He had just arrived in Detroit and was driving the delivery truck with all of his belongings to his new home. Sensing he was getting closer, Gordon activated his contacts. The HUD said 10:00 AM, 75 degrees Fahrenheit, Sunny, January 12th.

A cartoon broccolli plant ran across his sight of vision waiving it's hands in a panicked manner while smiling. Gordon smirked, he had only had a couple energy bars for breakfast and hadn't gotten a chance to go jogging in the morning as usual. "I know, I know cut me some slack jack. You need to lighten up a little bro" He said. Then the broccolli plant peaked out from behind the leathery stearing wheel, winked and quickly disappeared again. "Yeah, you always know how to get to me. Good thing you're on my side" Gordon said sarcastically with a chuckle and then winked. ;)

Gordon thought 'Directions to new house' and a faint red arrow highlighted the road he was on. There were many houses now and he was glad to see plenty of trees around as well. He noticed two trees in every yard, lots of flowering bushes and every house had the same structure. They were big houses and blended in well with the surroundings. They all looked the same except many were different colors and the window placements varied slightly. There were man made lakes behind the houses on each side of the road. The grass was a vivid dark green.

The fully blooming trees caught the sun and cast dark shadows on the road. The trees were incredibly tall like red woods but had large snaking branches blooming with foliage about every 10 feet or so like something from the mezezoic. They certainly looked exotic. Gordon lowered his head to the stearing wheel to get a better look at the trees. Each branch was full with large green leaves and blooming red and white flowers throughout. A few petals were constantly falling off each tree. "Wow, these guys are good." Gordon said out loud referring to the geneticists at Rafflesia . B)

Then he saw it, the house at the end of the street. A big arrow pointed down from the sky onto his new home. Right as Gordon gazed in wonderment fireworks started blooming in the sky behind the home as booming echoed through his trucks surround speakers. A banner that said 'WELCOME TO VALADIA STREET' fluttered across the sky. Warm air poored in as his truck window opened and a faint aroma of the blossoming flowers invaded his senses along with echoing sounds of crickets or tree frogs, he couldn't tell. Gordon parked along the curb and climbed out of the truck.

Gordon was definatley impressed by the welcome animation that loaded into his contacts, presumabley sent by his real estate agent or his employer. Feeling a little invaded, he deactivated his contacts and walked up to the house. He couldn't get over the air, it was almost as if the flowers were giving off some sort of relaxant yet he felt so envigorated. It was obvious they were engineered, it was January. Also they were huge, but would they go so far as to customize the smell of the flowers? "I wonder what kind of pheromones they put in those" he thought to himself in a joking manner.

He looked around at the emaculate southern style home. It had two stories, it was white, had pillars on its front porch and green shudders around large windows. He rang the doorbell. It played the tune to his favorite song! :blink:
