You wake up feeling refreshed and renewed, yet quite hungry. You hop out of bed ready to make your breakfast. However, when you got down, your little brother stopped you.
"Dan, Mom and Dad said that the Threshers invited us to breakfast today. You should change out of your pajamas!"
Confused, you go back to your room and put on some clothes. Who were the Threshers? Could your brother have misheard your parents? After you finish tying your shoes, you ask your mother, who is checking the mail. "Mom, Billy said something about the 'Threshers' inviting us to breakfast."
"I know, isn't that kind of them? We're lucky to have such friendly neighbors."
So, the Threshers were your neighbors. However, the last time you checked, your neighbors were the Hendersons. You decide to go to your father, who is thumbing through the newspaper. "Dad, do you know when the Threshers moved into the neighborhood?"
"I don't know, Daniel, we moved into their neighborhood. Surely you remember that day; Mr. and Mrs. Thresher introducing us to the neighborhood, and you and Billy became friends with Monty and Hillary ever since you met!"
You do not remember any of this, but at least the Threshers sound like nice people. Suddenly the doorbell rang, and your mom exclaimed, "That must be Hillary, she said she would be picking us up."
You do not know why you would need to be driven next door, but your join your family anyway. You are confused when you see nobody outside, just a lumpy green wall that moves very slightly.
You are suddenly very frightened. Looking up, you see an extremely long curved surface attached to the green wall, much higher up than your house, and the surface extends to far behind your house. The surface lifts up a hundred feet and moves back several hundred more, and you see that it is a toe, a raptor's claw. Before you know it, your family is quite literally picked up by a teenage raptor girl, namely Hillary Thresher
