and meet her family.

"Ok, I'll tell my husband" Sue said before she and Karen headed off to their new house and bid Bianca goodbye.
