A: [In the morning, at 727 Anderson Lane the smell of breakfast being cooked fill the house. Pancakes and toast and bacon and eggs and oh my. Her hair neatly brushed for once and in an actual dress, New Zeala- Christine hums while she cooks, a happy smile on her face. It's another beautiful day in Mayfield, the sun is shining and later she'll take the kids out for a celebration.

As she sets the plates on the table, Censor baas, causing her to start. For a moment she remembers] Cens? What's up mate?

[And then Mayfield and it's droning reclaims her, and a frown covers Christine's face as she walks over to the sheep] Censor? What are you doing in the house?Naughty Censor [and then she the poor dear out]

B: [Then she can be found on a stepladder outside the house, fixing the wonderful decorations around her windows. Fruit and Censor watch from a distance and for a moment Christine looks back, the more boyish full on grin she usually sports appearing. And then just as quick it turns into the Stepford smile, New Zealand shaking her head as she climbs back down the ladder, waving her hands at the two animals with another smile. Lots of things to do today after all, no time to be playing around]

C: [Later in the day, at the park Christine sits on a picnic blanket, watching her two drone kids run around and play. She's the perfect Mayfield wife, it may throw off anyone whose met her before. Laughing she calls the children over, wiping their hands before unpacking a picnic lunch. Just another perfect Mayfield family]

[Was going for a walk, Sam gripped tightly in his arms instead of hanging off his shoulder. He finds himself staring at Christ- New Zealand with a conflicted look on his face. What a lovely family scene of his neighbour's wife and the children- no that's his best mate and she's not like that she's not how the fuck dare they mess with her-

Shaking his head, Australia takes a deep breath and calls out to her.] Oi, sheepshagger!

Oh hello Mr Kelly! [With a wave Christine gets up, brushing off her skirts. Telling the children to stay on the blanket and finish their food, she walks over to Australia, still smiling] Having a walk? It is a nice day for that, isn't it?

[sheepshaggersheepshaggersheepshagger. Belatedly Christine focuses on the insult, frowning at it] What... what was that?

Yeah, it's beaut... I said you're a fucking sheepshagger and [winces] we didn't go to school together, did we? We had tutors, I remember.

Oh my, such language Brooke. Please be more careful, Sally and Andy might here and I don't think they should be using such rude words at their age.

[This is a giggle and it is terrifying] Oh Brooke, what are you talking about? Of course we went to school together. [In a little room with just her and Australia, making paper airplanes out of notes and getting scolded by England.

She frowns] We... we did, didn't we?

No! [Visibly upset. One part of his mind is insisting he's lying and that he and Christine sat in desks on opposite sides of the classroom, watching a teacher write on the blackboard to teach them how to learn the 48 states.] The governors got us tutors I made fun of you coz I learned the twelve times table before you did and one day mum was there and we brought a bunch of spiders and snakes in for "Biology" and made him scream like a girl and it was just us two the whole time! And when he wasn't around we skipped and hung out in the sheep paddocks, remember?

[Deflates a little and tightens his grip on Sam.] That's... Definitely what happened.

[A small smile appears on her face] And then we let Censor into the house and he carted mud everywhere and mum freaked out so much, and then he saw what I did to my hair...

[The smile is replaced with a frown as Christine- New Zealand- Christine holds her head, feeling both true and false memories collide and contradict. But which is which] No... No, Mr Kelly, I think you're a bit sick... we... we went to school together, but there were at least another 20 students with us. And no snakes, goodness, those things terrify me. [Except she can remember holding one, feeling it wind around her eyes, her childish giggles as she unwound it]

No, they don't! Why would they? They're fucking cute! ... Come on, love, look at me, you know I'm telling the truth.

Snakes? Oh Brooke, how silly! You boys, always loving snakes and worms and all those icky things, and not understanding us girls feel a little differently... [Snakes and worms and mud and slugs and mess and it was all brilliant, all fun, wonderful. Lace skirts that itched getting destroyed, mud in dried hair getting cut off, all of it fun]

...I think you think you're telling the truth Brooke. [A look of concern] But you seem quite ill. I think you should go to the hospital.

[Oh thank goodness. the sane one in the family...in a dress.

Oh what was odd about tha-

Everything.]

Chris-

New Zealand. Are you alright?

New Zealand? Now Miss Tiffany, I'm not a country! That's that little place near Australia isn't it? Are you learning about in school dear?

.....

Yes. That's it. School.

Oh my. How are you doing in it dear? Well, I suppose, you do have a good head on your shoulders.

Christine, what are you doing there?

Mr Kirkland? Why I'm out with the kids! We're having a little 4th of July celebration picnic of course!

Looks like quite some fun.

Planning on watching the fireworks later on?

Oh it is! And sure do, we wouldn't miss it for the world.

And yourself, any plans between you and the missus on what to do tonight?

[Wes comes downstairs wearing a bowling shirt and shorts]

Good morning darling! That smells simply delicious!

[And like the perfect stepford housewife she thinks she is, Christine give a happy giggle, coming over to give Wes a kiss on the cheek as she delivers a nice plate of toast, eggs and bacon to the table in front of him]

Why thank you dear! I must say you look rather dashing today don't you. Off with your friends later?

Thank you darling. You look as lovely as ever.

The annual barbecue, of course. And then taking the munchkins to see the fireworks.

Why thank you hun!

Oh of course. And yes, the kids are going to love it this year. They're just at the right age for this, aren't they?

I just hope I picked up enough... hot dogs? Yes, enough hot dogs.

Will you listen to that! I think our little princess just remembered what day it is.

Oh yes, and if we don't have enough, maybe I can run down to the store, pull a few favours.

[Blinks, a frown forming at the noise. She... she doesn't have a child, she can't have children, her people are her children.]

[What...

What a silly thought! Of course that's her little girl!] Ah yes, sure sounds like it! I'll just nip upstairs, see if she likes the dress I bought for today. [Stars and strips with pretty red shoes]

That sounds like a great idea! Endor Day is so wonderful for kids.

Endor... Day? [Frowns, feeling that something is really really wrong. But not sure what it is] No it's... Independence Day... Dear?
