Page 1 - The Adventure begins

Once upon a time, in a far away land, lived a young girl called Sally and a young boy called James.
James was a very quiet child, always afraid of everything. He was surprisingly tall for a shy boy. His eyes were a wonderful shade of blue, his hair blonde with a sprinkling of brown, and his skin was smooth and clear. He loved to wear clothes that made him as inconspicuous as possible. You might not have noticed him - even if your paths had crossed. His favourite clothes were always browns and greens. He wouldn't even wear a brightly coloured badge in case someone realised that he was there.
Sally was James' friend. He needed her. Sally was as loud as he was quiet, as colourful as he was plain and as confident as he was shy. She wore such a combination of clothes that people would stop in the street and stare. She had black hair with a pink streak. Her eyes were always hidden by huge, coloured sunglasses and her clothes - well, they are almost impossible to describe. You think of things that you wouldn't wear together and Sally would probably have tried.
Her legs were a rainbow of colours. The skirt on top would usually have sparkling pieces and coloured ribbons. Her jackets and scarves were the talk of the town.
These two friends were inseperable - so much so that when Sally decided to leave home (her dad had told her to sort out her dress sense), James had tagged along. he was very, very nervous- especially when Sally headed straight for the ferry. He didn't have money or a passport!
